In the LongStoryShort folder, overwrite the existing game folder with the contents of the zip file.

Let me know if this solves your issue. I was unable to reproduce your second error, but I might have already fixed it. If not, I'll be doing a new update once TTrick releases the new version.

I'm sorry, but the two *.rpy files didn't make any difference.
The first (example) error occurs when you write "sexy" for example to lil_crazy_alex, and she replies.
The second error is triggered after you meet Jenny on the beach with Joe and back home Ann contacts you.
The two errors are each "TypeError: say_arguments_callback() got an unexpected keyword argument 'retain'" and also occur in other places in the game when calling "say_arguments_callback()".
Thanks in any case for the quick response!

Would you show me screenshots of where the files are in the folder structure? I just want to make sure they went to the correct place. For example, it should look like this:


I just used these patched files on another computer that has the game and it worked for me.

 

[Friemel]

Wow, you're fast. Sorry for the delay.

 

[GetOutOfMyLab]

Wow, you're fast. Sorry for the delay.

Ah... what is say_arguments_override.rpy and .rpyc? That's not something I provide in the code. I'd try deleting those two files and see what happens.

 

[Friemel]

I caused the error myself with the text box mod!!! I'm a sucker!!! When I saw the screenshot, I thought that there was a file there whose name I had just written. Oh man, I'm sorry, then my problem has been solved. So much for not having a mod installed.
Have a nice evening!

No worries! It sounds like that mod might be for an older version of Ren'Py. In 7.7.x, which this game uses, there were some changes they made to say arguments, particularly for NVL mode, which the phone system uses. I only remember this because I had to go and do a lot of edits when I upgraded.

Either way, you did help me find a legitimate issue (because I missed one) with your first error. So this was still helpful!

Heyy ya! Sorry if being a bit picky, but do we have any update of the game?? I really love that thing and am looking forward to the next release hehe

when non-renpy dev releases new version and gooml converts that update to renpy.

I guess you're curious because you're old school that's why your avatar is called "SamualHand", right?

You want my hand for a hand job? Can't blame you, but sorry it's mine!

This is a hard one for me, I usually support the dev by buying the game in Steam but in this case the only reason I play this game is because this port and all the QoL features it add. So GetOutOfMyLab how much is you involvement with the main project?

Well, I help on his discord, Steam discussion Officer/mod, I'm an ear when he needs, scene ideas, proofreading, testing/bug reports, anything he asks me for input on stuff he's working on...

But let's start here, what QoL features in the Ren'Py port are most important to you?

 

[riichidesu]

Gallery for once? Last time I checked(granted it was long ago) there was none, in fact that how I got into game at first, usually when the game description don't capture me I just look to see if there a gallery so I can see some scenes, so I downloaded the port, played some scenes in the gallery and liked them so much that decided to give the game a go and has been a fan since.

And well this is more on the RenPy engine but playing game with URM has become so ingrained on my that is just a second nature at this time.

But hell I do love the game and will probably just buy it on steam even if I will only play the port

So, shortly after I implemented the gallery and scene replay, he did so on the official version. So those are both features available now.

Yeah, URM won't work and there's nothing like it for his engine.

Either way, if you do support him on Steam, it's not like the Ren'Py port is going away. I'll still update it.

the main QoL in renpy is its easy modability - you dont like nontrasnsparent textbox- poof, gone!, you dont like hardcoded side images/avatars - pooof, gone!, you dont like all colors of rainbow diallogue fonts - pooof gone!, you dont like any other shit that dev or other users might like - pooof, gone!.
other engines dont have it, and thats why renpy is the best avn/game engine imo.

and im not even talking about gallery, walki, urm and similar mods, as im not using it, but there are tons of players depending on it as much as blind persons depend on their walki-dogs...

That's me
I don't ever play the same games over and over again for different paths, all I ever did was pick up in the middle of some point where it diverge, use urm to change the necessary variables to land me on that path and viola! I might or might not keep a save for that too as I can go back and forth anytime I want, I hate a clusterfuck amount of saves but yea that's a me problem.

Seems TTrick may implement a built in WT now to, at least said he would think about it when I talked to him, had a small conversation when I asked him about my Patreon total, only ended up being like $8 total, but ended up giving me a Steam key without even asking, said was in a good mood.

 

[riichidesu]

Also after buying the steam version I must say that other than the main menu image(Alex looks amazing) the choices buttons UI is also better looking in the port but yeah a WT would be nice, it give you a little more sense of control knowing was a choice might do and of course saves time by allowing you to follow the path you want without the recurring backtracking
