[ Life Lessons DX ] - an expanded and enhanced version of Life Lessons

[vividcolour]

Likewise, Achievements don't want to stick around once I turn off the game.

I've noticed that achievements work for me because I am using RPG Maker's "test" function, where they persist. Once deployed, or playing the game standalone, they don't persist.

I did try updating Node.js - one of the core systems of RPG Maker MV (since there is a way to do this unofficially) in case that helped, but it didn't make any difference.

For the record, achievements should "save" right after each one pops up, since it is triggered manually (the plugin offers two options - manual or checking every x seconds... the latter never worked right for me, so it checks now manually after each popup.

I have no idea why date and time don't show; it is set up to display those using the plugin defaults. EDIT: I changed the case from <date> to <Date> and it showed the right date for me now! The plugin instructions say it isn't case sensitive...

I am talking to the creator of the achievement plugin being used, but I think it's going to take a fair while to fix the achievements issue, so I have two choices: remove them from the game for now (i.e. disable the screen and popups) or leave it as is but just know that you'll lose progress when you exit the game.

As much as I want to fix this, I don't have the time or energy right now to devote to something I have no idea why it's broken (since it's based on code I didn't write, not my own work) when I would rather spend that adding and finishing the game's content. Thoughts?

EDIT: I can confirm, Achievements.json doesn't get updated when I play by double-clicking "Game.exe". When I use the RPG Maker MV editor's "Test Run" feature to play on my own PC, Achievements.json *does* get written to when an achievement is earned.

I probably should have mentioned during testing, but did not know what the intended features were in terms of them persisting or not.



From a gameplay perspective, it does not affect anything. The achievements are still nice to see what you have accomplished in a run.

I like the achievement system because it gives you different things to look for every playthrough.

I agree that it's not worth spending too much of your time debugging other's code.

Possibly enhance the game over screen to list the achievements you managed that playthrough, and show a hint for finding something you missed?

Sadly achievements still disappearing after i shut down the game

Fixed it but it required 2 hours of my time. And messing with some of the MV default .js files, more specifically rpg_managers.js. I added another function. It required changing SMO_Achievements.js and rpg_managers.js . Until I realized what's wrong.


Change part of the file SMO_achievements.js
from this

SMO.AM.saveGlobalAchievements = function() {
    var achievs = JSON.stringify(SMO.AM.GlobalAchievements);
    var fs, path;
    fs = require('fs');
    path = 'data/Achievements.json';
    if (fs.existsSync(path)) {
        achievs = btoa(achievs);
        achievs = 'S' + achievs;
        fs.writeFileSync(path, achievs);
    }
   
 }

to this and it should work

SMO.AM.saveGlobalAchievements = function() {
    var achievs = JSON.stringify(SMO.AM.GlobalAchievements);
    var fs, path;
    fs = require('fs');
    path = 'www/data/Achievements.json';
    if (fs.existsSync(path)) {
        achievs = btoa(achievs);
        achievs = 'S' + achievs;
        fs.writeFileSync(path, achievs);
    }

}

Please tell it to plugin creator.

I suppose it won't work in test mode from RPGMaker after that, but it should work in exported Game.exe .

File can be found at "Life Lessons DX\www\js\plugins\SMO_Achievements.js" . Relevant part starts at the line 1983 in notepad++



At least it was fun Poor Ali washed a lot of laundry again.

 

I got a fresh save file right after shower so it was

Open Game. Load Save. "Left arrow key" "Enter",

Did achievements save? Nope. Close the game.
Mess with the files again.

Rinse and repeat.
PS:Jen lost 4 to 0 in the spanking department. 5 to 0 with the candy wrappers right after shower. Poor girl.

ok i just have to ask. I tried for nearly two hours to get a scene you mentioned.I put mums hairbrush on jens bed and hid her sexy panties under it. but nothing happens. can you give me a hint please?

[Canth]

You only got there via debug mode, right? It's unfinished content.

I initially got there via visiting the staff room. Basically, once I did that and poked around at stuff, the vent gets mentioned and then I can access it. So, I figured it was unfinished content, but I have messed up enough other times when it's a timing issue that I figured it couldn't hurt to ask.

Thank you for the hints! I had done everything but the very last step. It didn't even occur to me.

Ok. Spoiler alert.

 

Activate Debug mode by talking to the plant in the right corner of the hallway.

Start a new game.

