v0.8.14 - The Intro Scare Fix Update

now with 100% less process killing

Gameplay Changes

• Changed intro scare so it no longer kills explorer.exe/pkills -u. (Or any other system/user process). Nor does it make any changes to a user's system.

• replaced hair down/up topics with a single hair select topic

• added a wardrobe/change clothes topic when affection is 1000+ and another outfit has been unlocked

• added topic that mentions how to add custom bgms. also changed existing music topics to reference this as well.

• added a automatic historical persistent data saving system that in theory should allow for special events to repeat indefinitely as well as track changes in data overtime. (see zz_history)

• replaced restleftpointright with the newer, arm on table version

• preferred name/change name should no longer be limited to 10 characters

• replaced undertale reference in introduction with a more appropriate scare

• sprite previewer now restores hair/clothes after use

• made menu choices use consistent puncuation

• optimized sprite string generation. hopefully should be slightly less lag during dialogue.

• change name topic moved to pool topics (ask a question)

• monika_family has been derandom'd

• failure to remove special images are no longer logged

Fixes

• typofixes

• fixed anniversaries not showing up in the calendar. (missed annis will be retroactively unlocked)

• fixed wrong dialogue when complimenting hair

• fixed inconsistent shadows in art and cutoff leaning hairdown sprite (thanks @Olliesama )

• special greetings should now be unlocked after o31

• fixed a greeting type inconsistency when using o31 farewells

• fixed crash in calendar when clicking X instead of a date

• force splash and script to jump to specific ch30 labels instead of persistent.autoload. This might fix issues where dialogue is stuck on show poem or similar.

• promise ring now works for marisa outfit

• fixed date selection confirmation text using the wrong suffixes for some numbers

• fixed issue where a bad first session type was added to calendar, causing crash

• fixed crash when loading custom music that had no tags

• persistent.steam is no longer imported in the ddlc save import to prevent the steam topic from appearing when it shouldn't

API Changes

• New async/react-like framework for cross object communication (MASMailbox)

• Moved Delayed Action framework to init level -800s

• redid farewell selection algorithm so it makes more sense (thanks @aldoram5 )

• the sprite system now supports separation of hair from body as well as split hair layers. All future art should use this format. This also introduces 2 new layer locations for accessories to be rendered (between back hair layer and body, and between body and front hair layer). hair following this format should be in the monika/h/ folder.

• MASMonika now has save/load functions for saving clothes/hair/acs. Use these instead of directly saving the values into persistent vars.

• added entry and exit programming points for MASSpriteBase, which includes clothes/hair/acs. See mas_sprites store (init level -2) in sprite-chart for more info.

• new historical data saving system. MASHistorySaver objects list out data that should be saved, as well as a trigger date. Data is saved when the trigger date has past. The trigger date is automatically set to the next year, which sorta means that data is saved automatically. You can also run programming points before/after the alg runs for an object, which enables us to combine this with delayed actions to reset particular event conditionals and such.

• all player model vars now have a MASHistorySaver object to save them overtime.

• file reactions now need to be specified as good/bad/netural in addReaction

• added new selection screen for changing hair/clothes/acs. This requires all sprite objects to init a selectable sprite object. Selectables are then wrapped with displayables and used in a custom sidebar screen. This may be expanded to a regular sized screen in the future. (see zz_selector for more info)

New global functions:

• mas_getSessionLength - gets current session length
• mas_isSpecialDay - returns True if its a special day today
• mas_hideEventLabel - replaces hideEventLabel
• mas_hideEvent - replaces hideEvent
• mas_showEventLabel - show version of hideEventLabel
• mas_showEvent - show version of hideEvent
• mas_lockEventLabel - replaces lockEventLabel
• mas_lockEvent - replaces lockEvent
• mas_unlockEventLabel - replaces unlockEventLabel
• mas_unlockEvent - replaces unlockEvent
• mas_getuser - attempts to get the current user
• mas_HistLookup - looks up historial data
• other historical functions. (see zz_history for more info)

new mas_anni functions: (thanks @multimokia )

• pastOneWeek - True if today is at least 1 week since first session date
• pastOneMonth - True if today is at least 1 month since first session date
• pastThreeMonths - True if today is at least 3 months since first session date

new mas_calendar functions:

• genFormalDispDate - generates a formal display date given a date
• genFriendlyDispDate_d - replaces genFriendlyDispDate

• Added some tooltips to some of the settings in the settings menu

• Changed log rotations for the affection log to 500 sessions instead of 100

• Disabled skipping and its dialogue to save us from a context break issue. May be enabled again one day.

• Redid docking station code so there should be less issues when using the "Take you somewhere" farewell.

