VN Ren'Py Ravager [v5.3.0] [4MinuteWarning]

[Kal995]

For people having issues with the DRM what worked for me was installing the fix from https://f95zone.to/threads/ravager-v5-2-1-4minutewarning.26476/post-11157660 and running the program via the command line as START lib\py3-windows-x86_64\pythonw.exe Ravager.py . The cmd files are likely equivalent to the second step.

It's awesome that several people have worked so hard to avoid the DRM. If that works for you, then that's great, but I want to point out there's another option that requires no help from anyone else, should those not work for you. Just build or launch a clean copy using the RenPy SDK. The DRM is in the launcher and one of the library files. It's easy to avoid it by just using the SDK. This works thanks to the clever design of RenPy itself. This works for any platform that RenPy supports.

NOTE: Steps 1-5 only need to be done the first time. In the future, just select the existing Ravager project and follow steps 6 onwards. These are also the same steps you'd use to build any RenPy game for a platform the developer doesn't distribute (for example to make a Windows only RenPy game for your Mac). It's worth saying that this bypasses DRM for Ravager, but wouldn't bypass DRM on other games that use modified files within the game folder itself.

1. Launch the RenPy SDK you downloaded from
   You must be registered to see the links
   , click Create a New Project.
2. Click Continue and then enter a name for the project for the files on your local machine.
3. Choose any default game resolution, it doesn't matter as this is going to be overwritten by the game files themselves in a later step.
4. Choose any accent colors. It also doesn't matter.
5. The new project will be created and you'll be taken back to the main project management screen.
6. Under the Open Directory section of the Ravager project, click on the word "game" This will open the local game folder for this project.
7. Inside this local game folder there will be a bunch of existing files. Delete all of the files inside the game folder (but not the game folder itself) and leave this window open.
8. If you haven't done so already, download the latest uncracked copy of Ravager and decompress it and open the Ravager folder so you can see the game folder, and double click on that game folder to see all of the files that make up the game itself.
9. Copy the files inside the Ravager game folder into the now empty local project game folder.
10. Go back into the running SDK. Now, if you want to test the game or if you don't mind running Ravager through the SDK every time, click Launch Project. The game will run like normal, sans DRM. I recommend skipping this step and building a stand-alone distribution following step 11 onwards. If you don't want to build it, you can stop here and keep launching the game via the SDK.
11. Under the Actions section, click Build Distributions.
12. In the Build Packages section of this screen, select only the platform you want to build Ravager for, PC, Mac, Linux or the Markets version. Don't select more than one, since this copy is only for your personal use, don't waste time building for unneeded distributions. You don't need to change any of the other options on this screen, unless you know what you are doing.
13. Click Build. The build process will take a few minutes, depending on the speed of your personal machine.
14. When done, the RenPy SDK will open a folder containing a zip file for every distribution platform you've chosen in step 12. If you followed my directions, that will only be one.
15. Unzip the newly built copy of the game and move it to wherever you prefer to normally run the game from. Launch the game like normal.
16. Ravager will work just fine, without the DRM. In the future, when a new update is released, you can follow steps 6 onwards to build a new version. Note that your saves are stored elsewhere on your machine, so replacing the app or running it from the SDK won't affect your saves.

Enjoy.

until this game has a downloadable cracked version im done with this game
just dont have the time or patience to be fucking around with shit i used every single drm remover on the site here
and game wouldnt load seems retarded the game just dont come pre-cracked 98% of other games do
if that day never comes then thats fine too

 

[INquiop]

Is there a way to be on good terms with the wolf girl cause i just keep getting her to be all depressed or hate her situation and crave drugs

 

[Leo D. Marstone]

I’ll aim to have some progress on this track in each monthly update, big or small, until it is done. Then we’re going to begin work on our final segment, Act V Chapter Three.

"Final Segment"

I do remember a discussion about this last year on here.

If someone is wondering no the game is not finished after Act V. It will just transition to a 2nd Chapter which might take another 6 years until the game is truly finished.

No matter the wording or mental gymnastics you could do but the game is not finished after the "final segment".

So keep in mind that Act V will have an open ending of some sort and will lack any form of closure. To anyone who thought that after 6 years of development the game would be finished....tough luck xD

Doubt the plans changed for that and if I am misinformed you are free to correct me.

