Hello all,

I could use your help.
In most RenPy games, I go into the scripts and tweak the dialogues a bit. I correct spelling or grammar mistakes or spice up the dialogue a bit so it's sexier and more appealing to me.

Usually this works fine, but not in this game.
As soon as I change even one word in the script I get the following error:


error: Error -3 while decompressing data: incorrect header check

-- Full Traceback ------------------------------------------------------------

Full traceback:
File "renpy/bootstrap.py", line 274, in bootstrap
renpy.main.main()
File "renpy/main.py", line 425, in main
renpy.loader.index_archives()
File "renpy/loader.py", line 261, in index_archives
index = handler.read_index(f)
File "renpy/loader.py", line 133, in read_index
index = loads(zlib.decompress(infile.read()))
error: Error -3 while decompressing data: incorrect header check


Anybody have an idea how I can work around this?

Appreciate your help :)

Regarding to this, it would be wiser if you reach out to the dev on discord and ask there. :)

What does chapter 1 or 2 mean? I've played 0.6 a long time ago. Was that chapter 6?, so the rework is at chapter 2 of 6?, or is that not how these numbers work? That would be slightly depressing IMO.

0.6 was indeed up to chapter 6 and the rework is now at chapter 2.

It's been entirely reworked since then. Chapter 2 is basically still near the beginning of the old version. Despite the high render count, it's still very much in the early phases of the game. The MC has still only just arrived at his parent's house in the rework. TBH this entire chapter didn't really push the plot forward at all, it's still in the character introduction phase.

Sooo, we are basically still "Where It All Began" ? :LOL:
Not playing until it catches up to chapter 6 or 5 or wichever chapter already had the new story content.

Never understood why a dev works on 2 games at once and then doubles update time for each. Pick one and stick to it until it's done before starting another one, unless you are a god that is already cranking out big updates every month on one. 2 updates a year (or less) for a particular AVN sucks, for multiple reasons, but the main one to me being if it takes 10 years to finish it's probably never going to see the finish line with all the reworks mid-story (Daz improves quite a bit over the span of 2-3 years).

If Ocean downgraded the quality down to the average VN, we could get updates every month.
But I dont think anyone wants that, considering its what makes his VNs unique.
