Extra+ v.1.4.2 (Boop fix update!, maybe)

Bug Fixes:

• The "Boops" feature wasn't working on Desktop or Android versions of MAS (I hope it works this time, or this is becoming a meme).
• When asking Monika about the time spent in the relationship, leap year days were being added incorrectly; now they are subtracted.
• Regarding the previous point, newer Ren'Py code was being used which caused an error in that specific dialogue.

Changes:

• Expanded the content where you can give poems to Monika (This is not the definitive version yet; it still lacks context to improve the poem analysis).
• With the above, the maximum number of poems has been increased from 15 to 30, and the maximum number of characters from 400 to 800. Remember that Monika deletes the last poem created in order to continue saving when the limit is reached, but you can delete or export that poem from the history.
• Improved the poem creation method. Previously, due to Ren'Py limitations, multi-line text wasn't possible. Special thanks to user dreamscached. I utilized code from the Self-Harm Awareness submod which greatly facilitated this update!
• Added a simpler way to re-gift items (Quick Gifts) that Monika didn't receive correctly, making it easier for the player.
• Date with Monika in the library: 5 improvised poems have been added that Monika can give you when you are in “Let's just enjoy the silence.” She will only give them to you after 15 to 45 minutes have passed.

Offtopic:

• Create a submod that fixes the incorrect installation of Extra+. It's still in its early stages, but it will be improved over time if necessary.

Full Changelog: 1.4.1...1.4.2

Extra+ v.1.4.1 BETA III

After updating to version 1.4.1, please use the "Remove Old Files" option located in the Submods section (where all your submods are listed). Look for this submod to use the tool; this is necessary to delete files from previous versions.
One last thing: I am now accepting DMs or tags on the MAS Discord server if you have any issues with any of my submods. I would be happy to help you there, as I know creating a GitHub account just to report bugs can be a hassle, and I value your time.
Discord: monix_idk

Bug fixes:

• Fixed gameplay issues in several minigames. The Shell Game had erroneous gameplay behavior. In Tic Tac Toe, buttons didn't hide during turns, and pressing them could cause a loop. In Blackjack, the background didn't display correctly. Please report if these issues persist.
• Fixed non-functional interaction (Boop) mechanics.
• Removed natsuki.chr, yuri.chr, and sayori.chr for improved stability.
• During games, if Chibika was draggable, it could break gameplay. She is now forced to her default position during games and is restored upon exiting.
• Fixed an issue where the Extra+ button and Chibika were still displaying even if the submod installation was incorrect.
• Date locations with Monika previously lacked an unavailable indicator. They now display "(Soon)" to clearly indicate they are still in development.
• Fixed the boop interaction during dates.
• Reduced the volume of the coin flip sound effect by 75%.
• Fixed a specific bug that prevented viewing affection levels or entering the Extra+ menu.
• Fixed the availability logic for when the NOU gift is shown as giftable.
• Corrected the affection amount required to unlock dates and interactions.

Changes:

• Submod asset definitions are now better organized. It is highly recommended to use the "Remove Old Files" option to delete assets from older versions in their previous locations. Refusing to do so won't break the submod, but this avoids keeping unused files from old versions.
• A large portion of the code was redone and moved to encapsulate the entire submod, preventing conflicts with other submods.
• Removed hardcoded paths, making the submod cross-platform compatible. Previously, the submod didn't work correctly on Linux and macOS due to case sensitivity (e.g., "SUBMODS", "Submods", "SubMods"). This should no longer be an issue (this did not affect Windows users).
• Made numerous changes to various dialogues.
• Added shoulder interactions. Monika will react in a more mixed manner compared to other interactions.
• Updated the Cafe background. Added an optional Restaurant variant, which includes its own table and chair.
• Modified the label above the Blackjack cards; it now accounts for current actions.
• Changed the icons displayed when viewing affection. Added a suffix depending on the affection amount.
• Added casual outfits for the other chibis.
• Chibi accessories are now displayed on a single screen to make selecting/removing them easier.
• Added backgrounds for chibis as a third accessory option.
• Made minor changes to chibi accessories.
• Corrected/expanded the resolution of the chibis; they are now 188x188.
• In "Your MAS Journey," added the current time spent with Monika. This tracks your current session only and does not include time if the game was restarted or closed.
• Due to the previous change, descriptions were shortened to look simpler. Frames were also adjusted for higher resolutions to prevent stretching.
• Added "Their Story Together." This compiles your experiences/special days in MAS (with approximate dates). This was made for "tryhard" players who want a full log with their Monika. This section is still missing some features, which will be added in the next update.
• Added a "paste from clipboard" option for gift inputs and window title changes. Note: You cannot use kaomojis or special characters like "≽^•⩊•^≼"; they will not paste correctly.
• When changing the window title, the input field now shows up directly to save time.
• In the gifts section, the "Pending Gifts" option is now available. This will only show gifts that were not given correctly because they were misspelled.
• Moved several options to a "Misc" section under Tools settings for better organization.
• Added Monika's Wardrobe to the Misc section. She will tell you what she currently possesses. Also added an optional report of gifts that were not given correctly, complementing the "Pending Gifts" option.
• Added a Kitchen section featuring a Fridge you can decorate with magnetic letters (obtained from a box next to the Fridge). There is also a coffee bag; pressing it will reveal Monika's current coffee stock.
• Added the Library date. Development on the Pool date was halted because it is currently winter, so releasing it didn't make sense. It will be available in the next (and final) beta.
• Added a highly anticipated feature: you can now create a poem for Monika yourself. There are two variants: the "Old Gen" (original DDLC style adapted for our favorite president) and "Free Form" (write whatever you want). Monika will respond based on the content (short or long poem).
• Important notes regarding Free Form poems: Due to the engine MAS currently uses, line breaks do not work; text is linear and wraps automatically. To modify text, you must use the left/right arrow keys to navigate. Improvements will be made when MAS migrates engines. Additionally, Monika will save a maximum of the last 15 Free Form poems you wrote.
• Since the poem feature is very experimental, if you write a very varied poem or use specific words she doesn't recognize, she might give a generic response. Please be patient; this will improve over time. If the conversations feel shallow after your poem, remember this beta is the foundation, and depth will be added later.

