As the title says.
A harem game about a man on an all-female spaceship. · By
I'll reply to myself by saying I see in the error logs Ren'py is looking for pngs.
In order to reduce the size of my game, I switched to webP. This fact is only present in the Mega versions (PC/Linux/Mac) and Android APK version of the game, so if you download the patch on top of this it will give you this error.
Rather than copy and paste I did a snip and sketch image. If you have a preference let me know. This occurred as soon as I exited the laptop for the first time. I just downloaded, btw, never had the tutorial either, it skipped it for some reason. This was the 64bit version, I will try the 32bit just for giggles. Nope, same bug.
So I have no idea how this could have happened.
When you start a new day, the day counter switches. The laptop sessions begin on day 3, and the day counter is supposed to be day 3.
The skipping of the tutorial is only for Android, is that the version you're using?
The only suggestion I can think of is to say, if you downloaded the game from Mega (PC/Mac/Linux) version, or if you're playing the Android APK version, you don't need to downloaded/apply the patch fix. Patching it will cause some issues for sure.
Hey Wildman, this is the PC version from Mega, no patch installed, won't run 32 or 64bit version, same error. After those failures I did try the patch, that just crashed it period. I deleted the whole thing, and re-extracted the game from the Mega download, same result, same skipped tutorial. My system is win 10 pro 64bit, threadripper2 with rtx2070 video and 32gb ram, zip file not apk.
https://file.io/VPEWyykDl90l - Replace the scripts.rpa file in your game folder and the bug should be fixed. In the mean time I'm reuploading the versions with the correction.
I believe this is similar to another issue someone else had - you're trying to load the laptop conversation with Skylar on Day 5 after you already spoke with her on the laptop, right?
That's a typo error, and I have a fix, but it's sorta challenging to do on Android without some knowledge/file manager app.
So I'd recommend just not clicking her again. You're not really missing out on anything by not re-having the conversation with her.
If you really want the fix file/explanation on how to install it, I'll provide the file/walk you through it, but again - there's no real benefit to doing so. It's easier/simpler to not click on Skylar again during the D5 laptop scene, as you don't miss out on anything.
This is caused by a dumb typo after persistent data is set.
Here's the file if you really want the fix, however you're not missing anything by just choosing not to talk with Skylar again on Day 5.
https://www.file.io/mowB/download/D1CN5dBAENKS - replace the scripts.rpa file in your game folder.
This is from a Day 3 bug with Haylee that I'm fairly certain is fixed on the Mega download/version of the game, though I could be misremembering slightly.
Essentially on the laptop, for day 3, after you get done talking to Ariel, Haylee comes online about 15 seconds later.
If you don't talk with her, the bug mistakes her for being online when she isn't. The fix to this, if it's not already fixed on the Mega version of the game, is to not try to message Haylee on day 5, as she isn't online that day anyway.
When you log off, it should be fixed for the next day.
I've looked through the images in the base release and am having trouble finding the image you're referring to.
There's a rare one you can get with the laptop, I'll post it below.
Is this the one you're referring to?
I photo edit everything, but that one escapes my memory. I think I removed like 70% of the Koi fish in the shot... maybe the hand thing got caught up in my editing?
Interesting. I can't remember it well enough to debate it, but I'll take your word for it.
This makes you the first person who's pointed a visual issue like this out.
Since you are, here's a look at the most edited image in the base release.
The finished version:
The unedited, messed up version:
Notice the main character's right leg is completely missing, among other things.
When you render 2k images, it's tough to make everything go perfectly, but I'm not complaining. It honestly makes me laugh when I see the image.
This one is strange, because I checked the files and that image is where it's supposed to be.
The Mega download is the most up to date version... is that the one you're using?
Only other thing I can think of is to reload the game and try again?
I have no idea... I could be missing something but like I said, I checked the script/image file... it's all there. It's weird.
It is indeed a strange one, maybe because of the OS, I thought of seeing an Chrome error, all open Chrome pages were closed after that, so I guess something memory and/or OS related... It all works now and I can't wait what you have in store for us on the next update...
Thanks for your nice response... Love your work....
Depending on which version you have of the game, there's an option to rename your character in the main menu.
I think that fixes the problem you're having. If not, you can download the Android patch fix (even if you're not playing on Android) and apply it, and then the option to rename your MC should appear on the main menu.
Alternatively if you play through the first day again (holding CTRL to skip through seen dialogue on PC) you can get to the part where you name your character super quickly, and that should also fix the issue, I think.
Indeed portgasdluigi, it's nice to see you on Itch.io.
