*** The latest SanchoMod Core v7b ***
Massive overhaul of core mod with 1,000's of cumulative hours in development
Note: the "patch" is built-in and even toggle-enabled, no need to install it separately.
Updated: 07-22-2023
Game/Creator: Hard to Love / Qori Gaming /You must be registered to see the links
Modder: Sancho1969 F95
Mod Version: S1 v0.042 / S2 v0.0.61
Game Version: S1 v0.042 / S2 v0.0.61
Language: English
Features:
- Improved aesthetics with animated mod menus/screens, all fully customizable to tailor your personal experience.
- Too many story branches got you down 'cause you can't remember which of your saves is which? I gotcha covered. Includes the Original SanchoMod save description feature. Often imitated (including the use of my GUI buttons) the SanchoSave is more intelligent and efficient, saving you keystrokes as it autoloads the save slot descriptions and it also allows you to completely escape the process of saving if you wish (I've personally not seen this feature with other imitations). Feature can be toggled on/off anytime as desired.
- Adds multiple exhaustive stats screens always accessible via the MiniMenu or Options menu. Resizable, toggle-enabled, various formats, and more.
- Adds in-game walkthrough (ChoiceGuide) noting all variable changes and highlighting important choices. Can be toggled on/off at anytime, play as YOU want to play. You are not forced to view spoilers if you do not wish.
- Multiple opacity and text sizing options to customize your experience including dialogue boxes, text and fonts, QuickMenu sizing and format versions, and more. All can be toggled on/off as desired, again allowing you even more control to tailor your experience.
- Adds a custom fully unlocked scene gallery (SanchoGallery) that runs completely independent.
- Adds professionally coded custom cheats (SanchoCheats) if applicable (varies from port to port).
- Adds the ability to view multiple scenes (SanchoSplits) if menu choice has a scene/route split.
- Adds toggled custom iPatch
- Too many new features to list.

My personal thanks (as always) to the hardworking devs, compressors, and admins. Kindest regards and be well.
I've recoded the "patch" of the mod to work with the new code, so that's done.
Don't hate me, but read the thread a bit bud... did you not see the post directly above yours?
This seems to be a common thing with devs sadly, especially the mini game/free roam/rpgm devs, they always wanna make games as hard to play as possible for whatever reason. Always kill save files, move save file locations to annoy you and many other things. Not sure how these people expect people to want to give them money when they do stuff like that.
Nah, there's nothing in Ep5 that would break... I checked, even the "i-Patch" code is sound. I have no idea why it was done though. There's no rollback blocks in Ep6 (either the last update nor this new one). It truly boggles the mind as to why it was done tbh. I'd remove them via a cheat (allow them to be toggled) but I'm on the fence as it's just another thing I'll have to remember to do each pending update in the future... and the way things have been going with this VN I'm a bit gunshy to add more features than I already have (which is quite a few more than normal).
$ ep06_oilapply = random_menu(
None, None, None,
[
(not ep06_oil_back, "Back", "ep06_ambernight_app_back"),
(not ep06_oil_legs, "Legs", "ep06_ambernight_app_legs"),
(not ep06_oil_feet, "Feet", "ep06_ambernight_app_feet"),
]
)
if ep06_rub == "ep06_ambernight_rub_back":
jump ep06_ambernight_app_back
elif ep06_rub == "ep06_ambernight_rub_legs":
jump ep06_ambernight_app_legs
elif ep06_rub == "ep06_ambernight_rub_feet":
jump ep06_ambernight_app_feetmenu:
"Lock the Door":
mc_s "Okay, okay. Let's lock the door then."
amb "I'm sure [mo_r] knows what we're up to anyway."
mc_s "Yeah, but let's not make it obvious."
pass
"Leave and Avoid Awkwardness":
mc_s "Uhm... I don't know, Amber... I can't."
...menu:

"Feet" if not ep06_oil_feet:
jump ep06_ambernight_app_feetdef random_menu(character=None, character_dialogue=None, prompt=None, options=[]):
shuffled_options = list(options)
renpy.random.shuffle(shuffled_options)
menu_items = [
(label, action)
for condition, label, action in shuffled_options
if condition
]
if prompt is not None:
menu_items.insert(0, (prompt, None))
if character and character_dialogue:
renpy.say(character, character_dialogue)
return renpy.display_menu(menu_items)
This seems like it happens with every new update, always something gets massively changed, and usually not a benefit to the people who play it/support it.
Gah.Houston, we have a problem.
The dev has implemented 28 "random" style menu choices via code she obviously didn't create herself.
An example:
The problem is that SanchoMod's guide Python code is setup for standard RenPy context menu choices that call a specific language menu choice screen.Python:$ ep06_oilapply = random_menu( None, None, None, [ (not ep06_oil_back, "Back", "ep06_ambernight_app_back"), (not ep06_oil_legs, "Legs", "ep06_ambernight_app_legs"), (not ep06_oil_feet, "Feet", "ep06_ambernight_app_feet"), ] ) if ep06_rub == "ep06_ambernight_rub_back": jump ep06_ambernight_app_back elif ep06_rub == "ep06_ambernight_rub_legs": jump ep06_ambernight_app_legs elif ep06_rub == "ep06_ambernight_rub_feet": jump ep06_ambernight_app_feet
An example:
This "random" function requests a list for it's input. SanchoMod's guide is a multi-function coded app on it's own, not a list. So, I have to figure out a way to recode these damn random menu choices. It's stupid really as that very first example could have simply be written the standard RenPy way such as:Python:menu: "Lock the Door": mc_s "Okay, okay. Let's lock the door then." amb "I'm sure [mo_r] knows what we're up to anyway." mc_s "Yeah, but let's not make it obvious." pass "Leave and Avoid Awkwardness": mc_s "Uhm... I don't know, Amber... I can't." ...
I can only assume she did this 'cause she either doesn't know that RenPy menu choices can work of conditionals (like my final example) or she just wanted to jumble the order of the choices up for no real apparent reason. I have no idea... but this a massive new delay I did not see coming from a mile away.Python:menu: "Back" if not ep06_oil_back: jump ep06_ambernight_app_back "Legs" if not ep06_oil_legs: jump ep06_ambernight_app_legs "Feet" if not ep06_oil_feet: jump ep06_ambernight_app_feet
This won't be a quick fix... and I'm not about to recode all those damn menu choices and those in the future, fuck that. With the mod being created for the huge price of free I don't think I bank enough to waste that much time so I must think of a way via code to inject into that random menu function nonsense.
That function is exactly this for those who are code literate:
Fuck my life... no, fuck this VN, my life is fine. But now I need another drink...Python:def random_menu(character=None, character_dialogue=None, prompt=None, options=[]): shuffled_options = list(options) renpy.random.shuffle(shuffled_options) menu_items = [ (label, action) for condition, label, action in shuffled_options if condition ] if prompt is not None: menu_items.insert(0, (prompt, None)) if character and character_dialogue: renpy.say(character, character_dialogue) return renpy.display_menu(menu_items)
Zero at this point unless I just forget about the random choice menus and move on... then it's like a more normal VN and I can pop it out quickly enough... but the VN update just dropped this morning so it's not like I've been working on it for a week. It's not even been one day yet.
Haha, I doubt it will be today, just play and then come back and play again when the mod is done.
