Bonus Scenes Patching Guide
Since 0.23, adding the bonus scenes in is much easier! While the post that includes the instructions isn’t public, i think reposting just those should be fine:
For PC/MAC:
- Unzip this file package
- Paste all the files in the zip package into the "game" folder of the game folder
- Run the game and open the gallery
For Android:
- Download the main game's PC version(Not the .apk one!) and paste it into your Phone.
- Find and install "Joiplay" here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/joiplay-1-20-500-102527164 (JoiPlay and Ren'Py Plugin) P.S: do check Joiplay’s Patreon’s main page for more recent and free builds, that’s the one Caro linked at the time!
- Download the bonus patch pack.
- Unzip and Paste all the files in the zip package into the "game" folder of the game folder
- Run the game and open the gallery
For iOS:
Search "Spark - Ren'Py Novels” in the App Store . (It's also the way to play the main game on iOS.)
The rest of the steps are the same as for Android, the only difference is that "Renpyviewer" is not free, you need to pay for it.
P.S: I use a PC, but a common mistake might be unzipping the bonus and dragging the bonus folder inside “game” with the files all still in… DRAG THE FILES OUT, put them in the “game” folder, it should look like this (the bonus files you have to add in are highlighted):
(ignore the purple icons and the spaghett language, that's the editor i associate to RPY files… and me being a pizzayosh~).
Pre-0.23 method, i’ll keep this mostly for game history purposes:Link to Patreon PostSince I can’t test on Mac, I’d rather send you to the post with Caro’s tutorial for both PC and Mac users, remember that only patrons with access to the Patreon version can download this. It will also work on any version of Tavern of Spear that has the gallery In it.
I suggest you read the passages under the pics, and look, step by step, if the directory and the files in it are right. If the “bonus” button does not appear in your game, chances are you didn’t click on “start” in the bonus .exe, also, extract the archive to a new folder, DIFFERENT from the one where you keep the actual game. If you encounter an “exception” error screen when clicking on “bonus”, you probably forgot to put one or more files in the “game” folder.
Your “game” folder should have those new .rpy and .rpyc files, and the “images” folder taken from the “TOSBONUS” folder, but only after you unlocked everything running the .exe in the archive containing the bonus.
Several people had problems and we all helped them out, so feel free to ask on our Discord, good luck!
