Can't you save the variables to the persistent file? You would be able to access them from the gallery that way.
Individually store a few thousand vars? And what happens if you mix playthoughs of different paths? You could end up with mutually exclusive values and bork god knows what up. Or get my python wizard hat on and serialize the entire variable dir and deserialize it in the gallery. But then what happens if you play through an old bit and some of those variables haven't been set yet? Lock those gallery entries? Perhaps store a complete dir copy with each gallery entry? God, that might blow up the persisten file if it's all in there in dozens and dozens base64 blobs, who knows what that'll do to boot-up time.
Nah, in the end, what we really need is to load a specific save game which has all the info and context out of the box, so Imma have a look if I can't create a special set of "hidden" saves (e.g. not showing up in the save/load dialog) for each gallery entry, and use those to unlock and play the gallery entries. It all leverages standard ren'py facilities, so that's much less work or risk, hopefully.

Apologies if I'm out of context on what the problem is, I've only read back a few quoted posts. Take a look at the scope argument of the Replay function. It allows you to provide a dict of the variables used with the values to pass into the replay. You could create on replay with a variation, a second with a different variation, and however many you want until you've covered all variations for that replay.

Then maybe set a single persistent variable for each combination to use to lock/unlock each replay. Maybe I'm oversimplifying it - I haven't actually looked at your code. But something to think about.

Hold on ... hold on ... I gotta get me some popcorn.
Yeah, I've read about it. It still requires me to provide variables manually though, which I don't wanna do as it's just a whole lot work each entry. If I can get it to work the way I envisioned, unlocking a gallery entry is basically calling something like $renpy.save("galleryentryX"), while showing the entry in the menu and playing it is something like
menu:
"Event X" if renpy.saveexists("galleryentryX"):
$ renpy.load("galleryentryX")
(complete pseudocode of course, I'm making some wild assumptions such statements exist in some form)

So uh...
Because if you ask me to choose between an even better gallery or that...I'm kind of leaning to the latter for spending your resources/time. A good or bad gallery is dependent on the content it can provide. Not saying there is enough stuff in there already but come on...read that quote and try to disagree...
As a layman, How much time in terms of codelines written vs photoshop/editing would adding that ↑ take?

Heh, you gotta have something in reserve to roll out when you wanna pack a punch. But yeah, I love the loose hairs. For story reasons, it doesn't always make sense, when you're doing chores or going to work or school, an updo, tail or braid is just more sensible as the gals (or guys) with long hair will attest. From a production standpoint, it adds the need to do dforce runs for the hair which take about 15 mins (and I'll usually do on a second daz instance while I continue working on the next image in the first), but often there's some manipulation involved to get it to drape in the right way, and that can be an immense hassle and add serious time to scene production, so that's another reason to keep it for the special moments.
Are you saying that a good hairdo is high maintenance and takes a lot of time?
Anyone know the email for naughty's significant other? I'm sure she would love to read that little tidbit for the next time he complains she's taking too long to get ready for a night out!
Yeah, but I'm not looking to do manually what I can have dforce do automatically, or learn a new tool again. I really like dforce and how it handles that particular hair asset. No way my amateur ass could make anything that good looking in zbrush.

Yes yes. Indeed. very interesting topic...... i literally understood 10% about the hair part and the rest was like listening to japanese hentai porn with tentacles. Not a clue.
90% of what they say in hentai is "It feels good!" "I'm cumming!" and "I'm losing my mind!" Trust me, you're not missing that much.Yes yes.

Don't forget "It's so deep!" in NTR hentai.
Yeah, you have like one or two extra lines for each specific category: "I love you!" in vanilla, "It's so deep!" or "It's so much bigger/better than Cuck-kun!" in NTR, "Let's feel good together!" in yuri (said every time before they start tribbing)…

Dforce - a trimmer for your D area
DAZ instance - WoW dungeon
zbrush - a scissor for your D area
They're talking about grooming genitals while doing WoW daily heroics to save time. I'm reading it like that since it's relatable and you can't convince me otherwise.
