ROM Hack [WIP] Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns - True Love Edition Patch

[Silrae]

My character is single, it only seems to occur with the guys on occasion.
I haven't tested if the female side of same gender bachelors have this problem.

I'm on the current 4.0 patch.

What it means when you get ellipses when talking to a character is that I messed up while writing the scripts and the game is trying to call dialogue that doesn't exist. It's a pretty simple fix since it's usually because I spelled something wrong. I'll release a minor version update soon with that fixed. Thanks for letting me know!

i think marriage greetings that freeze my game

Yes, that's exactly the problem. I'm working on fixing it, but it's taking some time. For now, if you want to avoid the freezes you can either not talk to anyone for a couple of days until the congratulations stop, or you could just search your SD card for a file named "TalkLoveBlessFlow.nut" and delete it. If you do the last option you will be able to see the marriage greetings, but you will be called the wrong gender sometimes.

Hm, I still can't exit the festival properly. How odd. Maybe I'll just skip it or start a new save file.

So here's something weird. I just deleted all the files for TLE from my SD card and replaced them with the 4.0 files, and I still didn't get a crash with your save. This is super odd, and I'm kind of at a loss at this point.

Can you try removing or renaming TLE and see if the crashes stop? If they don't then TLE can't be the cause.

I renamed the folder and the event worked perfectly fine. I half expected it to crash because it didn't know how to handle Wayne dating a male farmer, but no, it was all perfectly fine. The only odd thing was after I exited the Starlight Gala I suddenly got a bunch of guidebooks about Ingredient Groups. Other than that... nothing. Extremely bizarre, but at least I can complete the festival?

I'll let you know if anything else pops up!

Hmm, but that's weird because that means that TLE is the cause, but I'm still not getting the crash even while using your save. I'm not sure why this is happening, but let me know if you still have the same problem the next time you see the event!

 

[ValiantChan]

...So I re-renamed the romfs folder to the proper name and lo and behold, my game crashed when I tried to exit the house into the farm. So I'm guessing that for some bizarre reason it's not the festival that's a problem, but my farm. I can't even begin to imagine why that might be. I've attached my save, but I dunno how useful it'd be since you couldn't replicate the crash earlier before.

Heyo, first of all I wanted to thank you for this amazing patch. I have been watching closely, waiting for the update, and was so happy when you posted it recently!

Everything works smoothly for me, except a couple things. I'm having a frustrating time getting Siluka's pink flower event to happen. I know I've met the requirements, yet I never get the cutscene when my character wakes. Another small thing is that the Starlight Gala and similar events crash mid way through for me.

Thank you so much for your time. I can upload my save if needed. Let me know if you need more details.

Yes, please do upload your save!

For the festivals do you remember exactly when it crashes? Is it after you've chosen someone to be with, before that, when you go home, etc? Does is crash and force your 3ds to restart or does it just freeze? Are you using the Hamtaro patch, and were you already dating Siluka when the crashes happened?

For Siluka's pink event, make sure you've talked to everyone in all three towns at least once. I know that's a requirement for most of the last love events that people tend to forget about. I'll try to activate it too when you upload your save.

Thanks for your reply! I'll upload my save here in a bit then.

For the festivals, it crashes before I choose someone to spend it with. When it does crash, it forces my 3ds to restart. I'm not using the Hamtaro patch, and yes I was dating Siluka at the time. For the pink flower event, I think the guide I'm using is incorrect though, it says you only have to talk to the Lulukoko townsfolk, not everybody. Thanks for the tip there.

edit: here is my save file, I'm not sure if it's in the correct format or anything. I used JKSV to copy the save file. Please let me know if it's not the right format. Thanks again. The specific save I'm using is the second one, Opal Farm.

I'll look into it some more. I know that the Hamtaro patch has a bug where certain farm circles makes the game crash, maybe that's the issue you're having? I don't know what would be causing it if that's the case, since I haven't messed with anything related to that.

Yup, that's the right format, thanks! I'll look into it soon. Let me know if you still have problems getting Siluka's event to activate.

