Location of game files

#1 by Mmeaninglessnamee - Jan 1 2014

I recently bought LLTQ and really like it, but I happened to be looking through the files for the game and am confused about where some of the files are.

For example, C:/Program Files (x86)/Long Live The Queen/game/map has only the file "barracks" (the barracks icon, of course), game/heads has only alice and evrard, and game/music has only the chopin peace for death.

I know from reading an older forum topic that the music might be under copyright or whatever and thus could possibly be a more encrypted filetype or something, but I can't find anything in the forums or on my computer to indicate where the other game files are.

[Windows 7 professional. I got the demo first, then the full version from the site. I also have a steam copy, and the files for it are also incomplete in the same manner.]
Any help or info is appreciated. My game works fine, but the missing files bug me enough that i made an account to post this.
[edit: i've also searched my computer for files/folders named for the game engine. Nothing, not even save files]

Most sounds and images are in the .rpa (Ren'Py Archive) file LongLiveTheQueen/game/llq.rpa.

Yeah, the game files are archived, so you can't really get your hands on the music or art for obvious reasons.

Ah, okay. It seems like the barracks and misc other stuff added later just weren't put in the archives, I guess.

I'm assuming that people who have game images for their avatars then just cut them out from a screenshot. (or that those people have extra access because they are mods or something)

It just means that I'll have to get the images myself if I want a gallery of all of Elodie's incredibly cute emotions.

There are a few expressions of hers on the forum, in the avatar gallery.

Files added later weren't archived so that people using the updater to patch wouldn't have to redownload the entire archive.
