There are a few issues that happen with files: did you unzip the whole kit to work with the files (you cannot upload a password-protected zip)? did you recreate the game.zip file when you changed the sprites? did you remove the unzipped game folder from your files? did you make sure you didn't have several subfolders in the main zip file?

1: yes, I unzipped it and then zipped it again without password. 2. We didn't modify the sprites. But should I unzip game.zip anyway? 3. Which one is the unzipped game folder (the one from question 2?) 4. I'll try removing the ones I find.

There is a game.zip file inside the not-enough-time-LocJam-103.zip file - it contains among other things 1 image which is part of the game's plot. You don't have to unzip it, but you will need to write around it (in reference to the album title in t[196]) although that wouldn't get in the way of finishing the game.

When you zip up again the main folder let's say [not-enough-time-LocJam-103], the first folder you see should be [not-enough-time-LocJam-103], and in it are the game files - if there is any other layer it will break the game.

PS: if you keep having issues please consider making your game files available so I could look at them directly!

Ok, so I have no extra folder that could break the game and I only modified the credits and translated files. I will really appreciate your help, Gnou. https://drive.google.com/file/d/12T2nOI3BBUgqiw4YE7hm7y9wuER3HzoY/view?usp=shari...

OK you're missing the timing info - you can copy them from English LUA file but the the first line in your LUA should be

local t = {}

and the last line should be

return t

Also in the syntax there is

t[95] = "… Qué enredo". 

Make sure the period is inside the quotation marks!

t[125] = "¿Quién eres?
...
t[390] = "¡Adiós, Inés!

make sure you close the quotation marks!

I think it was that, Gnou. One of my teammates got the game running. Thank you so much for your help; we really appreciate it. c: 

no problem!

Hi, Gnou, how could you spot the missing quotations? I also get the black screen

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/14zEMgnlb-7dZEAO0rTgsu-vliTYq30tJ?usp=sha...

Missing an opening quotation mark before the ¿ at

t[277] = ¿Qué necesitas para arreglar el dispositivo?"

Hi Gnou, I'm at my wits end here, can you please check my segments as well? https://drive.google.com/file/d/1k_W1UMXHAL5of5Md5X1Rpa_1YiTMM3KV/view?usp=shari...

I'm on Akemi's team by the way so it's the same if you check this or hers, for this one, I specifically used 7zip though I had to extract that to upload it to Drive

this file is fine - your problem is elsewhere! 

easiest / fastest fix would probably be downloading a fresh batch of the translation kit and only replacing the lua files and 2 images!

hi, gnou! sorry for the short notice, but could you please look at my files as well?

t[520] = "...incluso estas mismísimas paredes le pertenecieron a LA BANDA."" 

There are two closing quotation marks at the end of this line!

thanks! let's see if that fixes it! by the way, is the credits formatting okay?

It works, but it could be prettier:

Mariana Bermúdez\nMaría Eugenia Cortez\nCarla Di Biase\nFlorencia Ferrando\nChristian Luciani\nCeleste Santa Cruz

I think the problem lies in extracting the folder and the password. Is this the correct order?

>open translation kit

>open game.zip inside, inputting password

>extract all of the translation kit to a new folder

>modify files

>make a new zip out of this new folder

>upload

did I miss something? Even after opening the game.zip it'd show up as encrypted for me

(1 edit)

the password should be on the translation kit, not the game.zip file...

order should be

>extract all of the translation kit to a new folder, inputting password

>modify LUA files

>open game.zip inside, no password

>modify image files

>make new game.zip file, no password

>delete /game folder

>make new zip out all the files, no password

>upload

Ok, it doesn't ask for a password when I open the translation kit, so how do I input it? It only does so after I try to open a file inside of it

well the password only needs to be entered when you extract files, not when you simply open the archive... you need to extract all files to start with, then work on the extracted files

Hello! Have you dealt with the issue? Because I have the same problem(
