Medivh submitted a new resource:

Pactbinder - Pactbinder by choiceofmods

This is based on the public version of the game. It contains some fixes, a few tweaks so that the mod menu could work, the mod menu itself, and some options to get extra time in two spots of the game.
It also contains some editing to the icon by yours truly so that it could work as a square.

Medivh updated Pactbinder with a new update entry:

QoL Update

It is not necessary to update to this version, but it contains multiple features which I hope you will find useful.
These include:
-Making all temporary variables permanent ones, so that they can be modified with the Set Custom Variable mod option
-Allowing reuse to the choice that allows additional questions that I added in a scene, this way you should be able to select it repeatedly
-Adding an option to change your reputation with faction (not all of these will have an impact as of the...

Haven't updated yet but I did find a potential bug where finishing Chapter 4's Free Time segment ends the whole game.

Not fixable by the usual 'Save-Restart-Load' process so I might as well flag this down @Medivh

I did that on purpose, as by default that tries to continue the story, but since you are in chapter 4 it doesn't work (at least it failed the randomtests before the change).
Thanks for the report anyways.

No prob. So how does one progress Chapter 4 after free time, then? Basing in-game, depleting both freeTime and trainTime directs me to the 'Play Again' set of choices.

Even choosing the "That's all that you have time to pursue." choice leads me to the same final choice set.

The game ends at that point, when the next chapter is released I'll edit it so that it happens the after said chapter and so on.

Actually, I was wrong, I just double checked just to be sure and it seems that chapter 4 uses a *finish command instead of an *ending command, and as I placed freeroam after chapter 4 in startup.txt's scene list it leads you there even though it shouldn't, I'll test this now and upload a fix.

Medivh updated Pactbinder with a new update entry:

Ending Fix

I was told by @spstylepc that the game ended weirdly after completing the freeroam subsequent to chapter 4, it turns out that you aren't supposed to go from chapter 4 to the freeroam and that this happened because I placed freeroam at the end of the scene list and chapter 4 had a *finish command at the end that made it proceed to the next scene if there was one.
So, I modified freeroam to remove my previous fix, and startup to place it elsewhere on the scene list (and a...

Or rather, you are supposed to go to freeroam in the middle of the chapter, but due to placing freeroam after chapter 4 in the list I thought after looking at the randomtest that there was a freeroam after chapter 4, which led me to making the game end if you had reached chapter 4 and completed the freeroam.

This was of course, a bad idea given that I now know that you were supposed to go to freeroam in the middle of the chapter and that the second one was an error.

All of this is fixed and it should now work normally, if you had a save from the previous update that wasn't made during freeroam you can update the game and load it without problems.

And I'm sorry for not realizing all of this sooner, I thought your report had to do with how I implemented the ending previously rather than half of the last chapter being cut off.
