Ren'Py Summertime Saga [v21.0.0 wip.5091] [Kompas Productions]

[TK8000]

Ren'Py. If you change, add, remove variables...you break saves. (there's likely more to it, but simplest explanation)

Most Devs try to avoid this with Ren'Py...others just charge ahead...saves be damned.

Not true.

You can declare variables as "default" in Renpy. These variables work independently of your save and are read every time the game restarts. If you don't radically change the structure of the game, you can keep the saves working from the tech demo to the final version.

The point is: Renpy is a project that has existed for more than a decade and its evolution has been influenced by thousands of amateur and professional devs. The issue of saves working is not only a convenience for the players, it is an essential tool for the developer. Without saves that work between versions, you basically can't test your game.

When you as a developer decide to "improve" an engine to make your game possible, the first thing you need to do is: get to know the engine deeply. Otherwise, your improvements will destroy more than a decade of work and solutions that were found in 2005 and that were appreciated by countless devs, are suddenly undone and you start going through bad times...

Annie is last LMAOOO

 

[UBOLSOBS]

wym another save??

I don't know if other people's save work but would you like to try mine?

 

[McSlut]

I don't suppose you could change your name to "JohnsonIsMyBride" so we can get save compatibility next..?

i wanted the next on to be MiaIsMyButtSlut but i didn't expect ronda to win this quickly lmao. might go for JudithIsMyHamburger to show support for all my judith bros.

Well, it hasn't even been an hour since the last post, but if you want:

she actually dropped one percent. should we be worried? 100 votes isn't a lot!

i just saw that it's only three options (and not even one of them is eric/mrs johnson?!) so it's not that much of a surprise that ronda is winning. i mean it's still a surprise because i definitely thought between those three annie and judith are more popular. this made my day honestly, hope she really wins this. would be cool if someone could update us on how the vote is going. i kinda feel sorry for judith fans, you guys are getting cucked again.

I think the people voting for Rhonda story are actually voting for the lifeguard. I know there has been a bunch of chat about her on the streams so maybe that why Rhonda is pulling away. Kinda shocked that Annie is polling so low I was sure she would take this one easily.

There is a LOT more to these save issues.

However every time I have seen it...and the types of errors I see in SS...points to variable change along with DC's co stant modifying of the engine.

Ren'Py is good...but can be very flakey.

The error I got when trying to load my save from 18 into 18.1 was clearly a variable change of some sort. It freaked out because DV changed something with pregnancy variable.

Alright my dudes. Need you test it out and see if it works.(It works)

Rollback + mouse wheel:
1) Open your SummertimeSaga-0.16.1-pc folder.
2) Extract the attached zip contents on there.
3) Confirm any overwrite.
4) Launch game.

If it works please quote this post and tell me that it does work. If it gives you an error please post it.
It works.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fix for unren thanks to @booom313 :
1) Extract rpa.
2) Decompile rpyc.
3) Launch game and get error.
4) Go to \game\scripts and delete the minigames and locations folder.
5) Launch the game.

Och, great..., so I don't have to ask myself if my saves from bug v 0.18 will work for me here...

 

[Jonboy80]

Wasn't save compatibility tied more to how the game progressed and older content being changed.

I don't think it's as simple as just changing a variable to allow it.

For example, the latest update really changed Jenny stuff. Now, if you had an old save where you had completed Jenny's content but it affected other stuff, wouldn't that break the game?

You can ask the Magic 8 Ball...

Oh Magic 8 Ball...will saves from .18 work?
