Hi. I tried adding your patch, but it seems to be only somewhat working, at least with chapter 1. I just starting the game out brand new to it and the names and custom phone images appear. However, I think it's blocking the gallery from doing anything as I finished Episode 1 and not a single image unlocked. As a sanity check, I wiped out my install and tried again without the patch added. Without it, an image is unlocked during the phone call at the first choice in a new game so this can easily be tested and recreated. So something in the patch code is blocking this. Unlocked images do stay visible after applying the patch, though can't unlock more.

Thanks!
Not sure, mine were already unlocked as I used this: Universal Gallery Unlocker [2024-01-24] [ZLZK] and nothing was changed gallery wise either.

I have a hunch that dev has completed the renders for future updates and is releasing them on a monthly basis just like the game 'CopyCat'!

Yeah I don't want to just unlock the images automatically as I'd prefer to have them unlock naturally as I play. I'll just wait to play the game until a new version of the patch is released from either more content forces it or you have a chance to check out the issue. My big concern is that if one piece of functionality isn't working, it could be unintentionally breaking other things too so don't want to chance it. I'm guessing something changed in some of the code from the original Script.Rpy and there's some disconnect to your gui_scripts/screenGallery.rpy version.

None of those files are touched, only ep 1/2/3 rpy (and those only change dialogue) are along with the first few phone images to say "mom/aunt".

That just implies the issue probably existed before this most recent release and just hadn't been pointed out, or wasn't seen due to using the universal gallery unlocker. Again, this is very easily repeatable by clearing out the appdata/roaming/renPy/TheSyndicate cache, trying it with a fresh install and seeing the first image unlocked within 30 seconds of starting a new game. Then clear the cache again, and try again with your patch. There is definitely an onscreen notification right after the first phone call of a gallery unlock without your patch, and a lack of one with. There are definitely images appearing as visible without your patch, and everything is showing locked with it. Not even saying you have to fix it as others may be willing to just use the universal gallery unlocker to get around it. Just reporting that there is 100% at least 1 bug added by using your patch.

Sorry, clarifying slightly. Any images that were previousy unlocked by the clean install will still show unlocked if the cache wasn't cleared. It just won't unlock new images.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I just tried the "side story" and it seems just like the normal game but choosing the NTR options. If so, then what's the point in making a side story if it's already included in the ooriginal content? If I'm wrong please anyone let me know what's different.

It's not even in the Story.. you have to click on Side Story in the Menu.

The side story is completely separate from the main game. If I’m not mistaken, the events which occur in the side story is decided by high tier subscribers - makes sense to give them this benefit to justify the higher subscription fee.

Hey again. Did a little digging today and found where the problem is. The ep1/2/3.rpy files are the culprit for the unlocks not happening. Both the scripts.rpa and the ep1/2/3.rpy.bak files contain code to unlock, specifically formatted like "call unlock_image(1, 2)" peppered throughout. These calls are not in your patch version of those files. I'm not sure if you have any other custom edits in the ep1/2/3 rpy files for dialogue or if they can just be replaced with the .bak versions that came with the base code.

Thanks.
