Mod Ren'Py My Early Life - Hint-System & Bugfixing [v1.11c & v1.6][Minnimix]

[Minnimix]

ok first check version 11.04 to 11.05

- most bug fixing , but not all ... and found some new ones that weren't in 11.04
- event change ... e.g. 11.04 take no photo to set done ...11.05. take a photo to set done etc.

So ..it's is a kind of work to bring the "bugfixing" and the "walkthrough" to version 11.05 - EP1-11

-

But first I will finish the work on Ep15 and then rework ep1-11

In Episode 2 after you have buyed the earrings for Eve and go to the pool at 12 hour you have a loop to buy again the earrings.

The hint aso don`t vanish after you have buyed it all time is the hint to go to the pool at 12 hour you taken these bug in Chapter 3.

Aso this bug is when you try to talk to Eve in Chapter 1 (look traceback, Ignored the bug).

I wunder when it is a bugfixed version why this bugs aren`t fixed?

yepp you are right ... i've look in this and yes , if u talk 10 times to eve , u can buy the earing .. if u talk again to her ..it loop's

need to change

"if eve_earrings >= 10:"

in

"if eve_earrings >= 10 and eve_earrings_bought != 1"

thank mate.

they are not fixed ... cause nobody found them, or tell them to me. In normal story you do not need to talk to eve again, so normal game play will not detect this bug.

Hey,
First of all I want to say this is a great mod and I truly appreciate the work and effort you put into it.

Unfortunately I've been having some trouble with it.

I installed it around the end of ep1 when the ingame help was no longer showing anything to me and I still have a few bookmarks left. For a good while it worked perfectly, but after reaching ep5 something happened. After the talk at the dinner table event (literally the first event of the ep) I got a black screen with the UI showing. It didn't respond to clicks or anything, but after trying ctrl I managed to get through. The think is, that I didn't notice right at that moment is this action somehow put me into ep6 entirely skipping ep5. This was weird to say the least but honestly I'm not sure if this is due to the mod or some weird bug the game already has (wouldn't be surprised if it was the later)

Anyways, as my last save was a long long time ago (probably at the end of ep1 when I installed the mod) I decided to try and start the game over. That is when I started having issues. Right at the beginning I was getting a ton of errors. I attach some examples.

And a lot more. Either way, the thing is, starting up a new game with the mod seems to be completely broken atm. I'll go and try getting to the point where I was when I originally installed the mod, and see if it behaves the way it did before. (Meaning that no actual issues through the end of ep1 through ep4)

EDIT: Can confirm. Once installed later, the bugs no longer appear, so there is some issue right at the start.

Those errors are most likely due to the fact that the version of the game you are running is V11.05 (recent update) and the mod was made for V11.04 and hasn't been updated yet.

Yeah, that would make sense. Honestly, I only just got into the game so I didn't realize/didn't think that the dev would put out an update for the older episodes.

 

[Dole]

The bugfixed version is very buggy I wunder why so much people found not the bugs or have trouble with your version. Have they cheated all time to the next chapter?

1) It would be nice when you can remove that you can read the book of self defence endless. When you only need to read it once that the option after it vanish.

2) Episode 7 Help Lynn with her Homework and that she sleep in your bedroom 3/3. It looks for me when you manipulate the dice to early that you block the "normal" homework and switch to early to the "cheated dice" homework that aso blocks the last sleep in your bedroom with lynn 3/3 (I think he check if you have done all homework) - game breaking

3) Episode 7&8 Lina 18 hour in Bobs room when you offer to low she go away and you have the went go away message from Lynn and not from Lina !!!

