VN Ren'Py Completed Haley's Story [v1.1 Pre-Patched] [Viitgames]

[Penfold Mole]

Hi folks, can I ask for some help with an error? I installed the new 0.94 patch, got this error, then deleted and reinstalled without the patch but got the same error.

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

This is not a bug, it has to be a consequence of something you've done wrong. This shouldn't happen.
I hope you haven't been extracting new releases of this game on top of previous ones?

The variable you're missing was introduced in the previous release (episode 22) of the game on the non-Sandra path.
Unless you've skipped that part, of course (Totally doable by using some cheat mod, a mod that tries to remove Adriana or something like that. Or by using dev console and jumping directly to any part of the game).
By properly playing through the previous part this variable should have a boolean value, depending on the choice you made to either go and look at Adriana's new apartment (and move in there with her and Haley in the future) or not to (and choose the future path with Lisa instead).

If you have been using a mod, then go there and ask about this problem.
If you used dev console to skip a part of the game, then you should be able to deal with the consequences, to read the code and also know how to set value to a variable that you missed

About the duplicate sections of dialog with the therapist. It seems that a section of code for incest was added to that for non-incest and got into both downloads. [One section refers to player_name, the duplicate to your brother.] Upon reviewing both the code and the images, it doesn't appear that anything is missing.

I do wish they would pay more attention to testing. The quality control for the code in this game has been abysmal throughout. This particular error is one that appears in whichever route you are playing, and is in both the incest and non-incest code. It is IMPOSSIBLE to miss if you actually play the release through in at least one route.

Where is that duplicate section? In the non-incest version only? Or both? I think I missed it and can't find it, otherwise I'd fix it. A sentence from dialog could help me to find it.

 

[Hellster]

Just crashes when trying to load a save, then goes back to the start of the game, that's without any mods or incest patch

Incest patch ep23.rpy. Have not looked in non-incest version.

There is no duplicate part of the script it the incest version patch I downloaded. While line 1792 and the following part looks the same, the part starting at line 1845 looks like this:

                h "\" You said I don't have to talk about anything I don't want to.\""
                ma "\" That's true.\""
                hide r23_168
                show r23_170
                with dissolve
                " Her gaze becomes downcast."
                hide r23_170
                show r23_171
                with dissolve
                ma "\" We need to move beyond the jokes and banter.\""

So I'm guessing that it was fixed after you downloaded it and before I did.

Haley kinda looks like Ireland Baldwin, mostly the eyes and mouth.

The duplicated text isn't in the patched version I have either, but ep23.rpy lines 1842 to 1894 still duplicate lines 1789 to 1841 in the standard/Patreon version I downloaded at the same time.

A few other typos have been corrected in the patch but not the standard/Patreon version.

Thanks for the info!
I don't think I'm going to work on fixing both versions of the game, sticking with the original incest version.

Is this because of the walkthrough mod or something i've done? Started when me and Victor visited Alexandra

Considering the error message, highly likely because of the mod.
Has the mod even been updated to match v0.94 yet?

It has been, yes

It looks like you have combined some patches on top of the original game.
Walkthrough mod is still using Alexandra's character variable named ax, as I implemented in the v0.93 bugfix patch and there is no variable named alexis in the walktrhough mode's ep22.rpy
Original v0.94 uses alexis instead, as does my bugfix for v0.94.

It seems that you have added some patch (my bugfix patch?) on top of the mod that replaces ep22.rpy of the mod with the v0.94-based file with alexis variable in it, with the script.rpy file still from the walkthrough mod.
Any patch that replaces episode script files and isn't from the walkthrough mod eliminates modifications added by the mod and since the mod is still using a variable that has been replaced in the original game with a different one leads all attempts to mix modifications or patches that are using different variables for Alexandra's character to this kind of errors.

Alex is defined in the base script file

Not sure what the user did/didn't do but if their script file doesn't have it there it would return that error.
Also just checked the lewd patch for that episode and it's correctly labled as Alex there.

So something was changed on their end like you said.

I just downloaded that wt mod before I posted my previous answer.
It replaces script.rpy with one where Alexandra is defined as ax.
ep22.rpy of the wt mod also uses ax.

Put my bugfix on top of it and it replaces ep22.rpy with one that uses alex as it is in the original v0.94

I thought I was pretty clear about it. You kind of missed that it's the wt mod that we were talking about?

Thanks for the reply. No, I don't use consoles or mods, just the incest patch. I recall from part22 that I did not stay with Adriana. If that's where the problem is, I'm happy to go back to an earlier save and try playing through again.
Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction.

No. I was pointing out that you keep saying alexis when the user's error has alex is not defined.

I was in agreement that if alex isn't defined that the user changed something be it WT mod or something else

In the beginning of ep22 adimovein is set to False by default. In the scene with Adriana it gets set to True if you choose 'Yes'.
If you chose 'No' it should still be set to False, unless the beginning of ep22.rpy was skipped somehow.

I'm not accusing you of cheating. I couldn't care less about it
It's just the only way I can see it being possible.

You could just set it to True or False by using console and continue without going back and trying again.

 

[Maviarab]

Seems this might purely be an issue with Adrianna path perhaps? I'm on a Haley only run, no issue with crashes, bad code, patches or anything else.

No. I have a save on that path and didn't experience the issue posted.
It's likely that the user did something like overwriting files as penfold said earlier.

Aye fair enough then, logical reason for sure. Something I never do.

I did install both the WT mod and the bugfix and got the issue. I was on the Haley and Sandra route
