Ren'Py Holiday Island [v0.4.5.1] [darkhound1]

[Monsieur X]

Then grab the fix at the Extras in the Downloads and make a short note in the Installation instructions ...
Obviously I wasn't the only one who had this problem ...

I don't think it is the dev responsibility to update the OP, that's mods/uploaders business I think.
You are not the first one no but from what I can read on the patreon page for the game, very few patrons encountered the error or where able to fix it by the patches provides by Darkhound.

Anyways, that's bla bla, good that you can play the game, the boobs are great.

the boobs are great.

Boob Bonks for everyone!

Otherwise time would really crawl by.

Sorry, I didn't mention to rollback. I assumed it was obvious because people who play the game a lot can get blindspots like that. Let me restate it better for you.
If you need to force a random event, you can try to get it, and if it doesn't happen, then rollback by pressing <PgUp> until you get back to where you started the attempt. Then open your phone or change locations to reset the randomizer.

I recently stumbled across the "open your phone to reset the randomizer" trick. It has allowed me to shower with somebody in the gym multiple times a day.

 

[Oshitari Azumi]

So you are wanting to remove chance from the game ??
Which makes a game, not a game.

Each event has a probability of you achieving it set by a percentage, say 50% chance if you are at the right place, at the right time , with certain requirements met, you will achieve the goal.

Its like having a set of dice that always land on sixes, where is the fun in that??

It took me over a week to get the Easter egg for Yumiko, but when I did I celebrated my success.

Just try again, or use rollback and try again.

I already got the scene, so no biggie for me anymore but I ask because I try over and over again with rollback and without rollback and I still get nothing. I don't want to grind the game again I just want to see all the new stuff. I mean, if you're someone who finds it cathartic when you finally get one particular scene after just days of rerolling the dice, you do you, but if I can I'd rather just see everything that's new in-game without having to roll those dice.

I ran into a problem. For some reason I don't have access to the new room but I had just finished the quest. It had popped up originally but has since disappeared. Does anyone know how to fix this issue?

 

[fogyfool]

Please can somebody help me out? I cannot do the pokergame anymore. Every time the cards don't change. And the dialogue doesn't continue. I was hoping the new version would bring a solution but it didn't. Please help me to solve this problem. Thanks in advance!

Then again, it's a game that I've already played through. I'm familiar with the journey. Is it wrong that I just want to see what's new?

No, nothing wrong with wanting to see what's new.
So to see what's new you have to play the game.
The game has rules of chance and choices.
If you don't like the rules then don't play the game.

Some Renee sprites missing - at least arrival and swimsuit...

Thanks for testing and reply. Renée definitely deserves fix, problem is both Renee and Renée in scripts. New link is:

hi sarkhound,
I have successfully downloaded the new version 0.2.0 of the game, but unable toi proceed due to the bug error codes. I have attached the traceback file for assistance to fix the bug

 

[soultornone]

Wow, keen eyes !

Man, this escalated from a simple yes or no question to someone pretty much telling me to not play the game if I don't like the rules it sets up. I mean, it's a porn game.
As long as it's not affecting you on a personal level, does it matter if I cheat or not?

Yes it did seem to escalate rapidly.



Sorry, bit of humor. Look there is no right or wrong answer as to why you play or how you play. That being said, there is no right or wrong way for how the developer sets up the game play mechanics. It is his game. Is a week between meetings with Joy a pain? Yes, I suppose it could be. As I see it, you have a couple options.

1) Use unren to unlock all the new renders and look at them to your heart's content.​

​

2) If you want the actually scenes with dialogue, play the game as the developer has written it. That doesn't mean you have to actually wait seven days. By that I mean, have a meeting with Joy on say a Tuesday and get the quest, which you then complete. Now stay in your room (or my personal favorite the gym) and just click on the wait 30 minute icon repeatedly. Ignore all messages, knocks on the door, or any interaction with anybody. When it hits 23:00hrs go to bed and sleep until morning and repeat. Depending on the speed of your system or device you can breeze through a complete week in about 5 - 10 minutes. Now go get another meeting with Joy. Repeat as necessary until you have completed all quests.​

 

[tmg9000]

Are you sure? That traceback is from version 0.0.8. You do know we are up to version 0.2.0, right? Next, it would be helpful if you would attach YOUR traceback report and EXACTLY what the problem is. Otherwise, we are just guessing.

<Edit> Went back and opened the original quoted post. It is from 2018, two years ago. tmg9000, do us all a favor and just delete the game now and stop wasting our time with your useless posts.

It's not the cannot set video mode error but maybe try the resolution fix by creating a txt file named use_fixed_resolution_720.txt in the "game" folder in C:\Matty\games\HolidayIsland-0.2.0.0-pc or check the pateron page, Darkhound posted some patches.

For all of you that get crashes as soon as you click on preferences or load, please manually add an empty text file in the HI sub folder "game".
Name the file: "use_fixed_resolution_720.txt"

Why am I annoyed? I am not annyoed, nor did I act annoyed.
The problem is that everyone seems to think he/she knows something and is mixing everything up, stuff that has absolutely nothing to do with one another.
This is what my preferences screen looks like. You see there are the options to use 1920x1080.

I know what I coded and I'm pretty sure it is working for the huge majority, or we would see a lot more complaints, because one thing is for sure in this forum - if something even a tiny little something is not working, there will be complaints.

This is the code that is executed when the game starts:

init -5 python:
    from time import time
    import datetime
    import os
    if os.name == "nt":
        import ctypes
        g_user32 = ctypes.windll.user32
        g_y_physical_screen = g_user32.GetSystemMetrics(1)
    else:
        g_y_physical_screen = 1200

And this is the code that defines the preferences:

                    if not renpy.loadable("use_fixed_resolution_720.txt"):
                        vbox:
                            style_prefix "check"
                            label _("Resolution")
                            textbutton _("manual resize") action SetField(persistent, 'resolution', 1000)
                            textbutton _("1280x720") action SetField(persistent, 'resolution', 1280)
                            textbutton _("1600x900") action SetField(persistent, 'resolution', 1600)
                            if g_y_physical_screen >= 1200:
                                textbutton _("1920x1080") action SetField(persistent, 'resolution', 1920)
                            if g_y_physical_screen >= 1600:
                                textbutton _("2560x1440") action SetField(persistent, 'resolution', 2560)

So if you get 1440 when you manually execute the command after the game has been loaded, maybe it starts on your secondary screen which has lower settings?
Please check the variable g_y_physical_screen in the console.
Just type:
g_y_physical_screen
If you also get 1440 then I have no idea why it doesn't work. But probably you get 1080 or lower.
I only use one screen, so I cannot really test this.
If g_y_physical_screen is not 1440, you can try this:
Open the console and type:
g_y_physical_screen = 1440
After that, go to the preferences. You should see the additonal option 1920x1080 now.
If for whatever reason windows returns the resolution from the wrong monitor when the game starts, I'm pretty sure something can be found to work around that. But I wasn't aware of that problem.

EDIT: If you have the problem that higher resolutions are not available, please try the files attached in the zip. Copy them to the "game" folder and replace the two existing files. The logic has been changed, so that every time the preferences are opened, the game will again get the native resolution of your screen (instead of only once when the game is started). Please let me know if this works for you.

thanks I ll gice it a try
