Others Abandoned Glamour [v0.57] [Dark Silver]

[JasonJemodah]

The structure of the log files seem to be the same as the json file you export using GlamourEdit. I can't seem to get the conversion to work, however.

Well, I'M still confused. You said you want him to "ditch the Kate crap" which is essentially same as wanting BB to happen all over again.

I guess we just have a big misunderstanding My whole point was that the Kate portion of the game is generating much less interest but still eating up development time. I don't care about the name of the game, I don't mind the slightly different approach to the story in Glamour or the new renders(except for Lisa's hair), I just think the focus should be on releasing mostly(if not only) Max content. That's it. Does that mean that "BB will happen all over again"? I don't know. And I don't know how that's different from what's happening right now. Take it as you will, because I don't think I can explain it any better.

I donwloaded the game and it doesn't say 'offline' anywhere as it used to say and my saves from 0.24 don't work, how do I know this is the offline version ?

Because starting with .27 there is no online version

 

[showie]

so the saves from previous versions doesnt work?
how can i fix this? or i need start new game?

 

[Joe Banana]

Yes, perfectly clear.

Here's an "Idiot's Guide" I just thought of that might help you not make that mistake again.

-Glamour (2016) - Abandoned.

-Big Brother - Abandoned

-Glamour (this one) - In development remake that was announced during Big Brother's development that would be set in the same setting/universe as BB, featuring some characters from it, whilst being focused around a female protagonist called Kate. A token male protagonist called Alex was introduced also, was to be just a male version of Kate.

-Glamour 0.12 - Max replaces Alex as male protagonist, and results in Glamour being a game about two different characters and stories, with the Max side being a remake of Big Brother with some story differences.

In other words, this remake has another remake inside of it.

Dude talking to you is borderline pointless. How does that relate to anything I've said in this thread?

 

[JasonJemodah]

There seems to be some check against a locked .lbd file when loading saves, if I understand the .log file correctly.

Any chance the dev is going to rework Lisa's renders with her old hair? And maybe give up on all this Kate crap?
[/QUOTE]
No chance on the hair DS had a patreon vote and majority wanted to keep new hair because changing old renders would take up time away from new content. If you want more BB content keep an eye out for when he has a vote to change the update schedule and vote.

Thank you, that's pretty much all I was looking for when I posted this

Important: Starting with Glamour v0.27 savegames don't need to be decrypted anymore and thus GlamourEdit is neither working nor needed any longer on newer versions.

How to import old save games into Glamour 0.27

* updated version *

• Use GlamourEdit to export your savegame to a JSON file.
• Open Glamour 0.27 and press CTRL+Shift+I
• A new window will open, on the bottom half you should now see a console where you can enter text. (Click on the Console tab at the top if you can't see it).
• Paste the following code in there (make sure you copy all of it):

• const uploadElement = document.createElement("input");
  const prepareDom = () => {
  uploadElement.type = "file";
  uploadElement.addEventListener("change", () => {
  const reader = new FileReader();
  let file = uploadElement.files[0];
  reader.addEventListener("load", function () {
  importSavegame(reader.result);
  }, false);
  reader.readAsText(file);
  });
  document.body.appendChild(uploadElement);
  };
  const importSavegame = (savegame) => {
  try {
  character = JSON.parse(savegame).currentCharacterId;
  if (character === undefined) {
  showInfo("Could not detect character of the provided save game. Exiting...");
  return;
  }
  console.log(character);
  insertNewSave(character, savegame);
  } catch (error) {
  showInfo("Something went wrong. Make sure you selected an unencrpyted version of your save game");
  }
  };
  const insertNewSave = (character, savegame) => {
  let highestSlot = Object.keys(localStorage).filter(n => n.startsWith("save:" + character)).map(item => parseInt(item.split(":")[3]));
  let freeSlot = Math.max(-1, ...highestSlot);
  let currentTime = Math.round((new Date).getTime() / 1000);
  localStorage[`save:${character}:${currentTime}:${++freeSlot}`] = savegame;
  showInfo("Your savegame should be imported now.");
  document.body.removeChild(uploadElement);
  };
  const showInfo = alert;
  prepareDom();

• Press ENTER. If everything went well you will now see a file picker at the top left of your screen labeled "Choose File". If the game is hanging or not responding, close the game and repeat the steps.
• Click on that button and select the JSON file you exported earlier.
• You will get a success message if your savegame was imported properly. If not, make sure you selected the right file.
• The Choose File button will now vanish. Close the developer tools by pressing CTRL+Shift+I again (you can also just restart the game, but it's not necessary)
• Go to the "LOAD GAME" screen. Your savegame should now appear in that list granted you have the correct character selected.

* alternative version *

• Use GlamourEdit to export the savegame you want to play to a JSON file.
• Open Glamour 0.27 and start a new game and choose the same character your old savegame uses.
• Once inside the game, click the cog wheels, select SAVE GAME and save your game. You will be redirected back to the main menu.
• Open the JSON file you exported earlier in a text editor of your choice and copy its content to your clipboard
  • Alternatively just select the save in GlamourEdit, click on the editor on the right, press CTRL+A to select all and CTRL+C to copy to clipboard.
• Do whatever way you prefer but the result must be that your old unencrypted save game is now in your clipboard.
• Back in the game press CTRL+Shift+I to open the Chrome Developer Tools.
• Select the tab "Application" at the top (if you dont see it, try resizing the new window that opened and make it bigger or click on », then Application.
• On the left side click on the arrow next to Local Storage to expand it, then click on file://.
• In the list that showed up check the Key column and look for a string that starts with save. For example: save:kate:1593106068:0. If you selected max it will save max instead. Pick the the one with the highest number at the end after the last colon ). (The format of this string is always save:<maincharacter>:<unixtimestamp>:<slotid>)
• Doubleclick on the text in the "Value" column and you'll notice the whole text will be selected. Press CTRL+V to paste and overwrite this text.
• Press CTRL+Shift+I again to close the Chrome Developer Tools. Back in the game click on Load Game.
  You should now see your old save. You should load it and save it again ingame to make sure it stored it correctly.

You must be registered to see the links

TL;DR: DS included the developer tools in this release for whatever reason which makes it very easy to access the browser that's powering the game. Replace a value in the local storage with your save contents and the game will recognize it.

To make it easier in the future we should probably implement a modified loading system in the game. I attached the (somewhat) unobfuscated source code of the game in case anyone feels like doing that. Relevant code starts at line 5624.

Cheers,

How does that relate to anything I've said in this thread?

I'll refresh your memory, with your own words.

Nothing of the sort. This game IS BB, just with bad Lisa haircut and less frequent updates due to the Kate part. Personally I enjoyed playing the Max part(up until the last update, haven't tried this one yet). As for the clear statements - I hope you don't think I've read all 575 pages of comments... And even if I did, it is clearly happening so I'm kinda missing your point here.

So... It relates directly to what you said. Might want to remember what you've written in future.

 

[Deleted member 237822]

I can't facepalm myself hard enough in response to this.
There's no way to open the cheats file in this game yet as I don't think DS has programmed them in yet.
7767, please amend the opening post to reflect this.

Lukumoide, it's possible he just wants to cut the grind down and doesn't want to fiddle with CE.

Do you think we could get moderator privileges to fix op ourselves since no one else does?

Newer mind.... Found it , thanks

And the most important question: Can we change Max's relations to Ann, Lisa and Alice in 0.27 free game (offline or what the hell it is now)? Yes or no. I mean that how Max call Ann, Lisa and Alice. Like mom and sisters. Or what you ever want.
