thanks for the demos Although the error was different, and varied a bit between the saves I tried, like polycentric none of my existing saves would work. Had to use one of the saves you linked on the first page. But no matter, a fresh play though will be next anyway. If you want one or more of my old saves to investigate, let me know.

Just in case I forgot an important step in the install instructions, here's the patch process in a little more detail:
  • added Chap19.rpa to Midlife Crisis\game, used UnRen option 1
  • applied Mod v11 afterwards by merging mod's game folder with Midlife Crisis's game folder
  • OR added Mod's version19.rpy directly into Midlife Crisis\game (since all previous modded scripts are already there)
  • tried loading a save at or prior to "Jennifer: Look out you fool!!!" in v0.18
In my tests just adding Chap19.rpa and the modded version19.rpy script to \game also worked (we don't need the updated scripts.rpa since the mod supplies version19's script.)

Of course adding the entire content of the update patch (Chap19.rpa and scripts.rpa) and using UnRen option 1 also works, if you apply mod v11 afterwards.

As long as Chap19.rpa (or the images it contains, via UnRen) and mod's version19.rpy are added to an existing Midlife Crisis v0.18 install everything should work out (... but since it apparently didn't, I hope you don't mind using the provided saves until we figure out why :p).

Sure, I'll try and take a look at those saves, especially the one(s) that got a different exception than
Code:
While running game code:
  File "renpy/common/00action_file.rpy", line 441, in __call__
    renpy.load(fn)
Exception: Couldn't find a place to stop rolling back. Perhaps the script changed in an incompatible way?
when trying to load them.

Well this is odd. After using and saving a few times with the saves you posted, I moved my old saves into the game folder and tried reloading them to find a different error, and this time some them worked.

But the ones that didn't work were a match for the error that polycentric got. So only the one error that they got.

But I've attached my save files anyway.

Went all the way back to a save at the sex scene with Jennifer in the canoe. Started it up, played through OK until the scene with Tracy in the Chapter 18 scene with Tracy in the coffee house. It errored at the 'more than friends' option (paraphrasing from memory) but I was able to 'ignore' past it and made it all the way to the end of the Chapter 19 content.

This mod works perfectly. If there is a problem with your modded game, you probably did something wrong.

Started a new game at version 19 of game using latest MOD. Keep getting Error when I load a game save. Having to go to a previous save a replay a long way to get back to where I should be,

For those who had trouble with UnRen / update patches / etc:

here's the mod as a single scripts.rpa archive. Drop it into Midlife Crisis\game and overwrite when asked (back up scripts.rpa before, just in case). I'll test it some more after work, but my quick tests with standalone v0.19 and update patched v0.18 -> v0.19 both worked.

This means you won't have to use UnRen anymore (no need to extract rpa archives or add/remove files manually). Let me know if it works for you. If people prefer this, I'll use rpa archives for my mod in the future (or make it an option at least).

There is no cheat
No green choices either. What am I missing. Playing this game for first time.
Flavour choices that just change a few lines of dialogue are up to you. The first major choice is this one.

No image found, not a single one.
The compressed version had some issues at first that have since been fixed. If you used the update patch, make sure Chap19.rpa is in your game folder. It contains all the new images for v0.19. You could try my attached scripts.rpa to streamline the patch/modding process.
-> Apply update patch (scripts.rpa and Chap19.rpa) then overwrite scripts.rpa with the modded one.

@ loading issues: still looking into it, not much progress so far (as in, it always works for my test saves :p)

I'm getting real fucking tired of having to start a new game every time a new version of the game and the mod comes out. Can you please fix this shit.

I'm getting real fucking thankful that someone takes some of it's time to make the mod each time a new version of the game comes out even if he has to work with the code of someone else. this mod is the icing on the cake.

I understand if my post came across as a bit agressive, i AM greatful that the guy takes the time to make the mod so no argue from me there. It's just that i get frustrated as hell when i download a new version of the game/mod and get slapped with some effing error message when i try to load my latest save. It's been this way for several updates now, i don't know if i'm doing anything wrong or whatever but hopefully in posting the error message i'm getting someone can shed more light on this.

No problem mate (or gal or whatever) i can understand where you come from. Just wanted to make a point that he does it for free and he has to work with what he can.
