Mod Ren'Py Being a DIK [S1/S2 v0.8.3 & S3 v0.10.1] Multi-Mod [Sancho1969]

Damn, I just realized I had forgot all about the damn Vault code and potential PackQuest.
I'm sorting them now... pay attention to the MiniStat on FreeRoams if only on the last FR and I'll guide ya.

Geez... to hell with these damn PackQuests. Once I finish coding them all I'm grabbing this afternoon's first whiskey. Looking for little white dots in some areas that are a clusterfuck anyway it... painstaking to say the least.

8 of 10 coded:

Hey, guys, just wanted to ask one thing. First of all, Sancho your mods are the best out there, easily. Just finished episode 9 and I'm not starting 10. I was wondering if it is because I'm using the current version of the mod and if I play 10 unmodded, will that break the game if i try to load your saves later ? Thanks in advance and thanks for your hard work!

You need the save fixer off page one of this thread to play with modded games before the mod is updated, remember to delete the save fixer when you download the updated mod though.

To clarify the above, if you wish to load a save in any VN update unmodded that you previously used SanchoMod in then simply install the SaveFixer file found in each SanchoMod OP. Important note: some are different than others so go to the specific SanchoMod thread to be sure you are using the correct fixer.

Now, if you do this and later decide to install the pending mod update (I'm getting closer to done here) then you MUST delete that SaveFixer file from your "/game" directory BEFORE installing the mod.

Bottom line: The SaveFixer and SanchoMod (the mod) don't play nice with each other.

Make sense?

Pack quests, does really anybody plays this useless waste of time? DPC tries everything to make this game as annoying as possible, but pack quests? They are even worse then the pathetic minigames.

Worked like a charm, I gotta say, the game feels a lot emptier without your mod, haha, I was so used to it. Thanks for the help!

I like to do everything. It's fun.

In your screenshots, you have 'Ep9TopThree'. Is that to remind the player what path they're playing? If so, very cool addition

Negative... the paths are listed in the "Relationship" section of that MiniStat and change dynamically as you play.

The TopThree is what you selected in during the costume contest in Ep9 where it's highly relevant.
I haven't cleaned it out of the MiniStat for Ep10 just yet... that'll be during final code cleanup.

Spoiler free:

Okay, a bit of a delay that last couple hours. While finishing that code for the PackQuest (and Vault) I slowed down instead of speedrunning (so I could manually hunt down the PackQuest micro-dots) and realized that my FreeRoam guide for the final wasn't up to par. It needed more detail on where hidden objects are and how the story plays out during the free roam event (you'll know what I mean when you play it). So, I tightened it up.

The MiniStat is going to be change it's info a lot during the final free roam so know it's a thing.

I have some teaser pics but will place them in a spoiler out of full respect:

With that said the "Others" is now 100% complete. That leaves me with ~3hrs before midnight. I've yet to eat any dinner so I don't know if that's enough time for me to knock out the polish for the main LI paths. The bulk of all the foundation is done though. So, don't be bummed, I'm making it all better so you won't be disappointed in the initial product update release.

Is this updated for episode 10 yet? I got a gallery unlocker but I noticed four scenes were not unlocked yet and was curious

Coming very soon... I've been working my ass off. It's way past midnight here now so I'm afraid it won't be until sometime "tomorrow". I just can't release it until it early. The little things matter and damn, they sure take time.

Ain't no worries my good sir!, no rush/hurry.

I'm making keystroke mistakes... even in my posts. Nap time...it's 0100hrs.

Good morning,

Got a 4.5hr rest and back to it with a full pot of coffee.

I appreciate the patience as I still feel strongly that if I had just shoveled a mediocre mod update in less than 48hrs it would not truly meet expectations of the normally fully-polished SanchoMod legacy. I hope you will see and appreciate my efforts when I get this update deployed... today is the obvious goal.

There's so many little things I sorted like Pink making the difficulty setting for the new Brawler app permanent. It no longer is since you can now change that difficulty at any time you want in SanchoCheats.

I've fully automated cheats for all minigames except: PartyPlanner, Science class, and the new Brawler. These require more time investment (which I'll do) but I don't want the mod update delayed due to the amount of time I likely need to sort them properly.

As with last night when I crashed I'm semi-speedrunning the main LI paths to finish their respective polish and details. I did most of the typical update cycle code cleanup last night before I retired so that's ~1-2hr savings for today.

Anyway, enough of me yammering. I don't want to highlight too much so as not to spoil anything so I'll leave this progress update as is and get back to it.

Thanks again for your moral support and your patience. I'm certain once I push this update live and make a post in the VN's thread it'll get buried within 30mins and the only folks that will ever really know it's a thing are you folks. So, I'm basically making a badass custom mod for "friends"... and I'm okay with that. Regards.
