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

[norb82]

I don't think it has anything to do with your memory speed or that you have only 8 GB of memory.
The game doesn't need a lot of main memory. It's more GPU (graphic card) memory that is needed.
It also depends on when you have these short periods of "lags" or whatever you want to call them.
If it happens when you load a lot of images (e.g. before an animation is played), it could be your hard drive (in case the game is not on SSD, but still on a good old HDD).
If the game feels slow when changing from one location to another or when the calculations for the next day are done during the night, then it's probably the single core CPU performance that is the bottle neck.
Unfortunately, Python, as a very high level language that is interpreted, is between 10 to 100 times slower than e.g. C.
And all of Renpy and all my code is in Python.
On top of it, it doesn't support multi processor / parallel execution, at least not in any reasonable way inside Renpy.

Runs great even on my older laptop which doesnt have GPU, only integrated Intel HD4000.

Ooooo a response from the creator LOL. I run a Q9650 Quad(all cores open) with a GTX1050 TI 4gig DDR5 but not at it's full capacity being my motherboard is not a PCI 3.0. Only weird hiccup is when using the phone to look up scenes I need. just a slight pause. No biggie. I'll leave it as is. Thanks Dark

I can tell you that on a Big Screen TV, Ivy coming around the corner will definitely knock you back in your chair.

Now you have stated the slight pause problem...
Yes I get the same when loading the phone, for the first few seconds can not use scroll or pick a image to see the text/stats etc..

I will guess to say that its something to do with lots of high res images being size reduced to make the phone gallery so needing alot of graphic and processing power.

I thought that too, that's why I took the time and changed it experimentally for Amy (events only). Low res super small additional images are used now. It's a little better, but nowhere in the area I had hoped that it would be. That's why I put it on hold for the moment.
You can try it for yourself. Open Amy on the phone and switch between events and scenes or events and appointments.
It's definitely faster, but still kind of slow.

Yes I see only a slight improvement.
If I transfer from Amy's events to appointments I get the longest pause out of the options.

Ooooh so now your gonna knit pick because your women Amy who has the most content slows you down. Geees

One thing you can never say about Amy is that she slows you down.
Being a fitness coach she is always active.

Speaking of which here she is at my door...

​

We are off to share some popcorn and watch a movie on the Big Outdoor Screen the Architect has fitted next to the Beach Bar.

Don't let me keep you yankeeInKy from corrupting Faye with your German Black Metal.
It was for the best you kicking Alice to the curb for Faye as Alice would have dropped you like a lead balloon after finding out you like that kind of music

Best not keep her waiting...catch you later

 

[yankeeInKy]

LOL!!! Oh were easing her into the dark sloowly. We'll try Doom metal soon. She'll love Clouds Taste Satanic

[brianiac]

I found a "bug" where the ladies appear upside-down in my room.

But I kinda like it ...

 

[Deleted member 2487405]

I posted a few weeks back needing help finding one last event for Eva. I've tried going through the Yoga scenes and new arrival. Nothing. Does anyone know what triggers the event ?

 

[shinomond]

Basically, have her on the island and keep loving on her a lot. Its a random text with image that you are missing, and the girls send them out if their stats stay high enough. Although nothing guarantees you will get one. May be a few hours may be weeks to get it. I have been trying for weeks to get the elevator scenes to trigger with no luck so far. Nothing broken, just bad luck with random chance.

 

[Heather=Life]

Okay guys, I have 2 scenes that I would like to get some help with (since I am not getting them no matter how hard I try).
The first is Eva's second shower scene. I completed the first one, but to get her to play the game, you need to find her in the shower a second time. I have tried everything, but I cannot seem to make it happen.
The second is Heather and Jessica's topless posing scene on the beach. Is there anyone that made this one happen? It says that you need them both on the beach in skimpy bikinis and that Jessica will randomly show up after you ask Heather to pose for you. However, every time Heather poses for me in the ocean it just plays out like it normally would, instead of letting Jessica appear and give me that scene.

Thanks in advance!

For the Heather Jessica scene. Both have be on the beach or Jessica will be there in 30 min, per the Guide. Go download it. It will serve you well.

Today it's really hot at the beach.

Reading the Guide as others have said, will give you the fastest answer(s). However, there is the possibility that something might be unclear. I'll use your original post as an example. <I am not getting them no matter how hard I try> and <I have tried everything, but I cannot seem to make it happen>

What exactly have you tried? For example, different answers when responding to the girl during the scene, may trigger different responses and actions. Your statement(s) of trying everything doesn't tell us anything other than you're frustrated by not being able to find the correct path to complete the achievements.

For SiJa and Bantry

A Meeting with Joy.

Ah Another beautiful day on the island. Who could ask for anything more. The day started with Jessica showing up at my door asking for a battery recharge again. Why can't she buy a charger. I'm starting to see a pattern, Hmmm.



Before leaving my room to start the day teasing Yvette as I usual do if she's at Reception. She's such a sweetie. Ding. A text for Joy. "I need to see you.. Now". Huh? Joy on the Island? I don't remember scheduling anything with her? I got my Peppered Jerky delivered. Lotion, tissues..check

I reach Joy's office door and immediately hear "Come in". How does she do that? Kinda creepy. I like creepy but still.



No greeting from Joy just a firm "Please be seated". Ok? I'm feeling uneasy. Then she stared at me very cold and stated I had violated a noise policy on the island? What?? That's not in the guide? Oh I'm so gonna ask Bantry about this. She proceeded to read the complaint texts for the girls ranging from "What I heard was so scary I had to stay with Dark cause I had nightmares" "Yankee is disturbing my Heather time" "He's only doing to to torment Alice" Gee no brainer there who sent that. I had to hide my evil grin from Joy after hearing that.

The bomb is dropped. She is evicting me from the island immediately!!!

Oh Shit!!! Noooo!!! No more picking at Sija. No more listening in on Bantry's orientation classes to new guests on the island about.. the Guide. No more trying to find Dark's hidden residence on the island. NO More Faye!!! I'm SCREWED!! She pulls her phone close to her and says but... This text has reversed my decision.

I blurted out in shock. "Come again??" she hands me her phone and she says, read it. "Oh it's just Yankee he doesn't mean any harm. He's just being silly.. Faye.

It's official. I adore this woman right now . In relief I blurt out "Joy can I ask a favor" then immediately think. Shit I'm pushing now lol. I'd like to arrange a private dinner as a thank you to Faye..and a sound proof area add on to my suite for music. Bracing to get cussed at. Joy smiles and says. Dinner, arranged. Room..I'll speak with Jennifer regarding design suggestions.

Being the business women Joy is she's off to another meeting and flight out. She leaves with her back to me and says. "Say Hi to Faye for me dear"
