Ren'Py Lessons in Love [v0.43.0] [Selebus]

[Algorist]

LOL, got my saves erased. But I've already recovered them, literally 10 min inconvenience. Oh well.

 

[Algorist]

Going to have to check for stuff on releases from now on. Shouldn't be trusting releases here any more.

It sends 4 hidden ids from the files: 'game/gui/main_menufeb2023.png', 'game/gui/main_menujan2023.png', 'game/gui/main_menuextra1.png', 'game/gui/game_menumollydec2022.png'
to his server at:

Yeah

It looks like they're embedding the lilgame.com user id of whoever downloads the care packages from the site into the menu images before zipping them and delivering them to the user.

The script then sends these id's back to the server, and if they get more than one submission of that id from multiple IPs, the server tells the game to schwack you (http code 402, 'payment required')

It looks like they only started implementing this before January's as the first two menu image id's should have been the same, given the first two care packages leaked here originally came from the same person, but the id's are blank in the first two files

Interesting, though i guess since a bunch of people got the ID flagged it means darkdaemonx has been flagged and probably booted from the site so guess that means the care package enthusiasts are going to be put out until someone else starts leaking and i'm guessing scrubbing the metadata will still get your saves scrubbed if you don't use the replacement gui.rpy file right?

Ideally you would remove the part where they check for the ID, I don't know what kinds of error we would get if the ID is just not there. Removing the metadata would be safer for the leaker tho.

ok I was bitching about having another set of dumbass reset questions just not too long ago, but I'm glad I could've been more mistaken this time

The problem with DRM is that it's always going to be harder to make than it is to break. I'm just one guy with a full time job, and while I find this fun, it's not my big side project. Woe is me. If I really need to there's ways to make it more secure, but that would take away some functionality from the game (e.g. encode the scripts which would suck for the lore hunters). Renpy is not designed to be secure.

You did a great job, man. Absolutely brilliant. Was not expecting to find it where I did at all

I also hope you're getting paid for this. I assume this isn't going to stop so I look forward to the next bout

Is it an issue that I'm excited for v0.30 for looking at code now? makes me feel like a bigger nerd now

 

[barglenarglezous]

Me prior to this update: "Otoha ain't ugly or anything, but I don't see why Rin's so obsessed with her.

Spoiler: Me after the update: "Oh, I get it now"

This version of Otoha does something for me that the previous version did not.

....and this is why I don't date.

I haven't played since 0.26, but I'm still looking at the updates. I came back and downloaded it just to mess with its code when I saw the issue.

Well, seems Selly discarded the pretense and so we have 'word of god' confirmation of what year the girls are in and thus their ages, 14 to 15. I know in odd cases you can get 13 or 16 but if that applies then statistically it can only be 1 maaaaybe 2 of the students. Good to know though it was already pretty much assumed.

 

[TheLarceny]

Okay guys
So whats going up with DRM?
Can someone give me a little summery?

You only have to worry about it if you installed the leaked care packages.

And all you have to do to bypass it is to either delete the code block starting at line 418 in gui.rpy, or to replace the one in your game directory with this one. Make sure to rename it to gui.rpy after you download.

Otherwise all your saves and the script.rpy file will get deleted.

It's always been clear that they're first-year high school students, but that's in the Japanese school system, where there's only 3 years of high school, so they're age-equivalent to US Sophomores, or 15-16.

Okay, I'm stuck unlocking the last Otoha event. Getting filler at the dorms and the park, anyone figure it out yet?

 

[probiermich123]

this is so stupid now. i actually am done with the game now and was a sub. too bad a good idea became shit because the dev is a tool.

 

[Maldonny]

Is anyone else having problems trying to save using JoiPlay in this new version?
I am getting the below error whenever I try to save

i got it to work at night time on the weekend, specifically sunday. You need to go to the second floor dorm and it should auto trigger.

 

[Rholeaf]

Im a dumb fuck and stuck on the reset questions. Can some one tell me where yumi had her first knockout take place?

Skill issue

the last update just shows that Sel spends more time on this "war" than on the quality of the game and it is only getting worse. the puzzle was annoying and nothing else, there are more mistakes and bugs in this update than in the last 6 put together, the story is getting worse, the characters are getting more shallow and the story is more rushed as this goes on, etc.
this had the potential to be one of the best vn out there. now it is just stupid.
