Puzzle Timer Antagonist Route Error FIXED!


Hi, guys! I've returned with more fixes for Bermuda! >_<
MermaidVictory has reported to me that the timer for the fourth puzzle in the antagonist route is not disappearing when she finished the puzzle. I checked and turns out I forgot to add the code for stopping the timer in the script :') This also happens to the fifth puzzle so thank goodness she managed to find this bug!

I've fixed it and uploaded version 1.4.4! 
However, it's also okay if you don't want to download the update, because the simple solution is to just play the puzzle without using the timer~ I say this in consideration to those who has a limited quota of internet >_<; I still have a lot to learn, please bear with me as I fix the bugs that I missed Q_Q

In the near future, I will also update the scripts again because K D managed to find more grammar errors/missing/incomplete sentences. I'm waiting for him to give me a note of the sentences, but he said it's only a handful so I think it shouldn't disturb your immersive experience too much... 

Again, thank you for helping me improve Bermuda, everyone! m(_ _)m *bows*
xoxo,

Hey Chiel, it's me again. LOL

The ability to skip is not showing up for me since day 17. After the first selection worth hearts on day 17, the skip button is grayed out and CTRL is not engaging even though I already completed Kahlil's route. I even restarted the game to see if that fixed it, and it didn't.

Oh don't worry, if the skip button is greyed out, that means it's a new sentence that you haven't read before or you're in a new scene/route you haven't been before! It'll become light again as soon as you reached a sentence you've read and you can skip! ^O^

That's the thing. These are all scenes I have seen already.

hmm, then I think it has something to do with you updating to a newer version! Now if you have version 1.4.3 or even more below, go to 'game' folder >>> 'saves' folder and Copy a file named 'persistent'. 

Copy it and then Paste it to version 1.4.4 'saves' folder! And yes, replace the 'persistent' file with yours. This won't affect your save files so don't worry!

Unfortunately, that didn't fix it. I do think it has something to do with upgrading to a new version, but I have no clue how to reconcile this. I currently have three versions. 1.3, 1.4.2, and the current version 1.4.4

hmm, you finished Kahlil's route in 1.4.2, right? Now that you've replaced the persistent, the game will now think like 1.4.2, that you've just finished Kahlil's route. But if you finished Kahlil's route in version 1.3, then it's 1.3 persistent data that you need to copy and paste.

I hope you're following me >_<

if you start a new game and you can skip through the prologue, then it works! Other things you can check is if you go to the gallery and see Kahlil's CGs you've unlocked that means you did it correct

Edit: if not, maybe you can copy everything inside your old 'saves' folder and paste it to the newest one?

Oh and another thing you can try is type %AppData% in your folder address go to RenPy folder and in Bermuda folder there, you will find another persistent data that you can change

Hey Chiel, I just downloaded the newest version for me second route (Gunter), and I noticed that it is continuing to skip after choices are selected even though I have the setting set to stop skipping.

Edit: It's actually strange because it's not consistent. Sometimes it stops, and other times it don't. It's skipping more often than not.

Edit2: Now it is playing parts that are definitely not new without an option to skip. I'm on day 17.

Hi, KSR1! I've just checked and it's not happening to me x_x have you tried opening/closing the game? As reference, my setting is set at "SKIP AFTER CHOICE = 'Stop Skipping'" and "SKIP MESSAGES = 'Seen Messages'" 

Usually, I skip by pressing 'ctrl'.  If you're using the skip button, maybe that's the one causing trouble? But it's a default code from Ren'Py so... hmmm... another thing I can think of is: maybe Ren'Py is skipping so fast & your PC process things very smoothly, it sometimes failed to detect the choices and skips past them? 😅 This is such a confusing bug--I'll keep trying on my end,  but honestly, I'm as confused as you are, KSR1!

Hey Chiel, I have the same settings, and I have tried opening and closing the game. It appears to be doing its own thing since I am definitely reading text I've already seen with no skip option. I'm going to try the ctrl option. Will this appropriately stop at unread text and selections?

(1 edit)

Yes! If you skip by pressing the CTRL button, the game will still stop at choices & new sentences as long as you tick "Seen messages". When you stop pressing CTRL, it will also stop skipping! 

The difference with the Skip Button is: If you clicked it (The skip button under the textbox), the game will continue to skip after you make a choice! You need to click the button once more to stop skipping!

Okay, got it! I think this is where I got confused. In most games, the skip button behaves the way you're CTRL does. Thanks!

You're welcome! It's sometimes hard to describe these things, but I'm glad we worked it out! XD

W-wait a minute, KSR1, I've just discovered something!

If you're using the skip button, then yes, it will continue to skip after you make a choice! You need to click the button once more to stop skipping.

Also: if you tick "Seen Messages", the skip button will keep skipping until you encounter a sentence you haven't read. If you tick "All Messages", the skip button will keep skipping--eeven when you encounter things you haven't read before!

If this is the problem, then the solution I can give you is to skip by pressing CTRL button! If you stop pressing it the game will stop skipping too ^.^

Okay, I think I understand. Pressing the skip button essentially makes it skip any and all read text, so it will stop for me to make a choice, then after the choice start skipping again until it encounters unread text. Correct?

In order to make it stop skipping at the conclusion of a choice, I need to use CTRL instead of skip. Am I getting this right?

(1 edit)

Correct, the skip button under the textbox continues until you click it once more to stop it! (It glows as an indicator that it's still working/functioning). You can still use this to see the conclusion of a choice, but it might be a bit tedious since you need to click to use & click it again to stop it.

Pressing CTRL is more convenient since you only need to lift a finger when you want to stop skipping ^.^