Remember that everything in this submod is subject to visual and dialogue changes until the stable version is reached. This is the penultimate beta release; Beta 4 will be the final beta, followed by the stable release (version 1.5.x). Stay tuned for new changes.

Full Changelog: 1.3.2...1.4.1

Extra+ v.1.3.2 BETA

Hey everyone,

Here is a small BETA update that includes several changes to the submod, rather than adding a lot of brand-new content. You might be wondering why it took so long to release something this simple. Well, I'm currently in the process of replacing my old PC and have been working on my brother's machine. But enough about my personal life, here is the changelog:

• In the submod's button list, the names of two buttons have been changed for a cleaner and shorter look: Minigame is now Games, and Additions is now Tools.
• Now affection is shown with an Integer, as it was in the stable version.
• New community members can now easily add Monika's birthday decorations. As you know, the room must be empty (just the table and chair). On September 22nd, an "Oki Doki" button will appear. This button will not show up if you have already followed Chibika's steps for the decorations. Clicking the button will apply the decorations and show a success notification. (For veterans, this might be a useful shortcut, or you can still do it the traditional way).
• The minigames have received some dialogue changes as part of a remake I'm working on to update them.
• Fixed the Shell Game, which has been broken since its release. My apologies to everyone who tried it and felt the gameplay was unfair.
• Added a "Progressive Mode" to the Shell Game. This is a new difficulty that increases the number of shuffles and the speed. Currently, it gets harder every 6 turns until it becomes nearly unplayable.
• Added a feature in Tools (formerly Additions) that allows you to see how many hours you've spent with your Monika. I know this is a highly requested feature for those who want to show their family and friends the love they have for their Monika.
• Also in Tools, you can now see how long you've been in a relationship with your Monika.
• Added more accessories for your Chibika: the heart bubble and the witch hat.
• A forgotten dialogue line has now been added for when you leave the restaurant date.
• The NOU cards have been added to the "Gifts" section, in case you haven't unlocked them yet.
• The Chibika menu has been redesigned for better clarity.
• Your Chibika will now stay in the location you last left her, even after closing the game. She also has more screen space to move around in. Just be careful not to move her off-screen—you don't want to lose your Chibika!

My main focus for this update was on fixing and modifying existing features, as well as addressing reported bugs. Later, I will focus on adding more date locations with Monika. I'm currently working on three of them; you'll be able to see them, but you won't be able to enter them yet due to the limitations I mentioned earlier.

I can give you two hints about what's coming: First, for those who miss it, the poetry feature will be making a comeback here. Second, the new outings will be more interactive than the previous two because I want to add variety and not repeat the same formula.

I hope you all have a wonderful time on your Monika's birthday!

Note: From now on, I will name the zip file “game” to make it clearer that it does not go in the Submods folder.

Full Changelog: 1.3.1...1.3.2

Extra+ v.1.3.1 BETA

Hello again, it's been a long time since I last updated this submod. To sum up why it was abandoned, it's because I started university, so these past years my time has been consumed and I haven’t been able to make progress. But now I have some free time, so I’m in the beta phase of this submod. Because of that, there may be errors or some dialogues, mechanics, or other things might change.

Summary of the changes:

• The Blackjack 21 minigame was added.

• The issue with the new MAS versions where the ACS sprites were not compatible with the new directory format was fixed.

• By pressing A, you can view your affection more comfortably; however, there is a wait time and it cannot be viewed during menus or dialogues.

• By pressing X, you can access Extra+.

