SanchoMod progress update #whatever it is:
Good evening folks. Things should progress much faster for SanchoMod now. I have most of the base code done so it's a matter of progressing through the cases to populate all the dynamic code and functions.
Since I've added more interactive guide and I sincerely realize there's a broad line between holding someone's hand via a walkthrough guide and literally dragging them along for the ride, I've coded the "Xtra Info" in the MiniStat to be directly tied to the ChoiceGuide option. What this means is if you turn Off the ChoiceGuide then you turn Off the Xtra Info regarding Quests and Hotspot info (the Current Location stays put as it's helpful regardless of preference imho). An example to illustrate (for those not familiar with SanchoMod) is as follows regarding the Guide toggle Off/On:
With that out of the way I've made the Xtra Info even more dynamic than some of the other "free roam" events in other VN's I've modded taking into account time of day (as is vital in this VN from what I've seen so far). So, the "Quests" info will always let you know what your task is BUT will change color (and even blink when necessary to get your attention) depending on whether the particular task can be done now or not due to some condition (like time of day for instance). To illustrate this note the time of day and the color of the tasks in the following teasers:
And that's just one of dozens of features currently coded into the mod to date. Pretty cool, right? Yeah, I think so too. All of this just because y'all wanted a damn gallery and to do so I had to actually play the VN
. Like I said to begin this post, things should progress much faster barring any surprises since I have a solid foundation to progress on. Currently the gallery population is like this (I know, I need to get my ass in gear):
That's it for this wall-of-text post. See y'all next progress update report. Previous update/teaser posts:
