FYI: Again, I must emphasize as I'm taming this dynamic ChoiceGuide... there's many new event variables and we have no idea which ones are important and which are throw-aways. So, know by default, I'll recommend places I think you should make a save point but I honestly don't know exactly yet if any of the points are correct (we are playing the beginning of a season). So, taking that with a grain of salt make plenty of saves with Ep9... I'll do my best to help you recoup if you fuckup by adding cheats to SanchoCheat for important variables that allow you to adjust as the S3 continues (using the same logic as S2 so your saves aren't all messed up and corrupted like... some other products).

Just know it's all new at this point and I can't see the future anymore than anyone else.

It's the sharing that's important... and I fucking need the karma, seriously.
Aye!
I'm in the same boat. Not a day go by without thinking 'WTF did I do wrong/go wrong?'. ><
Off topic or not; These days, we live in a cruel and effed up world.
Thinking about one self first, shouldn't be an issue, as it's survival at this point.
You just happen share all your "selfish work"! :ROFLMAO:

Every little deed hopefully makes a change. Even on a effing "pirate forum"!
And I really hope you've earned quite a bit of "favor points" somewhere at this point for all this work you do!

I know you get asked about this all the time. So I'm not asking.. I'm just saying! :p
Know, if you finally cave in, allowing some form of dono, patreon, what not, I'll be jumping into that wagon with whatever I can.

But honestly, if it was something that'd be possible, I would have thanked you in person,
and bought you some effing drinks instead! ><
Cuz damn. All the BS you hear/read every day while trying to work, you deserve to let go of some steam, and damned break! ><

Cheers!

Edit: My 69th post, ended up in your thread! *wink wink* hahahah :ROFLMAO:

Bud, I'm not hurting for funds (I retired early in my mid-40's), I'm hurting for fucking good karma... that's all I strive for in this world... to give to others what I find beneficial to me. In this regard it's my shitty coding for cartoon porn... but it's one of many things I do in life at this point. I just want harmony, lack of discrimination (which I get on this site regardless... go figure), and for us all to be as one united globally. We're all but human at the end of the day... fuck all the son's of bitches and their power trips. I ran corporations that had contracts with some of the largest companies on this planet but you see me here, giving away my hard work for nothing... there are good folks left in the world folks, just know that is so. Together we are strong.

Edit: your 69th post... very fitting indeed sir, very fitting. I sincerely appreciate your kind words. You and many other folks on this site give me the hope to continue regardless of the oppression I get from being the black sheep, calling out bullshit when I see it even if it hurts "the elite's buddy club's" feelings. Fuck them. All my work, all of it is exclusive to this site. None of it on Patreon, Steam, etc... and those in power around here still...

nah, I'll stop here. Thanks again for your appreciation sir and to all my other moral supporters. Kind regards as always.

I lost it at this point.. :ROFLMAO:

And indeed.. Eff the SoBs and their powertrips.

All truths here!

And you doing your coding here, and sharing all the work.
I would believe it brings some good people together.(we being filthy pirates or not, don't matter! :p )
So that should be at least a few more "favor points" in your book right there!

Sadly, I don't have an comprehension in coding to help anyone in that regard.
I do "share" my own work as well however.
But likely not earning any favors for it though. :p

I'm a "struggling musician". Got slapped with arthritis in my 20s, forced to drop my "prospecting career".
So am now a "production artist" or "composer" if will, after about 12 years "break" with shitty treatments.
Making music mostly as my own "diary" for the past few years, for selfish reasons.
But caved in starting to upload my stuff publicly for some "interested parties".

Edit: And I'm the same man.. I call out BS all the time, and don't give a damned what people think of me afterwards! >< :ROFLMAO:

I'll join you in the "Black Sheep club" any day! ><

And ofcourse, any support, even if just morally, you get, is well deserved!