Haha great, I was so worried I did it wrong with the save file. And I am still having issues getting Siluka's pink flower event to happen. I talked to everyone at a festival recently and still no event. Thanks so much for taking the time to look at my save! I really appreciate it.

Are you still planning to make a compatible edition with the Hamtaro patch?
It would be really nice to have both of them working, pets are cute but I'd still like to be able to woo everyone.

I believe it’s already compatible with the hamtaro patch.

 

[karikatourea]

As of February 10, it wasn't with the 1.1 version, but Silae was planning to release a small update to TLE that would include full compatibility with this patch.

It is however, compatible with the old patch, though I haven't tested it myself since I've been waiting for the updated version. It was a rather important upgrade to downgrade.

TLE was updated February 19th! 4.0 has compatibility with the new Hamtaro patch.

The download is in the first page of this thread, and the update post is a few pages back.

Oh! I've been checking the page regularly, but I didn't realize. Awesome, thank you!!

Here's a minor update to TLE for bug fixes. All the changes are in the changelog below.

Download
(Make sure to overwrite old files when you update!)
​

Spoiler: Changelog v4.1

• Fixed the hang from overworld relationship blessings
• Fixed hang that appears after you leave the Starlight Gala if you accepted Megan's request
• Fixed player hairstyles for all of the weddings
• Fixed order of vows for Lulukolo's wedding
• Fixed issue where certain love events would not activate even after filling all of its requirements (e.g Siluka's pink love event)
• Fixed a few pronoun references in all the romantic festivals
• Switched from Layeredfs plugin to OnionFS plugin to fix crashes from NTR
• All of the hack's main files have been moved to SoSToT/romfs/
• Added screenshots of the Alt Wedding Attire optional patches

Unfortunately, I was unable to fix any of the festival crashes that have been reported to me. I'm still unable to experience any crashes even while using your saves. I'm not sure what could be the problem at this point; it may be the rom I'm using?

Regardless, the only way I can try to fix these issues is if you guys help me. Basically, I need someone who's experiencing the crashes to find the file that's causing the issue, send it to me, and then try out the fixes I send back until the crashes are gone. It's a pretty inefficient way of doing things, but it's the only idea I have left. So, if you've had crashes with festivals and are willing to work with me, please send me a DM!

Also, an obligatory update on v5.0. I actually haven't been able to get anything done towards that, but I'm officially starting some progress today. Life, as always, got in the way of things, which is why this minor update took so long to get out. I'm trying to finish v5.0 by the end of this month! Hopefully, things will go the way I want it to.

Hey, first of all I want to say that I love this patch, thank you so much for creating it and for your constant maintenance! I'm so happy to be able to play as a girl instead of pretending with a male character lol. Today when using TLE I encountered a problem, for some reason walking to the west field of my farm would always cause my game to crash. I could walk to the newly unlocked east field and anywhere else in the game without any problems, but couldn't get to the west field no matter how many times I tried (it was a lot lol). I tried a few things to troubleshoot, and found out that I could access the area in farm edit and that putting away the new mushroom log I'd put in two in-game nights ago fixed the problem. I'm fine with scrapping the mushrooms in the name of love for now, but what do I need to do to fix the issue? Thanks so much for your time! I have the current version of the patch downloaded using luma, if that information is needed

 

[ValiantChan]

After reading the above comment, I tried my old save file once more with the mushroom logs removed and whaddya know, no crash.

In any case, for me at least, it wasn't the festival that was the problem - seems like the patch just didn't want us growing mushrooms for some reason. Curious why it's only acting up now after they've been there for a few days, but at least we have an idea of what the problem is.

 

[Silrae]

@ValiantChan @CatLadyJr
Do you play with the physical game or digital? It may not have anything to do with your problem, but I'm still curious.

Either way, the problem is probably because the ConstData file was edited and it's interfering with the official update. That would explain why this only started happening after v1.1 was released. Do you two mind renaming the ConstData.xbb and seeing if you still get a crash?
