Project WINTERMUTE

Installation Instructions

1. Download the "Project WINTERMUTE" zip file. (if you're reading this txt, you are here) Download a fresh copy of Doki Doki Literature Club, from https://ddlc.moe.

2. Extract the "Project WINTERMUTE" folder from the zip file to your desired location on your PC. Extract the DDLC install to the same location.

3. Open both folders. Drag ALL the files from Project WINTERMUTE into your DDLC installation. Replace all overlapping files.

4. Launch Project WINTERMUTE via "WintermuteV3".

Note for Mac Users

Due to Wintermute.app not being notarized, Gatekeeper's not gonna allow Wintermute to launch normally.

To work around this:

1. Open the Terminal in Wintermute's folder.
2. Type the following commands:

chmod 755 override-mac-signing.sh  
./override-mac-signing.sh

Enter your password for sudo access if you're prompted to.

3. Right click on WintermuteV3.app and click on "Open".
4. Follow through with the rest of clicking dialog boxes.

Replaying the Mod

Whenever you wish to reset your progress, just delete "wm_replay".
Next time the game boots, your saves will be cleared & you can start fresh.

wintermutev3's Issues

I can't see icons on the desktop

There are two apps on the desktop, "Rorschach" and "Settings", I can only see their names, if I click them, nothing happens.
This happens after seeing the introduction of Penny.
Do you use some heavy graphical technology like Live2D?
What renderer does the game use?
I also can't access the game menu right click.

Redo structuring for tests

Changes to be made are:

• Modularise all of test resources (Emails, News etc.) to according to the test its used for.
• Bind emails to the their respective test objects and have them unlock through the callback function, instead of unlocking manually on the callback label.
• Deal with post_finish as a part of the Test object, instead of being a separated label.

Implement a custom audio metadata parser

Wintermute, in its current state, uses TinyTag to parse metadata for songs loaded through the music directory.

According to the documentation, RenPy only supports Opus, Vorbis, MP3 and WAV files.
(Well, that's a lie. RenPy apparently supports Flac files too.)

Due to the limited number of formats, all of them being pretty well documented and issues faced with TinyTag, it may be beneficial to devote time for writing a custom parser for them (or at least replace TinyTag's ID3 parser which crashed the game).

Issues with TinyTag that were faced:

• Ogg picture tag (METADATA_BLOCK_PICTURE) wasn't parsed and formatted.
• ID3 parser can't handle data length indicator bytes and unsynchronisation. (The flags are being skipped over, so go figure.)

The issues above of have been fixed in WM's local copy of tinytag.py.

Mini (Music) Player

Considering how the music player's actually implemented as a means of playing the user's "work" music, an interface should be made and mapped to a key for VN mode too.

Currently, pressing Shift + M toggles the OS' Music Player without the window frame and buttons.

While this works, both me and Oliver feel that a compact expandable music player would work better in this case.

VN Mode Overlays and Effects

For keeping a track of proposed overlays and effects ideas to be used in VN Mode.