4) Episode 8 1) Lynn kitchen 25$ for handjob wrong - 50$ right, 2) Lynn kitchen 50$ for handjob wrong - 25$ right, 3) Lynn kitchen 50$ for handjob wrong - 200$ right, this event goes crazy and buged when you meet the girls before at dinner at 19 hour after this the price from the hint change !!! (so I can`t say if the price is correct) - game breaking (the event is not possible to end correct anymore so you are stuck in a endless loop)

5) Episode 9 1) It was not possible to clean the room from Lina and Lynn and a event in Eves room at 22:30 hour is open. It looks that the cleaning blocks Eves Event.. - game breaking

Skiped because game breaking from 7-8, 8-9, 9-10

 

[womarazi]

i'm not sure if this is a bug of the mod or the main game, but ep13 quest 32 shows "see lynn at breakfast at 10"
but that doesn't happen, so i went and checked the event list in console (EVENTS variable)
turns out event 32 is set to trigger at 18:30, but the game advances time in slots of 1h.
so i had to manually set it to 18 and worked.

also i'm posting a small guide for users stuck at some point to figure out what to do, requiring universal renpy mod (URM):
1) open console (shift+o)
2) write "list(x.Done == False and x.IsAvailable for x in EVENTS).index(True)" (without quotes, look at output number, that is event location)
3) open URM (alt+m) search for variable EVENTS click on the list, navigate with arrows until you find the correct event location
4) click it and see what you have to do to trigger the event, or change the conditions to enable it.

if you are stuck harder and have no available events remove x.IsAvailable in the condition, this can work as a sort of manual mod to progress on chapters not yet covered by mods (through i would wait to avoid the bother).
good job on the mod btw!

Thanks for this info.

to 1, i don't think that's a bug, nobody says that you should read the self-defense book over and over again. But that's not a bug, that's "sandbox" gaming

Then I would also have to prevent Bob from doing many things that he could otherwise do! Buying chips, going to the cafe, many actions can be done several times and pointlessly, hence the idea of the walkthrough mod to avoid doing everything twice and three times.
I can't remember that the mod says read the self defense book ... ever and ever again.

to 2, ok i will check this

to 3, you have to understand that i do not change any original data with the mod, i.e. i copy each event and “replace” it within the mod with the original.
There are many more spelling mistakes, but I didn't want to change everything because of these “little things”.
I'll have a look, but if the event is otherwise “bug-free” then I won't change it with my mod!
These are not "bugs" for me.

to 4, yes you are right about the sum, unfortunately I haven't found a solution yet, but Bob has designed the events in such a way that the "real" price is adjusted in the course of the event, and therefore of course is not displayed "cleanly" in the walkthrough, or cannot be displayed correct.

I have an idea that I still have to implement, but I haven't managed it yet!

to 5. i will look into this


ok for your understanding, i do this mod for free and in my spare time. I have tested all the episodes, and followed the instructions as they come.

But I can't test everything if the player clicks on events differently beforehand or does things that I didn't plan for in the walkthrough.
The game is too complex for that and there are too many possibilities.

You are welcome to do this and report any mistakes you find, I promise I will fix them!

But you really are the first person to report something

I think I am not the first that try you mod and I wrote before I wunder why this bugs not found before me because normal you can say I play it really late.

The older games from him shows that it looks like a sandbox game and in real it is not. So you must act like in the walkthrough and when not the mod don`t help because you are stuck (like here in some Chapters). I played the 11.04 so I can`t say if this is fixed in 11.05. The problem are dead ends when it is not well programed.

3) When I remember correct Is not a spelling mistake it is that you see the wrong answer/pics because the bikini changed.

4) In my eyes you must implement a warning that visit the girls in dining room can mess Lynn Kitchen event. Like don`t enter dining room anymore. If this bug is solved in 11.05 I can`t say. Visit the girls raise the affection and in this case buged it the complete game with a game breaking bug.

At the moment I am in Chapter 13 and I have the bug womarazi wrote above.


Because I know his older games I download your mod in the hope with a bugfixed version to came around from the perfect walkthrough and have a real sandbox game. I don`t know if this game is a real sandbox game then his games before was not.

good job on the mod btw!

sorry dude,

i've look into this ...but cant find any error.
for me it's all fine --- and cant find any code set the event to 18:30 ?!



i've played complete episode 13 and ... it's work well.

