Off hand, will you be creating a cheat for the new brawler a la SanchoAutoSmash? You might have mentioned earlier in this thread and I missed it.

Well, importing saves never worked for me. So, I just moved my save over to 10 and loaded it normally.
This little ditty explains the picture frame issue a bit. I thought we resolved your import issue before... didn't I give you all my personal pure S2 export data and persistent file via PM some time back? We did something I thought that was aimed at sorting out your S2 Export / S3 Import issues... but that's been a few moons and bottles of whiskey back.

We never did resolve that and all you gave me was your persistent file.

Thanks again for your amazing diligence and generosity sharing your flawless work.
Thanks for the kind words...but I can't accept flawless. Never will. There's always more to do but that's okay, I get what you mean in spirit and appreciate the sentiment bud.

Had a couple minutes to look into this a bit more:

Bud... go back and look at the PM convo... specifically post #6 where I gave you my personal S2 transfer data file. You're the only person on the planet besides me that has that golden nugget. I had assumed you used it, no? If so, you imports into S3 should be just dandy (minus having to change the MC's name and Pet names of course, although I don't think Pet names are in the exported data tbh).

If you need instructions on how to use it then just hit me up in that same PM. I have no intention of giving that file to anyone else, hence the PM. Check it out if you get some time to spare this weekend.

Oh! That big long named file. I remember now. I put it in both folders in AppData\Roaming\RenPy\ and it never worked.

No bud, it only goes inside only one folder being:
"AppData\Roaming\RenPy\persistent\"

BUT... backup the one you already have just in case... do that first.

Bro, when I say both, I meant both the BaDiK folders in Ren'py. Reasoning was that it didn't work when I put it in BeingaDIKSeason3-Patreon-1535311494 so I added it to BeingaDIK-1535311494.

Ahhh! Well, shit. I'll put it in the other one now. Fuck me.

Yeah, no... no BaDIK folder... "AppData\Roaming\RenPy\persistent\"

This is NOT a save file... it's export data. Different animal all together.

And don't be making new directories inside your AppData directory! :ROFLMAO::LOL: You risk the chance of pissing of Windoze if something goes wonky.

Sancho's Party Planner... semi-rant/thought process (long-winded)

Okay, since I had the project open anyway looking up all these things in all these posts I decided to give the Planner an honest analysis. I'm forgoing the planning grid auto-population theory as that is icing on the cake that hasn't been baked yet, so for now I'm working on a one-button version in testing.

Since I'm very concerned about keeping "cheats" as pure as possible (that nothing can be done in the mod that can't be done via unmodded play) I'm having to analyze a bazillion variables all at once with this damn mini-game. I also am coding this so as to not give a rat's ass if the Player has done anything on the grid themselves already so it can be fool-proof.

And that's the first real huge problem here... the planning girds. There's five different possible grids per Episode that are randomly chosen when the "Planning" process is initiated... FUCK!! Okay, more code analysis but doable, just a major PITA.

That said I started with the individual DIK member's happiness, stressing the lowest ones as priority and working my way up the chain until "normal resources" would no longer be available if not "cheating". I then cross check that with the particular grid's DIK member multiplier bonus possibility, using the VN's code (so as not to bork anything).

This is an example result (minus the Items and Efficiency which are still works in progress, see further below)... and yes, I take all your Party Planning money away you damn cheater!:


The result is a fully dynamic cheat that sets "happiness" and the bonus "multiplier" on a per-gameplay basis in a way that could only be achieved if playing unmodded (to keep your saves safe). Also note that, just like with all the other cheats, I'm not altering the VN's base code at all... I'm simply hijacking it, taking over, then giving control back to the VN to process. It's a real bitch to code this way but it's the safest way to create proper, professional cheats imho.

Now the extremely hard part: Analyzing the Items and Efficiency scores for each of the various grid patterns (this is going to be a real bitch to code). That's why you currently see both of those at zero in the above and why the final Rank is not better... but I'm working on it.

I actually quite like the party planning mini game, but there are plenty who seem to hate it and anything you can bake up for them will be hugely appreciated (y)
