To be clear, you have an end-of-season save in the com.perveteer.tftuv directory ("Season_1" or "Season 1" followed by a string of alphanumeric characters) and copied it to the season 2 directory (com.perveteer.tftuv2)?

That end of season save is vital, because it gets imported into Season 2 when you first start playing. It's needed because it carries over all the choices you've made in the previous season. The need to have separate apps is partly to work around the 2GB file limit for applications on Android.

Is there a directory called RenPy_Saves in the Documents folder on your device (assuming you're also playing on Android)? If so, does it contain a folder called com.perverteer.tftuv containing at least one save file with the name Season_1 followed by a string of alphanumeric characters? The game creates this one automatically near the end of the first season.

I think i understand the issue now.

I had figured that any season 1 choices would be attached to my season 2 saves (such that directly transferring amy season 2 saves SHOULD inherenetly transfer the season 1 choices with them).

In reality the season 2 game has a series of save files, and what is essentially a season 1 STATE archive. Meaning when the game is running, every season 2 save simply looks at the season 1 state file to know what decisions you made. This certainly is smart from a optimization standpoint as otherwise you would need to append the season 1 state data to every single save, which would increase the file size for every save (taking up more storage space on your device).

The biggest confusion with this was that I was looking for a season 1 save file, but I shouldnt have any of those as i had deleted my season 1 data when getting the previous 0.15.1 to work. I did not know that this "save" (I prefer calling it "state") file was not neccesarily a save so much as it is a component needed for any other saves to function 

****(while it was a save... it functions as an attachment for further saves. You never edit this file or save over it, it is simply used by other saves, and thusly neccesary for the functionality of all other saves. ..).****

Sorry if my previous post had seemed aggressive. I was just flustered and grouchy because I REALLY hate working with files in Android haha. 

Looking back on your pinned help post for this update, its clear what you meant now. I think it would help though if you dont word it as transferring a season 1 save though. Perhaps adding a section for users transfering active season 2 saves (i didnt look far enough into the file you mention as it appears to be how to transfer season 1 files, but I wanted to transfer over season 2 files). You could say, "within your season 2 saves folder, there will be a file containing the state data from season 1. You must also copy this file along with your save". I think a big part of my struggle was thinking thr guide was written to help transfer your season 1 save over to season 2 which made no sense for me as I was not transfering from season 1 to season 2 but from season 2 to season 2


Or not, either way thanks for the time you spent on this and even more thanks for reading through this word vomit I just wrote!

Ah right, I get where you're coming from now. This is actually an issue that will be fixed in an upcoming version. The check at the beginning of the game is currently too strict, as it doesn't account for players who already have saves made in Season 2 stored on their device. The game's engine actually needs the Season 1 save only to import your progress, as soon as you make a new save based on that older data, it will store everything in the new saved game. So while the "saved state" concept makes sense, it isn't actually what's happening under the hood. v0.16 will have less stricter checks to allow people to play Season 2 with just their Season 2 saves.

As for the grouchiness regarding working with files in Android, I can wholeheartedly relate. ;) Fixing this issue was a very painful mental experience, to say the least.

Have you installed the very latest version of Season 1 and ran it at least once on your device? Is the RenPy_Saves/com.perverteer.tftuv folder present in Documents?

Reply

The version that I have is the 0.12.1 so I'm not sure which one is the latest

Reply
Perverteer287 days ago

That's not the latest version. Please download v0.12.6, install it and run it at least once. That should copy over the save files to the directory.