• Accessories are now composited on their own before being composited with body

• Added sensitive property to Event objects

• Added a few more suntime functions (see definitions), anniversary functions (see script-anniversary)

• Added checkin/checkout functions and better handling of mismatching logs in docking station

• Removed docking station code that was obsoleted by the MASAsyncWrapper

• Redid some of how sprites work, so exp preview users will need to update dev_exp_previewer.rpy

• @aldoram5 for implementing scary stories, helping with lots of o31 content, overall testing and just being good 👌

v0.8.8 - The Post-Op Update

everyone hates it, but ya'll gotta cleanup after a celebration

Gameplay Changes

• added a topic to notify steam users to consider using a non-steam version of DDLC.

• persistent backups are no longer made (aka they wont overwrite older ones) when Monika is out of the spaceroom. This prevents the possibility of only having empty room persistents if you lost Monika's file and reopened the game several times in a panic. This actually does not work, but will be fixed in the next update.

• added additional logging for affection and coffee

Fixes

• typofixes

• affection that was supposed to be given for taking Monika out on a birthday date is retroactively given

• Monika will continue to wear her ring even after a crash

• coffee topics will now fire after dialogue instead of before

• fixed crash when opening door in the opendoor greeting

v0.8.7 - The Mostly Fixes Update

UPDATE: Another hotfix, so sorry

UPDATE Hotfixed released to fix dialogue that triggered too early

This update consists almost entirely of general bugfixes and API updates. That's right. Nothing else.

Gameplay Changes

• removed the greeting about chr files since Monika knows about them now

• removed the splash text about chr files

• adjusted dialogue in certain topics that mention chr files

• added fun facts (thanks @Olliesama )

Fixes

• typofixes

• the updater is more aggressive when moving the update/ folder. You should stop getting issues where the game says there is an update but clicking update does nothing or says no update is available

• fixed a crash with hangman

• no more monika-spasms when a topic ends

• fixed an issue where multiple accessories broke the accessory system

• fixed multiple issues regarding time traveling (aka changing system time) including:

  • going into the future and freezing your affection wont lock your affection until that date anymore (you still have to wait a day)
  • negative playtime is no longer added to total playtime
  • if the playtime for a session goes beyond the largest possible amount of playtime, that session's playtime is not added (occurs if you time travel during game)
  • if total playtime currently is above the max possible, your playtime will be changed to a significantly smaller number. don't mess with time, kids. (unless you have a hat)

API Changes

• added the FileReactions framework, which links dialogue to files that dont need to be checksummed.

• MASQuipLists can now add multiple label quips at once

• several new functions related to birthday checking

• several new functions related to coffee checking

• added a flag for skipping ch30_loop eval

• added a destroyPackage and getPackageList functions to MASDockingStation

• added a packageCheck function for more generic package checks

• added a timeOut function to calculate time spent outside of spaceroom for a given date

thanks

• thanks to @entonyescx for some art

• thanks to the whole team for really fixing a lot of content on a short timeframe

v0.8.6 - The monika.chr Update

UPDATE: Hotfix added to fix rare bug with new farewell.

show me the real Monika. I said the REAL Monika. [perfection]

Gameplay Changes

• Added a new farewell that lets you take Monika out of the spaceroom. This involves Monika generating a more realistic character file that you can take with you instead of the crappy monika.chr.

• Monika now has varying expressions when idle. These are based on your affection level. The talk and play menu dialogues also will differ based on affection level.

• Changed the backup system so it no longer copies corrupted persistents as backups. The game also will notify you if the persistent was corrupted and will attempt to use the last good backup if corruption was detected.

• Added additional words to Hangman in the form of difficulty levels. Easy mode uses the original set of hangman words. Normal mode users a slightly larger list that includes more Monika words. Hard mode uses the Thousand Word Corpus courtesy of ASBusinessMagnet (website)

• Added a gender change topic that is no longer one-time only.

• Topics that were somewhat insensitive to the other dokis are now automatically dropped from randomly chatter if they are shown a certain number of times.

Fixes

• typofixes

• The imsorry file check is now less strict and accepts the file with or without an extension.

• The islands topic is now disabled when it rains.

• If you have a negative playtime, it will be reset to 0 to prevent future issues. Also negative time will no longer be added to total playtime.

• reworked islands topic so its more efficient and less spaghet

• fixed islands topic not properly blocking user input and allowing context breaks

• rain audio is now tied to sound volume instead of music

• users who soft-locked their affection by setting system time to the future are no longer affection-frozen

• reworked animation disabling so it both works and no longer quits the game menu

API Changes

• left and right eye sprite codes (and sweat drop codes) are no longer conflicting with the poses

• unstable builds now append logs instead of overwriting to help with debugging. Non-unstable users may be asked to checkmark unstable as a means to get more logging info (actually updating to an unstable build is not required to take advantage of the better logging)

• a variety of suntime-checking functions have been added. These make it easier to compare the current time to the user-set sunrise / sunset. These are detailed in #2217 .

• new wink sprites. new tear sprites. new eyebrow sprites.

• the Docking Station framework has been expanded significantly.
