In any case, here's the save (I can't attach it, so I'm using mega).
Mega

Thanks!

Seeing the save file from Twine is encrypted or obfuscated some extra work would be needed.
Perhaps it would be possible to code something which imports the old save, unpack it, adding the missing variable placeholders/initial values and perhaps remove unused variables then the code spews out an updated save game file.

I know the unpack and export is possible somehow because of the many save game editors available.

Saving should work, just checked.
Open the game - SAVES - On disk (below) - Load - select the file.

But you are right, in the future it will be possible to make a new start to the content from the new update.

Yes, I am sure the load of the save will work.
What I meant was to prevent peoples saves to break each update.

As the game tracks interactions and things even if you provide a save it might not be what the player chose.

Well, previous updates didn't break saves. I honestly try to get rid of it. But to expand the game I need to add new variables, and TWINE is designed in such a way that it breaks old saves (unlike other engines). Most likely, it can be fixed somehow, but I'm not a programmer.

not a programmer either but found this which might be helpful. ht tps://www.reddit.com/r/twinegames/comments/1dv9njb/how_do_you_update_your_twine_game_without/ (i added a space in there cause wasnt sure about posting links and dont want to get smacked by an admin)

Thank you!
I looked at it, I'll need to transfer it and adapt it to the game when I have some free time.)

If you manage to fix the saves issue I'd be happy to play the next update, but if every update breaks the saves there's no reason for me to play at all untill there is a final complete release.
I wish you good luck.

Thanks for the feedback and good wishes.)
Well, saves didn't break on previous versions. So I'm trying to avoid it at least.
In any case, due to the war and the local fascist dictatorship, I don't plan anything further than 24 hours ahead. Therefore, it is not a fact that there will ever be a final release of the game.

Yo, tried out the game since 0.15 and man I really like the high possession events, truly want to see more of it or how it evolves and if it will affect the main quest or add side quest.

The thing removing saves sucks, thats that but yhea, game its kinda fast atm, but that can be troublesome on the future, still good luck with it and hoping to see more

Hey, thanks a lot for the positive comment. Glad you like the game.)

In the future, I plan to make more events with high possession. As well as many other events with a lot of bizarre and unusual fetishes.

Good luck and all the best.)

Blood-Red Circus It's not entirely correct that players need to start a new save because you have added new variables to the game. You can set variables that are undefined using Javascript.

Save.onLoad.add(function(save) {
  function fix(vars, name, defaultVal) {
    if (vars[name] === undefined) {
      vars[name] = defaultVal;
    }
  }

  for (let moment of save.state.history) {
    fix(moment.variables, "example1", 1);
    fix(moment.variables, "example2", 1);
    fix(moment.variables, "example3", 1);
  }
});

Simply replace the examples with variable names in your game and the value with the intended variable value you want.

I enjoyed what I played of the game by the way. Just read your changelog and thought it was worth letting you know you don't have to force players to keep restarting every time you add something new to it. That would get annoying fast.

I will try this. I hope it will work.)

Ok, I tried j_1993_m code on a new variable. It seems to work, but I don't have any old saves. Can someone check if it works fine with old saves? For example, if there is a basement in the house. Link to HTML file only:

Is this the new version that supposedly doesn’t brake the old files?

 

[sten mogon]

Tested, partly works... i get the 2nd floor with the small room and the attic, the porn comics on computer, but not the basement

 

[mcv]

So a lot of things aren't working it seems :

1. no basement or new room on 2nd floor
2. can't make Hilda move in
3. can't find the caretaker (weirdly, he was at the cemetery before I unlocked the quest to go see him)
4. Don't have the option to read the comics but it appears after watching porn
5. where's the tentacle event ?

Thx for your help !

I should have asked first, but are you using objects or arrays at all? If so, then you will need more code to fix those. If not, then the code I provided earlier should work as expected. I tested it on simple story variables like $charisma.

You can easily test this by removing the variable from StoryInit, saving the game where the new variable is checked, add the variable back to StoryInit, add the Javascript and load the save where the variable didn't exist.

there seems to be a bug with old saves so try restarting and see if it fixes things. it worked for me with a save from .15

Thank you very much for the test!
I had my suspicions that the basement variable was the old one, not the new one.

I'll upload a quick fix soon that should work.

These old saves don't work, I'll try to fix it soon.

I use regular variables. Probably.
Thanks again.)

Ok, the first message contains a fix for saves. It should work. Theoretically.
