Not sure why anyone would feel the need for a whole mod for one small thing like a name change, especially when it's incredibly easy to modify the files for the game already. For other things, sure, but for just changing the names it seems excessive.
new mod is not a replacement, your characters renaming feature is a must have with how retarder naming choices in this game, at least don't remove your link to Ch7Part2 fix, it's better than nothing
If you're not on Android, there's literally nothing preventing you from making the changes easily. The game doesn't use archives (.rpa files), so you can just make sure the game is not running and then open script.rpy in the \game folder using any basic text editor (Notepad, TextEditor, Notepad++, etc.). At the very top are character definitions. Just change the names provided to whatever you want, save the file, and then start the game again.

That does not work, most names are hardcoded in the game. A quick "search and replace" does not work either. Tried it, got an error. Probably some variables have the names in it, too. Yes, the mc name can be changed in the main game already, but not all the others.

Ah, well, I don't care to change any names, so I didn't realize they got defined but then not really used later. I do see the variables used, but apparently only when the code confirms your mention of the relationships:
So yeah, I guess never mind. This seems odd to me, but maybe the developer originally thought to allow the names to be variable and then changed his decision. Hard to say. Since EthanKrautz is on this forum, maybe you can convince him to change it so those are all variable instead. But I really don't know why he has it coded the way it is.
A find-and-replace would only work if you were careful with it. If you just tell the program to replace all of them, you'd potentially run into problems as you describe. Some text editors (Notepad++ for sure) have a search option to match the whole word only. That would be the better way to do it with find-and-replace, but also looking at each replacement to make sure. It's much slower, but you trade time required for accuracy in results.
I still don't know why anyone would worry about changing the names (you don't change the names of characters in books, films, plays, or operas), but to each their own. If it means so much to you, I guess the mod might be your best bet, at least for now.

Normally I don't even change mc names and use the default ones. Also actually here with Ethan, have no problems with it. But the Aysha/Alysha/whatever is so confusing sometimes that I was happy being able to rename them in the koga mod. Anyway, lost a bit of interest for the game now since the great music addon from him is gone now, too.
I'm still not sure why someone had to make a new mod for something already was available and even more
The MC name isn't imo hard coded, you actually should be able to rename it even without mod. But as already said the other family members you can't change the names, "only" the relationships at the game beginning.
I have no idea, I don't know much about coding.
I just picked something that seemed short and simple (for me).
As for the names, each one has a meaning and therefore a personality.
To tell you the truth, I never change the names of characters from other games.
Hey don't say that word in my thread. It is forbidden, it is heresy.
For poll on Patreon
Last day of voting, at the moment I see that there is a clear preference for Alysha (obviously), but the alt tier are voting for the crazy Euphor. And well... I just hope it doesn't happen the same as the last poll.
Since not everything is for everyone, I gave the game a chance, but it really isn't for me. I even liked the characters, but definitely, the fetishes presented, are not to my liking. I read some comments from the developer, he said he likes the fetishes and is happy with it. That's what matters, if he's happy, that's what really matters. Good luck to the developer, and good game to those who stay.
========================================================================= Dec. 22, 2022 New game version Ch7Part2 is out.
Since I have enhanced work shifts the next days unfortunately I don't know when I can do a full Mod update.
Most likely not before Christmas, maybe even not before end of next week. So I made a quick Mod patch, with it
my Mod Ch7P1 should be at least compatible to the new game version. I also already tried to add the WT/WT+ infos,
but it's not fully testet from me so far.
Edit: Seems someone else is taking over here.
Since I have now less free time anyway I'll stop mine therefore again, avoid of course double work.
