Ren'Py The Headmaster [v0.16.2] [Altos and Herdone]

[JohnyShadow7]

I need help. My Miss Chang is broken.
Whenever she is supposed to have a line, the game throws out this kind of error. (Usually I can just "ignore" and move on, but it is very disruptive in longer scenes.)
This particular error below is from the new medical exam, but it happened in earlier versions too, like in the friday board meetings, or when talking to her in her classroom in the evenings.

The actual conversation would look something like this:
Chang: "error screen" (ignore)
Faye: "line"
Chang: "error screen" (ignore)
Faye: "line"
Chang: "error screen" (ignore)
etc.

PS: I´ve seen the same problem mentioned here before, but I couldn´t find a proper solution. (Except for pressing "ignore".)

I don't know if related but on joiplay i too get error screens. (On early stage of game tho)
miss Cheng(minor)
watching series with girls (whole)
and such..

It not like i get it for whole game but again its early game and already like this.

 

[Gegecucu]

Not sure if either of these have been mentioned yet, but i came across 2 issues when replaying this game from the beginning in the version: beta 0.16.1.

This one shows up when i try to review the rules on the computer using this button. View attachment 3948933
This is the error code.

This one also shows Cassandra as "not met" in the character menu.
I will continue this playthrough and post any more errors I find. Thank you.

Did you start from a new game & if skip day 1 or chapter 1?

 

[banhmi111]

Help me! How can i play this game on iPhone ((

 

[Gegecucu]

Help me! How can i play this game on iPhone ((

Not possible, I'm afraid.

 

[TheDevian]

Could try Joiplay.

 

[ppbeater]

seems like im not the only 1 who cant progress because of missing influence points, would suggest not having the game be softlocked because you cant complete any quests

 

[-Maniackanime-]

Cassandra and Debbie's route is very interesting and to my liking hehe. Using their desires and dreams, we made them into a very promising young individuals... when I look at them at the start to the current end of their content, i feel proud, like a father, having seen their daughter growing up except they also give you blowjob...
This game really teaches you stuff about phycology, albeit immoral as this is a porn game but still.
Btw Mc's methods focuses too much on girls lmao, imma just put some logic on that nutcase wanna be heroes logic haha

Had that happen earlier . interesting tidbit was added in quest section to bottom right tells how many points are available for that chapter . i determined i was not getting sally's points for pleasuring girls . i was manually doing the punishnent not using the guided punishment . this may have failed the point trigger . i got soft locked on an earlier attempt cause i had 9 of 11 when i was at the point adding the rule to do topless punishment and body search (harriet) .

Getting this one when trying to enter Miss Newman's Apartment. Started a new game from scratch on the current version.

Seen that one to .. And scratching my head where the call to that item is and why it would have to do with newmans apt lol. Made me have a good laugh

This game really teaches you stuff about phycology, albeit immoral as this is a porn game but still.

I think the authors have written this game in a way that the tongue-in-cheek/humorous character of the story is always prevalent and it puts the otherwise very serious and unethical contents of the story into a different context. The Headmaster just takes place in a bizarro land where common sense or rules don't apply. So, I'd argue that the authors actively want you to *not* learn anything from this game, especially because it deals with harmful practices like gaslighting, abuse of power etc. I think it's commendable, because there definitely are avns that implicitly promote the harmful practices within them.

Are you telling me that manipulating your coworkers and students to indulge in your kinks veiled in "experimental discipline methods" endorsed by a third party - of influential men (and women), ultimately making the manipulated subjects' lives better, or at least them not developing bad psychological conditions does NOT work in real life as it's portrayed in the game?! No way!

 

[SnakeInTheGrass]

Eh, no, that was not what I was saying. I was reacting to someone saying that despite the practices in the game being unethical they learned something about psychology, and I replied saying that the authors create this overexaggerated context so as not to promote any of the real underlying practices.

Well, then my sarcastic post isn't that far off either. The game teaches you a little bit of psychology, albeit some facts are mixed in with 'harmful' (IRL), fabricated and manipulated ones. Just like in other areas, if you sponge the information with face value here without any prior knowledge, the half-truths will not properly educate you to put it lightly.

Could try Joiplay.

Jói play is not working on the iphone

Agreed, no way will I humiliate someone then spank them and make them feel pleasure by whatever method that is perverted.
Lesson that can be learned here tho, is that this three factor; pain, humiliation and pleasure can change a person at their core. (Of course that's just one of the many methods)

A lot about psychology of students here is demonstrated fantastically and is somewhat realistic about the Insecurities, problems, and such of a students. The game demonstrates a way to solve them, in a perverted way of course but if you change the method it may bring the same results.

That might lead to other issues though, since right now the influence points aren't really points you grind out (like e. g. discipline) but hard tied to story progression. Which in turn could mean if you allow to go "2 points early" or suchlike, the story connection breaks (best case) or other in game stuff doesn't work anymore because of missing flags (worst).

So this happens for every call for 'sc', that being Susan Chang, what i cannot understand it where the b' comes from, using unren to check the script all her lines are called by the usual 'sc', not 'b'sc' and having a look at the 'ast.py' file the error page shows makes no mention of a b' either, so i can't even figure out what to self edit to get it to work, all i'm left with is hitting ignore a bunch of times and reading the text from the vsixteen.rpy i pulled out previously.

Which in turn could mean if you allow to go "2 points early" or suchlike, the story connection breaks (best case) or other in game stuff doesn't work anymore because of missing flags (worst).

I understand but when the alternative is not being able to progress because literally every quest is locked behind something you can't get, I feel like that's worse than what could happen, I understand this is wip but for something so important to the game, it should not be something that can be broken, I tried looking at the guide for help, going specifically to chapter 2 but that thing is also just as useless (instead of being a guide it just seems to copy paste the in game text, not actually a guide, & more of a regurgitating paper)

I suppose that the failure to get the right amount of influence points by making 'bad/wrong' choices could be developed into a Game Over bad ending type thing I guess as well.
