"Try it before you buy it" meaning I've done my best in the days this has taken to try to get up to standards I'm satisfied with... but you can likely tell from my posts that I know this is not my best work. I feel I've simply put a ton of bandaids on a shotgun wound until I figure out an efficient way to get this truly proper. It won't (it better not) break but I place very high standards on myself... and I'm not sure I met them in this particular case.
Some of these VN's are just brutal on me tbh. If you folks use the mod and don't notice any issues or anomalies I'll be flabbergasted. If the dev hadn't already hooked in other extensive Python base code (that the VN relies on to function) I would have simply stripped the entire foundation this house is built on and started from scratch... it'd take less time and effort.
But that's me likely sounding like a whiny bitch so I'll just shutup and grab another refill. I hope you folks are okay with the product but I'm on the fence at the moment.

I just updated and played 0.8.5 with the mod; worked perfectly and the menus look and work okay. (Assuming this was basically a one scene update from 0.8.1, the kitchen scene.)

TY Sancho, wasn't going to play this without your mod. You have done wonderful work & it's not the same without it.

I haven't finished coding the Core v7 and there's API's and functions that are simply not compatible (in any current SanchoMod regardless of VN). I won't have time to sort those issues until after I finish the Core for this run... and with all the VN updates that have been dropping I've barely been able to keep up with just updating those. I'll get to it at some point otherwise shouldn't have any API issues with win/mac/linux (hopefully).

.... okay, you got me scratching my head here (seriously). At the beginning of almost every scene it specifically asks whether the protag is to be Male or Female.

Well, one scene, but went through with no problems from the mod. If I knew it was going to go that fast, I would have moved it to the top, but either way, thank you so very much for your work on this mod!!!

I just double-checked. Literally every single scene in SanchoGallery presents the protag gender choice:
Yeah. It goes by your ingame save. However, there is an issue, bro.
But in the scene replay:

Some time ago (after the dev completely changed the protag vars, I think it was v0.8beta or so) I removed the ability to change the protag gender names in the gallery until I knew the dev was finally settled on the variable name. Until I place the feature back in the Player MUST have started a new playthrough far enough at the "hotel room checkin" scene to set the name for the specific gender. In other words, to have a name set for "Female" (for example), start a new playthrough and skip ahead until the name can be input in-game. Once you set that you can exit the playthrough and the name will carry over to SanchoGallery.
I know this is not convenient but who on Earth changes variable names once a VN has already started production? There was no conflict being resolved by the change at all.
That's the skinny to date.
I did a restart. Because I forgot everything I did previous. My last save was from the drunken bj back in 2021. It didn't work. lol
Edit:
I'll restart again.

That reminds me of when I was programming a video game of mine late into the night and I had problems I just couldn't figure out. Went to sleep, practically dreamed about it and when I woke up, I had the answer to my problems! LOL... rushed into my computer room first thing and coded that sucker while it was fresh in my mind.Yay! It's finally done... and that earns me tonight's first adult beverage or I'll have nightmares of recoding UI script for certain.
All BS aside let me know what you think... but before you're too harsh on me play or look at the VN unmodded first so you know what it was like before hand. That's a fair.
I learned that we think better AFTER some rest. A sleepy head is not very good for resolving problems.

Indeed tunnel vision of one's solving process is the most of evil inefficiencies and maddening circumstances. In this VN's particular case I don't have that problem, it's rather the time and effort it takes to completely rewrite the UI code over and over again. Me being honest it's the bulk of the time I spend on every new VN I port, but once the foundation is done I don't generally intend to have to revisit it as deeply as this VN has run me through it's ringer. It is what it is though... I haven't raised the proverbial white flag just yet. Third time's likely the charm though... we'll see what happens from here.That reminds me of when I was programming a video game of mine late into the night and I had problems I just couldn't figure out.
