Thanks for your response. I know about notepad but how do I even know to find that specific line? i've just ctrl + F searched for this phrase " GameManager.variableStore.numbers" mentioned in point 2 above, but there are 3 such lines...i have no clue which one to change.
Whoever made those instructions could have just posted the file already saved like that and all we had to do was just download it.
The current version has the old getPatronPledgedStatus() script on a remote file on ralx his herokuapp server. (this remotefile has some scripts in there that will grab your ip)
We can bypass this by simply modifying some of the javascript files.
NOTE: these names will very likely change with every update
How i found these => for the first file search for herokuapp through all the files in the data folder notepad++ or visual studio code will be able to do this.
for the second file you can look for "patron code".
You open the file with the name: "E6BF84EC65FE396405029F064C35A0D9DA8ED.json.js"
On line 233 modify the line to this (it has an id: gs.script)
script: "GameManager.variableStore.numbers[123] = 1850;",
after this you will want to change line 250 to (it has an id: gs.script)
script: 'GameManager.variableStore.strings[215] = "Declared";',
with this done you'll be able to get past the server selection.
Now comes a new security that was added which checks how much you have pledged.
(in the game you just choose the upper option and press confirm when asked for a code. all 0 is fine)
we're now going to modify the file called "386B51054CC7B649F95AFC54E52C3F16FD11.json.js"
go to line 120 and change it to (it has an id: gs.ShowMessage)
waitForCompletion: 0,
You should now be able to use cheats.
It might be possible that the first part is skippable by also changing waitForCompletion there but I haven't tried that yet. So feel free to experiment with that.
edit (20 july 2021): I've rewritten the whole thing it now doesn't use Virtual Novel Maker functions. I've turned them into a custom function. This way It will require less rewriting outside of adding it to the necessary parts in the scripts.js file.
I haven't checked in depth. Outside of opening gallery, Cheats, blackmail event.
edit (18 July 2021): Added a new version of the cheats which skips all the menus of inserting info. This will also unlock walkthrough and scenes without input of anything (normally). If you do see a menu pop up let me know.
edit added a zip with the files pre-edited for v0.74
