LR2 v0.8.1 Hotfix Script

A bit of feedback: On the weekend, the girls do not show up for work (makes sense), but the events still happen. This is particularly frustrating for when an employee suddenly becomes unhappy, because you do not get an opportunity to go offer them a raise. And since your counteroffer is limited to a lousy 10% raise, you usually lose them if they pick a Saturday or Sunday to quit.

Ah, nevermind, found it. You gotta talk to Stephanie.

Maybe I'm just dumb, but I seem to be stuck early on. I researched the two options initially available (basic medical and basic suggestion) and made a couple serums each using one of those traits, and now nothing. I have no new research options, and Stephanie's salary is eating away the tiny profits I have from my crappy serum. What do I need to do to unlock new research?

Does this fix it for android?

I don't know if you knew about this and just ignored it or what, I think I remember reading something about screen sizes, but when I made my android version it crashed on the map because the background needed to be 1080p or something? Anyway I had to remove that to test it, and it was at least mentioned in your 0.8 bug fixing thread but wasn't answered.

The tax crisis can trigger even on Saturday or Sunday. Is it a bug, or is it intentional? It's not that hard to imagine a girl coming to the office even on her day off, but IMHO it's much more likely that she waits until Monday.

Alright, possible 'bug' report: Actually just a weird thing. I am noticing when you speak to your head researcher about the 3 candidates for the futuristic serum research, that if ANY of those eligible girls have very long names ("Jose Farrowsdotter", "Emma Bettencourt" or something), that the blue button that surrounAlright, possible 'bug' report: Actually, just a 'weird thing'. I am noticing when you speak to your head researcher about the 3 candidates for the futuristic serum research, that if ANY of those eligible girls have very long names ("Jose Farrowsdotter", "Emma Bettencourt" or something), that the blue button that surrounds their name in the selection area for both this dialogue event AND the staff review pane gets bigger. What this does is shift the columns of stats/values over to the right of the screen more. Now, in some cases, it just puts the 'select' button in an awkward looking position, but it's still selectable. But, in other cases, It pushes that button completely off-screen, rendering it totally unusable, and therefore does not allow you to progress in this questline. One quick fix might be, if you know python/renpy coding, is to go in and search for that girls name and re-name her something very small lol... So the button will fit. I really wish I could do that as 2 of 3 girls of mine have huge last names lmfao. Sucks to be me! Oh, and FYI folks... DO NOT sex up your girls with really long names with lots of letters, or you're gonna push that select button right off the right edge of the playable game screen... Just hump on the chicks with small, few-letter names to get that serum research xD

While you are on it... This is a cosmetic bug, but in script.rpy, line #6180 ("Were you about to put that in my drink, [the_person.name]?"), change "[the_person.name]" to "[mc.name]" - it's strange that the girl is accusing herself and not you as she should. Also, there's a serious memory leak in the game - after about three game weeks (with ~15 girls in the company, ~30 in the entire game) I need to restart the game every 2 game days or so. A decoded save includes a 20 MB "log" file, I believe some big cached object collection gets written down - I can argue that it shouldn't, the cache should be recreated empty on each load; this way old, unused items will disappear from cache. No idea how to debug that, though - I think the "pickle" module from Python would help, but it requires the renpy module, too, and I don't know Python well enough to add that. Finally, there's another weird bug - the sluttiness of the outfit in girls wardrobe changes over time. Say I create a "Full 20" outfit, with the sluttiness of 20. I add it to a girl's wardrobe, and it has a sluttiness of 20. However, when I come back to the same girl a few days later, she still has a "Full 20" outfit in her wardrobe, only now its sluttiness is 30. So I add another "Full 20" (which the manager says has sluttiness of 20), and once in the wardrobe, it also has a sluttiness of 30. Miracle of miracles... My suspicion is, if I load an outfit to the manager to modify it and create a new one based on it, I'm actually changing the original and not a copy.

Is there a designated discussion forum and/or wiki for this game? If not, you could start a thread on one of the popular ones, and designate it above, so that everyone knows to go to the same place. Fast & free. :)

Thank you, good!)

Haven't taken a look, but I assume the fix was "day % y" => "day % 7" ? that's the change i made locally so it'd run.

Happens to the best of us. (My release shaphots have not only a year-month-day, but also a minute:sec because every once in a while some release, despite by better testing, explodes on startup.)

Keep up your awesome work!
