Fixes

In addition to including the yacht event fix, this mod for the game Monkey Business:
  • Fixes a broken variable required to trigger the “Web 3” scene,
  • Fixes a conditional that always triggered Mrs. Weeks’ revenge storyline if MC refuses to go on a date with Eve,
  • Fixes the variables that determine who gets rewarded after MC’s altercation with Victor,
  • Fixes a conditional so that Eve doesn’t give MC a handjob during the heist anymore if her corruption is low,
  • Fixes a conditional that accidentally skipped Kira’s first sex scene if several variables had the same value,
  • Fixes broken modifiers during the first therapy session,
  • Fixes the broken ending if MC never pursued Eve or Kira,
  • Fixes a few typos that caused the wrong renders to be displayed,
  • Reorders some lines of dialogue that only make sense on specific paths,
  • Fixes about a dozen redundant defaults and labels that prevented the dev tools from working.
Plus some minor improvements not worth listing here.


Interface
  • Most names have been recolored to better differentiate characters,
  • An optional transparent UI with white text and black outlines has been added.
Note: I initially wanted to add a number of customization options, but since the dev(s) decided to rewrite rather than edit the default Ren’Py template, that would have meant having to deconstruct the whole thing, and this already felt ambitious enough for a first mod.



Walkthrough

Hints that inform you whenever a choice favors a specific path can be toggled on and off from the Preferences screen.

Note: in order for this mod to work with every language, hints have to be added dynamically instead of being hardcoded into the script. This means you might have to roll back or save and reload to enable/disable the walkthrough mid-game.



Rewrite

This game was originally written in Russian, and its official English translation is a bit… awkward, sometimes inaccurate, and frequently uses the wrong character objects (e.g. non-relatives addressing Eve as “Mom”). Since simply proofreading it wouldn’t have been enough, an alternative, fully rewritten version has been made available via the US flag on the main menu.

Fun fact: one possible interpretation of the name “Kira” in Russian is “mistress”.



Italian translation compatibility

If installed prior to this mod, Gin’s translation will automatically be detected and the corresponding flag added to the main menu.

Any future translations can also be made fully compatible by editing the modded screens.rpy file instead of the original one.

It took me a while to actually find the walkthrough and interface choices in Preferences believe it or not! LOL

I would suggest simply assuming the user wants the interface modded and maybe asking if they want a walkthrough in the beginning of the playthrough

Just my two cents. Thanks again for this great mod

I don't know about overriding the original interface by default, but adding a message at the beginning of the game might not be a bad idea, since I could also use the opportunity to explain how the walkthrough works (another user seemed to find the hints confusing).

Edit 1: Done. I used a simple disclaimer instead of a menu in the end since both features rely on persistent variables, so there isn’t much point asking players about them every time they start a new game.

Edit 2: Updated the mod again after realizing I'd made a typo in the new intro, ironically.

As the walkthrough writer, I'm pleased to see a multi mod fixing web 3, because I legit tried everything wholesomely. Also yes, going for only Alice did make the game crash.

Kira being Russian for Mistress is funny given her sub path scenes. There are other tidbits I wrote about if you want to see what else was an issue, as in one of Kira dates (in the city/town after school) and the club with mom if you don't mind checking it out. I hope works well for future players who loves mods.

does this fix the mixup with the cousin's first sex scene?
Hey, which mixup are we talking about?

IIRC, weed_ev can end one of four ways:
  • MC hides with Ellie but isn't on Kira's path, so she stays asleep while Ellie and MC have sex,
  • MC hides with Ellie and is also on Kira's path, so she masturbates while watching them,
  • MC hides with Kira but isn't on her path, so nothing happens,
  • MC hides with Kira and is on her path, so they do a 69 while Ellie sleeps.
I don't recall this being inconsistent, so I'm not sure what you're referring to?

Yep, these have (hopefully) all been fixed now. The Web 3 scene was literally impossible to trigger, since the game expects the corresponding variable to be either 0 or 1 (i.e. False or True) depending on whether MC suggested doing the live-streams to Eve, but for some reason, Web 2 randomly added +1 again to that variable.

my bad maybe I just got confused
I thought there was a mix up where you got a sub sister scene while on dom path

Nah, Dom/Sub doesn't come into play here, but I can see why you'd think that.
The scene that does that was after iirc but its one of those win the video game(sub path) lose the game(dom path) things.

and yea the weed event is on those variables, but getting one unlocks them anyways. The guide was line by line for each scene unlock, with no "path immersion" breaking.

Ask Italian users why they are happy for the same game to be translated by 2 if not 3 different translators. ;)

It is not the language problem, because we all use automatic translators (Google and DeepL Pro), but the translation itself that can contain many bugs that crash the game. If you don't do a good and careful post production, the translation is overall bad.

We Italian translators are like bakers: everyone makes bread, but not everyone in the same way and with the same taste, so each user chooses the baker he or she prefers.

Your Mod was requested by a user. There are three Italian translations of Monkey Business, one with the link in OP, yet he asked me.

However, if it bothers you I will delete the post.

Did you make the English translation of the "American" folder?
The problem with translations from English is that if the English "is a bit... awkward," as you say, the Italian translation will be even more "awkward."
I directly translate the "American" folder into Italian, because the direct Russian-Italian translation is... "awkward."
It seems that translators like Google and DeepL are anglocentric.

That is correct, I definitely wouldn't recommend using the official "English" translation as reference.

Be aware however that I took a number of liberties while writing mine, so some people might prefer the original Russian version.

can you add sound, music to the mod in the future? Or this game is unable to have sound and music? the game has its sound files in the game folder but devs did not use it.