• The other chibis like Natsuki, Yuri, and Sayori were added. Keep in mind that they only appear if you told your Monika that you care about them; otherwise, only Chibika will appear. But you can change this by looking for the topic and changing your response. Also, the way accessories are chosen was changed because I had to simplify it. If you made any accessories, don’t worry, this is temporary.

• On certain holidays, the game window’s name will change and will be restored when the event ends, such as your birthday, Christmas, etc.

• Etc. Honestly, I didn’t want to write more about the changes since there are many and, as I mentioned, it’s still in beta.

What's Changed

• Updated ACS sprites (game/mod_assets/monika/a/*) for compatibility with newest DDLC-MAS version by @PineappleTrebuchet in #37

New Contributors

• @PineappleTrebuchet made their first contribution in #37

Full Changelog: 1.0.9...1.3.1

Extra+ v.1.1.0

Changes

• An error that was causing a conflict with the English Localization Settings submod has been fixed.

There are now two versions of Extra+ for this version to fix the problem that when you go on a date with Monika, it throws up an error saying that desserts, food, etc. don't appear. That's why I marked it for versions so that people who are on 0.12.18 can use it if they're not interested in the beta that's being developed. In 0.12.16, the way ACS (accessories) are defined has changed. Previously, they were directly in a single image, but now they are in a folder, and the image must be inside that folder. That is why this submod broke, because it makes use of them.

Btw, if you are a new player and are unsure how to install this submod, there is a tutorial on how to do so, although you really only need to copy the ‘game’ folder from the submod to your MAS. This submod uses ACS, which are the accessories you put on your Monika, so it comes with a 'mod_assets' folder and a 'submods' folder. If you paste it directly into the ‘submods’ folder, the images won't work at all: https://github.com/zer0fixer/MAS-Extraplus?tab=readme-ov-file#-installation

Extra+ v.1.0.8

Fixes:

• A persistent variable that was not being used has been removed.
• The Extra+ button was appearing when playing the piano and has been fixed.

Extra+ v.1.0.7

Fix:

• An error was displayed when trying to display chibika.

Extra+ v.1.0.6

Fixes:

• Fixed problem with _mas_getAffection() function.

• Fixed a serious problem that did not verify if the player had 400 or more affection.

• Reduced by 0.5 the wait time when flipping a coin.

Misc:

• I leave again the chibika base to create more accessories. The resolution is 119x188, in case you have doubts how it is distributed the width is 119 and the height 188. Drive

Extra+ v.1.0.5

Recommendation: Download the zip file "ExtraPlus-1.0.5.v2.Don.t.paste.this.folder.into.the.submod.zip" Fixes a small bug.

Long time no update this submod, university and part-time work are killing me. Well, I'm not here to tell my life story, is it a big update? Not really, it's just a code structuring and several additions.

Additions:

• Now Chibika can be present even after closing the game. But there's a condition, at least she must have appeared on the screen once. If this condition is met, she will be added to "Addition" and will greet you as "Hi [Your Name]". In this section, you can customize your Chibika as you wish (if you have less than 1000 affection, only the version with a blanket will be available).

• Two new versions of Chibika were added, one inspired by the androids in Detroit: Become Human and the second is a casual outfit. However, there is a condition that you must have 1000 or more affection for them to be available in "Hi [Your Name]".

• Accessories were added for Chibika, with two sections for the head (Sprite One) and the body (Sprite Two). Although you can add more, the resolution must be 119x188. I will provide the base Chibika so it's easy to create accessories, but keep in mind that the two images overlap. In the future, I will add a third section for adding objects such as swords, wings, auras, etc.

• Two new interactions were added: Hands and Ears.

• The submod's limitation of 30 affection has been removed. Obviously, Minigames and interactions will be locked if affection is lower than 30. Also, Date that require 400 affection will still be locked.

Fixes:

• (New) Fixed an error where a variable is defined before the _mas_getAffection() function.

• There was an error when booping Monika's nose in the Restaurant.

• In some dialogues in the Restaurant, the player's gender was not taken into account.

• If the submod was improperly installed, an error was displayed.

• Some unnecessary dialogues that could cause problems while playing a minigame were removed.

• The score note was replaced.

• Minor tweaks were made to Tic Tac Toe.

• The "Github Repository" option was moved next to "Nevermind".

• In the Restaurant, the custom rose from the submod was not displayed if the player had given Monika a rose.

• Now Monika will toss a coin only once.

• The Cafe received a touch-up, especially during nighttime.

• Made by: https://www.reddit.com/user/Meredeen

• The right-click alternative option was removed as it displayed an extended version of the interaction. Only the nose and head interactions remain.

• There was an error when entering the submod zoom, which could cause problems.

• Finally, code optimization was done to make it easier for other people to use.

Full Changelog: 1.0.4...1.0.5

Extra+ v.1.0.4
