You're kidding me? Geez, I've been updating VN's daily for weeks... I thought for sure I'd have today off. Ok, I'll check it out. Thanks for heads-up.

Because I'm the black sheep of modders who calls others out when they fuck up or steal shit. That apparently takes me out of the moderator's "club" favoritism which has been hell bent on oppressing my work. But that's all a story for another day.

Houston, we might have some problems. See post here where the dev completely renamed some of the variables that were already used from the very start of the VN. This might get rough...

Posted another menu choice change here. This is going to take me time to sort through folks... this won't be quick.

From what was posted in the revised changelog, for the final version, I'm guessing its quite the clusterfuck of added and moved scenes not to mention code all over the place. Not gonna get my hopes up to play this anytime soon.

Most of the "Light/Dark" choices are gone now too... there's a few in Ch2 but that's about it. No more molding that trait I guess.

Now that I've diffed through Ch1 it's going faster but yeah, if the other chapters are going to get remade too then he's turning it into a bit of a kinetic. I'm not saying good or bad but damnit, if you're going to make something then have a gameplan from the start. Don't change EVERYTHING after it's pushed public. It's bad practice imho and generally pisses end-users off. Many AAA gaming publishers sorta figured this out even though they still do silly shit too.
I guess AVN authors are learning from Movies and TV Shows, and AAA Video games, where you can release (Remaster, Remake, etc.) the same thing over and over and people will pay you, over and over?

New feature grocery list for this update in progress:
Teasers:
Name changes are reflected in the ChoiceGuide too:
- Update to latest SanchoMod Core code - well, this goes without saying, it's the first thing I always do so things stay on point.
- Rename (character) - functional across the board meaning the character name is reflected in: all other character's dialogue referencing her, her stats, her cheat buttons, fucking all of it. Based on the soon-to-be-infamouse "Tee-Hee" button found in my UoP mod but now it's on steroids. I can automatically change any dialogue without even touching the original scripts... (makes evil laugh: mwah ha ha haaa).
- Hotkey dialogue box adjustments - Alt+Arrow keys adjust the dialogue box opacity and dialogue font size. This is exactly the same effect you've used inside the SanchoOptions screen but allows you to perform the same thing via the keyboard without having to access the options menu.
- Menu Choice Opacity - yes, you can even change that.
- Menu Choice fade in / fade out
- Mobile JoiPlay compatibility upgrade - for a more refined experience... but I still suggest you stop spending all your money on $50 coffee and buy a damn computer. You'll go blind playing cartoon porn on such a puny screen. I'm only watching out for your health and well being (makes evil laugh again: mwah ha ha haaa).
- Whatever else I'm forgetting or decide to add.

I know this is taking a while but know that I have to edit through the whole uncensored patch. Not that I think grammatical errors are my problem (they aren't, I normally don't waste any time on them) but there's so many changes that didn't make it into the patch that I'm basically porting the hundreds of grammatical fixes too by default. The only point of me having to comb through the scripts this hard is because the patch is calling for the music files incorrectly.... it must be fixed or you'll get errors.
Honestly, this part of the job really sucks but I have to do it, no one else is going to. Hang in there folks, I'll get it done at some point. Regards.... now I need a "adult refreshment" refill...

It's 2230 hours here so I'm going to make a quick bite to eat and return. I'll then speed run as fast as possible and if no hidden errors pop up regarding the music, etc then I think this will be in the bag. I'll then have to compile and bench test for integrity but that's a given every time.

Good morning folks. I worked on the final touches until late (0300 hours this morning) and knew I needed a bit of rest before testing it proper for integrity and pushing it out. If not I was at risk of making mistakes. If the phone keeps quiet this morning I see no reason not to get this update out including all the new features.

Question for folks:
I can always add them anytime, but I have limited space for "Relp" cheats and was thinking of a narrowed-down list of who to put in the SanchoCheats if I did do that. Again, it's fairly quick to do this but I don't have to delay the mod's update for it, it can always come as a maintenance release. The reason I ask is that every time I think I have a minimum list in my mind I "what if" another few which makes it too many.
Any particular thoughts? I'm almost decided to completely hold off on relp cheats until we know what's really going to happen and what is required to do so whenever it does rather than placing features in willy-nilly.

I'm going to delay the mod release for a few hours, details here. I want to insure I have things a correct and perfect as folks have come to expect from SanchoMod. We have no idea what most of the event variables will or won't do but I must account for them regardless. For all I know the one I missed may be real fucking important.... or it won't mean a damn thing. But since I can't be sure it's prudent for me to go back and review them out of professionalism. Regards.

I think I'm done for now. Any other new features can be deployed via maintenance updates. Remember to leave save slot Q1 open or it'll be overwritten:
I need to do the final integrity tests on the bench systems and if all passes I'll package it all up and deploy the update. I'll make a new post when that is done.

Hey Sancho1969 did you manage to integrate the "ipatch"? Since that was a huge amount of work to be done for you.
