Ren'Py Lessons in Love [v0.49.0] [Selebus]

[DeSkel15]

Surprised you did not mention Sara's key that she used to open Yuki's apartment door in the Yuki event "Small Plastic Baggies" as it's the same key.

I am sure it can be easily explained as limitations due to assets. Probably.

Actually that slipped my mind, so good catch, and it would probably make sense for Sara to have one of these "limited edition" keys considering she seems deeply linked to the supernatural stuff going on and is probably part of it:

It's likely not an asset limitation though, since there's been other kinds of keys shown:

And it wouldn't really need to be shown if it was.

These Skeleton/Open Anything keys also seem to come in a variety of colors:

Ami, HimawariCo, and Sara all having similar keys might be related:

And considering it's been established that Ami and Sara have had theirs for years, and Ami claims they are limited edition, they surely are more important than I initially thought.

I also think Ayane might have one, but she just mentioned having an Emergency Key, so who knows:

Probably going to need to pay more attention to things related to keys on my next playthrough. I feel like I'm missing a lot more mentions of stuff like this.

 

[walkerin]

nope they are gone

well that is sad..

 

[Riolol]

hi guys. anyone still have Update Only (v0.41.0 -> v0.42.0) and Update Only (v0.42.0 -> v0.43.0) links ?
I cant find them

They should all still be on Sel's subscribestar, just scroll down til you find the right ones.

Just a small bit of sarcastic "humor" (or at least I think it's funny) since we seemingly have been inundated with that line (or similar ones) recently within the storyline.

 

[Antosha]

Well, if this statement from Sel is to be believed:

Spoiler

Then everyone, Wizards included, will have H-scenes prior to the Dark Route, which is set to be in Chapter 6.

What that means is we’re in for a wild rest of Chapter 4 and Chapter 5 (Fall/Autumn) where the rest of the unlewded characters finally get dicked down. It will be fascinating to see how that all comes about…

Tsuneyo is the most recent example we have in the latest update with the Sekai intervention, who forced her to accept certain feelings and desires within herself much quicker than she otherwise would have. I would have expected Tsuneyo to be one of the last characters to have a Lust tracker in the game, and yet here we are.

Of course, now that Sel introduced time-fuckery, that could mean that 31-year-old Akira ends up having a wild foursome with 45-year-old Chinami, Tsukasa, and Nao-sama.

ETA: Just to be clear, I would be completely down with that.

managed to screw up and lost my save of before the entire Sensei-quest section, so Can't go back to all the "Invite Over" options, Can anyone share a save they have?

 

[Tanya1776]

does anyone have a full save? I havnt played in a while and i dont want to rwplay everything

 

[fdsasdf_p]

Sorry i can't upload images but at the very beginning of the game, when ami visit us in the school office, she ask for keys.
Sensei ask about if there are a spare key under the mat. Ami says someone STOLE THE KEY and they had changed the lock.
Do we know who stole the key. Or was ami lying about it and trying to get the key from sensei so she has more control of sensei's life from the start.

This feels like a subplot that was forgotten or something that wasn't meant to go anywhere. The only two people in the cast that might have the incentive to sneak in and simultaneously know this IS the place they're looking for (at that time point) are Maya and Ayane. However, Maya already had the spare key (which is acknowledged by Ami) and Ayane already had a functioning "emergency key" (which may or may not have been acknowledged by Ami). Thus, neither of them so far really demonstrate either the need of stealing a key or any proof that the stolen key is in their possession, and neither mentioned it even once. Moreover, if the culprit was Ayane, it bears very little relevance to the story if she didn't break it to Sensei well before they went through this much; like, what's that going to add now since yall are surviving apocalypses together and fucking like rabbits everywhere already?

In the case of Maya, however, one can write a spin-off about how she originally stole the key (or given by Sensei) to either keep being sneaky, or indirectly forced Ami to change the lock so that she could ask for a spare key for easier sneaky visits in the future. I called this spin-off because I have no proof and the story functions completely normal without it. It will remain that way until somehow this trivia miraculously receives endorsement from future updates.

