RPGM Maids & Masters [v0.19] [The Mithril Hourglass]

[hreserves]

Well, the two healers get one or two shot quite a lot. I was at L14 as well, but boosted it to 19 to stand a chance. I think the equipment suggestion is completely wrong as well. It seems to only care about the two stats of the items, and not take classes into account at all. If that is the case, this button needs to go, as it'll only end up causing headache to people.

Yeah, the Recommend button only cares about Attack (for the tool/hand slots) and Defense (for everything else). I think it does do some additional checks for 'overall point value' or something like that, but I've never found it particularly useful.

Unfortunately I can't just remove it. I'd need a plugin to do that, and plugins like that typically come with a ton of other features that I either can't or don't want to use, which makes implementing a fix for that specific thing more trouble than it's worth.
I've run into that particular issue with a few different things.

I still appreciate the feedback, though!

I can understand that, RPGM is pretty limited from what I understand

That was identified by someone else recently as well. I've added a patch to the dev notes in the OP that should resolve the issue.
I say should because I had some trouble with the .rar tripping some false positives, which made it a pain to test and might have interfered with the file, and may interfere when it's downloaded. Based on testing the fix in the dev build with another save, the fix does resolve that particular issue, though.

If it doesn't work, let me know and I'll try another fix.

didn't resolve it, still refuses to go south, wants to piss off in the house instead. damned little ponce haha

edit: i guess i shoulda saved before i let her go to fix the floors by herself. also i noticed, she's not doing anything but standing in one room and staring at the fireplace if i talk to her she says to go talk to phoebe who tells me to go south to get more wood, i leave the estate and the ponce says i'm too tired, i want to wank off in bed instead.. grrrr oh i wonder will the debug slut help?

Okay am not the smartest, whats the pattern for the colour orbs.. I cant work it out lol.

 

[WELPETONAZZP]

Two things. What does playing the first game get you in the second? and where can i find a walkthrough with the achievements listed?

Sadly no, there isn't an instance of her that'll help with this particular issue. The v2 patch should catch most issues. I did find a related issue (that's fixed for v0.11), but that fix is basically impossible to patch in for existing saves that have encountered the problem.

I can fix it manually if you give me your save, though.

In the tower Hold? They all need to be red. That's all there is to it, the rest is just fiddling with it until you get there.
The way I usually solve it is getting one orb to be red and have the others all be the same color, then flip all three non-red orbs to red.

Two things. What does playing the first game get you in the second? and where can i find a walkthrough with the achievements listed?

Playing Arrival at all and importing the save will give you anything you found during the playthrough. Completing it unlocks Melissa's alternate scene from Arrival in the main game and some alternate dialogue through the early portions of the game, and 100% completion gives you some bonus equipment and items.

Certain events in Arrival also earn affection points for Melissa, which carry over to the main game. You can also unlock the new Trophy 1 early, and Arrival is now the only (legitimate) way of getting "Trophy 0."

Okay so play a bit and must Admit as good game is, it needs a puzzle hint either in a doc or in game.
4 time an stuck on a puzzzle and Dont see a way out of the play mind maze at all.

I'm glad you like the game!

I can appreciate the puzzle struggle. Some of them aren't super easy to give hints for, though, and others either have hints built in or the only hint I could give would just be giving away the answer.
But I'm happy to help on an individual basis. Doing that helps me understand why it's difficult, which helps me make better puzzles in the future and make adjustments to existing puzzles if necessary.

The mind maze (I think, anyway) is a good example of that. It's less of a puzzle and more that it's the first time you need to use the 'cancel for a hidden choice' mechanic. The puzzle portion of it is deliberately obtuse as possible, because it leads to a trophy (and the trophy serves as an alternate way of getting through if you get it first). There's more info on that mechanic in the README.

If there are any others you either are or were stuck on, feel free to let me know. I'd be happy to help, and I always like feedback.

i think i need sum help please, iam stuck on the quest to go to the next estate (go road north) but i cant enter the road xD

That shouldn't be happening. Those transfers check for whether or not Phoebe is in your party, so you should be able to get to the road without any issue. Through normal progression, you should have Phoebe in your party when you do the second half of floor repairs in the deep wilds, before the Extermination fight.

Unless you have the issue of having added Scrap Wood to your inventory using a cheat engine/save mod to get through floor repairs and broke the quest sequence. If that happened, I unfortunately can't really help; you'll need to go back to an earlier save. I don't like accusing people of cheating, but this specific issue has become fairly common in the thread.

I am happy to report that 0.10 runs on the Steam Deck with Proton Experimental (GE-Proton also works but displays the title bar). Remote play was definitely a work-around; nothing beats running a game on a local device.

I'm excited to go through the game again.

Fantastic to hear! I was worried some of the plugins might cause bugs or conflicts.

Now if only I could get some feedback on the Mac version.

Sorry for the trouble. I'm happy to help, but I've never encountered an issue like that myself, and I don't remember it being reported before, so I need more information.

Which platform, Windows or Mac? Or are you trying to launch the game on a mobile device?
Is it asking for a specific file, or is it giving you a more generic "file not found" error?

i am sorry where do i get the maid dresses from?

 

[watschu99]

I cannot even get past the first day. Melissa says we should rest, but if i click on the bed it says talk to her. An endless cycle

It depends on which dresses you mean and what you need them for, but for the most part, all of the equipment items are eventually added to the shop, and there are a few hidden around in the wilds or in Holds that you can get before they're added.

Unless you're asking how to get the dresses you've purchased. In that case, there'll be a stand in Emily's shop that displays a dress if you have any to pick up. If it's just the 'blank' stand, more will be delivered based on what Contracts you own once you've progressed through the story enough to make time pass.

That doesn't sound like it should be happening. Sorry for the trouble.

If you just finished the Day 1 conversation and the screen is tinted to be sunset-y, the only thing interacting with the bed ever does is start the next event. If you haven't gotten that far yet, your current objective should be to interact with the letter on the desk in the study. If you get lost, Task List in the menu will generally tell you what to do.

If none of that helps or makes any sense, I'm not sure where the error is, but I'm happy to help if you can provide either your save or more information.

I just started the game and now it has succesfully portet the save from Arrival to the Base Game. Apparently all that was needed was a save in the savegame after the transfer for it to work properly. I don't know whether that is intended or not but in summary: After transfering the save from Arrival, play that save, then save and restart and then it seems to work
