Yes you need to go in the save game directory and delete everything in it, for the location of savegames check this thread: http://www.winterwolves.net/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=2971

Sorry if I ask but I am not sure exactly about the bug, is like if you cast the fireball or the earthquake you only see the first animation frame and then it stops? or something else?

I got rid of all of the RenPy-related files I could find. Sadly, it didn't solve the problem.

See the the puff of smoke hitting the enemy on the left? On the first hit, the explosion animation works like it normally does. However, if it hits the 2nd time, it will stay on first frame until the the following shot. The pattern will "reset" on a miss.



For a visual demonstration, let's say 6 shots are fired in a turn

When I revert back to the 1.5.2 version the problem disappears.
jack1974
Haha lol I thought we were talking about Loren (but you posted in the right forum, is my fault) so I actually checked Loren and not this game! Will look at it now :lol:
jack1974
I think I fixed it, updated the downloads in the first post (using zip with all OSes since is faster to build) and the thread title :)
Jaeger
Thank you. It has been fixed. I'll play it some more to see if I can find any more anomalies.
jack1974
Thank you for finding out. When testing new builds I was always clicking to skip the shot so I never noticed the different behavior! :)
Jaeger
Are the Dredan Soldiers' Holy Sword attacks supposed to be unavoidable? The messages that flash during battle sometimes say they missed, but they still reduce one of my party members' current health 1/2. It was something I noticed since the 1.5.2 version, but I forgot to mention it.



I'm on Chapter 5, everything seems to be okay so far.
jack1974
No you were right, even when they missed they would still do the damage (the holy sword and also phasor blast). Funny how in all those years I didn't notice (and even other players!!) :mrgreen:

Version 1.5.5 is uploaded!
Jaeger
Just how old is this game? Either way, I appreciate the fact that you are still provide support for it.



Anyways, I have another bug to report. This bug actually existed in the previous versions as well. When entering and exiting the various locations on the map screen, sometimes the text overlap.

I'm not sure exactly what triggers it, but sometimes the previous description on the map doesn't disappear when highlighting another location.
jack1974
The game was first released in March 2011 :lol:

But I kept updating it when I can, like I do with all my games (not too often otherwise I can't release new games).

The bug you found is a "tooltip bug", will check it, is due to very old coding technique I used in that game.
Jaeger
Now the that 1.5.5 is "live", I'm sorry to say that animation bug that I reported earlier has appeared again. It appeared that everything was alright when I tried the all OSes version you had earlier. Since I have Windows 7, I naturally downloaded the Windows version.



1) pressed shift+G to to change settings

2) all saves were deleted

3) restarted the computer

4) checked for updates of Direct X
jack1974
I think might be a bug related to your videocard, looking also at the graphic bug you posted in the Vera Blanc forum!

edit: no I just tried again here and still happens indeed. I think at this point is some obscure incompatible change of the newer Ren'Py versions (I started that game in 2010 when the framework I use was VERY different from now). If I have time will fix it, but first will concentrate on getting the new games out :?
Miakoda
I got Planet Stronghold recently and ran into a few minor bugs. These aren't game crashing or anything, and may not be worth your time.



1. Going the Cliff/Shiler route, Cliff kept referring to me as Joshua, though I was playing Lisa.



2. I was romancing Michelle, and then was able to romance Tom Shatz (but overriding Michelle's). However, it did prevent the Damian Vargas romance from going forward. Furthermore, it did give the Tom ending text, but not Michelle's.



3. It failed the Submit the Soldiers Quest for King Rock, although I did have Rumi and Jacob not in the party. In fact, I beat King Rock, but it still kept the quest going.
jack1974
Hmm let's see:

1. oops you're right, I have checked. I've fixed this so on next update will be fine :)

2. yes you can romance multiple people until a certain "cut-off" point. When you advance too much in one romance it becomes your only one. No harem endings! so this is not a bug

3. for this one I am not sure how it could happen, should get a savegame to check!
Miakoda
1. Oh, I wasn't expecting to get a Harem ending. I apologize if I didn't give a little more info. I was able to unlock Michelle's picture for her romance, but was still able to proceed with Tom's afterward, unlocking his in the same game. I thought that continuation was a bug.



2. For the Submit the Soldiers quest, I do have a save after the incident where it still is counting down the quest (with King Rock still beaten). I can send it if you wish.
jack1974
1. Ah yes in that case normally you shouldn't be able to! Not sure how you managed to get that ending!

2. Sure, see here how to send a savegame: http://www.winterwolves.net/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=2971
Miakoda
Sometimes games just can get a minor glitch/bug. No big deal. Truth be known I think that is also what happened with the Submit the Soldiers quest. Anyways, its not like I need a fix or anything, but if you can puzzle out what happened, you might fix it for a future Planet Stronghold version.



Heh, at least Cliff referring to Lisa as 'Joshua' was easily dealt with ;)
jack1974
Yes and the fact that you're the only one reporting it should mean that are rare bugs (at least I hope :lol:).

I need to finish Nicole game for next week so won't take a look immediately, as you said is more for my own curiosity to see why that happened. thanks
Miakoda
Heh, and I eagerly await Nicole's release (though I admit, I am going to wait for the yuri version, and get both versions then).



But it does you great credit that you still do fixes on older games.
jack1974
So uhm, for reasons that will become apparent in a month or so (can't say more now), I updated this game so it has its own soundtrack as well. It's the music that was supposed to be in PS2, but had to change it quickly, so I used that. Obviously a new one is being remade for PS2, by the same musician who did Loren new soundtrack!

I've updated the Strategy Guide to include this, and also the bundle base game+bonus content, so those who bought them can still use the same download links to get the new OST. In practice what before was only the PDF will become a .zip with the music too :)

I didn't change the version number since the only change is the new music.
