This page is for discussion of the technical side of content creation. If you have a technical issue or question with regards to a character or story you are creating, talk about it here.
(The old Custom Content thread can be found here)
Helpful things:
--> Medium build girl, the .psd that was used to create the built-in characters, is available with layer names in English.
--> Kudos to SparkleFox for finding us a male tachie generator, authored by "彩 雅介" (Aya Mayabaikai?)! This one is put together as a program, but has PSD files with layer-names in Japanese. No "fan-translation" available at this time.
--> You can use any of these images for making new custom characters.
--> Notepad++ with syntax highlighting for Heartache 101 can be a big help with story creation. To set it up, go to the View menu and set User Defined Language to HeartAche. Then close View, go to the Language menu and select HeartAche. (If you already have Notepad++, here's userDefineLang.xml by itself)
--> Mr. Help File has, regrettably, forgotten to mention certain locations! They are as follows:
Beach (sunset), Grounds (sunset), Roof (sunset), Bedroom (Morning), Downtown, Studio Room.
Note that these locations must be specified via a PLACE command. To the best of my (ie: Marrend's) knowledge, they cannot be obtained via the generic "School" or "City" code.

Closeauthor=MarrendI think you wanted something like that (would fit the comments near that condition too):
That one Emiko CONDITION was, literally, the worst CONDITION to figure out. I don't remember reading the part about parenthesis, though. Might have helped things out a bit.
Though, funnily enough, I think that story still works? I have no idea! Like, the only play-tests I've done with her was when the "22 DONE" portion of the CONDITION was true!
CONDITION = 22 DONE OR (20 DONE AND 25 NEUTRAL) OR (9 DONE AND 25 LIKE) OR (12 DONE AND 25 FRIENDLY) OR (7 DONE AND 25 LIKE)
Stuff like that isn't too easy to debug in the first place. Plus it's probably not the only possible story at any point in time and it's not even PRIO = High, so it's hard to tell the exact reason why it triggered. And to make it even worse: your conditions are far from being independend from each other. Half of them are satisfied just by getting Emiko to LIKE.
And those stories are probably interdepend with each other too.
*EDIT*: my example-CONDITION above should be correctly formed. Chains like A OR B OR C OR D OR E would not need parenthesis.

how can I remove one of my own posts?
Normal users cannot remove their own posts. Moderators probably can remove posts, however, I do not know under what circumstances it occurs in. Double-posting is generally not allowed. The "Welp, Welp!" forum is the the most lenient place in regards to this rule. See: this multipost. However, in the case of accidental double-posting, from what I've observed, it's usually on the user's end to put in, or otherwise edit post content, with some kind of "Oops!" as a nod to the rule about double-posting.
*Edit: In other words...
You're probably fine.

I think there's minor glitch in Nami/Nami_story.txt:
This seems to be intended as the second story for Nami (ID = 39). She doesn't appear in the main branch so the game will probably not check for her being introduced thus this one might play before her introduction ...
STORY 1001
PLACE = Courtyard
ID = 0
(There's that girl from before. She's sitting on a bench all alone...)
A: Sit down next to her.
B: Talk to her.
C: Ignore her and keep walking.

I think you're right, though, I have not consulted Mr. Help File on this matter. However, as I recall, characters that have not been INTRODUCEd can appear in BRACHes.

author=MarrendAs I recall we had that conversation before ... a few month ago. And I think n_stories is actively relying on this.

By the way, Mr. Helpfile tutoring on ITRODUCE stories:
author=Mr. HelpfileEmphasis added.
Because this story introduces a new character to the player, there is one more line we need to include. After the line which declares the story, add the line "INTRODUCE = 10". This lets the game know that our custom character is introduced in this story event. This is important. Characters will not appear in any story events unless they have first appeared in a story event designated as an Introduce story. However, characters may appear in branches of stories whether or not they have appeared in an Introduce story.

Moderator / developer response needed ...
I'd like to publish a tool soon which might help debugging larger storylines. Since it's going to be a quite powerfull viewer it might be not approriate for publishing openly.
So: I'd like to have your opinion(s) first ...
BTW: no, it's not done yet, but I have an early preview version ready which would enable you to evaluate it's "powers" ...
PS: it's that JS thingy I had been talking about a while ago.

I've a feeling that flowerthief would welcome any tool that authors can use to help them manage/create stories. I'm not sure how large storylines need to be in order for this tool to be useful, though. That might be part of testing it out.
Also, wasn't there something else you needed to make this run, or is my memory just plain faulty?

author=MarrendWell - there are currently two ways to use my scripts:
Also, wasn't there something else you needed to make this run, or is my memory just plain faulty?
1. Install Apache and PHP (which isn't too hard to do).
This seems to work with Firefox and Edge. It will probably work with Chrome, and will probably NOT work with older IE versions.
2. Manually edit some file lists.
This doesn't seem to work with MS Edge. It *does* work with Firefox.
The reason why a webserver would be usefull lies in the way Javascript deals with local files. serverside PHP can easily enumerate files and directories, Javascript can't.

I've writen a tool to help developers debug there story files.
It's found in my locker as
storydebugv10.zip
A small documentation can be found in my locker to: Help > Documentation
It's supposed to be able to load and to work with all "officially released content" for Heartache 101.
Prerequisites: you'll need a modern browser. Current version of Firewfox WILL work. Edge will probably work with the webbased install. It might work with the local file install but require changing some settings. Other browsers are untested. Older versions WILL NOT work.
The tool is designed for a screen of at least about 1400xwhatever pixels.
I might publish a version for 800x600 sometime future.
BTW: If you happen to have access to the original backgrounds you could put them under the "places" directory (and edit the list.txt there).
INSTALL instructions
*Edit*: reuploaded several times, bugfixes, minor enhancements, experimental graphing, documentation.
It's found in my locker as
storydebugv10.zip

To this fine community;
I have leftover image files that anyone is welcome to use. The character they were meant for will not appear in what I'm making due to the changes in the stories, and she wouldn't fit with the setting.
Here is a link if you are interested.

Your images are quite nice looking. Seems like she's not from the same school as the rest, though.

In fear this might get burried and thus overlooked.
I've finished some documentation for my debugging tool.

Is there are way to have subfolders in one's locker?
Not that I'm aware of. However, I seem to recall such a feature being requested. It was a while ago, and I cannot remember if there was a response to that request.
Darigaaz, the story debugger. I am soooooo slow with that!

Have a look.
My own WingGirl-content looks currently more like a bowl of spaghetti.
... well the whole graph thing is still work-in-progress anyways ...
