V0071 - bug squashing

****DON'T USE OLD SAVES - For now, start a fresh game with each update. Otherwise you'll get bugs and things I can't control. Sorry.****

Okay, just a real quick update with some game wrecking bugs removed.


*Training should work fine now - I'd mistyped a stat. It now seems to work fine for me. Soem one reported getting a crash whenever he tried to play because of the clarinet - I can't replicate this. Let me know if there's any more problems.

*Checking your status at the hotel should work again, another stat typo.

*Some people have reported vague combat problems, to do with lust attacks? It seems to be working fine for me, can't work out what's up. If there's still issues, please give me as detailed an explanation of the problem as you can.

*Farmgirl has eyes now!

*Sharona sent me a goth, so I stuck her in. We're going to need to resize her, though - she kind of pops off the top of the screen ATM.

*Someone reported that a bug to do with the plants is still happening - I can't figure out what this is, seems to work for me. Let me know more if it happens to you.

New update today or tommorow with more minor fixes and content.

Multi format download - windows, linux, mac

Windows only 7zip

It took me more than an hour to build, un and re-zip and upload this shit. I think my computer is dying. :(


Update with more content later.

EDIT - keep meaning to add this - a guy called Zarin messaged me to tell me about a problem he was having with the game, and a solution he found. I have not had this issue, so I cannot vouch to this working. If it screws things up or makes your computer or loved ones explode, it is not my fault. Anyway, her is Zarins explanation. Cheers Zarin.


Hey, I downloaded your game, which is fantastic by the way, but encountered a problem when I first had it. I unzipped it fine, and the .exe booted with no problems, but all I had was a black window with no text or discernible options. After reinstalling Direct X and several other random stupid things, I actually found a solution for the problem, and I thought you may want to post it. I've seen a few people in the comments on your blog with the same issue I think.

First, you make a text file in the same directory as the MMwhatever.exe The text file has to be called Environment.txt

Second, you add the line RENPY_GL_ENVIRON="fixed" to the text file, and save it

Bam, problem solved. Not bad for someone with no programming experience eh?

Keep up the fantastic work, and I hope this is somewhat helpful.

I noticed something...

I had a save from an earlier build - I wanted to keep the dancemat and dartboart - but a lot of traceback errors were still happening. I started a new game and most of the errors disappeared. It seems that the *save* was still in (whatever build it was) and that was causing the problems. Will that mean having to restart every time a new build is made?

Is there a particular reason the game needs to access the internet? I just got an outbound access request from my firewall.

Anon 1 - yep, sorry, I should have mentioned this more prominently. Saves *might* work okay with a newer version, but it's possible they won't. It's due to the way variables are set up and handled. With it being a short game, hopefully this won't be too annoying for people.

Anon 2 - To the best of my knowledge, that shouldn't happen. No idea why it would, I will definetly investigate.

I tried my older saves and got error messages all over the place.

Can you check the item / training coding in the new version? I currently have about 500 exp and not a single item to train with despite trying out all sorts of things.

Just had a quick test, found porn mags on Lancaster Lane within a couple of goes. Remember, it's "search for supplies" to find the training items. Maybe you're just getting really bad luck with the Random Number Generator?

Apparently so. Thanks for checking though.

Ok with this build there is no issues with launching the MAC program this time

Dammit, can't open the multiformat ZIP. What program do you use to make it ? That unsupported method is getting on my nerves...

Grillo said...

images are great :D
hope you find some way so the text doesn't cover them
cheers

the multi format one is zipped automatically by renpy when it compiles the build. When I was unzipping and re-sipping them with 7-zip, we were getting issues where the mac version wouldn't work. Sorry you're having problems, but I really don't know how to zip these for the best any more.

Love the pics BTW. If your looking to get even more in, you can do loss pics also with the monsters in some sort of victory pose. Will be more dramatic once you get to the more mutated ones (evin grin :) )

For the ZIPs, FYI I'm using WinRAR under W7 and have never had a problem with them.
