i would like to ask if the image and data file are in separate .7z file do I need to manually extract them to the same folders?


Also, um what happen to the char folder? I updated the folder on my desktop and my char folder was erased I am having to re-download the packs because it deleted my char folder which is the reason for the above question seeing as I forgot the procedure.

[Xela]

I can't follow the question. Are you talking about the dev version or the old alpha?

[kyuubi43]

sorry I forgot to put that


I believe it's the dev version I have been updating using the merc repository address on the forums.
before today the last time I updated was before christmas. I saw the post that said to wait a few months on the initial tagging problems to be worked out.


I have been trying to make my own mod if I am not using the dev version could you direct me to the right source

You need the repo, Ren'Py and packs, at least one random girl from Dark...

You can grab any pack I think, they're all good. You'll need Hinata, Nami, Sakura and TenTen for testing but game should load as long as there is char/rchar folders there.

*Do note that there is no playing the dev version, there is no balance, some modules are disabled and even if you start it as a normal version, I doubt that it'll be any fun. Maybe uou could help us test/dev it or offer ideas

[kyuubi43]

i would love to help with testing and Ideas. I am new to ren'py (most my background is in java, unity, and c# along with all its predecessors) and broken or not it is still a fun way to kill time now and then.
that being said do i need to extract the image 7z and the data 7z into the same folder for each pack?

[DarkTl]

Unique chars are in content/chars. There every pack has a folder, like Ar_tonelico. Inside this folder there are both folders, like Cloche_Leythal and Jacqli, and jsons for them, data_Cloche_Leythal.json and data_Jacqli.
Random chars are in content/rchars/random. There should be both folders and jsons, like 2k_tan folder and data_2k_tan.json.

[kyuubi43]

understood so if I add the random chars i need to make a rchar folder if not than i'm good correct.
also is the rchar subfolder to char or is it a content subfolder like char

[DarkTl]

Since packs are huge, they are not a part of repo, and never were. Repo can't create characters folders and I think it can't delete them too, though I never tried.

Jsons files were separated from pictures because unlike packs they change very often at this stage.

You need at least 1 random character.

also is the rchar subfolder to char or is it a content subfolder like char

It's a content subfolder like char

[DarkTl]

Xela, you need to document new fields for class traits. I want to know what exactly I do there, not just guess

Ok, I'll try to sneak it in but no promises till tonight + I will add moar fields, I just don't yet know what they are

This is what the structure should look like (folders with pics in the same folder as data_xxx.json files):

What are the "map" files? There could be a map folder completely without files.

Make a screenshot of the rchars folder and post it here pls.

Structure should look like this:

[kyuubi43]

don't know I got a trace error that kept asking for the map.png and a tileset call map

You're prolly not using the latest code, that file should not be required. I doubt there is still anyone who has it. When was your last pull/merge according to HG?