Edit: I did went back and searched for it. You just need to read this post: https://f95zone.to/threads/ravager-v5-2-1-4minutewarning.26476/post-14721009

This game pisses me off for a single reason.
The portraits and the Sex CG are so different some times the same character can look completelly different, The portraits are so cute, and hot and full of personality in my opinion, i wish the artist that drew the portraits also did the CG it would make me far happier, The game is excellent if you remove that caviat, thing is, you simply can't ignore the porn scenes in a porn game...very sad.

Literally this. It is my biggest point of critique as well.

I mean no flak against the artist who draws the sex CGs but you can't deny that these two artstyles just clashes with each other.

If you empower Infernals and lose the attack on Pale Rock

I've searched for gold and found it:

Only it wasn't as you described. In fact, after a few attempts I concluded that is impossible to lose at Pale Rock. Though it is definitely possible to make our Bad Dragon lose his chocolate cherry to Zizy's futa-cock.

But firstly, the story.

I had 2 ideas on how you can lose at Pale Rock. The first was to max Infernals while ditching everything and everyone else, then make as many bas choices at the siege as possible. The second was to give Infernals the barest minimum to make them lose morale on Act IV's Conquest.


Both failed.

1. First attempt, led by Zyzerix's Cock Warmer was successful until the culmination of my plan. I've sacrificed everyone to Zizeryx, broken kobolds on repeated attempts to capture Valzira and let demons ravage my entire realm. Then, at Pale Rock, I failed every sensible option (leading to Breaker being killed during the siege), instead solving every challenge with firebreath - including Adeline, just in case the condition was total devastation.

9 power for Infernals, 0 for kobbies, every character dead or in Inferno and collapsing prosperity - but no prolapsing dragon assholes.

2. Cursing, I started the second attempt with Zizeryx's Cock Holster (got her name right! Yay!). Was cursing again very soon - turns out, Heloise needs level 4 Charm or level 6 Potency to pass. Since I've got neither and I thought I've got it, I didn't save.

Maybe, my dragon was pegged by angry elves after game over screen, but it was still a failure.

3. Then, finally, came Zizeryx's Cock Holster the 2.0. Some half an hour speedrun of the game that saw me skipping everything except checks to give me Charm 4 - and subsequently, Heloise. Who went on permanent vacation to futa dimension, after which I skipped everything (ate Issa just to get by faster) up until Act IV. During the Conquest I have quickly ran everyone into 0 morale only to realize that you can go to Pale Rock immediately and that doing so does not require morale at all.

Which meant that my second idea was as botched as the first. Yet, it was Zizeryx's Cock Holster the 2.0 who lived up to his name.

How, you ask? This time I decided not to skip early Act V and check Zizeryx. In dialogue with whom I quickly found the option to get the futa on male scene with her tonguing and then fucking the Bad Dragon under his tail.


Yes, it is that easy. You just need to empower Infernals, survive until Act V and visit them after your victory. That's how you make your dragon a bottom bitch - or, as Zizeryx poetically put it: "Witness, brother, the ecstasy of the conquered!".


What you require:
Infernals, Heloise, encounter with catgirls, encounter with Maelys, enough stats

What you need to do specifically:
1. During Act I and II farm for Charm 4 or Potency 6. There are plenty of ways so it isn't hard (you will likely have either through natural progression alone), though I wager the Charm 4 is easier to get. If you don't get one of those stats, Heloise will fuck you up.
2. During Act II go to the Bastion (the Town) and talk with catgirls. If you don't do it, you won't be able to get to Heloise later.
3. During Act II go to the Forest and either let centaurs fuck Maelys or help her. It is the simplest way to prevent Maelys from killing you at the end of Act III. Two other ways are Kobolds with 2+ morale or having more than one horde (Infernals/Malagar/Proteans do no count here!!!).
4. During Act III revisit Bastion, talk to catgirls and confront Heloise. If you have Charm 4, try to be horny, if Potency 6 - just resist her. Then, take her captive and either tell catgirls about the Mines or don't - if you do, hope you've prepared some traps beforehand.
5. Sacrifice Heloise to the Infernals.
6. Play through the rest of the game as you wish until Act V. Then, hold your first court, which opens the option to speak with your generals. Choose Zizeryx, ask her what she's doing, pick through the options until option 'Take its hand.' will appear - that's it.
Congrats on subbing your dragochad to futa cock, I guess.


