HTH Dialog Developers Group

I'm talking about the location files. There are a lot of random scripts throughout.

ok, I got FFDEC, and couldn't get the scene to function when replacing absolute paths with relative. some things worked, but some scripts didn't fire and the script still blackscreened.
I also found a location background. Where do you think this is?

I'm guessing what you can find in files.

1.
_root.gotoAndStop("some_label");
_root.play();

If it's in the main timeline script (frame script in FFDec), the just delete _root. as the target the same object in which the script is. Or replace it with gotoAndPlay(...); as I have no idea why Crow never uses gotoAndPlay()

If it's in a DefineSprite or Button populated in the main timeline frame, then the target (main timeline frames) is parent of that Sprite or button, so replace _root with _parent

If the script is even deeper nested object (which barely happens in HTH2 beta, if ever, it's flat hierarchy) i.e. Button placed inside DefineSprite, then the controlled main timeline is a parent of sprite which is parent of button. So replace _root with _parent._parent to target two levels up the hierarchy.

2.
Button.prototype.tabEnabled = false;
or
Mouse.hide();
or
ContextMenu.hideBuiltInItems()

That's all bullshit, delete such script lines. Delete anything tampering with mouse or Flash Player menu.

3.
Delete anything trying to open internet web pages.

Here's what I did today.

I've added 3 bella scenes, two of them playable at the villa, and one of them playable at the glass room. I added the other half of the Glass room and moved Anne to the back room, and Aleta to the connecting hallway. I'm also adding a minigame to the glass room featuring shelly and some random male canine. Unfortunately I've run into a small problem. Animation with my current instalation of Adobe CS6 is without exaggeration an impossible feat. The program is so unstable that adding a single blank keyframe to frame 325 in bella's t i t job scene for instancecrashes the program. Since I'm not paying adobe yearly for their broken ass official decade old editing software, I decided on a solution and crack installed adobe flash CC. The issue with this approach is that adobe Cc doesnt support AS2. Instead it removes AS2 from the .fla on export leaving only the movieclips and sprites behind. I could try to modify the program to use the runtime from cs6, which could make custom scenes really easy to achieve but to my knowledge its never been done. I could also have adobe CS6 And CC simultaneously and export the sprite from CC after animating and then import it into CS6 and past in the script layer. One last solution is if any one of you have used CS6 recently (64bit preferably), please share any workarounds or fixes to make the program less volatile or a link (torrent) to a more optimized working version. Anyhow, sorry for the long rambling text.
 
Also nice work with the dialogue system tabby. This will make writing dialogue a fair bit easier.

I've got lost a bit. Is it all about HTH2 Beta?
3 Bella scenes sounds good. I'm surprised that there are so many from 2011-2012 era.
I'm aware of one Bella scene from newer generation of HTH - Bella missionary (screenshot attached) created in late 2012, last updated in 2015 (per file metadata). The file I've got was finished, just a little bit broken. I didn't added it to HTH offline bc is superseded by current Bella/Rio/Charlotte missionary scene. Through I considered adding it.

Regarding difficulties with Flash tools, unfortunately FFDec can't insert a frame in the middle of animation, it can insert frame only at the end, so I can't help.
AS2 was already outdated in 2008 when Crow started creating HTH. Unfortunately AS3 is integrated in Flash different way so there is no way of converting AS2 to AS3.
But I'm not surprised, Crow just keeps what he was introduced to. Even the latest (it's already more than year) build of Unity RLD  is still Unity version 2017.3.0f3

If all goes according to plan, HTH2BvO finished by tomorrow, and genus redraw for POV done by Tuesday. I might be able to get a third person test version done (jaymee's scene) in the next few weeks, if Tabby is willing to make a few additions to the genus system. We could implement a select few cosmetics, such as human skin tone or wings for either dragon or griffon... depends

Shall you have any struggle with scripts or launcher, send me link over PM and I'll help with that tomorrow.

I must say though, the charlotte missionary scene is the most **** up crow scene I've ever seen. It's so **** poorly coded
