VN Ren'Py Completed Rick and Morty: Another Way Home [r4.2.1] [Night Mirror]

[AkylasLovesLicks]

Yeah it is during Day 33: Friday "Mirrored" that I'm getting the black screen during the scene. Specifically, from the line:

"Summer (Thoughts) (Fuck... she's so good.)"

All the way to:

"The two collapse on the bed as they tongue each other to orgasm, each giving exactly what the other wants"

Is just black screens with narration in between those lines, with 11 lines of black screen narration and dialogue.

Edit: checked my laptop and android versions and it's the same for both, so probably not a driver problem lol

Okay, I found the issue. It looks like one of the video files didn't get copied into distribution project for this scene.

I do my best to make sure everything is synced up, but with 30,000+ files, sometimes stuff gets missed (and doesn't throw an error or get spotted in testing). So, fixed, and the bugfix file is attached (containing just the missing video file in the folder structure).

What is really odd is that this scene has been broken since the it first went out in r3.8... back in May of 2023! And no one else noticed or let me know the problem was there. But it will be fixed going forward. Or, now if you download the patch (I'm not gonna put in the OP, as again, no one even noticed until now).

Thanks for the fix! Yeah I'm surprised it hasn't come up before, but then again I've been playing for a year plus and only just mentioned it, so who knows lol

Keep on rocking! Super big fan of the work you put in

I started the game as a big fan of the series and now I love the game more than the series. I wonder when the new update will come, I can't wait.

I did respond to your question with an answer. If we get more or not beyond that is up to Ferdafs.

just to confirm to apply this patch, movies folder (in rar) should be copied to game folder, and currently there is no movies folder in game (i am planning using joi player), there is movies.rpa though

Correct.

The movies.rpa file contains the folder structure (and files). When the game loads it should/is supposed to use the latest file versions, regardless if they are loose files are packed in a rpa. You do not need to unpack the movies.rpa file to use the patch.

You should end up with a new "movies" folder inside the game folder.

Not sure what's the issue but during the animated scenes (mind-blowers), the animation is extremely slow and choppy whereas when I use the Ferdafs version, the animation is smooth. Any fix for this?

If I understand correctly, it might be video codex issue, since Unity version generates animation on its engine and Ren'Py version uses pre-recorded videos. But I might be totally wrong. Tried asking chat-gpt?

The Unity version animations are done in Live2D and rendered in engine via the plugin at 60fps. I can't use the Live2D files directly (without recreating them from scratch). So, the option I've gone with is screen capture (win+g). That grabs them at 30fps, then I turn them into webm files and compress them. I personally can't see much of a difference (even running them side by side), and it's half the file size (videos are the majority of the game size at ~800mbs).

If they are frame dropping jerkiness, then it might be a video driver issue. If they are just "less smooth" well, yeah, they are half the frames of the original.

You can try the HFR mod and see if that improves things for you, just be aware that it's pretty big.
