Ren'Py Abandoned Heavy Five [Ch.2RS] [Nottravis]

[NeimadFR]

You use unren (either for Windows, or Mac/Linux).

I just opened scripts.rpa in the notepad and found the line with the search function, won't it work if I edit it in there ? Is unren mandatory ?

To extract it? Won't it still use the scripts in the archive?

 

[anne O'nymous]

Is unren mandatory ?

Yes. If you edit it directly into the RPA, you'll break the whole RPA file and all the scripts.

No, Ren'py will use the most recent version. You can, eventually, have an error when you'll try to launch the game for the first time, with Ren'py not wanting to work. But just launch it again and everything will be good this time ; it's just Ren'py making a fuss to have some attention.

It works! But I had to change the talkfmc picture from jpeg to png.

Normally it wasn't needed. Ren'py shouldn't care about the extension. As long as it's a supported one, it will load the image even if the format isn't the one implied by the said extension.
It's what permit to have compressed version of games here ; the images are webp, but the extension stay the original to not mess with the game.

I have no idea what I'm doing wrong, I followed the instructions but only have the talkmc without the BASE talk

Hmm. Are you sure you have "BASE talk" and not "BASE_talk"?

noname is banned, the review stays since we don't delete old posts of banned users, I still come around to clean the off-topic posts and Patrick Stewart is best girl. All those matters are closed and not up to discussion.

Yeah, that's the first thing I checked

Hmm... Looks like you forgot the change in script.rpy, or to save the file after you changed it

I checked multiple times, the change is done, saved and still there when I re-open it (I renamed the old scripts script backup.rpy and script backup.rpa and put them in another folder for good measures so there shouldn't be a conflict)
I copy/pasted it in a Google Doc if you want to check

Stop here, it's the error. Put this file outside of the "game" directory (and not in a sub directory). Ensure that you also removed the rpyc version of this file.

Ren'py don't care of the name, he'll see "whatever.rpy", he'll think that it's a script and use it. Therefore, you changed the line in the original... then revert the change in the backup

 

[NeimadFR]

Hurray ! Thanks !

That's a very good thing to know. This might be useful to note in your step by step guide. Initially, I also made a backup of the script file before I decided to extract fresh new iteration of the game for this purpose.

It's my own fault for renaming it script backup.rpy, had I changed the extension and named it script.bak I assume I wouldn't have had any problems But I agree it's a good idea to warn against in the instructions.

Done, more or less.
I didn't said that,but explained how to keep the original line without the need to backup the file. The result is the same, and it's easier to explain.

 

[ToxicLemming]

Hurray ! Thanks !

Nice, but making it either Kirk or Riker would have been more lore friendly.

If I want to make a backup of a file in the game folder, I right click and add to a compressed file (script.rar for example), then I can safely edit or delete the original and it won't affect the running of the game.

Was it just me or did anyone else get spooked when picking a character and them turning into Anakin after the fight on mustafar?I thought they might glow a bit when you hover over them but they straight up turned into lava,I did not expect that shit xD

That's young Jean-Luc. He's always looked the same.
