I tried to play the game with your own over ride and it works a little better: the game no longer crashes at launch and I'm able to to watch the scenes in the gallery. As for the game itself, it crashes when I click to new game. And when I load a save, it's okay if it's in the middle of a scene but when I get to the free roam mode, it doesn't crash only when using the phone to reply to messages.
Anyway, I'm grateful for your efforts :HideThePain:
If you can, then post a traceback here. That is incredibly strange, never seen that happen before.

The only thing I can recommend right now is to completely reinstall the game. wipe your saves and start fresh. That seems like a bigger issue in my opinion, as this mod would not conflict with those things from what I have seen in the script files. Even Shawn himself said so.

Just to make sure you do the "shawn_labels" in the mod folder right? anf the mod folder is in the "game" folder?

should look like this

Thanks for mod, much appreciated. I have a problem tho. Just started the game, and in the dialog boxes I get an error:

couldn't find file mod\gui\testbox.png

Any thoughts? Cheat mod and all that seems to work.

Hey, I got an error when I tried to start a new game.

Here's the log:

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

I already make sure the mod is already in correct path: gamefolder/game/mod
But still got that error.

Use this dude's file to replace Shawn Overrides.rpyc, it works for me.
fix

When I put your mod in the game file and I run the game, it does this:

And when I have the shawn override that Calverus uploaded in the former page instead of your mod, it does as I've said (it doesn't crashes at launch, but it does when I try to start a new game.

Is this compatible with v1.0f Extra?
I'm using the mod (as downloaded from the first post of the thread just before Christmas) on 1.0f Extra without any issues. Not using the fixed Shawn_Overrides.rpy posted by Shawnchapp above, or the fixed Shawn_Overrides.rpyc posted by Calverus almost a week ago, either. Got no script errors at start up, or missing text box issue. And I also have the elite content and scripts from 1.0 Elite installed as well, so I'm technically using the mod on 1.0f Elite.

On the topic of v1.0f with this mod, I have noticed that there are no scenes under 'Elite Scenes'.

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

This is on a fresh install, no previous playing experience. Is it a bug or does the game need to be played before it becomes unlocked?

If you want the Elite scene, you have to download the Elite version, which is not in 1.0f.
The 1.0f is extra version without Elite scene, which is non canon.

Also, it seems you have the "Gallery Locked" switch ON at the top left-hand corner of the gallery..
Switch it to OFF.
