re-locking content?

[Alia]

I want to re-play some games I enjoyed a while ago, and no longer remember well. I'd like to re-lock the bonus content, and more importantly, convince the game that I've never seen any of the text before, so that the "skip seen" is more useful for this go-round.

I've tried deleting and re-downloading the game files, but for some reason the game still remembers its previous life.

Can anyone offer suggestions?

Persistent data is stored here: (info from: http://www.renpy.org/wiki/renpy/doc/FAQ ... nt_data.3F The wiki is old, but for Linux is the same, maybe for windows has changed).

The Ren'Py engine stores save games and persistent data under a separate folder. It's exact location depends on the host operating system.

Windows:

Code: Select all

%APPDATA%/RenPy/game_directory

This is usually:

Code: Select all

C:\Documents and Settings\YOURNAME\Application Data\RenPy\game_directory

Where YOURNAME is your username.

Mac OS X:

Code: Select all

~/Library/RenPy/game_directory

Linux/Other:

Code: Select all

~/.renpy/game_directory

In each case game_directory is the directory for the game in question.

Also, in case the game runs from a thumb-drive, and there exists a directory called "Ren'Py Data" in the root of said drive, Ren'Py will use that to store persistent data.

And in the game/save directory of the game (but this one, as you said, has been deleted).
If Ren'Py finds former information in one or another, then uses it.
Deleting the folder should work for you. You'll also lose the saved games, of course.

Whee, it worked! Thanks so much, xavimat.
