Ren'Py Lab Rats 2 - Reformulate [v2024.08] [Tristim/LZ_Starbuck/Trollden]

[Burt]

I enjoy the modded version more cause of the sex store and other events, the regular game yeah I am playing it and while some of it is fun, it ain't fun when you don't have your favourite girls in the game like - your gym girl, the silly dark chocolate bimbo, Kara with the accent from the coffee shop and the girl who talks weird but hella sexy.

so yeah ima just sit back and play other games and the regular lab rats and wait patiently for 49 he-he

(i also sometimes play v46 of the modded version when i really get bored with the regular lab rats, haha)

I only play the modded versions, no abuse of Vern as he has decent ideas and produced the original concept, but Vern is not the most skilled coder to be fair he admits this and tends to leave a wake of bugs that @Tristim and his team have to fix before they can even consider a mod. This is the main reason I get pissed off when impatient people keep asking when the new mod is ready as if it's an easy game to mod, which it's not. Fortunately for all of us who love this mod Tristim and his team have a thicker skin than someone like me

Can someone please help, with this issue and (if possible) give a video or a link on how to do this? Because I've encountered this error many times and I don't know what to do to fix it.

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

After initialization, but before game start.

Try switching graphics renderer by pressing SHIFT-G after start.

 

[a1fox3]

I have been away for the last 3 months and came back to try the new update that should have been v0.48.x to find out now that it wont be until v0.49.x, what happen to the bi-monthly moving to tri-monthly?

My understanding that 48 was a terrible mess and coupled with some RL events that the decision was made to just wait until 49. That said, the beta version of the mod (49.2) seems to be very stable already at this point if you want to try that until the official release of it.

I guess I will wait then because the mod is broken when trying to bump up energy for the mother it changes to some other npc after closing the window.

By the time they were ready to get to work on the mod after RL stuff, 49 was on the verge of releasing so they decided to just focus on that release instead. Also welcome back

 

[lbt]

No hurry, bros. See you next year then.

 

[bloodbus]

No hurry, bros. See you next year then.

the beta is ready, and from what I've heard, pretty stable

 

[Strec]

On the girls sheet the ovulation day and the number of children don't appear, working as intended?

The requirement settings don't apply on the pre-generated girls.

 

[Choyz]

Should we wait a month or so ?

 

[Scion]

FoolProof plan:

1. Wait 1 month.
2. Come back, check for update
3. If no update, repeat from step 1.

But asking for timelines is asinine. Not only is this a passion project instead of a patreon funded project, even if it were the latter the ETA's given are the equivalent of a drunkard tossing darts at a calendar.

 

[Choyz]

well, sorry for that....
i don't know if asking are classified as sin nowadays, jeez....

 

[Daxter250]

Should we wait a month or so ?

could be a month, maybe less. if what bloodbus is true then i would say it will be out fairly early.

although more eyes on it help find more bugs to get squashed faster, but find your tolerance of pain, my and bloodbus Idea of stable may be 1 man's this game is buggy as hell,

So the state of the game starts and runs, plays fairly stable as long as you don't want to push cheats to far. but depending on your play style, there is still lots of the game that honestly probably hasn't been hit.

a lot change under the hood for 48. and 49 was supposed to be a content updated and was probably a larger mechanical update than the previous two combined,

expect changes to interactions you have become use to because, well jen, llly, gabby, aunt are not reliably in locations they were at before, and leave it at that, that takes time to work through

you see it in vanilla as Vren adds new mechanics he doesn't always update the flow of the interactions

good god i can only imagine. i had such weird bugs in vanilla already with those relatives. especially when you hire them. i suddenly got asked my mom if her SECOND daughter could work here. xDDD

 

[Edwarf]

Well, my stockpiles of liniment, and vaseline filled socks, are ready.

Bug testers can be a help, but can also be a hindrance if they are not collated in one place as they double up on the info, which is more time-consuming to read than apply a fix. The modders in this mod use

You must be registered to see the links

and GitHub, so I am guessing as I use neither that reading here in this thread is just a double up on info and a time-consuming sinkhole. I know you were making a similar point, I am just stating my position as I have a large outsourcing coding section in my business profile so collating useful info is one of the first structures we put in place before committing to any project

The modders are using gitgud.io not github.com . There are some differences in the two.
The git system is not the greatest for bug reporting.
Github and gitgud are more designed around programmers submitting code to fix an issue. That's limited though by who can submit the code to a project and forks of the project.
Software bug reporting is better done by something like Jira.

You must be registered to see the links

or similar systems.
It's what they use for minecraft bug reports.

Discord is a horrible way to try and collect bug reporting in comparison to something like Jira.
Tools like Jira make it easier for users to see that a bug has already been reported and so can simply add to the report or confirm it is repeatable. It's part of an actual project management system. That something a lot of these developers could use.

yeah, and i hope we have some clear clue on how to triger some event....
pretty boring most of my playtime just seeing event List on the game file...