It's a dumb typo that can be skipped with ignore, but it's fixed in the Patch script file on this page (for any version).
I don't use a spellchecker or grammar check at all, and like 99% of my writing is fine, but the one thing I typo? A variable. Of course...
I'm all over the place haha. Yeah I just clicked ignore so I could continue playing. I'm at the Day 11 flashback so I'm pretty close to finishing the update. Been loving it so far. I could go on and on with thoughts and theories but I should probably save all that for now. I might message you on Patreon about some of them if that's cool with you.
My laptop doesn't freeze I can still save the game and scroll up and down in the group chat just everything else on the in game laptop freezes so I have to select a save file and reload the game, i've tried restarting the game a couple of times and it doesn't change anything and yes it's the PC-Linux version.
I can tell what's happening but I'm trying to figure out what's causing it. Essentially I have a variable called inConvo that's being set for you, but I don't know why it would be.
So can you confirm you're:
1) Making a normal group chat comment beforehand. I.E. interacting with the group chat like a normal day.
2) Talking with Camila then X'ing out of her PM chat window right after you say "Will do, Camila." This part is important!
3) Clicking the group chat comment entry bar thingy at the bottom left of the screen to enter the comment Camila wants.
The last 3 messages from group chat (after you enter the message Camila wants should be:
mc: It's a confession, Ishani. I'm atoning for my actions of being a pervert. I love ALL OF YOU, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'RE NAKED! MWAHAHAHAHA!
Sasha: ...Let us all pray for him. Ishani, on your knees where you belong!
Ishani: ...And that's enough group chat for all of us, I think."
I am doing all three of those things and as the message Camiila wants me to send shows in the group chat that's when it all freezes and I can't click on anything. Nobody responds in the group chat and Camila doesn't PM and I have to reload the last save to continue past that point and not do what Camila asks.
That sounds like a corrupted/incomplete download, maybe? You could try re-downloading it.
You're the first person that's had this trouble, and I'm looking through Day 5's script files... I can't find anything that would cause that. If you were getting a specific error message I could more precisely look, but that isn't possible here.
I am having the same issue on my Mac. I tried it on the 1-11 free version and the 9-11 Elysium version and it only brings 1-11 when the game is booted. as far as "scripts.rpa" files to delete (not sure which one) there are three 3 Elysium_scripts.rpa endurance_scritps.rpa and game_scripts.rpa. It seems to be replacing necessary files otherwise but brings up the same version.
I'd recommend just playing around with it in-game for a few minutes, as writing text invites confusion.
It's been solved a bunch of times already, and as I'm looking at the solution right now, no rules are broken.
I may be misunderstanding your post, but in an attempt to preserve spoilers I'll say your 2nd logic point seems inaccurate.
Yeah doesn't make sense. Basically from the wording you have red, green, pink in the bottom row odd columns because: red and pink are in the corners of the same row, pink only appears on the bottom row, orange and blue have to be in the odd columns and you can't have orange on top of green except in an odd column. Basically the bottom row has to be r/p ? g ? r/p which then eliminates both blue and orange from being on the bottom row and pink can't be on the top row. Which gives you 3 colors that are single.
Right, I gave an example that was wrong in order to avoid spoilers, but the rules are still true.
R1C1 and R2C2 would be the same, just as R1C2 and R2C1 would be the same. <--- this is assuming the connected columns are 1 and 2, which I'm not saying is true because again, I'm not posting spoilers.
There's only one solution, so I'm surprised you're saying which corner pink and red belong in is moot. It's definitely not moot!
So this is a bug related to the free, not fully updated version.
https://file.io/neeog5JxByzI if you want, you can unpack then drop these files in your base game folder and it'll fix the issue.
There's also a bug on Day 11's laptop chat with Camila, if you chose her as your neighbor.
You made a comment and then deleted it when you saw the fix above, yeah? That same method works for Android, I'll post how to do it below.
You either need a file manager app or a PC for patching Android games, preferably a PC.
You need to navigate to my game's folder, it SHOULD be something like Android/data/com.wildmangames.strandedinspace.
From here, there MIGHT not be a "files" (without quotes) folder. If there isn't, create one. From within the "files" folder, create another folder (if it doesn't already exist) called "game" (without quotes). From within the "game" folder, you place the (unzipped) patch file: https://file.io/s60dGNiVS13v
And that should work.
https://www.file.io/SLSw/download/s60dGNiVS13v will fix it. And Day 8 on the laptop is the only time it occurs.