Take your homework and rummage through the things. You should get the toy and 10$. Pick up your mobile. Save here, make save number 1.

Open inventory and activate your homework. Print both the missing homework page and fake punishment slip for Jen. Also check email for the hell of it.

Go to Jen's room. Wardrobe, bottom, take sexy panties but do nothing with them. Right wardrobe, hide her math homework. Table, bottom drawer, take eraser. Erase one of her chores from the notebook.

Go to mom's room. Take the hairbrush (or not, this just changes whether she gets hairbrush for the math homework or the belt), but check yourself in the mirror. Remove eraser dust from your sleeve.

Rummage through mom's handbag, take the money, go back to Jen's room and put it behind Jen's teddy bear. You can leave the hairbrush here too.

Go downstairs. Leave the punishment slip on the table. Sit for breakfast. That's two spankings for Jen.

At this point, you would be late for school if you were not in debug mode and get a paddling with Spencer paddle with holes from the vice-principal.

But because you are in debug mode, go to fire hydrant, see that you can loosen the seal. See the dollar on the ground but not pick it up. Talk to the neighbor, distract him. Open his toolbox, take the wrench, go back to the hydrant. Talk to Jen. She should get wet and be late for school, so she will now get punished by the vice-principal. Wait for the bus.

But, because you are in debug mode, you won't be late for school.

Now, during the second class (Not the first one. Jen is late and she is not in the first class. She is at vice principal's office instead. You should go there during first class to hear her spanking), ask to be let out for bathroom. Buy two snacks from the vending machine. Save once more, make save number 2.

Either go back to the class, for 5 0, or go into classroom next door and say: No, I am not your student.

Then Yes I need something. And give Jen the snack for 6:1, because you both get paddled. It is important that you don't give message for Jen at principal's office. At this point. You can do it during another playthrough.

If you don't give her a snack and go back to class, just sit and wait. You have done your homework, Kelly didn't get in trouble, go home.

Talk to your sister, just don't tease her. Jen will try to tell the truth but mom will interrupt her, saying that she found stolen money in Jen's room. At this point she got spanked 4 times (two times at home, two times at school, for missing math homework and tardy).

Go to the bathroom, wash your teeth and take a shower. Make another save, save number 3.


You can either put the clothes in the washing machine or not, just don't put sexy panties on the floor, else you get spanked.

Go listen at the door of Jen's room. She is getting spanked harshly (number 4 or 5 at this point). Leave the wrappers at the door. Read magazines from the bookshelf. Go to your room, have a victory snack from your inventory, make another save (save number 4). Get dressed into pajamas.



Go to bed. Jen gets spanked again and earns maintenance spankings the first of every month.

Poor Jen!
Go to sleep.

Now, you can also get spanked at home, either once or twice. Load save number 4 and play puzzler video game with cheats. You get one spanking then.




If you want two spankings, load save number 3, don't put clothes in the washing machine and put sexy panties on the floor.


Listen at Jen's door, either put the snack or not.


Again, play video games (you'll get a spanking) then get dressed for bed. In the middle of the night, mom will wake you up, spank you for the sexy panties (doesn't matter what you say, you are trouble making older sister, Jen is a good girl and she would NEVER wear such panties). And give you some extra for the clothes on your floor, because she is not your maid to clean after you.

That's it, you are done.

Version 1.3 is now uploading... hopefully this FINALLY fixes the achievement bug. A HUGE thanks to Youngstormlord for finding the bug in the SMO_Achievement plugin. I can't believe it turned out to be a path issue!

Also, @youngstormlord, that *spoiler* is an epic effort of injustice for poor Jen! It made me laugh out loud reading that and smirk at how evil Ali could be! Is that the maximum spankings you can earn Jen? I don't remember; I kept track of the different ones you and she can earn but don't think I ever did a maximum total for either.

@dirtiferdi There is currently no way to get Jen in trouble by placing mom's hairbrush in her room, since Jen will always find and replace it in the afternoon. Eventually, I am hoping to allow you an "extra" segment of time at home where you can get home before her and set that up, but right now all you can do with the brush is keep hold of it and either get you or Jen in trouble if mom tries to use it on either of you but it is still in your inventory.

Note to all midnight snackers... yes, eventually I plan to have Ali able to be caught snacking but right now it's a victory snack indeed! You have another (IMO, even yummier) option besides candy if you can find/get it, though...