Getting back on track: Note that there's a new subcategory in FreeRoam guide being "Specifics/Details". I made this sub for specific items I found personally to be obscure... meaning you might get "stumped" with a certain task and where it's located at. I don't do this for each item (otherwise the guide takes away all the fun of actually playing the game... some gaming element must be retain imho). There's many examples I could submit but I'll offer this one since it's currently on my tasks... it's to be read as "additional info" that may otherwise seem convoluted during your playthrough. Of course for players that don't want spoilers simply turn Off the ChoiceGuide and you won't seen any of these hints... the choice is always yours to do so as you wish, that's how we roll. An example (see the very bottom of the MiniStat in this example) where in S2 you had to access the laptop in the wall safe to get PackQuests, but the safe is no longer present in the current update:
1671427350831.png

Edit: Just so you know, given this particular example, SanchoMod is coded to follow the issue. Note that after the player selects the appropriate response via the "phone" that the MiniStat tracks the "PackQuest" items in detail "X of Y number of items". Note that in the "Other Tasks, PackQuest" in the below example that was just enabled via the phone:

Pretty cool, right? Yeah, it's all in the details.

Again I post the same in this thread:

Please see post here or here or here. I never have needed extra money personally... ever. Therefore I didn't code a "cheat" for it. Regards.

If really want to edit money, you can easily do it via Ren'Py save editor. or the online save editor.
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

1. It's not recommended to do this, at all. Even if a "innocent" money edit, it is changing something that's not organically done by playing the game. Note. Anything that changes any whatever value, can always potentially mess up something, even with no "oops".
2. Nearly every Free roam, you can get $$ from fights in "Brawler" accessed by phone(one per fight, normally Nerds and Jocks opponent. Some times you get a skill point instead), and use Sancho's "auto win" feature.

It literally only take about 10 seconds to complete two fights.
AND, there's 2 - 4 ( maybe more?) cash laying around to be picked up freely every free roam.

You get way more money than you'll ever need just by playing.

Hope that helps! ;)

Indeed. If one utilizes the SanchoMod minigame cheats if desired, obtaining money is very fast... but it's always optional of course.

It's now past 0200 hours here (early morning). I'm going to shut down the studio, grab a bite to eat and call it a day. I'll report back after a few hours of shuteye. My hope is that sometime tomorrow I'll have something in your hands. No promises, but that's the goal I've set for myself to keep me pressing the pedal to the metal. Regards and good evening to you and yours.

Don't kill yourself getting this mod to us.

If you die who will deliver future updates? Just sayin' ;)

Anything that you feel like doing to make the plodding-skipping-around-the-house-free-roam faster would be greatly appreciated. Especially since it's a long game and there's like 2,000,000 paths ;-) Dev just doubled-down on the free roam in this last episode, sheesh.

Thanks for the mod! Cheers!

Scrappy already updated their mod, also this mod is no longer linked on the main thread
Sancho took down the mod link himself because he's updating it. Scrappy is great. I love Scrappy. Their mods are my only choice sometimes and I'm thankful there's something there. But the reason Scrappy is done already is that their mod is a simple "up/down" mod. It isn't a tracker. It doesn't point out hidden magazines and keep a scoreboard of variables. It doesn't flesh out the task list showing everything you can do during a freeroam. It just says DIK +1 or CHICK +1.

Again, I love Scrappy, but for a complicated game like Being A DIK, I'm waiting for Sancho. Try to be patient.

Does the mod support multiple paths or is it like scrappys mod?
It supports multiple paths by turning on/off paths as needed and giving you the option at times to do "all". That said, I'm not sure how it works with major DIK/Chick choices etc.

Also, no guarantee that it's problem-free but the option is there.

Good morning folks. Just a quick post to let you know I've a fresh cup of coffee and back to it. Once I have this final FreeRoam guide knocked out I think I'll be able to give more insight on timeframes. Again, it doesn't appear to be much afterwards so that'll be the time for me to double-check all routes and polish the wheels on this beast. I'm doing my best to tweak all the little details as I go but there's always something to insure this hot rod wins concours.

I am just going to simply say this for now. :coffee:;)
