So basically being marked as a cheater doesn't do anything at the moment?
No, there's different cheater marks and different punishments. There's a generic cheater flag for using any of the stat modifying cheats and it punishes you at the start of chapter 3 or something by wiping all of your affection scores, setting a punished flag and preventing you from using the stat modifying cheats.
If you went to the reset that has the upside down bedroom and answered all the questions without seeing the happy event that had some of the answers in it, you would have reached the point where the two angels are talking to you, and then happy ami comes to insult you and close your game, hopefully you had a older save to fix it.
I'm assuming the next reset has a similar check and it would urge you to see the happy event that you just saw. Because I don't want to back and quote it, I believe youdidit appeared in previous happy events but didn't have a speaking role yet
That's the thing. I have to go out of my way to read god knows how much text before I know exactly how protected I have to be. The disable drm thing doesn't properly explain much, I don't know if it's been updated, I don't know what files to put in etc. Now what I do know however is that if it ONLY apply to the game folder the care packages are in at the moment, I should be 100% safe, both because it should already be saving in user data somewhere but also because the care packages are on a separate folder standalone from the one that doesn't have the care packages installed. Also I have a copy of the save folder in my pc's trash can that's half a day of gameplay old. I'm debating going the extra mile by putting it on a usb stick. But honestly I wouldn't have to do anything if the information surrounding the care packages here was properly updated for dummies. I dunno, I'm just kinda pissed having walked in several circles with far too many unknowns. I never did put the disable drm thing on the folder hosting the care packages btw. That folder also has urm installed.
It hasn't been updated nor had other people explain it properly cause few people were smart enough to figure out what happened. The drm is hidden within a image file of the dorms, and gui.rpy has a call to the file presumably to check it. The patched gui.rpy just deletes the call. I'm not sure if gui.rpy is updated often, I warn people using it to repatch every update but it gui.rpy updated in any meaningful way surely something would break from a file that's several years out of date.
I don't know if it's a specific moment that calls the drm, some other people have mentioned it'd happen when the game queries to load care packages but I feel you would have already been bitten by that.
I wouldn't call your saves safe just cause you had a separate install. renpy makes a backup of saves based on project name in appdata, and propogates later save changes to the other location. If the drm got you on your care package install, and then you load your main game without purging the corrupt saves in theory they'd overwrite the good copy of your saves.
separate USB disk is hella overkill, there's only so much fuck selebus and whoever he outsourced the DRM to have to find your saves. I'd say a backup of your saves folder outside of your LIL folder is secure enough. (though I just read the scripts for the care packages to avoid the issue entirely, though I guess I don't get to listen to memories.mp3 with the stray cat commentary like that)
Hell you said you have a save 'backup' that's only half a day old. You could probably just load that save at worst case and just leave unseen text skip off, then skip what text you have seen until something new comes up. Would only take a couple minutes like that.
