VN Ren'Py Pale Carnations [Ch. 4 Up 4 Public] [Mutt & Jeff]

[Bill Temple]

Hi, needy request here, how would I go about modding this game to change other character's names? I've no experience so feel free to just say if it would be too complicated for me to do, I just wanted to see if I could before jumping in

It's possible, but do you have no experience with Renpy or no experience with coding?
In Pale Carnations, the character objects other than MC are defined with string literals for names, not variables. You could edit the names in the character definitions, which would change what name is shown in the name box. That half measure would be worse than nothing at all, because when characters refer to each other in the script, the names aren't interpolated variables either. So you could rename Veronica to "Jennifer Walters", and that name would show up when she spoke, but everyone would keep calling her Veronica.

The brute force solution to that: extract the script files, edit the character defs, then do a long, laborious series of finds and replaces for the names you're editing in all the script files. Replace All wouldn't work well, because the names show up in variable and label names within the script, so you'd probably want to be selective about what gets replaced. Then next update you'd have to do that again for the new script and merge with previous edits. That's not my jam, but I don't kink shame.

Alternatively, you could write a

function to handle replacement in every 'say' statement. It's not terribly hard if you have coding experience, and if you don't, modding a pirated Renpy VN is a pretty nice way to pop your cherry. Low risk, low challenge, easily read language, looots of examples to follow.

Note: I've given no thought to what effect either of those solutions would have on the bio/stats screens either. Probably no worse effect than the name on the bio screen wouldn't match your edits, though.

You need to have Mina interested in bisexual activity by having enough appropriate choices beforehand when you with Ian, Felicia or later with Ian, Mina and Hana during these challenges.

load a save from BEFORE this update, use the cheat mod and make the bicurious stat of Mina higher than 4, and when you reach the car scene with felicia you'll get the option for it.

Back a long break and before I start Chap 4 update 3, I want to share my thoughts abit. I love this game since the beginning, not much Hgames could make me get hook on the story and characters this much(Man, I love Hina and Mina so much lol). But, right when I started Ch4 Up2, an update where Mina and Hina got alot of screentimes, I felt something stranged. The oddest things r probaly Mina and MC's personality. Like, Mina and especially MC acted so strange, much different from what I remember before Up2 was up, its the first time after months playing this game I felt something odd about MC and Mina. Probaly I was thinking too much. Just want to share this before I start the new updates. Thx for reading(Eng is not my first language so it could be hard to comprehend what im saying)

Hi, does anyone have a script or any other cheat option to unlock all the scenes and/or images in the game gallery ? On another note, I think I have a bug with the replay options (maybe due to the walkthrough mod) but the scenes I got with Hana at the apartment aren't unlocked in the menu...

Well, your choices in game matter! The differences start small, but add up soon. How the MC and Mina interact hinges on their like points, MC´s bromance points, Mina´s bi-curious score and some event decisions.

Could you maybe give an example or explain it more?

Because for me personally, and I played it all in quick succession, Mina‘s evolution feels very natural. I unfortunately don’t know in my head what happens until your current progression so I don’t want to spoil stuff.

The only thing that doesn’t really make sense, but also happens before the game, is that Mina is together with Ian while she has someone like Feli as her friend.

I think I felt odd once I got to the part where Mina and MC having a talk in the cafe or sth then proceeded to the hotel. Idk, it just that reading their conversation made me feel weird, like:"Wait, why are they talking and acting like this". Especially the hotel part, the Mc made me confused as hell, I couldnt see the old MC I knew in the current MC, Mina too. Idk, I forgot what they said since it was months ago. I'll replay to see if I still find it odd

 

[Hungnoxu]

And also since Im about to replay. How can I get both Mina and Hina as my gf? In my last walkthrough, I chose Hina to be my gf and later on in the cafe part, I had an argument with Mina then became FWB or sth. So idk if I could get both of them be my gf or only one. Thx

Quoting myself, "check Mr Bubu's walkthrough in the first post."

Just to make things clear, this is NOT an entitled answer: the game has a lot of variables to set and score points to raise in order to achieve a goal.

So, my answer is ALWAYS: check the walkthrough.

Anyway, there is no Mina girlfriend path yet: you've just messed and cheated on Hana, so be prepared for her future wrath.

If you want to have both, choose Hana's fuckbuddy path, at the moment.

hm yeah I see that. Mina goes pretty fast there. I think Mina is someone that only needs the tiniest of straws to break her back (sorry for that) and now she maybe overreacts a bit after all that Ian stuff and MC pushing exactly the right buttons. Maybe I'm reading too much into it though lol

I really dont know anything about Renpy games but is it safe to say that there are no further hidden variables/labels or anything?

Or is there a possibility that something that isn't a decision label yet will actually become one in the future, or is that not something that is possible in this engine?

I'm curious how the the Rosa threesome will impact things because you dont get to avoid it after you made the decision with Ian (and it also doesnt add to the Hana-Cheat-Counter)

This happens in many VN's.

thx but may I ask that will I miss any events or things if I choose not to make Hina my gf but a fckbuddy?

so far and afaik, no. Except a few minor dialogue changes. You dont even miss the "public kiss" which I personally would have expected as a GF exclusive thing.
