Eventually yes- the first version will show only selected modifiers, and then over time the reporting will be expanded.

Consolidated Patch 7 has been released, and can be found here:

 

Instructions: Copy all files and place into your Academagia install folder (same folder as Academagia.exe). For example: C:\Program Files\Academagia\Mods\Content.mdm (Please overwrite all files.)

Important: You must begin a new game in order to make use of the Content Patch. When you begin a new game, simply check 'Content Package 2' under mods, and proceed.

 

Before you Install: Patch 7 does not require you to create a new game, but if you wish to have certain fixes, you will need to create a new one. This Patch is cumulative with all previous Patches.

 

This Patch adds these features:

 

1) Increase modifiers now appear when you mouse over Skills and Attributes, and show Abilities, Actions and Spells affecting it, as well as the Duration of those Effects. Modifiers do not yet include Emotions, as well rarer sources of Increases.

2) Increased log reporting in order to better understand the Vista Save game issue.

 

...and covers these issues:

 

1) Reprimands received on the same Day as they are scheduled are now force-attended, overriding your Evening Action.

2) Clique Abilities are now correctly restored when a Clique recovers from, or breaks up after, Fighting.

3) Damage and Increase Vitality Maximum now work correctly together.

4) A loophole in Random Skill selection was closed. You should no longer be able to obtain Research or Bond Skills in that fashion.

Quick, probably silly question.

 

Does the above patch/content package also include the DLC material?

Yes- all of our Patches include all previous fixes, DLC and Content Patches.

Glad to see you guys keep pushing those patches out. I'm pretty impressed that a lot of the requested features are making their way into the game so quickly.

Nikolaj;

 

It's all thanks to you guys!

Does this Hotfix fix anything for Games started with Patch 7? I ask because I prefer to not update during a running game.

Edit: got the answaer because I haved a CTD with the Libary of Longshade.

Edit2: Because the Day Reporting is just to broken for my taste after aplying the Hotfix I will wait for the next Patch/Hotfix or going back to Patch 6 bevor starting this Char again.

Thanks, hopefull with this Hotfix of the Hotfix I can continue my game .

[Legate of Mineta]

Without a Hotfix of the Hotfix of the Hotfix?

[vdalson]

The patch has 404'd. I need it to fix the Library of Longshade issue.

[Legate of Mineta]

vdalson;

 

Please use 7b.

[vdalson]

I just did. The Library of Longshade still crashes on me. By the way, great game. I've been having a lot of fun with it.

[Legate of Mineta]

vdalson;

 

Very strange! 7b should not allow the crash at the Library of Longshade.

 

Just to make sure- could you delete GameLogic.dll in your Academagia folder, and, once deleted, place GameLogic.dll from the 7b Patch?

 

Please let me know the results, and thanks!

[vdalson]

Made a mistake on my part. When I unzipped 7b, i didn't take it out of the folder it was in. I replaced GameLogic.dll, and it works like a charm. Thanks for the fast help.

[Legate of Mineta]

vdalson;

 

Not at all- enjoy the game!

1) Increase modifiers now appear when you mouse over Skills and Attributes, and show Abilities, Actions and Spells affecting it, as well as the Duration of those Effects. Modifiers do not yet include Emotions, as well rarer sources of Increases.

 

Pure awesomeness!

 

Thans Guys!

[Draigh]

Is it getting hot in here?

[Ranielle Limeleaf]

So guys I heard you like fixing so I put a hotfix in your fix so you can fix while you fix.

 

or something like that.

Instructions: Copy all files and place into your Academagia install folder (same folder as Academagia.exe). For example: C:\Program Files\Academagia\Mods\Content.mdm (Please overwrite all files.)

This Patch adds these features:

 

1) You are now able to save a Day's Actions into a 'Slot', and then use those stored Actions on a future Day:

Pressing F1-F5 saves a Day's Actions into a Slot.

c) Pressing CTRL+F1-F5 replaces the current Day's Actions with the ones stored in the Slot.

d) The graphical implementation will arrive in Patch 10.

Thanks a loot now I hopfull can continue my game.

More of a general question about this patch is it bether to update to this patch in general for a running game or only if the game was stuck with one of the crashing bugs.

[Legate of Mineta]

Schwarzbart;

 

You should be fine to update and play an old save. Some behaviors that were corrected will not be unless you start a new game, but that should have relatively little impact on you.

[mhv3]

 

9) Skill Steps should not show correctly, regardless of Increase Effects

 

 

I assume that really means now
