MOD UPDATE:
Due to life today I am getting a late start on trying to complete all the backporting of Runey's changes before I can even get to the process of updating the WT part. If I had to guess on an ETA it will be Thursday even my time at the earliest if not sometime Friday. My apologies but life is what it is.



Also if you'd rather me continue my mod instead of using Lain's upcoming version then please give this post a Heart so I can see if I should continue or not.
At current point, i'm think good approach it is make own version (fork) of the mod - throw away "backward compatible saves" and assimilate the best Lain's additions, navigate and play Harem Hotel efficiently incredibly hard if target is only story. So this mod alleviate the painful adventures with checking the text walkthrough, going back to game... back and forth. So what you took - hero work.
This time Runey returned to much earlier stage in its game and seems going continue "outside map" mechanic add here & there... making previous progress invalidated - so trying keep oldier saves, ignoring new mechanic is might be harmful.

So basic needed features:
1) Walkthrough menu like already implemented for every character which hover above game ui at any place.
2) Of course cheat menu. Probably with more commands, such as change characters stats. Through MC's PC seems kinda limited list of cheats - such as "jumptoend" handy, but useless in own full playthrough.
In my opinion this most important features - everything else is nice to have.

Pretty sure if you can - you probably want to avoid any spaghetti code in your work. Dunno.

No hate to Lain, on the contrary, Lain did some major contributions to a lot of games and I appreciate them a lot for it. However, personally, I'd prefer you stick around, or at the very least, be ready to jump back into it in case Lain disappears again. And also, if the screenshots are to be believed, your mod is a lot more "purist" since Lain's mod adds content unlike yours.

Anyone else getting nonstop errors? I started a brand new game with a fresh install, and every time I enter Kali's room on day 2 it gives me an error that traps me in her dialogue, something about 'ho_kali_goth not recognized'. Can't ignore, can't rollback, crashes every time. : /
I bet that you installed the cheat mod.
That exact same thing happened to me when I installed it.
Deleting the game folder and starting again without the mod fixed the issue.

There where already several reports of issues with Maria's outfits, Runey
I can confirm that. The outfit selection for Maria's repeatable events has no effect at all.

There are two sets of variables involved in selecting the outfits and the scenes and they get confused somehow. I guess this should be only one set of variables, or even better only one variable.
I am still unable to repeat this error, it just doesn't happen. It never has.

Houston we got a problem maybe next updat if you can fix it this is when she is off the drugs When Lin is in the kitchen you go to the Hot Springs you se her sister with a tattoo this is when she is clean she has no tattoos hope you understand this
Not sure I follow.

Question. Just out of curiosity and because the info may help others, did you by any chance use the cheat mod in the past?
I had to restart the game due to reinstalling windows, so I used a full install.
The first try, I installed the cheat mod, and it crashed on day 2 when I visited either Lin or kali in their room, with references to clothing issues being the cause in the trace back.

Deleting the game folder and extracting it again, without using the cheat mod, fixed the issue.
Since then, I have had "ZERO" issues with the game.

yes, i used the mod in the past, but i stopped using it 3 or 4 patches ago and it never gave problems.....i have to say tho that every time a new patch came out i always downloaded the full game and this is the first time i simply downloaded the update patch, so maybe its the update patch that cause some problem

Ashram's was based on Lain's from before she went MIA and it's basically a straight guide for the characters, including side characters iirc. Lain's probably will include all that, but Lain also is apparently adding her own content to the game as well.

Keep it up! That wasn't meant as a slight against you, i just meant adult games in general!
I can't take any real credit there, I don't do a lot to help on the wiki, other than talking to the guys who do most of the work on it about some events, and how they trigger, but I am sure they appreciate the complement, I meant 'we' as in the community. They work really hard on it, and it keeps getting better all the time.

A wiki is only as good as its community.

My mod is originally based off of Lain's 0.13 code, I just changed a few things like the Money Cheat, starting you with $6k to lower the grinding for money and added/changed the context of the choices to better help the player make decisions or inform them what needs to be done first.

This mod still has Lain's original side story content from 0.13 but that is still something you can turn off in her Cheat Menu and I won't be added any of her new story content to this mod.

As a general rule for these Ren'Py (and other) games, if you used a mod then you must continue to play future updates with the mods because they change the game code and can cause issues if you use a previous save with a mod on a clean unmodded (newer) version of the game.



I did finish backporting all of the changes that got patch rejected expect the main script file. This means a Thursday release looks very possible, short of anything extra life might through at me.

Walkthrough / Cheat Mods (0.15.1v4 Public)

Since Lain is still MIA, I decided to give this game my Walkthrough / Cheat Mod treatment based off of her original mod.
I have revamped some of her mod work and updated other parts of her mod.

WARNING:
If you are having errors after loading a save from the previous version of the game then go back to the previous version of the game and Save In The Lobby.
Then immediately after you load your save in the new version Click The Bar Icon and your game should play without issue afterwards.

Don't worry, I know many of us can wait for you to finish the mod. And as for whether or not to continue with the mod after lain releases it, I agree with Uthuriel, it's too early to vote on whether or not to continue with your mod.

I know that you are not the original creator of the cheat mod, and that you were kind enough to pick up where they left off, which we do appreciate.
I'm only telling you this so that if it is a problem, perhaps you can locate it and repair it.

Details of what I have seen and observations, with one of the tracebacks.
I had a completely clean install of windows, no save files at all and was starting the game over again from scratch.
Extracted the game.
Installed the mod to the game folder as I always did before I replaced the boot drive.
Everything seemed fine till day 2 in the game while trying to enter Kali's or Lin's room, where the game would crash, with references to clothing items being the issue in both rooms.
Rolling back or ignoring the error did not work. You could not proceed past that point at all.
In Lins case, it was the vine outfit that was mentioned.

Tried a few times, restarting the game, and it crashed in the same places every time.
Finally, deleted the game folder, and re extracted it.
Did not install the mod, and the game ran flawlessly.

My thoughts on it are that something that Runey changed in the earlier part of the game is conflicting with the game mod and causing the crash.
Lin's vine outfit was mentioned in the traceback, but in game, you do not see the vine outfit till later.
If my thoughts are correct, then someone who has been playing the game for a while, with the mod might never experience the crash, because it happens so early in the game.
But, new players who use the cheat mod may well be subject to it, and find themselves having to re extract the game and start over again, and use it without the cheat mod, and likely those people would not trust the cheat mod ever again.

I liked the cheat mod, it had useful feature, but as it stands, I won't be re installing it again any time soon.

Maybe this will help you to see what I was talking about.

Did the "Sneak around" option change? I'm fairly well into the game, but all the girls are greyed out. If I click on one, it says "We're not that close yet, she probably wouldn't like it if I came by this late at night."

From previous playthroughs I'm pretty sure I was able to visit them by this point.

Color me confused.

Edit: This is a fresh install, all previous saves deleted before starting, and no mods or other edits to the game beyond the 'makeitrain' code entered into the computer for starting cash.
