You can do it from the beginning, just go visit Lucille in the science lab (did you get the strategy guide expansion right?).

If you don't loot metal scraps after each fight, then means is not active.

Hey there.

First, got another Error:

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

Windows-7-6.1.7600

Ren'Py 6.15.2.281

Happened when I tried to leave the Party Screen (The one with Inventory etc.) with just Philipp + Protag.



And the second is, that I too, don't have the option for the scrap-thingies even though I've already brought the guide ages ago.

OK I think the problem is that the new Renpy version has still some bugs, I tried playing and I got that error too. Sigh

I'll probably revert back to an older version of Renpy, it has some problems on Mountain Lion but since Mac users are very small minority for now I'll go with that. Good thing is that I tried loading saves and they are compatible

Done, please redownload the game from same URL (I still called it 1.5.1 since in practice I made no changes to MY code, but I used a previous version of the framework I use to make games). I tried loading a savegame where I had that last crash and I was able to go past it. About the scraps, make sure that in the main menu the "register" button has disappeared, it means that you have the base game + bonus content registered, otherwise try registering again. You'll get metal scraps after each battle, so if you don't get any, means is not working.

Sorry about the problems, I thought there were much less bugs

That's the meaning of letting people beta-test it, isn't it?

To locate and remove the last few bugs?

Yes that's true, but I always get annoyed when I think there are no more bugs and some last-minute stuff shows up

Hmm, I had to register twice to get metal scraps working for some reason.

Sorry Jack, but got another Error

Same one as with Barracuda but this time for Bloodline

Argh, thanks again for reporting it. This time I made sure that there are no more non-ascii characters in the items file! Same download URL as before

No problem

Glad I'm of help =)

If I find another I'll let you know

I clicked register twice and it loaded that I had scraps then. The only problem is that unless your supposed to ask lucille about scraps when you have a certain amount, I cannot get here to allow me to make them. She doesn't allow me the question/response to ask about making items. Although she does have the deluxe version under questions. Does she only allow you to make items when you have 400 scraps or a set number? Sorry for bothering I just am exited to make some new pistols.

No they use the same variable so should work, but maybe if there's a particular active quest is hidden... can you post a screenshot of the choices you have when you go to Lucille ?

Probably I could just allow the player to click a button in the inventory to access the screen even if would be less realistic but... or maybe add the option also in the barracks location...

if i buy the deluxe version, willi lose my achiviements?

I tried to print screen but it won't work. All their dialog says is-



1-Nothing Ill be on my way



2-Any news about the alien colonies



3-Can you refresh my memory on academy training?



That is from after I click to talk to lucille. When I just get there before I have a choice to talk to lucille-



1-leave place



2-Consult enemy databases



3-Talk to lucille



4-Talk to jacob.



That is all I have and I already registered from the main menu. Do you first get this when you finish the quest for the holodisk? I finished that quest but I don't know what to make of it.

if i buy the deluxe version, willi lose my achiviements?

Well yes but you could copy them manually if you know how to do it (is a file to copy from a directory to another).

Actually the old savegames are compatible, the main reason why I changed the directory was that the load/save screen new design use smaller thumbnails so it gets all messed up, but maybe I could find a way to shrink them... going to make some tests!

That is all I have and I already registered from the main menu. Do you first get this when you finish the quest for the holodisk? I finished that quest but I don't know what to make of it.

No you should get it already... Ok wait, will do another update and put the option also in the barracks just to be sure!

No you were right, I forgot that later in the game the dialog changes!

New version 1.5.2:

http://www.macgames.biz/games/PlanetStronghold-1.5.2-all.zip



About the achievements, you can copy the files from the old savegame directory to the new one and they'll be preserved. Copy the files from:

c:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\Appdata\Roaming\RenPy\Planet_Stronghold

to

c:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\Appdata\Roaming\RenPy\Planet_Stronghold_1.5

I've noticed that the new save menu lists 8 pages, but you can scroll past that. I put a save in #185, and it seems to work. I'm not sure if that's intended behavior, but it strikes me as odd; I would think that the page numbers would scroll or update themselves to allow users to more easily access all the slots. (I do think the new menu is nicer than the old one, and I do appreciate having more slots.)

Ah that's the standard behavior of the framework I'm using, but indeed it should update the numbers... will check if I can do it myself

Hey Jack, I received an error in the Deluxe Version



This error occurs after the tutorial in the science facility when talking to Lucille. After completing the first fight, I return to the science facility and ask Lucille about using metal scraps.



She replies with her normal dialogue, but then I receive another set of dialogue, stating "11". Just the number "11", followed by the error below.



I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

Hopefully its just an error with something on my end. Thank you for your time : )

Ok by mistake I built the .exe with the latest build of the framework I'm using which is not compatible with this game. I've reuploaded a fixed version, please try downloading this one and will work (savegames are compatible):

http://www.macgames.biz/games/PlanetStronghold-1.5.2.exe

(of course I'm also updating the download links from the main site). thanks for your feedback was useful!