View attachment 5063169

i've played complete episode 13 and ... it's work well.

this is very weird because i re-downloaded the game just to make sure i didn't mess up any file, and the bug was still there.
i noticed some events can change the description and status of other events, maybe i triggered the events in some order that my savefile had events changed in a buggy way?
i also have lynn icon and tooltip there at 10 but the room is empty, both weekday and weekends.
i went a bit ahead after my manual fix and found also a second event scheduled for 30min (ch15).
maybe if you search any code that sets minutes to 30 you will find them, or if you don't maybe insert a fallback that checks if any time is invalid and reset minutes to 0?
if you want i have a savefile.

 

[Minnimix]

found it, sorry my mistake.

ep12 has an error in event32 ... it is set to 21:00 in orginal and bob is preparing the dinner , then the game jumps to 19:00 back in time to the dinner !

So i fixed it and set a if loop to set it to 18:30 ... if event32.hour is 21
but i forgot that renpy “ignores” a set statement after an if query in a screen-label and ALWAYS sets the variable

i will fix this in version 1.5 for EP12-15 , the version is ready but not yet fully tested, and has an error in "next event"" info.

also new in version 1.5 is that the walkthrough info remains on the screen and only disappears when you press h.
this will also be included in ep01-11, then the information about how much you should bid for the girls should be correct again!

 

[Minnimix]

mod version 1.5 done

start fixing mod 1.1 for EP1-11

 

[Minnimix]

A little info on the current update status for version 11.05

Bob has changed a many things in 11.05...unfortunately, he hardly fixed any bugs, but he improved a lot of text and just colored Bob's "think" section.

He has taken on board some of the bugs I sent him, unfortunately, only a handful.

So, there are still about 100 "events" that have bugs, and I'm "replacing" them with my corrected ones. However, I'm now also implementing the typo corrections and color improvements in my bug-free events.

Of course, with about 100 events still left, this is a bit of work, but half of them are finished, meaning EP1-EP4 are done.
EP5-9 are still missing... EP10 and EP11 are bug-free, which could be because I was still on Bob's "alpha team" for those two versions...unfortunately, I was banned without any explanation or information.

Personally, I have to say I'm very disappointed!

I invested a lot of time into it and went through all the bugs I found with Bob personally in the chat, and almost none of that work was incorporated... I personally find it incomprehensible.

Attached is a very, very short excerpt from the chat with Bob, where I told him what was wrong.

So, to sum it up:

I'm going to update the mod for version 11.05, and if Bob releases another "patch" for EP1-EP11 in the next 10 years, he's welcome to do so. However, I'm not going to do the work and will only update my mod for version 11.05.

I've stopped "playing" at episode 15 and am considering whether to continue.

So, mod 1.1 for 11.05 will take about another 1-2 weeks, but it's definitely coming.

 

[Minnimix]

Not even the simplest bugs have been fixed.

Time in script: 14:00 PM or 14:30 PM ... info for user ... 13:00 PM
Location: Lingerie and Beach ... info for user boutique

So it's still probably the most buggy game out there, and the developer is unable to change that.




Sorry, but I'm a little annoyed that I invested so much time and went through everything with Bob, and nothing has changed.

I just need to get this off my chest somewhere.

 

[womarazi]

you did great, those games would be unplayable without a mod or checking event data manually.
thank you!

 

[lewdlew]

Would you be able to release what is completed as Alpha/Beta? Rather than release when all episode is done. Thank you

 

[Minnimix]

Would you be able to release what is completed as Alpha/Beta? Rather than release when all episode is done. Thank you

i've all episodes done ... still some bugfixes with some subroutines, so i've bring up the final version this week

 

[Minnimix]

ok, it's done.

Episode 1 to 11 is completely reworked and should run flawlessly, I hope !

Besides the changes and a few additional bug fxes, I have adapted the interface to my current mod.

The hints for the girls are gone , they are replaced by "click to change), this also applies to a few other things. I also found the “grind” too annoying, so this solution, I hope you like it !



- the hints are now always visible, unless you press H to hide the interface

- color highlighting of selection options
