Yes, but it didn't work either; I already repeated the whole game, is not the end of the world either, thanks, I just wanted to clarify that not all the old saved worked...

If you are using a save from one of the modified scripts, they usually don't work with the official script. Not sure what voodoo is involved, but that is a consequence of using the edited script. You need to use a savefile made from PL's official distribution.

Voodoo would be making saves between heavy mods and original games interchangeable. Just saying... :rolleyes:

A modder could make his mod saves work in the original game if he wants to do so, but expecting the original author to make his game compatible with mods (that he probably isn't even aware of) would be nuts.

I wasn't suggesting anything of the sort. I was just suggesting a reason why the OP might be having a problem with his saves in the current update since I haven't heard about others having similar problems.

BTW, the modified scripts I was referring to didn't really "mod" the game at all. They were edited to (mostly) improve grammar issues.

Edit: Oh, I see. I didn't quote a previous message in my reply so you didn't see the context of the conversation. My bad.

I was complementing your message, not arguing against it. Pretty much any change in the original game script that changes anything other than displayable text strings is a "heavy" mod that has a potential to break compatibility with old saves. At least some of them.
RenPy saves
https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/save_load_rollback.html said:
  • The current statement, and all statements that can be returned to.
  • The images and displayables that are being shown.
  • The screens being shown, and the values of variables within those screens.
  • The music that Ren'Py is playing.
  • The list of nvl-mode text blocks.
In case those things are modified around the area a save file has been created previously, at least that save file won't work with the modified version any more.
The more changes are made, the more broken save files you'll have.
And if save files are created while playing some modified version of the game, the original game becomes the "mod" these save files won't work with any more.

Fixing grammar inside the text strings is not something that should break compatibility with old saves, but I assumed you to be talking about some cheat mods or walkthrough mods or some other mods that modify the script.

Yeah, I didn't think so, but it usually does. The only thing I can think of that might be a problem is if I inadvertently type over an ending quotation mark or something like that... One of these days I'm gonna do a deep dive into figuring out exactly how RenPy works "under the hood".

Well, quotes inside the script are important part of the syntax. If you remove an ending quote, it usually means to the interpreter that all the following code is a part of the string - until it encounters the next quote character or, depending on the interpreter, only until the end of line.

Ren'Py seems to honor EOL's (even if a line of code contains opening tags without the end tag, Ren'Py seems to ignore the missing end tag after the line break), so it won't fuck up much of the code. I'm not sure about the quotes, though.
In some other languages however, a missing quote can kill your code completely.

I have to say this is one of the best VN's that I've played in a long time. But the ending
getting cut off about the big secret actually made me yell at my computer. I admit I used
a few four letter words from my frustration. But I get why the dev did that. You get engrossed
with the overall story of the game and get a good picture of the characters in the game.
It's nice it's not another incest game with the same cookie cutter models and storyline.
This is definitely a game I can support financially.

I was hit by a car.
Hello everyone

I was hit by a car today. Right on the crosswalk! I rolled on the hood for about 10 meters and got off with only a few abrasions on my right hand (I cut myself on the broken windshield). tomorrow I will go To the surgeon for an examination. Who else doesn't believe that the most unsuccessful developer in the world?
On account of the update.
Now I'm rendering animations. This is approximately 250 frames, for each frame about an hour and a half render. And I'm stuck on one dialogue. Well, on the one that ended the previous update. I just can’t write it beautifully. I’ll try to work with it again, but if I still can’t achieve anything, I will release it as it is. You decide how good this dialogue is.
As soon as I’m done with this, I’ll start releasing all kinds of things for patrons.
Guys, thanks for continuing to support. Really thanks ...
