[September 3, 2023]Abyss Patcher

Figure I should mention that I know there's a glitch with the new command where if you use it, and open your quest window, you crash.

[GiratinaAltered]

That sounds like a mmmm what'cha say there moment.

[Diiv]

The /housing or /hboard commands are not working.

After i type any of those commands the game crash and i get a Visual C++ Error

Im using Windows 8.1 x64

Mods used:
Tiara + Abyss

See picture of the error:

I'm on windows 7 and the /housing command is slightly broken. if i haven't opened the housing board through other means since i started the client, hitting enter after typing /housing freezes the client for around 2-5 seconds(no crash though) and then nothing happens; housing board doesn't appear, and the text is still where i typed it, and hitting enter again does nothing(not even lag/freezing). However, if i opened the housing board earlier by clicking on it or a party board, the /housing command works normally.

After scanning through the 3 or 4 pages of TLDR since I last checked, i still havent seen any updates on the whole "zoom hooks dont stick" issue. are they fixed or not? Cause one of my friends gave me a file that uses cheatengine to do the exact same thing, which works.


and before you gun-jumpers that blame all problems with abyss on win 8 or 8.1 pop up... no, I'm not running either of those, I am running windows 7 ultimate.

[Rydian]

The .CT table I made modifies the code that writes the zoom value when it's set (on loading a new area or entering/exiting the options screen), whereas IIRC Abyss edits when the value is read, so it is different code, dunno' what's up with the Abyss version.

i cant seem to use slash commands to switch time of day.

I tried using "/time 1" or "/time 2" but nothing happened qq.

zoom slash commands dont work either qq help?

[GiratinaAltered]

Sounds like the commands are glitchy. Blade mention there's some glitch but not anywhere close to the housing command. Off I go on my try on the commands and see where I will crash.

Edit: Tested /housing and /hboard command and it's working just fine on Windows 8.1 system of mine.
The /zoom, /zoom 1, /zoom 2 options are funky. /zoom is perfectly normal zoom. Put /zoom 1 or 2 will zoom in too much can only function normally when you hook it but not command version it.

For Abyss, you can change the value with the fixed option in Abyss.ini but the hook command is set. It seems to be working just fine on my Windows 8.1 system.

Windows 8.1, I did a clean reinstall and installed Pendragon's Tiara and newest Abyss today, and my client crashes before Pleione engine loads completely.  Any insight on it, or do you need more info?

Abyss is doing that. And tbh it's quite normal with the latest Abyss around. It tends to randomly crash. It takes me 2 times run of direct launch to get it running without crashing. But if you're crashing constantly every attempt then you might have to remove Abyss.

I have yet to crash once at the login screen (or even rarely crash at all) with abyss. Running 8.1 on both my PC and a virtual machine with no problems that are specific to 8.1.

Just saying it's random, likely it wouldn't happen again. For sure a clean client would never do it and Tiara doesn't have anything for that.

I crash everytime...  could outdated data folder cause this by any chance? :x

[GiratinaAltered]

Remove data folder and report back then.

[wjdxowhd1994]

If I remove the folder completely, I can't even get to loading screen before crashing.  Other data files I added to the original Tiara files seem to have no effect on crashing... so not data folder.  Welp, I guess I'll just wait it out..

If you're using DATA packer, make sure to apply changes.

Seems the tiara cutscene skipper wont skip alby adv HM's boss cutscene (skips all others ive tried), so unless I missed something, not so much of an easily fix, that part.

Uh oh looks like Tiara NEVER actually have it added in. I made the mod to cut it out because I noticed before the newer uploader Shaggy's one doesn't have it.
If you need Alby Adv HM skip it's here.
It's directory is data>db>cutscene>c2
Anymore cutscene skips needed I can remove if it's not added in Tiara.

Sync character data with server, including position: /sync

Thanks! this game needed away to do that!

I need to ask: why?

My personal mods have this.  Things that Tiara is missing that others would like added... I suggest we collaborate a list... Until then...

(Within reason to be added. I already see people that want the dolls added going gaga over this. -_-.  The point here is to maintain Tiara's original integrity for now and fix the small things.)

If you're using the current abyss, I don't feel this is it, as it seems other mods related.  For sure, you want to double check Blade's first page and make sure you covered all steps he mentions there...

Most likely Causes:
Outdated xml files.  As of 204a, of the files currently... This isn't an issue. 
Corrupted packs, caused by DataPacker using outdated xml files.  This happens when people forget to unpack the mods/remove them from their packs.  They remove the data folder  and try to run DataPacker, but then DataPacker has nothing to work with to remove the mods...  You then have corrupted packs and need to get new ones, or pray that you can undelete that data folder and then remove them from your packs.  If this works, then once the packs have had the mods removed you can then rid yourself of that data folder. 

There was a windows update/program side/client update of sorts.  This means that you have to remove abyss and disable mods (rename your data folder and/or remove them via DataPacker).  Boot the client normally until you get to the login screen, after making sure you have the right   ijl15.dll (ijl15.dat renamed to .dll -- aka the original file).  For additional info on this please reference my guide in my sig which mentions the pitfalls and things to be aware of.  It also mentions the past few things there.

Modding is about user convenience and plain entertainment.  If you're asking why anyone wants a cutscene skip, i question why you're posting period.

Not to be rude, but i wish you luck. lol
Since i keep my own version of mods and update them myself, i won't feign interest in working on a public project like this, when most of the users can't show a lick of interest in providing feedback or even gratitude.  I wish you luck getting everything up and going smoothly though, if you add more content.

I truly do understand where you're coming from and agree with you, but I still have to put it out there. 

Aside from this, those that have Tiara specific questions and concerns please post to that thread.  We don't need to be thread crapping or hijacking on Blade's here.  Just saying... I'm only filling in.  That is until Shaggy returns, or I lose interest. Because when it's not fun, then why do it anymore?
