The proper installation process is two steps, and only these two (for PC in English):
Is your game a compressed version of SonsOfLiberty's? (https://f95zone.to/threads/karlssons-gambit-v0-7b-final-grym-gudinna-games.50840/post-10621667). In my case, it is, and what you described is exactly what happened to me. If you delete the 3 files from the mod and restart the game runs fine, but of course without the mod :/
Is 'compression' a part of "shenanigans"? Just want to know if you are willing to fix for the compressed version.
Bud look at the posting date of the compression post you linked to, that compression you linked to is from mid-April... that's the testing version of the old v0.7 build... it's not even v0.7a and certainly not v0.7b
Oh my bad, I thought the 0.7a was the first of the 0.7 builds. Thanks, I'll wait for the updates.
If SonsOLiberty made a v0.7a build, I'm pretty damn sure that's what I used to update the mod on. Otherwise the official compressions should be fine to use although I haven't personally looked at them nor used them. SOL tends to get me compressed links directly as a priority so I can start updating my code.
I'm getting the same issue. Downloaded most recent versions of VN and mod, dropped files in "game" folder of VN root directory, and it should work, right? It's pretty much like any other mod and I've used Sancho's mods plenty of times, but this one won't for some reason.
I'm in the same boat. I downloaded the official compressed version, but the mod is not installing correctly. maybe that version has some added "shenanigans"? because my previous saves weren't showing up. I found out that the game save folder in appdata/roaming/renpy changed from "Test1" to "tess2"
Good morning. Well, I'll have to DL the "official compressed" and see what's going on. My guess is that the dev team didn't package it correctly and has loose scripts in it and not the correct archive packaging. I have a dollar that says the dev team doesn't even know as I bet this "official compressed" was done by some third-party and not the team themselves.
Okay folks, I'm not going to have you wait while the dev team and their respective "helpers" get their shit together... again.
(disregard the #3 here, this is a pic reference for step #2)
Not your fault bud, and no one should be blaming you. If they are then send them to me. I have all the facts required, I've got your back just as you've had everyone else's.
Bud... you're overthinking it a bit. It's all summed up on the joiplay homepage:Well, those who are having problem of "after clicking start the game freezes on the start screen pic" on joiplay, it maybe a joiplay problem rather than a problem with the mod.
I first noticed the problem around this time, after the KGv6 mod ran with no problems around this time. I've tried other Sancho mods after this & they all had the same screen freezing result.
Sancho can try to find the compatibility issue if he's curious, but it's better handled by the Joiplay devs I think. Here's why:
Joiplay in general doesn't mesh well with mods that add extra buttons, change the quick menu, etc. I've been seeing recently. Like the 'cheat menu' option never appears on the quick menu since joiplay probably forces quick menu to be active with high priority, overriding any mod code. Similarly, any cheat button doesn't seem to appear on the screen. (Didn't have these problems earlier, probably the result of certain renpy/joiplay updates)
I've been overcoming this by adding the cheat menu on the main menu by editing the screens.rpy.
SanchoMod probably adds a lot of custom stuff which conflicts with Joiplay's hardcoded stuff, resulting in the screen freeze.
Idk, Sancho can investigate if curious.
Like I said on the glowing stones post, sad that I can't use it on this version of KG (I'll give it a try, but it probably won't work based on the comments I see). Means my saves are also gone.
Oh well, I probably would have started a full playthru of season 1 completed anyway, and I usually go through the code anyway & can achieve everything the mod did through the console. So no worries
It was a very convenient mod though, so sad
Edit: Yup. Tried it & it's the same. Freezes on start-up when using mod, but starts normally without mod. Thanks again for the KGv6.2 mod, since that seems to be the only SanchoMod I've played. Keep up the good work
PS: Anyone running into quick_menu not defined in joiplay, just replace "if quick_menu:" in line 1498 of screens.rpy with "if True:".
steelmonkey76 Joiplay won't work with SanchoMod it seems
