When you're on the Alexis secret path is there something you have to consider with Layla. Can you a relationship with her or does she have to be your friend only?

So it's required to be on Layla's path. Good to know thank you.Have to be on her path.
If you check the first post in this game thread, there's an Extra for "Alexis Secret Path" follow that and you'll see the steps to get do it. There's a few checks you have to tick before starting it.So it's required to be on Layla's path. Good to know thank you.
I downloaded scrappy's mod and looked at it. It's replacing all the episode_x.rpy (1-13) files, as well as the screens.rpy and gui.rpy files. Other than the renders and audio, those rpy files are the guts of the game code. So it's entirely possible that something didn't work properly during an install/upgrade.I thankfully also always keep the latest zip so I didn't need to redownload the whole thing. The strange thing is when I started the game completly without mods I got an error loading the specific save before the Mira decision. When I only put scrappys mod I could load that save and I got the choice for Mira. So it worked with only the scrappy mod.
+1 for the extra in the OP. It makes it really simple to follow. After seeing the scenes and understanding how it works, I'm just mad I didn't put it all together sooner on my own. I was too busy catching too many Erynn points and wondering why it needed to be a secret path when you can already scumbag Alexis and Layla anyway until it blows up.If you check the first post in this game thread, there's an Extra for "Alexis Secret Path" follow that and you'll see the steps to get do it.

For sure...it is not going to end well....Now it's one of my favorite routes because I just know Nyx is heading for something explosive with it.
I'm not a coder in the slightest, but what would the mod need to replace the individual chapter scripts for? Wouldn't that be only if changing something in the script itself, like with an IC patch, for instance?I downloaded scrappy's mod and looked at it.

If you extract the game, mod it, then apply just the game update patch, then try to update the mod, things may get corrupted.
If things break unexpectedly, revert back to a known good (base version from the dev) and then if working, progress from there.

well worse than dating them both.For sure...it is not going to end well....
Scrappy's mod changes all choice dialogues. Instead of it just saying "I like that" or "I don't like that" they add extra text to say "I like that Start Jane Path" or "I don't like that -1 Jane". In order to do that, they have to insert extra text at the end of every choice box, which requires modifying the game code.For those who don't understand how the game works, here are instructions.
- You have to play through every clickable (Unlocked) image at least once until all characters have 1/1 or 2/2.
- If the character or characters you have already have 1/1 or 2/2, you can press Skip
- You skip the days until you reach the end of the game and go back to the beginning. Then you take on the next character. You will have to play through the game about 6 or 7 times until you have seen EVERYTHING.
- Only then have you reached the end of the update
A tip from me: If you are not sure whether you have seen everything, a look in the image folder will tell you.
So I did actually look at the code for Scrappy's, and that error is a mod issue for sure. Several of his mods use "m_c1". If you look at line two, where they add the line "Can start Alexis path" it's using m_c1.I thankfully also always keep the latest zip so I didn't need to redownload the whole thing. The strange thing is when I started the game completly without mods I got an error loading the specific save before the Mira decision. When I only put scrappys mod I could load that save and I got the choice for Mira. So it worked with only the scrappy mod.

It would have to happen something drastic pretty soon on that route because so far its only been just some mild flirting, not a single sex scene with Alexis on that route, hell even Iris gets more action who is mostly unavailable on every other route except for some flirting on Alexis GF path. Honestly, i have personally been so far kind of disappointed in Alexis secret path, it mostly all plays out just in that one beach scene so far and its pretty mild, nothing really that would Layla have to be concerned about. It just came of more like a hangout between friends more than anything else, especially if you don't go for that Iris scene.For sure...it is not going to end well....
Is that a development time vs in game time problem? Development wise, it's been years, but in game time, if you think about when the secret path starts I don't think it's so slow. Alexis has to go from "this guy is dating my sister and off limits" to "wait Erynn wants to set us up despite Layla" to "wait others want it to happen as well" and it's really only been a couple of weeks in game time.It would have to happen something drastic pretty soon on that route because so far its only been just some mild flirting, not a single sex scene with Alexis on that route, hell even Iris gets more action who is mostly unavailable on every other route except for some flirting on Alexis GF path.

True that, just personally i would have maybe preferred Erynn's bits of her trying to set up the MC with Alexis on Alexis GF path if you were on friend path with Erynn, it think it would maybe add more flair to that route instead of having to do a whole another route where something may or may never come to fruition out of it. Just saying that so far this route doesn't really amount to much and seems unnecessary when those bits could have been baked into the original Alexis route for a overall better experience. Hopefully something more comes of it out of this route that would warrant that another playthrough though so i guess time will tell if something worthwhile comes of itIs that a development time vs in game time problem?
