Well folks, Qori changed quite a bit in this new version. I see some "borrowed" code too, like identical to yours truly. Guess I'm honored. Regardless the menu system has changed and this VN was always a challenge to crap mod features into the UI... so I'm kinda starting from scratch with my pre-v0.05 code as a type of blueprint.

I really don't know how this will go... I need more time to asses (I just started about half an hour ago or so). Also, tonight's first glass of fine adult beverage would certainly help so I think I'll go grab that real quick...

Dang Qori, borrowing all my secret sauces:

Dev's save screen date formatting in Ep1-4:
text FileTime(slot, format=_("{#file_time}%A, %B %d %Y, %H:%M"), empty=_("")):

Every SanchoMod save screen date formatting you've seen in the last couple years or so:
text FileTime(slot, format=_("{#file_time}%m/%d/%Y, %I%p"), empty=_("")):

Dev's save screen date formatting in Ep5:
text FileTime(slot, format=_("{#file_time}%m/%d/%Y, %I%p"), empty=_("")):

Yep, it's identical to yours truly.

We should just call it the Sancho Standard.

At least we now know that he's capable of learning and improving. :) Seriously though, I don't know "coding" but wouldn't this make your mod more compatible?

No, has nothing to do with that as the mod's screens override the VN's... he just has some of my tricks for folks running the VN unmodded. It happens, devs tend to notice the little things I do and sometime want them.

Well.... all that time I spent getting the VN updated to the latest Core code was likely about 50% wasted. My initial blind attempt at rebuilding the menu system for this "Season 2" VN is a bust:

Shit's missing and others that aren't are in the wrong damn place. That's me showing that I'm not always "the shit" either...I fail sometimes. I'll grab a whiskey refill and sort that mess out. This VN's menus have always been a real bitch to sort out tbh.

Okay, all the damn new menus for Season 2 are sorted with the exception of me finding a good place for the SanchoMod button... it sucks where it's at but easily solved later. Gonna grab a bite to eat as I'm nearing 2200hrs here then I'll get back to starting the guide.

The OP has "Season 1"... this new VN update is being referred to as "Season 2" and is a completely new game. I'll clarify the mod's OP in just a bit so folks know what I have available is for the first season and I'm working on the second.

What a mess, right?

Edit: DL links are now noted:

Got ya. Like I said, I don't know anything about coding. I've used your mods in quite a few games and love your style. I have seen devs work with modders many times like sending them early access so they can get the mods out faster, and even a few that incorporate the modders walkthrough directly into the main release (and giving them credit). I'd think that a dev would ask before using someone else's work in there own. But I guess I'm just naive. ;)
