In my last note, I promised to report how I made out. First I put my arms around Heather. Then I pecked her on the cheek. Before you know it, I got to first base.
Oh wait, you meant my other topic. I am happy to report that I played a couple of days from the old save and everything seems to be ok. I could have also done what Bazamanfoo suggested. In my stuck save, I just passed time in half hour increments until the hourglass appeared. Before I knew it, it was a new day. Yes it was. I was super tired and hungry, but game did let me take naps this time. Now we all know what to do if this happens again.
In future installments of my series, I will be discussing meteorology and sexism on Holiday Island. Stay tuned to this station.

Haha, very funny comment
Feel free to translate it, no one is stopping you. There won't be an official translations to any other language.
Yes, I've done both, but still cannot trigger it, I'm running out of options :/
Bug report: if you go to sleep at 2:30 or later, f ou got an appointment for the next for example with Jenifer, you will receive a message that you missed the appointment
EDIT: haven't seen the .2 update, Fixed. Thanks

I don't know.

You are suggesting something like M: 1 of 17 visible in the phone? Meaning you have collected 1 of 17 possible images, with 17 of 17 telling you are done. I can see the user value in that, but am not sure it is a good idea. As this is already one of the slowest things in the game maybe it is not a great idea to add more things to do to it. But I have no idea of the code behind it. Maybe Darkhound thinks it is easy

Since what's behind is just a collection of single images, the benefit would be really small.You are suggesting something like M: 1 of 17 visible in the phone?

From a performance perspective, it shouldn't be much of a problem, since it's not the code that's the problem, but the buffering of all the images. With the latest update to 0.2.3, the loading time for the achievment page has almost been cut in half compared to how it was before.
Maybe when I'm really bored, I will add something to show the numbers, but it's definitely not a priority on my list.
Just out of curiosity, how long does it take for an average girl's achievement page to load in your pc?
On mine it's definitely less than a second now. For Amy and Yvette, it's maybe a little more than 1 second, but not much.
In older versions, loading time was about 50% to 100% higher and in addition, now once you can see the images on the ui, it's also responding to input. In older version it took another 1 or 2 seconds after loading until it became responsive again.
What would be interesting to know for me too, would be how Amy's "event page" loads. Is it any better/faster?
Because for her events, additional small preview images are added to the game, so the interface doesn't have to load the high res images any more.
I stopped working on that idea, since on my system, the performance improvement is so small, that it's not worth the effort.
Unfortunately I haven't found a way to measure the duration for building a screen in renpy.

Load the character, load the possible images, check against each if seen...You are suggesting something like M: 1 of 17 visible in the phone?

Nope. Not easy.
EDIT - Yeah, too late. Trying to save DH some thought process because I want the lab more than a faster phone screen
On my laptop viewing Amy takes about 4 seconds in 232. About half of that is task unresponsive time on W10. Optical measurement that, nothing more advanced. I admit I have an oldish laptop with 4GB main and 2GB GPU memory. I am running in 1280x720 and have never seen any graphics problems.
Completely agree with that. I am prepared to live with a lot slower phone when we get some new stuff. But again, Darkhound has already concluded that himself even before we did.Load the character, load the possible images, check against each if seen...
Nope. Not easy.

No, hacking this.
You need to hack a girl's subdermal implant 3 times to have access to all the information. Affection, love, anger, location, etc.

One of the Apps on the main screen of your phone is for hacking. It will take you to a screen with the three icons that I posted above. Mouse over them to learn what each does. One will provide a list of girl's implants that you can hack. You my have to complete some quests for the doctor if none show. Talk to the doctor about how they monitor the implants to be given the quests.
