Hi when I use the Sancho Gallery and change the MC's name it still remains Alex in the replays.
Not anywhere I can find with either version. So, which version (Steam or non-Steam) and what scene. More importantly (since it's basically impossible for your issue to exist if the mod is installed correctly) what else is broken?

Non steam version
Every Scene
Mod is installed correctly
At first it worked properly and the only things that's changed since is I installed win 11.
I'll try re-installing game and mod and see if it fixes.
Thanks!

Holy shit! Yeah, that's a bit of a change. I insure you that if you install the VN fresh, then the mod with no shenanigans then it will work just fine. It's already been DL'd thousands of times with no SanchoGallery issue.

LOVE the mod (and all your others!), only issue I have is I have Dialogue text size set to 37, but it reverts back to the default 27 every time I load my save. Everything else works properly. Using the non-steam version (just to be sure, the F95 version of the game is the non-steam, right? Because thats what I have and ive been using the non-steam version of the mod).

Hmmm... it shouldn't be doing that and that's likely the VN's default text size. Let me check something...

Edit: I see now. I've changed the way dialogue text renders when loading... and it's in most every SanchoMod now. I'm trying to recall why I reverted back to OEM size on load (and usually 2-4 pnts smaller if SanchoFont is used). There was a really good reason but I'll be damned if I can think of it at the moment. I do know I've always reverted font size during SanchoGallery but after a Load is a rather newer thing. Let me check my archives for notes... probably a few months back.

And to answer the Steam thing... you are either playing the VN via the Steam platform (purchased it via their platform) or you're not.... and you're not, so non-Steam is correct for you.

Most likely due to Steam re-verification or updating after you installed the mod. Install the mod again over the existing Steam VN installation. See post here that confirms it. You see, when Steam re-verifies a game or updates then some of the files included with the mod get overwritten by their originals, so reinstallation of the mod will be necessary. Make sense?

Sorry should've mentioned that I saw that, and re-downloaded/installed the mod and I still get the same error unfortunately.

There should be no way then that the error you have is possible. Please insure you have no rpy/rpyc files in the installation folder or any of its subfolders (specifically the game/scripts folder most importantly). If you do find any rpy or rpyc files then delete them... they are not part of the base VN nor the mod.

Otherwise does it do this if you start a new playthrough (for testing purposes)?

Ah found out what was causing it. I kept a renamed version of the original scripts.rpa file, deleting that fixed it.

Thank you for the help (and amazing mod)

You can do that, but the renaming must also change the file suffix as well. I use ".disabled" added to the original suffix in my own practice, that way I only have to change file suffixes and never the prefix. Just an FYI.

Sancho1969 Found an error in CH8 when i get home with Lisa and i chose ''Are you kidding?'' if i want to go for her sex scene option. Ignoring it skips a part of dialogue where i can chose ''No... the price is too high'' if im in a relationship with Jaye or Mallory which is required to get Achievement #178. So right now this achievement is unobtainable looks like. Put in a save file right at that dialog choice if needed.

Code:
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

The theme for Mal/Jay is basically identical except the character shown at the main menu. It works on my end and for others so I can't say what's wrong on your end. If you choose Mal then she will be shown on the Main Menu, if you choose Jaye then she will be, etc.

SanchoVolume does work but for selected audio fx. The softer "boing" sound is not affected while all other sfx are (for example the MiniMenu Open/Close sfx is a higher-pitched "click"-type sound that is affected by that volume slider, and the main reason it exists due to a few requests some time ago. For the more subtle and softer sfx used in the mod I did not hook them, as I think they are a necessary effect for the overall mod aesthetic.

Loaded up your save, chose all possible choice options, no issues on my end at all:
The menu choice in question:
1703330633507.png
Next possible menu choice if "price to high" is selected in that save:
1703331111274.png
Next possible menu choice if "I can change your mind" is selected in that save:
1703330646087.png

Both cheevos fire off depending on choice made:
1703331322733.png

I tested via non-Steam since you didn't specify.

Honestly, if you're getting an error exactly:
TypeError: If() got an unexpected keyword argument 'smcheevo'
then you are going to crash throughout the entire VN since I use that dict key ~150 times in the mod.