P.S. Infernalized version of Valzira is kinda cool-looking, ngl. And kinda crazy-looking too. I guess being a colossal butt-pain is ingrained in her very nature.

P.P.S. If there is another futa on male scene or that I have really missed the one you've meant, do please correct and enlighten me on the subject. Because this one was good.

Thanks for the correction!

 

[GrandPaBrowning]

Thanks for the correction!

Thanks for recommendation! I've found what's probably my new favorite scene in this game. Spending several hours, but still.

Hope my efforts will be of value to others. That scene is good, if rather short, and I can't recommend it enough - or recommend enough to avoid it, if you aren't a connoisseur a perv a goon into futa-on male.

Also, seizing the opportunity, I hereby declare!

BAD DRAGON IS NOW OFFICIALLY A BOTTOM. There was cock in him, he got the semen injection and came from anal! Its gay over, man, gay over!

Take from it what you will.

I prefer male on futa
There's something about a cute she-dick dangling between her legs as you plow your prey

 

[GrandPaBrowning]

Perfectly understandable, even if I tend to prefer the opposite. Nothing like a surprised guy being dragged up and down the dick he didn't expect to be there.

Also, you perfectly encapsulated, why I prefer draenei futas - when they have them dangle, them do be dangle! If you know what I mean.

~There is no cock...~

 

[SylveonLily]

With everyone being lost with the DRM, I think I might just be loving being a linux user right now, because I have been confused by the very idea of this having drm for ages, it's a renpy game, how do you even make an effective drm with python? Has anyone tried just launching the game using the python script in windows? Sure, sometimes the python script doesn't work alone with renpy games, but usually it does, as long as you're using the right version of python, and for those that don't, I'm usually having difficulties with the .sh script as well and need to launch the windows executable in wine, but those are major outliers. I literally don't have a windows device to test if this works in windows, but it did stop when I ran the windows executable in wine, so I figure it's actually just the windows executable itself that's got this malware in it, so executing the python script using the included Python executable and environment should be feasible as a better way of avoiding the DRM, but that might be how the .bat drm removers work already and I might be late to this

 

[Royko]

If you have the previous DRM removers, delete them all. Looks like if you have any .bat files or .cmd files in the main directory, the game doesn't start.

Game didn't want to start as i had UnRen. Thanks for info.

Is it possible to get Malice and to NOT have your harem become fat animals?

 

[ZeroMega32]

How come no one has just linked to a cracked version if you don't mind me asking

 

[GrandPaBrowning]

Is it possible to get Malice and to NOT have your harem become fat animals?

As of now, the one to mutate, I think, is Marie-Ann. If you do not have her in your harem, you should be fine.

 

[hotthrobbingknot]

So no, no way to keep best girl from becoming a fucking fatass deer if you want Malice too.

Great.

 

[LewdRider]

this version not working without STEAM

 

[2234]

stupid"fix "but this works.

use the bat. when game is starting immediately remove the starter.bat.

if your fast. it doesnt see the bat and continue starting

 

[GrandPaBrowning]

best girl

REPENT, YOU DIRTY HERETIC! REPEEEEEENT!!!

On more serious note, I really do not get why so many people like M-Ann. She's not bad, just... I dunno? Kinda bland? In a cute way that fits her origins, I admit, but still.

Apart from Malice, who is the best, Mina and Enid have characters, the elves have them in spades, Naho is the best at being annoying dogo, Chanwe is fun to play with, catgirls are amusing in their dynamics, Maelys would be a perfect fit for goths, Adeline has some charm and Zizeryx has a cock (and describes itself a male, yeap).

Ann is my bottom 3, lower are only Cooch and Darja for being one trick pony and VERY FUCKING ANNOYING one trick pony respectively.

I don't get her.

She has a personality that’s pretty appealing to someone who’s out to get himself a harem. She adapts to her situation quickly, she tries to foster friendship between the harem girls (e.g. talking to Valzira), and she’s quite willing to get dirty with the other girls as well (as exemplified in her encounter with Mina).
