Modder: Sancho1969 F95
Mod Version: ShackBang Final / Passion On Display Final
Game Version: ShackBang Final / Passion On Display Final
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 (varies from port to port).
• Too many new features to list (see FAQ below for even more features implemented in the latest Core).

Reserved for pending FAQ

The main newest feature sets within the mod (for those already accustomed to SanchoMod) are the following:

1. SanchoDiaBox toggle (found in the Options screen). Seamlessly changes from OEM dialogue box to SanchoMod custom. New bonus feature - adjust dialogue font size and dialogue box opacity while in game via [Alt+(ArrowKeys)].
2. QuickMenu alignment (found in the Options screen). New bonus feature - The alignment changes dynamically depending on whether the OEM or Sancho dialogue box is on screen.
3. SaveDescription toggle (found in the Options screen)
4. SanchoAlerts (isolated custom notifications that are completely separated from RenPy's default notifications, toggled on/off along with the normal ChoiceGuide). New bonus feature - now receive alerts of potential scene/path splits as save marker points.
5. SanchoGallery (improved efficiency and handling of isolated gallery, isolated MC renaming, improved start and ending screen transitions and more). New bonus feature - The "SanchoMod Menu" opacity slider (that normally controls the opacity of the MiniStat screen in-game) now controls the dialogue box opacity while in a scene replay. When back in-game it switches back to it's default of adjusting the MiniStat screen opacity. New bonus feature - Scene filters by character and/or scene type available as desired.
6. SanchoCheats (found via the Options screen). Professionally and properly coded cheats that are rock-solid, including a reset button for stat changes that works intuitively and correctly every time. You asked for it, you got it...cheater. New bonus feature - alt character renaming, deep-rooted.
7. SanchoHotKeys (in-game only). New Feature! Alt+ArrowKeys for dialogue text size/opacity, Lower-case "g" for ChoiceGuide, Lower-case "m" for MiniStat, Lower-case "q" for QuickMenu, Lower-case "s" for medium SanchoStat, Lower-case "o" for SanchoOptions, Lower-case "c" for SanchoCheats. These work exactly as if you had clicked them in the MiniMenu or SanchoOptions, they just give you another way to do something faster or more conveniently. (Yes, I took the "s" key. Use shift+"s" or alt+"s" for screenshots)
8. QM HoverMode (found in the Options screen). Additional QuickMenu customization that can also be toggled with the appropriate HotKey "q". Described in detail in a post in the mod's thread here.
9. HotKey "S" Toggle (found in SanchoCheats) (it looked out of place in SanchoOptions where it really needs to be), works in real-time while in-game with no restart required. Toggle allows the HotKey to set to either the default "S" or the alternative "T". While in the "T" variant the user can take RenPy screenshots with the individual "S" key as well as the other multi-key assignments. This feature toggle is saved on a per-save file basis (it will always default to "S" when starting a new game so will have to be set to "T" each new game if that's the preference of the Player. When loading a save where it was previously set to "T" then it will be loaded as such).
10. SanchoMod Volume Control (found in Preferences). Controls most of the sounds introduced by the mod separately from the VN's mixer.
11. SanchoAutoSave (found on Save/Load Page 69). Episode/Chapter specific auto saves in one location, easily accessible by the Page menu.
12. XtraButton - flashing notifications with MiniMenu choreographing and audio cue for on-screen Slut Buttons.

I'll address each and other VN specific features in detail in this post (which is currently being drafted). I'll update this post periodically with those details and deep-dive into explanations as necessary.

Until then please enjoy and please consider leaving a review, a vote, or both. I'll never ask you for your "donation", I only ask for your appreciation if you enjoy my work. Best regards to you and yours.

SanchoMod QM HoverMode detail:

One of the new features (I know, it's minor but it's been requested more than a few times) is a QM hover mode. This one is coded pretty slick, since the QM is toggled in one of three ways: via the MiniMenu, SanchoOptions, or HotKey "q". Each one effects the QM differently so it was a bit tricky to code intuitively and correctly.

