Yeah that's very odd because I have all of that but Maria isn't popping up when I got to the room at Noon. Even tried passing through the Weekend but no dice
I think there might be a bug with that event IIRC, but I can't find the switch, not my strong point, but maybe one of the others can fix it for you.

Double check the garden? Some of her events now take place there if Nia is involved - not sure if it's the same, but with no mod, I encountered no issues with her storyline on a fresh save.
Multipart rar (or zip or 7zip, etc...) files are NOT independent files. They were NOT manually created one by one. They are just ONE big rar file broken into parts.
None of them, on its own, actually respects the rar file format, so none of them is individually uncompressable.
WinRAR needs to have them in the same folder, and when you give the "extract" command it silently treats them as if they were a single file and then extracts the contents of ALL.
That's why when you try to extract "the second" it prompts you if you want to overwrite what you have already extracted: because you're trying to extract the same thing, even if the first time you gave the command from file 1 and the second time from file 2.
Another hint is: you are telling that after extracting rar file 1 you got one 12 GB zip "which is the content of par 1"... WRONG! 12 GB is the size of the original official Harem Hotel zip file created by Runey, and that someone else split in three 5 GB + 5GB + 2 GB rar PARTIAL files.
(There's NO WAY you can compress down to 5 GB a 12 GB file that WAS ALREADY COMPRESSED!!! So there's NO WAY that that 12 GB zip file was contained all in the first rar file: it was contained in all the three RAR files combined together.)
By giving the command "extract" on the first rar PART file, you have correctly reconstructed the original 12GB zip file (yes, also the parts that your physically downloaded by downloading part 2 and part 3!) and you have nothing more to do on the rar side of the story.
Just unzip that 12 GB zip, because it is the full release.

Gonna take a look at your save in a moment.
EDIT: fixed. It was that one new var that I talked about in this other post.

First the problem was already solved, see The Halo's latest post. Second although mostly technically true, this statement isn't true in general.
All depend on the used compression algorithm and the data itself. Most time you won't end with that and only get sightly better compression, but I wouldn't general write that you can't compress a already compressed file to 41% of it size.

True, some files are able to be compressed more than others, but as we all know, extreme compression can be bad.
A funny example, mixed with a warning.
A long time ago, in an internet world that is slowly fading away, (warez forums) you could find super compressed downloads that contained the installer iso image of Windows XP that were only 14.5 mb's in size.
The actual pre compression size was about 4gb's.
The program used was KGB Archiver. <<<< EVIL PROGRAM, DO NOT USE!!!!!!!!!!!
After compression, you, the one compressing it could extract the file to test it and it would work fine, and you could install windows with the ISO you had compressed and then extracted, after burning it to disc.
Hint: The data for the compressed file was stored in your system when you compressed it, and that data was used during the test extraction.
BUT!!!!
Anyone who downloaded that compressed file got nothing but an ISO file that was full of dummy files that had file names, but contained no code at all when you examined the files with notepad ++.
The code was compressed right out of the files.
Needless to say, a lot of people got really pissed, especially when people kept sharing those crappy downloads on other sites.

Actually, if I'm not mistaken, most games are compressed in size by reducing the quality of the renders and animations or the bitrate of videos.
EDIT: I think this is the most used, Cruncher

True, but we were talking about the compression of zip, rar and other such files.
Yes, but that is by definition lossy compression. It can be applied to images and other media, but obviously not to code, nor to data structure (like a zip file)...
...BECAUSE what you get when you decompress it is not an exact copy of the original.
On this forum are marked as "compressed" all those archives which once extracted give something that is not the exact byte per byte copy of what you would have had if you extracted the zip published by the author.
If you want to make a "[LOSSLY] compressed" version of Harem Hotel you have to first unzip the official zip, crunch the images and other media, loosing quality, then create another zip that once unzipped will obviously give your smallest version of the game with lower image quality and not the version given by decompressing the original zip by Runey.
The split version is not marked as "compressed" because it doesn't contains lower quality media due to LOSSY compression.
It is indeed compressed, because they give Runey's zip as input to WinRAR which is a compression algorithm, but it is a LOSSLESS compression: what you get after extraction is an EXACT copy of what you have compressed, so it's not marked as "compressed" on this forum.
They simply compressed Runey's zip with WinRAR not to reduce it's size, but only to use the feature "divide in multiple archives of max 5 GB each".
The purpose is not to save transmission bandwidth, but to decrease the probability of connection timeout during download, because many users with poor internet connection (including me) experienced this problem even with JDownloader: 60% or so of download that can't be resumed and the only option was restarting from zero.
So once you extract the RAR you get exactly the same zip as Runey published.

If the problem was already solved, my bad, sorry I missed it.
About the compression, see my previous reply.
We were talking about RAR-ring a ZIP, so of course about LOSSLESS compression.
You can't compress a zip "loosing quality"
change even a single bit and it will not be a valid zip anymore, and you won't be able to unzip it.

Wow, I have to say when I started this game I read no reviews, comments, or walkthroughs so I assumed this was just going to your average harem game.
I have never been glad to be more wrong, the depth you taken with the games story is fantastic, your characters are really well fleshed out, and I really enjoy the world building.
The conflict between the elves and the human is so good! I normally hate the tired humanity bad trope but you've done a great job with how ignorant and vile the people of Syl'anar are. I can't wait for more.

That is a limitation of HS, there is almost no content for males, and some of that is broken. Runey tried to make it generic as possible, to allow more people to relate, it's why we never see his face.
I seem to be running into the same problem with Maria being stuck at level 30. I have Nia and she's maxed out; I've even gotten to some dialog from Maria referring to events in and after level 31, but the event doesn't happen. Is it possible for me to change the variable in question myself? If not, where would I find a game save on a Mac?
Any idea where I'd find that on a Mac? I saw some references up-thread to where it is on Windows, but I'm having trouble translating that to where I'd need to look on my Mac.
