If all you you did was install the gallery.rpy file, you might be OK with that. The Ep 5 update will likely overwrite that one with a new gallery file and even though the unlocked file from the mod changed the persistent file so that all scenes are unlocked, it doesn't affect the ability to play a clean version of the game.

Mods like the walkthrough and cheat mod make changes to the game code and that's why they'll be incompatible with the ep 5 patch, but I wouldn't think the gallery.rpy file is that much of a problem. You can still download it again for peace of mind so that you have a clean version, but I think you should be fine if that's all you've done.

Do mods change the original rpa-files?
If not : if mods just add new rpy and rpyc files, it should be possible to clean the installation by removing rpy and rpyc files from the game folder. This might be easier than downloading 6 GB if you have a slow download.

The problem with savegames discussed above remains. If a mod adds new variables and parameters it might corrupt the save games, so that they are not compatible with the unpatched game and so not compatible with episode 5.

I usually keep the download file (e.g. BeingADIK-042-pc.zip) as backup in case I screw my installation until a new version is released.

So if it comes out between 1st and 2nd week of June,then that's almost 5 months of development.DPC is planning for 10-20 eps right?so at this rate it will take 2/3 years to get completed..that is if DPC doesn't get burned out or anything

Did the mod add an rpa-file?
(You can see this usually by checking the date of the rpa-files.)

Or did the mod add a folder with rpy / rpyc files you overlooked when cleaning?

jaden_y said:

actually these files has a different date of creation from the date that i downloaded the game. and i'm amolst sure that is the date that i installed the mod.

You can move your old save games to a separate folder or simply rename the save game folders if you want to keep them for future use.
Ren'Py games usually have 2 folders with save games :
1. C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\RenPy\BeingaDIK...
2. game\saves
You should remove the incompatible files from both folders.
Usually it's good to keep the "persistent" files, but in case of a modded game they might be broken, too.

To start anew, simply rename both save folders. The game will create new empty folders.
Since it will likely take 1-2 weeks (or more?) until episode 5 hits, it is a good time to replay the game from start.
(If you disable mini-games, it will be easier.)

For the most part I agree, though being less dark than Acting Lessons is a very low bar to clear.

That said, I do worry we are letting where we WANT the story to go cloud our judgement over where it will go. The narrative digressions about Bella and doors in Episode 3 are certainly ominous, and there's no shortage of other topics that could take a grim turn if DPC wanted them to.

I don't expect anything as crazy as, say, Maya to accidentally gun down Jill when Quinn finally drives her over the edge. But I could definitely see things like Maya being forced to withdraw from college and stuck under her father's thumb, or Sage taking the fall to protect the HOTs. Things that, even if we could avoid some of them, would still leave a very bittersweet taste when all is said and done.

Really, it comes down to whether this is a genuine lighthearted farce, or if it's only pretending to be one to amplify the shock when the real world intrudes on our fun. I'm certainly hoping for the former, but I can't rule out the latter until we get much closer to the ending.

I do hope that the next episode comes soon. DPC is awesome at story telling. I played Dik before Acting Lessons and oh boy what that a quick in the balls! Completly different stories....but hey...Dik is not yet finished but i hope it doesn't have such a heavy take like AL. The characters are funny and all have their special traits...and some of the parts does take me back several years when i was in university (drinking games are allways quite fun right?). Quinn, or as i call her "The Queen Bitch" is a evil yet lovable character to be around. Camilla is quite a sexbomb and Sage...well..she is red so that is allways self explaining! Maya and Josy are cute and sweet....i'm happy that my first ending was with both of them. Isabella is the hot woman in the campus that anyone would love to get their hands on. Jill is fun but honestly a bit dull for me...at least for now but who knows! What about Derek? That one is hillarious...the gender equality classes are some have some of the best comedies moments i saw in VN's!

Dik is not only a click, click, click and get to the "fun part" game. It's enjoyable reading it...knowing the characters and having some laughs. See you guys at the end of Hell's Week!
