It's been said numerous times, with various mods. If a mod replaces an existing game file, then it usually needs to be for the specific version it states. In this case, the file you replace contains all the code for the content, so you are simply reverting the version back to 0.25, and won't get any new 0.26 content, and possibly introducing incompatibilities. The same thing goes for unity games, where the mods replace the Assembly-CSharp.dll, which also contains all the version specific code, and needs to be redone for each new version.well darn, thats an unintended side effect

It might. You will probably lose all of the hotfixes though.the 0.26 mod will work when the base game is 0.26.02 right?
Same situation as what I posted above. Whether major or minor versions, mods need to be made for the exact same version you want to use, or all you are doing is reverting your version to whatever the mod version is.the 0.26 mod will work when the base game is 0.26.02 right?
I don't use the crunched versions, but it sounds like the rpa files have been extracted and the packed file removed. This means the mod won't work, unless you extract that too, or use the src version of the mod, as loose files take precedence over packed files. However, the same rules apply, it still replaces the main scripts, and will still revert your game to the mod version.26.02 game folder does not contain ANY rpa files. (Well, the crunched version anyway)
Yeah, I pretty much figured this out by looking back over some older posts. Thanks for replying, though. The SRC version is a small price to pay for people who like a good chunk of space freed up for minimal loss in visual quality.or use the src version of the mod
Just FYI - the way I compress Renpy games only changes the image/audio/video files. Renpy includes all the codecs it needs and doesn't look at the file extensions, just the headers. So for example, I re-encode all the PMG files as lossy webp but leave the file extension as .png so I don't have to edit the .rpy files.Minimal?! Mary lost a whole cup size thanks to @bossapplesauce 's lossy compression!
Sorry, couldn't resist.
Anyway, others have used the SRC-package succesfully on the compressed version. But I don't support it (since I can't know what's been done to the files and how it could affect the mod), which is why I don't advertise that fact.
Also, I noticed a bit of a discussion about the whole version thing. This mod is a core-mod. That means it replaces core parts of the game. As such, it is ALWAYS version-locked. Using an older version of the mod will simply revert your game back to that version. Using a newer version of the mod on an older version of the game could work, until it calls for missing images.
Either way, while people were talking about the mod being for a previous version, I had already updated it. Always check the first post in this thread, my signature or follow me to know when it's been updated. I will always update those three locations.
I know, but if I start supporting custom versions of the game, who knows which versions come out of the woodwork then. So I support one version and that is the original unaltered one. If the mod works on others, good for them.Just FYI - the way I compress Renpy games only changes the image/audio/video files.

TLDR - my compressed versions don't alter the rpy or rpyc files at all.