There's also a bug with Camila as your neighbor on the laptop on Day 11 - her picture won't save if you manage to get it, but it won't crash the game or anything.
I hope so I, I'd hate to miss out on anything else! Btw the scene in in Camila's bedroom, the back and forth between Tiffany and the MC, pure comedy gold! I seriously laughed so hard I had a coughing fit and cried a little. Oh btw, I'm not sure how far you've thought ahead for this, but I love Ariel and Lira. Please 🙏 for the love of God don't let either of them be the culprit. I don't want to influence you in any way, but my god that might break my already fragile heart. Oh and thanks for the quick reply, solution to said problem and heads up about the Camila pic.
https://file.io/OUuqbHI7NTeu should fix it - just replace in game folder and overwrite. Sorry this happened - it's a nightmare updating Ren'py, which is why this error happened. The paid version of Stranded in Space was made on Python 2.8 - the free version 3.0.
https://www.file.io/tjDG/download/ihEGZGClgLu3
Should fix your issues - replace/overwrite the game_scripts.rpa file in your "game" folder.
No error message. The game just closes. When I hit the button to see open apps, the window for the game is there, but when I tap on it the game reloads and takes me into the start menu. I think the issue is more likely with my tablet software because it happens with most of the visual novels I've played. Some not at all, some worse than others but thought I'd ask in case you were aware of the issue and what might be causing it.
By the way, great game. I'm downloading the windows version. Android is just more convenient to play on my tablet anywhere.
Thanks.

This one should fix it, I think? lol there might be some weird compatibility issues with the 1.3 version—if so, let me know.
So if you're using the free version (Days 1-13), the patch file provided will break the game.
If you downloaded the lightly compressed version of Days 1-16, you only need to extract those files and boot the .exe up from within.
If you downloaded the uncompressed files, the same thing is required - you just want to make sure you're on the right version of the game. This error occurs when the versions are mismatched.
Sorry to be a bother because I know itch dropped support and you probably don't want to spend much time fixing bugs on here anymore, but I downloaded the new free update days 1-17 (I previously bought the 1-16 Elysium edition) and decided to play through entire game again. I got all the way to day 15 and right as the laptop scene was supposed to start this error popped up. 
If you are able to guide me to a fix that would be awesome, but if not I totally understand. I hate that itch is doing this to so many wonderful creators such as yourself. No matter the outcome, I wish you nothing but success. Thank you again.
That error boggles me, Snoogans. And I don't often get boggled.
There's like some weird math overflow issue happening, and I think it's related to your picture album on the laptop maybe?
If you could find some time to message me via Discord I would be able to get to the bottom of this.
wildmandev is my Discord name—you could also join the server https://discord.gg/x4CJGcQW if you wanted.
Hey, did you post something in the Discord about this? It's strange that I've had a few people talk about it recently, otherwise.
So asea, in the context that the MC uses, he's asking if they're at sea.
Admittedly, it's a strange word to see written, lol.
Edit: However, there will likely be more than a few grammatical errors in the game. If you find any more, feel free to post them here and I'll take a look at them.
I feel like I've seen this issue before, but I don't think it's a problem with Stranded in Space, and instead it's something to do with the version of Ren'py I built SiS with. In other words, it's a Ren'py bug.
I'll look into it, but I'm not sure it can be fixed without me redownloading a new version of ren'py and building the android version again.
You'd navigate to where the app is in the folder and drop the game_scripts.rpa into the folder - overwriting the old one.
Navigation would be like: StrandedInSpace.app\Contents\Resources\autorun\game - and in that folder is the game_scripts.rpa for you to overwrite with the one from inside the patch file.
If I'm not mistaken. this is a rare mobile error that's an issue with Ren'py, and not Stranded in Space. The issue is fixed in the most recent, nightly version of Ren'py, but for me to download that and build Stranded in Space with it would likely not be a good idea. Unfortunately, aside from that, there is no fix.
It's funny you say that because part of my career has been testing software and after I posted, I thought, you know what? I bet there isn't supposed to be a conversation. Anyway, yes, I bypassed it without issue. Your game is pretty amazing by the way. Great story, interesting characters, each unique. I would like more "options" per say in certain situations but you (and whomeever) really put so much work into this I can't find fault. As I said in my reivew (which I only recently realized other people can't read) It is very humurous but also very touching at times. Lastly, as joke, remember what Vonnegut said, "Here is a lesson in creative writing. First rule: Do not use semicolons. They are transvestite hermaphrodites representing absolutely nothing. All they do is show you’ve been to college.” Anyway, great job, I wishlisted on Steam which I hope helps. Take care.
