Modder: Sancho1969 F95
Mod Version: Season 1 v0.7 & Season 2 v0.11
Game Version: Season 1 v0.7 & Season 2 v0.11
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). 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.

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).

I guess the multi unlocker is redundant now right? It is just an unlocker rpy file, or can it stay?

Edit: Nevermind, just tried it and it is compatible. Just kept both

Just played a bit but awesome work as always.

 

[Sancho1969]

Elduriel, hey bud, I think I forgot to remove that dialogue font size setting save feature (the auto-reset). Since the OEM font is so close in default size to the mod's I don't think you'll have an issue but let me know if you do and I'll push a quick fix for it.

The only problem I see with that unlocker is that it also unlocks achievements... which seems rather stupid to me personally. Other than that, yeah, it should work fine since it doesn't interfere with the base VN code while playing.

Yeah personally I think I only used the the unlocker on season 2 for the lore because it didn't open the items from season 1 no idea why, maybe that warning about a different device use when tranfering the load to season 2. Anyway it is just a 3Kb file, no harm haha

are you sure you got the right guy? I don't remember discussing that but I do a lot of shit-talking all around

My bad. I had to search through a haystack to find it but it was Havik79 with the request. I've pinged him in case he decides to try this VN and uses the mod, to know that "fix" isn't in the S1 version of the mod that I recall.

 

[Sancho1969]

Season 2 is now pre-ported and loads up the S1 AutoSave just fine (after some tinkering).

 

[Sancho1969]

Well, I'm kinda stuck already. There's either a massive fubar in Season 2's trait and flirt variables or I'm too hungover. See post in VN's thread I made to Lemon here for reference. I'm either letting him now of a massive bug issue or I'm looking like a dumbass... I believe it's the former though, honestly. I think many of Season 2's choices you've made previously are fucked up.

 

[Sancho1969]

Okay, since there are new variables for S2's MC Traits and the only work for Achievement unlocks in S2, I'm going to add the S1 Traits and S2 Traits together for the sake of the mod's Stat screens. So we're all on the same page, MC Traits are the Friendly, Witty, Aggressive choices you make.

 

[Havik79]

Wait what, why am I getting pinged in some odd-looking game I never played before, uh too early for thinking without my first can of coke.

Hehe I think it is because some font size feature that Sancho forgot in the game mod. Anyway if you are a fan of Eternum (think I saw you mention you like the game in Radiant Sancho thread) and humorous games you definitely gonna like this game, unless you don't like sci-fi "space opera" kind of games/movies/tv shows.

I see, and you are mistaken, if I remember I raged quit that game after the part where the cuck MC got kicked in the head 3 times by a girl.
As for Sci depends, if you mean the proper stuff us Gen X had with Stargate, Atlantis, and such then yes, if you mean modern trash like snowpiercer then fuck no.
I had a look, and the only thing that came to mind was a feeling of emo when I looked at this game.

Snowpiercer? No idea what is that but 6.9 in imdb isn't a good visit card, not that imdb hasn't rated badly stuff that I enjoy though, not up to what they doing much lately in sci-fi really with a few exceptions like The Orville maybe, space opera usually isn't well seen by producers, they are expensive and don't give immediate profit. Other more and less recent sci-fi not space opera we have Westworld and The Mandalorian that I follow too. Late 80's until early 2000's for me was the golden age of sci-fi in the screens.

In the question of space opera sci-fi I prefer stuff like
(tv shows) Battlestar Galactica-Firefly-Babylon 5-Stargate-The Expanse-Dark Matter (until got cancelled)-The Orville etc etc
(movies) Like most and not all the movies is those sagas : Star Wars-Star Trek-Valerian (Even though the movie wasn't that well received and done I still like Luc Besson as Director and love the comic books from where was adapted)-Serenity aka Firefly wrap up story-Starship Troopers if can be considered a space opera, not even sure.

Lol Projekt Passion it is more comedy/parody than emo, ofc can have 1 or other more emotional moment but nothing overboard imho. For me is the game that makes me laugh more on this site, specially the game over death scenes that redo to the choice again, isn't really game over, more comedic release with some silly deaths.

As you probably can guess I'm not young with those tastes, nearly 50 yo.

Starship Troopers is space propaganda satire.

Either way, I am not sold on the looks of the girls, so thanks for the ping but I think I will pass.

If you ever get bored, remember this VN. This has been requested by folks for me to look at and I finally did. The dev is clever with his storytelling and presentation. The presentation (not the art style but rather how the story is presented) is similar to say Eternum. Humor is on the same boat as well.

I'm not saying it's the best VN and for every person, but it's no slouch either. You might be surprised. Regards bud.

OK will do, but given a few months ago after a bad day I got pissy and deleted out my apps save folder with all my games, I still have a back log I need to get through, and some have a lot of sandbox to do.
