I'm trying to "reset" the game back to the beginning, since the download has all the scenes unlocked already. I renamed the savegame to "back savegame" amd renamed the save folder to "back save", then manually saved the game after starting a new one. I also created a new folder called "save" so that the gallery data can get saved there.
The result is that gallery is still unlocked (nothing greyed out) but generates eternal script errors, Losing to an enemy generates ignorable script errors before proceeding to H, and H does not proceed to the post-H "defeated" CG (eternal "loading" screen")
I went through the first 12 pages of the thread, before asking, and I think we all know how useless searching is even before I admit I have no idea what term to use. They seem to confirm that my steps should have worked. Is there another place that unlock data is stored? Is there another way to clear all data... gallery, extra? Resetting the character herself is quite easy.
EDIT: After checking further, altering the save01, save01_1. and save01_01(1) files(etc) are probably the key. They're simple text files that contain the data "global.sex01=(number)" If anyone has a fresh, locked game, should the text file be blank, should the number be 0 or 1 or some other number?. The files themselves HAVE to be there, though.
EDIT EDIT: Downloaded the demo to check what the save files there say. They are all setting the value to 0. I will test this out, manually changing each file. It will take a while to test and report back.
Initial test looks good. Gallery and extra entirely locked, first attempt losing plays the proper animations, and properly adds them to the gallery and extra.
