SanchoNote (post copy from mod's thread)
Since Bianca and Lisa are two of my personal faves, they get some special treatment in this update.
I'm extending both of their scenes (compared to the original VN scenes) and also using some other coding trickery to combine variants and minimize choices required within the scenes when viewed within SanchoGallery.
Both of these setups required massive ChoiceGuide coding work to make them fully dynamic (all the information changes dependent on your current playthrough previous choices). Some examples:
For these specially coded "Extended" versions I made I've labeled them as such within SanchoGallery either via "Extended" or "Ext" (due to text space constraints):
When a scene has variants I've consolidated them so that the mod's gallery is more efficient in choosing and aesthetic. An example when selecting the above Lisa scene:
None of the above SanchoGallery code will be obvious during normal VN playthrough (except the ChoiceGuide of course), so your experience should be seamless and intuitive... that's the goal anyway.
Be sure to check out the new SideImage toggle feature being introduced as well. You can find that post here if interested.
Speaking of goals, my intent is to get this update done, tested, and pushed public today/tonight at some point... as my personal gift to you CS fans. The non-Steam variant will be pushed first. Other than that I'm still providing bug/issue reports to the dev team as I get to finalizing this Ch8 update.
Regards.