Another goofy alternative is Himawari stealing the key so that she can check on her dad; but again, another spin-off without evidence or relevance.

Well i doubt someone can truly help me with this (for me is so random and dont know why this happened), but when i try to load old saves the game give me an error. I tried downloading it again because i was having an error trying to save news saves that said it had "memory errors" i dont remember well.
I tried loading an old save because i forgot a happy event and wanted to do it. (sometimes some old saves load weirdly loading some random moment and others load correctly. Also idk if it was for the new download but i couldnt skip all the things i already saw)

It would fuck me very hard having to replay all the game again for all the time it would consume me (read things and replace every save i had. I have 80 pages of saves...) Luckily this time i wont have to grind it all thanks to URM but it is still a pain in the ass having to do every hellish puzzle (i have saved some but idk if i have them all).

What worries me the most is do it before next update, i know i have 2 weeks but also i have very little time to play, so i would be grateful if someone knows how to fix it or if i just give up and start again rushing all the game.

Bunch of questions to help debug the problem:
1) Is the problem with all save files or just new ones?
2) Are you using any mods? If so, could you list them?
3) There were some saves shared on this thread, do those work for you? If they do, I'd just give up on your existing saves - you might need to replay some parts but it's mostly linear anyway
4) Sanity check if the saves from the thread don't work: how did you re-install the game? Did you extract it into a fresh folder?

Right, i knew i forgot to add some info.
1. It is some files, a few very old load fine (sometimes. Other times it load randomly before the save was done)
2. Yes, i use the guide mod and dark mod, also i have the packages there (every patch i do the steps to disable the drm that are at the 1st page)
3. I didnt try using any saves on the thread, looking like some work and some dont. Should i try to download and try some of them?
4. I extracted it into a new folder and deleted the old one seeing that i had those problems and with this new one i didnt have them. (the memory ones)

The first pic talks about 0.43, how should i do it for the 0.44? It should be no problem search for an only update here but i dont know how this will work with the current update (just in case im talking about that i have to put 0.42 files into the 0.44 update. I may overthink it but i dont want to mess it up)

If you want I can give you a save before triggering the happy event.
Also, I've found the better place to save to avoid those errors is just as the days changes, or when an event begins, because almost all my saves that were mid-event or on other points got bricked too.

Thx, but i dont want to bother more than im already doing, if i can fix it fine if not i will just re-start and replace everything until reach that event.
(I usually save before and after one event and sometimes if it is a chain between events, also i save when there are options and when the URM tell me there are variables. I think the happy event is from 0.43, its the one after "Rain king" and before "Kyoto". Luckily if what Zuko post about being fixed by 0.45 i will wait to see if the ones i couldnt replace by the time it is released are fixed. Also i had been able to end this update so i think i could follow the next update normally)

 

[SlidingSubject]

the one after "Rain king" and before "Kyoto"

Unless the next update ends in another cliffhanger or it blocks the way of getting the happy event, I think it can still be done after the next update. Otherwise, here's a save where the conditions for the event are met, you just have to trigger it.

You could try a slightly adjusted version of the steps in the screenshot Zuko shared:
1) Open the "Lessons in Love/game/" folder in windows explorer
2) Sort by file type
3) Move all the .rpyc files into a separate folder (as backup) - if you can't tell which files are .rpyc then google "windows how to enable file extensions in explorer"
4) Relaunch game
Basically Ren'Py games have a bunch of .rpy files that contain script/code that the game engine has to process in order to run the game. To save time in reading/processing the .rpy files over and over, the engine saves the results of its processing to .rpyc files and reuses that after the first game launch. But sometimes the .rpyc files can go out of sync with the original .rpy files. Basically this'll forcibly refresh those files

The engine has logic for detecting when files go out of sync but sometimes it gets confused so it's worth a shot

Btw if this doesn't help then I'd try a fresh install with no mods
