Please post any errors or bugs you've encountered in version 3.0.5 here. This is for Windows only, as Mac isn't officially supported.
It will help out a lot if you mention the steps you performed before you encountered the bug as much as possible.
Hey first off, I want to apologize for uploading the game making the player start out with every item. This was unintentional and I fixed it soon after I realized it, but some people already downloaded the game with these settings and never updated the game.
The tutorial message appearing after every chapter was also fixed with the update, so be sure to keep your game up to date! If you don't like having all the items, you'd have to start a new game I'm afraid.
As for the clothing error, I guess I didn't properly patch it. I went through all the possible scenarios in which a player would hit the delete button of a piece of clothing (this deletes the image on your computer, permanently), but then immediately exit out of the game without saving. However, it should have saved right as you deleted it, but in your case, it still didn't. I need to do some more testing because I cannot trigger the error myself. I think, at this point, you are better off starting a new game entirely (due to you also having all items). But please, do make sure you update the game again, it's gotten many patches in the meantime.
Then again, perhaps you're not explaining it to me well. Did you delete the outfit in-game? Or did you actually browse to the location of your outfits in your local files, and then deleted the image in the folder? Which one is it?
Please do not exit the game unless you are in the main menu, or currently reading a chapter. This will avoid any saving errors.
Can you explain to me a little more how details aren't working though? What exactly is the issue?
Alright, it's dandy don't worry !
I understand althought it is a bit frustrating since I was so closed to finish the game but i guess that sometimes, you have to awaken the speedrun within and just skip everything.
Alright I see what the issues now.
And I have deleted the outfit in games. But it's a bit icky so lemme re-explained.
I first deleted the outfit in games, but then I had to quit the game then I had to come back. The outfit option then glitched. So I went to save files, to look around for a trashcan but I couldn't find it. I still kept playing the game up to chapter 26 where I was completely blocked because I couldn't change outfit. So I went back to the files to see if I could find the trashcan once more but not only I didn't find it, I also noticed another outfit has been deleted in spite of me never deleting another outfit.
Hopes that helps and see ya!
Thank you. I will try my best to replicate it again, as this obviously shouldn't be happening.
If you really want to keep playing on your save file, there is one way to fix the error, which is just a simple file missing error. All you have to do is find the location the error mentions, which is:
Tailor Tales > www > img > pictures > Fashion > Completed
Copy and duplicate any image in that folder, and rename it to the missing file the error mentioned. So if the error said it's missing the file "CLTH_00010.png" then you need an image in that folder with that name. The game should allow you to go into outfits when all missing files are there again.
Once you're in outfits, try and find the piece of clothing that was giving the error (it should be using the image you duplicated), delete it, then exit Outfit and save the game so you don't run into any errors again.
It worked ! Thanks!
Another issue that occured tho is during the credit.
Another files error, the missing file is Plus/Portrait/Caine which is a file I cannot find myself so ... Yeah it's very problematic but I guess that the game is over and I am not missing anything.
Thank for everything and good luck ! Also I would like access to the google doc so I can help you further.
Dimitri's route starts out when he's 13 years old, however, you mistake him as your own (which currently, would be 17). You meet Dimitri again when he is older (age 19), which is where the majority of the story takes place in, hence why his age is listed as 19!
Sorry for the late response!
This is a save file corruption error. You may be able to retrieve a back-up of your save file, but considering it's been 3 days, I'm going to guess you already started a new game (and thus, overwrote your back-up). Let me know if you didn't start a new game or not, because there's a chance we can still figure it out!
Yes, starting a new game, creating a new character, but NOT saving is STILL creating a new game (as soon as your create a character, the game autosaves and overwrites your current save file).
That's great to hear! Alright, follow these steps:
First, open the local files for your Tailor Tales. Find the folder you installed it to, and browse to this location:
Tailor Tales > www > save
In that folder, you should see several files. Your "file1.rpgsave" is corrupted at the moment. But there's two other save files in there, one is called "file2.rpgsave" which is your quick save (probably also corrupted?). And then there's "file3.rpgsave" which is your back-up file (it saves each time you enter the main menu). If file3 is also corrupted, then you're out of luck :(
Anyways, what you should do is rename "file1.rpgsave" to something else, call it "file1_corrupt.rpgsave" if you'd like. Then, rename your "file3.rpgsave" to "file1.rpgsave" so that the game will read this (backup) file when it tries to load your manual save file. That's all you need to do. Start the game and load your manual save file. And let's hope it works and doesn't show you the error.
If you still have the same error, I'm sorry, it seems all save files got corrupted (you can try loading your quick save though?), and you would have to start a new game. On the bright side, I added two cheat codes for you! If you enter the main menu and type in either "Neil" or "Dimitri" as the password when you click the gift button in the settings, it will unlock that character for you (including all CGs), so you don't have to replay them.
No such cheat exists for Caine though, sorry.
Please let me know if it worked!
I'm glad that ended up working out! Seems the back-up save file finally managed to be useful :)
Please avoid closing the game while its currently saving. This means any time you manually save, any time you enter the main menu, and any time you delete a piece of clothing, or exit out of Outfit. I'm unsure what exactly happened to cause your save file to become corrupted in the first place, but at least avoiding closing the game while it's saving should help!
I'm going to assume you are playing on a Mac OS then, because that's the only time it would throw up an error. Please refer to the Mac solutions/workarounds, it may work for you, but no guarantee.
Mac instructions:
Let Itch install the game for you. If you encounter an error when you try to create a character at the beginning of the game, please follow these steps:
- Click the Apple Icon in the top left corner.
- Go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Accessibility > and allow the game to take control of your computer (checkmark must be off)
- Play the game again
If that still didn't work, you can try out this:
- Locate the folder Tailor Tales\Game.app\Contents\MacOS
- Open up the game by clicking the file "nwjs". This should open the debug window as well, simply minimize it and play the game as normal!
