Hey Chiel, I just downloaded the newest version for me second route (Gunter), and I noticed that it is continuing to skip after choices are selected even though I have the setting set to stop skipping.
Edit: It's actually strange because it's not consistent. Sometimes it stops, and other times it don't. It's skipping more often than not.
Edit2: Now it is playing parts that are definitely not new without an option to skip. I'm on day 17.
Hi, KSR1! I've just checked and it's not happening to me x_x have you tried opening/closing the game? As reference, my setting is set at "SKIP AFTER CHOICE = 'Stop Skipping'" and "SKIP MESSAGES = 'Seen Messages'"
Usually, I skip by pressing 'ctrl'. If you're using the skip button, maybe that's the one causing trouble? But it's a default code from Ren'Py so... hmmm... another thing I can think of is: maybe Ren'Py is skipping so fast & your PC process things very smoothly, it sometimes failed to detect the choices and skips past them? 😅 This is such a confusing bug--I'll keep trying on my end, but honestly, I'm as confused as you are, KSR1!
Yes! If you skip by pressing the CTRL button, the game will still stop at choices & new sentences as long as you tick "Seen messages". When you stop pressing CTRL, it will also stop skipping!
The difference with the Skip Button is: If you clicked it (The skip button under the textbox), the game will continue to skip after you make a choice! You need to click the button once more to stop skipping!
W-wait a minute, KSR1, I've just discovered something!
If you're using the skip button, then yes, it will continue to skip after you make a choice! You need to click the button once more to stop skipping.
Also: if you tick "Seen Messages", the skip button will keep skipping until you encounter a sentence you haven't read. If you tick "All Messages", the skip button will keep skipping--eeven when you encounter things you haven't read before!
If this is the problem, then the solution I can give you is to skip by pressing CTRL button! If you stop pressing it the game will stop skipping too ^.^
Okay, I think I understand. Pressing the skip button essentially makes it skip any and all read text, so it will stop for me to make a choice, then after the choice start skipping again until it encounters unread text. Correct?
In order to make it stop skipping at the conclusion of a choice, I need to use CTRL instead of skip. Am I getting this right?
Correct, the skip button under the textbox continues until you click it once more to stop it! (It glows as an indicator that it's still working/functioning). You can still use this to see the conclusion of a choice, but it might be a bit tedious since you need to click to use & click it again to stop it.
Pressing CTRL is more convenient since you only need to lift a finger when you want to stop skipping ^.^
