Ren'Py The Seam [v0.23] [GoodbyeHappiness]

[gbhappiness]

I can ignore the errors, so not game-breaking (at the moment), but here they are:

I'm barely a minute into the game, so it may just be timing, but I figured you'd want to know.

I have a theory. Did you save and load before the MC left Sara's house? If so, that makes sense. There’s a variable there that tells the game whether it needs to load your progress if you load an old save. Ideally, this shouldn't lead to any errors later on, since further along in the game, all variables are set from scratch in the code. Anyway, keep me updated.

Yep! That's it. Good to know it's just my problem and not a problem for everyone. (and a small problem at that)

anyone can share a save file?
Lost mine since i thought there would be no more updates

The update didn’t last a day without a bug being found. If anyone didn't get the scene where the MC finds a piece of fabric the day after Arisa explains about the fabric, download the fix. It's available on the main page.
Edit: Two files. God bless me

Hello. Press the left side of the screen to go left in the church.

the eye does not show anything, and on top left the sign is empty, in the start i looked but only now i found it, if i find some bug i will report here, thx

Most likely, I just forgot to add this information to the 'eye.'

gbhappiness , Playing through from scratch to see what has been fixed this release. I've hit a very odd bug I've never come across in a renpy game before.

This is the default text speed:


I personally like the text to instant print, so I set it to max and everything is fine. But if I rollback (to re-read a line, double check something, etc.) it reverts to the default text_cps of 142. If I open the developer console and close it (even without typing anything), it reverts to the default value of 142. Even if I try to overwrite it in the developer console to a different value, as soon as I close the console, it reverts to the value of 142.

I think that the preferences.text_cps=142 is hardcoding the value, not allowing for player input to adjust it.

It's a very odd thing. Honestly, until I can figure out a fix for it, I probably won't replay through the game. I will try to take the time to troubleshoot it though.

*Edit: So there are 3 instances of text_cps in the codebase looking at it. 2 in options.rpy, and 1 in script.rpy. All of them are prefaced with the default option, which should allow for overriding it via player input. But that doesn't seem to be happening.

TheSeam-0.23-pc/game$ grep text_cps *.rpy
options.rpy:default preferences.text_cps = 0
options.rpy:default preferences.text_cps = 142
script.rpy:default preferences.text_cps = 142

Summary: After a quick review, I can't see any obvious issue as to why it wouldn't allow for player override of the default values. But it's definitely not allowing for player override of the default values.

*Edit 2: OK, that was actually a quick fix. It seems the multiple definitions of the defaults is in fact the root cause. By comment out all but one of the default value settings, player input is not overridden on rollback or console open/close.

So Yeah, I guess the bugfix request is to only define the default preferences.text_cps value once in your various script files.

*Edit 3: I'll play through from scratch now with the un-archived files in place to see if I hit anything else.

What I like about you all is that you manage to find bugs that I didn't even know about.
I'll check this fact, but tomorrow, I have no time today. Thank you!

I got bug where game keep changing MC namo to NONE after I turn the game off and on again. Is there a way to change the name back?

You'll like this one then as well.

You have a calculation in the chest area when interacting with the book and looking at the various skill circles. If you try to interact with them on your first visit (Maybe subsequent? Don't know yet. But currently I'm on my first visit.) you end up with an error caused by one of the calculations. Looking at the variable names, it seems max_exp is not a variable defined anywhere, but it is used in the calculations called by those circles.

I've already been told about that error with them, bro. It's caused by updating renpy to 8.2.3. The fix for this issue is already on the main page, you can download it

1) I don't know where this error comes from, but you're not the first
2) Start a new game
3) Scroll to the point where you choose a name
4) Set the name and load the save

Thank you for quick answer, it works like charm.

Is android apk really can't exceed 2GB? Because I know a game that have a 4GB apk and I'm able to install it without any problem, no long loading, no error every 30 seconds, just the same normal android port with 4GB file apk size

there is also an alternative with rypc file (if I remember correctly, and yes it's usually only using 1 singular file) that contain all of the data and can reach more than 2 GB, and using different save/data location to load that file, and you only using a 20-50MB apk files just like using .obb files back in the day, updating is also a breeze because u only need to replace the rypc file or add an update.rypc (just like how patches works) to the main rypc directory unless there is a major rework

Maybe the 2nd option is too much work to do, idk how isit behind the scenes, but just using apk beyond 2GB is working for the game I mentioned

Apparently, he's a magician. When trying to install an APK larger than 2 GB, Android just says, "Could you please f*** off?" There are enough open threads where developers ask for help with this issue. It’s usually solved by reducing the quality of CG and videos. I decided to do it differently.

Yeah there's one or two devs who have games bigger than 2gb apk that work. One of them I'm aware of doesn't even know how/why it works.

Usually if you want to go bigger than 2gb you have to do an apk and an rpa with the bulk of the data being in the rpa which you add to the game folder after installing and running the apk once.

 

[RavineAls]

Not to pressure you or anything but there is another recently updated game that do have 4.3GB apk, and in the developer note it says that they do have a problem exporting the game to apk above 2GB before. But because now the apk is twice that size I assume that they found and know a solution. might be worth to ask em, either way I'm gonna use joiplay in the mean time

gbhappiness I'd like to ask some questions, first, let me mention that i downloaded the event and map files you mentioned, now onto the questions.
I have a couple of quest that i don't really have info on:
Praise the food!- it shows a location and time but for conditions it says :-update" can this quest be completed or we need to wait for further updates?

Chloe-it shows a location and time but for conditions it says :-update" can this quest be completed or we need to wait for further updates?

Brothel - well, from the info displayed in game i'm gonna assume that we need to wait for more updates.

Guards salary- it shows a location and time but for conditions it says :-update" can this quest be completed or we need to wait for further updates?

(now,I asked the above questions because in the quest "Praise the Sun" i also have the place and time, with the same condition "-update" but i was able to trigger it(started cleaning the church), so i wanted to know about others)

Decoding memory- i have no ideea, looked at the location at the specified time, multiple days,used URM to see if Lagune has any conversation choice for it but it doesn't appear to be so beside the normal "spend time, lets do something, ask about fishing and stop", can it be completed at this time?

How to swing a sword- i guess for this one i do need to wait for update from the info

Sara's clothes- so far can't really progress here, maybe i need to do something else before this.
beside these what else i have active is:
"mini's request"(after the solution exploded)
"no need for a rebellion"( i guess this can't be completed if the first quests i asked about can't be completed.)
"help in the store2"
and two quests marked with ?????????

Hi. In quests where there are words about an update, it means they are not finished yet. The "Decoding memory" quest can be completed. I can't exactly remember how I wrote the code right now, but I think you didn't get the amulet from her. Am I right?
Talk to Eliza about Jeff if you haven't done so already. Someday, I will definitely remember that I forgot to add a description for this quest.
