Please help - jump bug with novel progress hack
professorbutters:
It does appear in the BV directory, though, doesn't it? Good point, though. That's why I always download the hacks for the EP I have, carefully noting the date and sometimes pulling over all of them. If something suddenly *isn't* there, I know to check the boards and try to find out why.
Novelprogress still works fine in BV.
It's helpful to note, though, that sometimes "obsolete" hacks are still necessary for Macs. If Pescado's made them obsolete, then yes, they're obsolete, but if an EAxis patch has made them obsolete, the hack might still be needed.

Even if the hack, which i now realize was not updated for FT, i did not had the jump bug, this happend after installing AL.
You must have a special game then - some might even call it a "speshul snowflayke" of a game. Everyone else who didn't bother to update their hacks and tried to run FT with the novelprogress hack in encountered this problem. Some of them were even stupid enough to come here to complain that an obsolete hack caused problems in their game. I think it was kind of them to give us something to point & laugh at, don't you?

Since i lost my download folder, i had to start collecting hacks again.
In your case, you compounded the stupidity. It wasn't a leftover hack that was overlooked in your downloads folder when you installed a later EP - which, while not too bright, is fairly common. In your case it was a hack you deliberately searched for when you rebuilt your trashed downloads folder. When you couldn't find it in the hacks directory for your latest EP, you went out of your way to find a hack that wasn't marked as compatible with AL. After all the EP releases over the years you should know by now that if a hack is not compatible with your latest EP then it's not compatible with your game - it only takes installing one new EP to learn that.

Yes, but if you had read the OP in its entirety, you would have noticed that their configuration is not the same as yours.

I have FT and AL.
Therefore, the use of the word 'obsolete' is entirely correct in this case. Every statement does not have to be vetted through the lens of every single, possible game configuration.
It's helpful to note that Pescado actively maintains hacks that go all the way back to the NL engine. I think you can assume he doesn't need to be reminded that older hacks are necessary.