• Via the MiniMenu only toggles the QM On/Off regardless of any current setting (regardless of On/Off/Hover).
• Via SanchoOptions and you get everything in one place to tweak the QM (teaser below).
• Via HotKey "q" cycles through the QM stages (On/Off/Hover).
• All three above populate an associated SanchoNotifications (the upper-left notification flag) to let you know what mode QM is in.

I made it so if the player has the HoverMode enabled that the QM is shown with SanchoOptions screen open so you can actually see the QuickMenu while adjusting parameters. Once the player is done adjusting it, if the HoverMode is still active then when SanchoOptions is closed the QM goes back into its HoverMode state (hidden until the player mouses over a specified target area). HoverMode is automatically reset to Off if the QM is disabled (so it remains intuitive to use). It's setting is saved on a per save file basis (as with most SanchoOptions I do my best not to never fuck with your persistent file). The default when starting the VN or within either Gallery is QM ON mode (non-hover mode).

Wicked, I can't replicated via the compressed VN but the scripts should be identical (I didn't change any image references). Can you let me know which version of the base VN you're using? Any other details wouldn't hurt as I'm now looking for a needle in a haystack. I know exactly what that references but it not only looks solid in the code but performs correctly for me on Windows-10-10.0.19043. RenPy 8 can be an odd duck at times but the only difference I'm seeing is that we are on different Win versions which should be 100% mute point.

Yeah, sure.
I downloaded the uncompressed from the GoFiles Mirror.

I'm using Win 11 Pro Version 22H2 . Ask away if you need more info mate.

Edit:
Compressed Version delivers the same Traceback Error with Mod.

 

[Sancho1969]

Yeah, sure.

I'm guessing you're getting that error while in SanchoGallery? If so and you've never played the VN at all, start a new game and get passed where you have to input your relation to Ariana (sister).

colombeen, have you received a crash while playing yet?

 

[WICKEDp4th]

It crashes right on start. I cannot enter the Main Menu.
Oh, and it is the first time i downloaded this VN, never played it, yet.

 

[Sancho1969]

It crashes right on start. I cannot enter the Main Menu.

Give me a minute... I'm going to make one small change and give you a file to test... if that works I'll pull the links in the OP with the (what shouldn't be necessary) fix. Be right back....

 

[Sancho1969]

WICKEDp4th I hate to waste your bandwidth, but re-DL via the OP (the links have been updated), reinstall the mod (overwrite as requested), and retest. The fix I made should work for you although I can't think of why it would be needed. What's important is that we get you going. Let me know how it goes please sir.

 

[WICKEDp4th]

No worries! My bandwith is infinite.

works like a charm now!

Thank You for the instant help mate!

Not going to lie to you my friend... what was there should have worked but good to know... I need to refine the Core just a bit more. Let me know any other hiccups but you should be solid. Enjoy and thank you for quickly "beta" testing for me

colombeen, have you received a crash while playing yet?

I can't say that I've encountered any issues. I've been playing it for a while now, no errors, no hangs, no glitches, ... everything performs as it should imo.
Really enjoying all the SanchoMod goodness

 

[Sancho1969]

I can't say that I've encountered any issues. I've been playing it for a while now, no errors, no hangs, no glitches, ... everything performs as it should imo.

It seems what happened is that WICKEDp4th had never played the VN ever... so no persistent. The dev places the MC/Ariana relationship in persistent file during the initial VN gameplay. I made a loophole for SanchoGallery to not require it in case the Player wanted to view a scene before ever playing the VN... but it backfired for a yet to be determined reason.

Thank you for letting me know bud.

Yes, exactly. It was my first time (lol).

 

[Sancho1969]

Yes, exactly. It was my first time (lol).

You're one of the first to play the very latest Core code... I obviously need to tweak it just a bit. It's getting to be a beast to control.... I'm going to have to stop adding features soon as it's getting harder to keep this animal in a cage.

is it possible to use A.I tools and\or ChatGPT to help creating new content and\or new mods for games in general ?

is it possible to use A.I tools and\or ChatGPT to help creating new content and\or new mods for games in general ?

"AI" is already available in the top IDEs. It's not perfect of course and I rarely use it since it causes more bugs than it's worth... but one day, yeah. Until then my particular style of coding confuses the shit out of AI's I've tried.
