Katawa Shoujo Forums

I have a MacBook Pro, specifically a 10.6.8 Snow Leopard if that information is even needed, and I have a friend who wants to play the game, starting from the beginning with their own judgement, well, probably their own judgement. I want to know how delete ALL the game data, but how do I do that? I tried to delete and reinstall the game, but that didn't work it, kept the data. And what I mean I want to delete are the little check marks next to each decision, the end were you must make a single decision, the scrapes of paper that appear at the main menu, and all the extras. What do I do?

Hi, I don't have a mac, so I cannot give precise information, but I can probably point you in the right direction.

Ren'py, the engine that Katawa Shoujo use stores user/player data in a directory separate from the install folder.

On Windows it would look something like this:
C:\Documents and Settings\myusername\Application Data\RenPy\

On UNIX-like systems (Linux and probably Mac OS X) it looks like this:
/home/myusername/.renpy/

Looking in the equivalent directory in you OS would be the first thing to try.

In case of games the main benefit is that you can install the game/program wherever you want, and each user can have their own set of saves/settings for it.

It also helps in allowing the install-folder to be read-only for the user, that is good prectice from a security standpoint.

I did a system search, and my computer could not find anything by the name if renpy. Sorry.

Don't be (sorry), it's me who couldn't provide specialized information after all.

I tried searching the Ren'py forums, and this thread might be what you are looking for:
http://lemmasoft.renai.us/forums/viewto ... OS#p187000

You could try looking at that forum too, since it's a general Ren'py thing.

I just deleted my Ren'Py folder, thank you! While I was gone I deleted all everything I could find related to the game recently that wasn't in the Ren'Py folder, I went to the main site and re-downloaded the game (it is still downloading), and just now found the Ren'Py folder and deleted it. It should work now, I will get back to here if it doesn't, but it probably will. Thank you again.

It worked! Yay!

Yay indeed. (Just be careful if you have more than one Ren'py powered game.)

Thanks for taking the time to check back with a reply. Technical minded people can find dangling threads quite frustrating, so posting that it indeed worked is always a good thing.

Oh, and I think you should mark this thread as [SOLVED]. (Just append it to the title of the first post.)
