So if you are playing with NTR on, then you will lose relationship points once you reach past a certain point in the game. Once the girls start losing points, they continue to lose points each night. To keep their relationship points up, you need to give them gifts at Lunch or view the scenes in game to give them more points. If you play with NTR turned off, then their relationship points will not decrease, but you won't have access to the NTR scenes.

From your screenshot it looks like you're playing with the Gallery Mod as well. You'll want to ask this question on that thread. I can't recreate that issue with just the SAZMOD installed, so I believe it's something on the Gallery Mod side of things. (If you're playing with the latest version and HotFix of the SAZMOD, that might also be the problem, as I don't believe the Gallery Mod has been updated yet for the latest release).

Hey S A Z just a bit of feedback.

Firstly I really like the mod so many thanks for your work.

More substantially I use linux and noticed that the save games for the mod are stored in a somewhat unusual location. I'm not sure if this is intentional. The usual place for RenPy saves is ~/.renpy/[gamename] so for the base game that's ~/.renpy/TheTyrant-1504059355. But SazMod saves go to ~/RenPy/TheTyrant-SAZMOD\. Note that capitalisation matters for filepaths on linux (and folders starting with . are hidden by default). Unless there is a good reason for the different filepath perhaps it could be changed? If only so as I don't have another folder cluttering up my home folder. It's also useful to have all the saves for renpy games in the one place.

That's intended to prevent mixing up the saves from the mod and the base game. They're incompatible with each other.

Yes the saves are incompatible. Is it not sufficient that the final folder is named differently - that is .../TheTyrant-1504059355 is a different folder than .../TheTyrant-SAZMOD\ ? Sazmod is already customising the location for save/load. Or am I missing something?

Edit: My comment is about the filepath not the final folder, that is /RenPy/ vs. /.renpy/

Spoiler: Hidden Cameras

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

For now that is all of the content inside of Cassandra's room that is in the game. It follows the content that is in the main game. That is also all of the content in the Downstairs shower with her as well. You have hit the end of the content available for now.

I have a basic guide built into the the game and available for download separately on the OP. It covers a lot of the systems added for the mod and the scenes available, but I have not created a thorough guide with a step by step process or every small scene change laid out I'm afraid. As it's an open world, I've always left it open to pick your own course. While I would eventually like to upgrade the built-in walkthrough to list all of the scene in detail, for now, that is all I have. I'm always happy to answer questions in the meantime.

If anyone else has their own walkthrough, guide, or notes that they use and are wanting/willing to share to help out, they can of course post on the thread.

Thank you as always my friend. I get it now. however, still not clear about what to do with the cameras. If you could please shed some light on that.

So the Hidden Camera spoiler says how to use the Hidden Camera step by step, currently you can only place one in Alexis's bedroom. Is there something in particular that is confusing you? A step that you are stuck on?

Hello! And thank you for the feedback!

lazycodemonkey is correct about the reasoning behind giving it a different save folder. As I want this mod's installation to be non-intrusive as much as possible as well, I didn't want the mod saves to just sit the original game's save folder too if you just decide to the delete the mod at some point. As you can just delete the SAZMOD folder to remove the mod and return back to the original game.

But it was not my intention to have a different base RenPy folder for you either. For both Mac and Windows users it should be RenPy, but I am seeing in the official documentation that linux is all lowercase. So I believe that is just because of the way I have it coded for the Linux file path. I should be able to fix that for upcoming official release.

However if you wanted to fix it now on your copy, if you go to the earlyoptions.rpy file and go to line 19, you should find the options for Linux. Replace the "RenPy" with ".renpy" and I believe that should fix the issue. (If that doesn't, then it should probably be "renpy", I'm pretty sure you need the period though, I just don't currently have a Linux machine setup to test it on.) Also be sure to delete the earlyoptions.rpyc before starting up the mod again as that can store the old version of the compiled code.

If you want to let me know if that works I'll adjust the mod accordingly. I have already changed it to ".renpy" as I believe that is the correct structure for Linux. But if needs to be "renpy" in that line, it would be good to know. Thank you again for letting me know about this and to lazycodemonkey for helping out to answer before!

Yeah I feel dumb now. LOL! I realized I had already one that and seen the pics in my room. Had a brain fade moment there. Sorry for the time waste. and thank you for taking the time to try to help my dumb ass!

No worries! I just wanted to make sure there wasn't a part you were stuck on. I'm glad you're good.

I do want to expand on that system. I've just been slowly checking off other parts of the todo list first. But I will be swinging back to that system in some form or another eventually.

Thanks SAZ.

.renpy is correct

Changing line 19 accordingly works. It even automatically copied across the old saves from the RenPy folder. But... it also duplicates all the files in the sazmod script folder (as .rpyc). The change on line 19 persists in the earlyoptions.rpyc. Deleting the .rpyc files just results in them being created again when the game is launched.

I'll try a full reinstall with the change made before the first run to see what happens out of curiosity. Could be a couple of hours but I'll post the results here.

Thank you so much for letting me know that works! I'll keep the change then for the next release.

I should have been more clear on the .rpyc files. That is actually normal behavior. When a game is not archived in .rpa files, you see .rpy files like the mod has. You will also see .rpyc files because RenPy compiles them before running the game. It normally only has to do this once for each .rpy file, but if there is an update to the .rpy files, then you often need to delete the old .rpyc files so that they can be recompiled and replaced with the new code, otherwise the code from the old .rpy files will still be there in the old .rpyc files. That is why when I release the HotFix files, I have you delete the old "scripts" folder and replace it with the new one. So it gets rid of the old .rpyc files and will recompile the .rpy files the first time your start the game again.

I'm really sorry about the confusion though! And thank you again for helping me with that! I'm glad we could get rid of that extra "RenPy" folder for the Linux users of the mod.

 

[feelotraveller]

Not a worry. Reinstalling showed the same behaviour.

What did change was that the saves from the old location were no longer accessible.

Okay, that's good to know.

Did you lose access to your old mod saves entirely? Or did it do as you mentioned earlier and copy those saves to the new saves location's folder?

I lost access to them entirely. The new saves I had made after the change were still present.

Presumaby my mistake in thinking that they had been copied across. The old saves were accessible to the game before the reinstall. I looked at the new mod save folder and saw a bunch of saves there and assumed that they were the old saves that had been copied across. They were certainly loadable by the game then. However before the reinstall I deleted the old mod save folder and thought that I had verified that the old saves were still accessible by the game. I guess it's possible I did not relaunch the game and they were stored in some sort of temporary memory?

Not a problem for me since I was starting a new game with hotfix 4 anyway but other people may wish to manually copy across the saves before deleting the old mod save folder. Or open the old saves in the newly patched game and resave them before deleting the old save folder.

Thank you again for this information! I'm very sorry you lost those saves though. I'm glad it won't be a terrible inconvenience in this case, as you were starting a new save, but I will definitetly include this information for the new update for Linux users. It will be good to get things in the proper location I was originally hoping for in the first place, but again, I'm sorry for the trouble that caused.
