A hell of a trip you did, wow!
I guess most users would have just give up like "f***, it doesn't work!" and never gave it another chance.
After I started the tease for the first time, there were instructions to drag and drop the install folder onto the screen. I tried this over and over. My computer wouldn't let me. It wouldn't work. Maybe there is some setting which wouldn't allow me to do that, but ... I just have a typical Windows 10 install, so ... Perhaps add some instructions about what to do if the drag and drop doesn't work?
Did you had any picture on the screen while you was prompted to drag and drop? (If yes, what kind of picture?)
Or wasn't there any picture because of all that other trouble with file-paths and such?
Anyway, I've looked it up (quickly this late eve) and I guess I have to add that feature to some more places, ... will be in the next update of Awakening.
(So most probably it's not about any settings or Windows 10).
but ... then I decided what the software wanted was just the file tree address and typed that in manually ... and that worked!
Yepp, basically it works more or less like the @InputVar[X] command.
My install was F:\TeaseAIAwake\Scripts\SuccubiHunter", and there was a SuccubiHunter\System\Variables folder in it ... HOWEVER ... that was NOT the actual location of my save ... I cleared out that folder, but that did NOT render a full reset;
[...]
I remembered from my previous experience with TeaseAI (which is limited), that the saves are kept in an hidden folder under the user's profile (or something) ... So, I had to go to "C:\VTRoot\HarddiskVolume5\TeaseAIAwake\Scripts\System\Variables" and clear out THAT folder (bear in mind, the VTRoot folder is normally "hidden" in Windows, so ... if you have some computer neophyte, they might never be able to find it ...) ... and THAT gave me the full reset I needed ...
Tai Awakening ITSELF does not save ANY data OUTSIDE the installation folder of it, period.
This was something which was important to me right from the first line of code I have written, so it does not save something to any hidden place on your PC, it's designed and coded 100% portable.
But what I cannot control or take care of is if some third-party software mess up your PC and the locations in which things are stored.
Now before your post, I have never heard anything about a 'VTRoot' folder before, ... a quick google search revealed i.e. this:
https://steamcommunity.com/discussions/ ... 248066054/
There are a lot of other results when searching for 'VTRoot', just give it a try and you might come to the conclusion to use another Anti-Virus software instead.
Specify explicitly that it wants the folder for the "TeaseAIAwake" installation.
Don't get me wrong, ... I am really happy that new stuff and content shows up, but I was critical about the way content and media is placed in this right from the start.
Most of all that trouble could have been avoided if the relative given paths and folders would have been used, and I hope that one day it will be updated to be better organized and uses the given structure, like YourInstallFolder/Video/SuccubiHunter, ... YourInstallFolder/Images/SuccubiHunter and so on.
I played for like 6 hours so far, and the game hard crashed on me 4 times. Each time it did so, it stopped responding completely, froze, and the cursor turned into that spinning blue ring ... after I a while, Windows would give me the message that the program had stopped responding and asked if I wanted to close it...
I have already suggested to meowww to reencode the videos, this might or might not help on that issue.
If that not helps, ...
@ SuccubiHunterRPG:
Could you put those 'critical' parts of those scripts which FattsDynamo had problems with (crashes) together, so I could test them through and look them up for possible problems?
(Maybe it's just a usage of commands which I didn't had in mind while creating what could lead to those problems, ... if that's the case I would like to try to make that more fail-safe!)
Best greetings,
Markus
