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?
I play with the digital version. I definitely don't mind trying some things to fix the problem! I'm fairly new to this still so sorry if this is a really stupid question, but rename it to what? I can try right now.

You can rename it to anything, really. I usually just add a hyphen at the end like: ConstData.xbb-

Edit: Also it's weird that I'm still not having any issues with crashes, even after putting up a few mushroom logs. I thought that maybe it was only happening with physical cartridges since I use digital, but you're also using the digital version and having crashes. I don't understand why I can't replicate the crash? Things would be much easier if I could.

I renamed it and put some mushroom logs down, but the game immediately crashed after exiting farm edit

Huh, that's weird. I don't know which other file would interfere with item data. We're going to have to do a bigger search then. Could you rename the "Script" folders and see if you crash? If you still do, try renaming the "Layout" folder too.

Unfortunately I got the same result both times. I'm also on an older version of luma, if that would do anything

Well, the last file you haven't renamed is the Msg.xbb file, but if there's a crash even with that removed, luma might be the cause of it.

I don't think it's because you're on an older version, though. It might just be the way its layeredfs works? That, or the fact that TLE overwrites some files from the v1.1 update is causing an issue with game patching in general. The best solution I can think to that is just not using game patching at all. I would have to try and make an update cia for the game that only includes TLE's edited files.

Renaming Msg.xbb also didn't fix it, so there's nothing to be done for now? Would it be better to follow the NTR guide and use that version for the time being, or is it just death to all mushrooms?

You can try using bootNTR selector instead of luma's layeredfs, but I think you're going to have the same results.

I'll try making a custom dlc soon to see if that fixes the problem, but I've never made a dlc cia before so... I have no idea how this'll go! For now, yeah, no more mushrooms.

You can always use the ctrpf cheat plugin for ToT to spawn yourself some mushrooms if you really need them!

Ok, unfortunately I now have a new problem. After I started dating Iluka, my character freezes whenever I try to talk to anyone else. The game itself doesn't like freeze on a screen, the other characters keep moving in the background, but my character completely freezes up and time doesn't pass

I, uh, may have accidentally put the wrong file in the last update. Whoops? I really should stop updating TLE in the middle of the night.

Just extract and overwrite the attached file into your romfs folder, and your game shouldn't freeze anymore.

I just checked the file from v4.1, and it's working fine for me. Are you using any cheats from the ctrpf plugin? If you're not, can you upload a copy of your save?

And the helper is always going to be the person you're dating or whoever you have the highest friendship with.

Hi, after I tried the latest patch it fixed the pink events and also some events (Startlight Gala, have not tried others yet), however after I try to propose marriage or get a reversal proposal when the game changes to the scene when you talk about the marriage I see the conversation from the town elders and after that nothing happens (the game keeps running but there is no more dialogues or any interaction). There is no crash or error message, I have to exit the game by pressing home. I tried twice with two different saves and got the same error (first dating Siluka and now Komari). Included is my save in case that you want to check the issue, I am using the digital version and have not used any cheat, running the patch via luma. Thank you for keep updating this patch and no worries, I can wait for a fix or other solution.

I'll look into it. It doesn't seem like it should be too difficult of a fix. I'll try to have another bug update up by the end of this week.

Thanks a lot, I will wait for the next update.

Just to let you know, I tried the Sealight Night event just for curiosity and after Tototara dialog got a crash.... for now on I will avoid those events.

Don't worry, I finally managed to fix that bug. Hopefully I didn't miss anything else.

I fixed both the bugs you reported to me, and I'll probably have the next minor update out tomorrow.

    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
