Sancho1969 Thank you for all the hard work and dedication you put into your mods sir! The builtin walk-trough is exceptional for following the various endings and your gallery is like manna from the heavens especially on games that don't have one enabled.

Thank you for the kind words. There's more than a dozen devs that have requested I give them the gallery code... but it's one feature of the mod that is my personal pride and joy so I periodically consult them how to "catch fish" but I won't simply hand them the fish (feed a man for a day, or feed them forever kinda thing).

Otherwise getting some of these updates out as fast as I can is due to the behind the scenes grateful assistance of various friends and colleagues who supply me early files, and/or the dev teams directly (many I work with on a semi-daily basis). This particular VN's new update is the first time I'm working with a few on the dev team. We are still getting to know each other but I expect that relationship to prosper soon enough as have with the other dev teams I work with.

This all results in a better product for VN fans regardless of whether they prefer to use a mod or not. A proper, less buggy release pattern is always better than the alternative. It promotes confidence in the team as well as satisfaction of the end user base.

... imho of course.

Regards.

SanchoGallery uses whatever the characters were last set while in-game (whether you used the VN's tablet or SanchoCheats doesn't matter, they do the same thing in theory but just different coding methods).

well if that's the case then something is wrong see SS attached

Dunno, works on my end, I renamed her "Candy" in game (via SanchoCheats FWIW):

SanchoGallery:


VN's Gallery:


BTW, you can tell the difference between SanchoGallery and the VN's via if the QuickMenu is available (it's not in SanchoGallery by design) and the dialogue box (SanchoGallery will keep whichever dialogue box you had set in-game, the VN's scene gallery doesn't). What does yours do with the VN's scene gallery (same scene)?

this is the Games SceneReplay Gallery

 

[Sancho1969]

this is the Games SceneReplay Gallery

The only way that should be possible according to the VN's code is if that replay you just posted was while in-game (from the tablet) and NOT at the Main Menu.... otherwise her name would be exactly the same. This leads me to believe that the name "Sara" is being picked up in-game from a save xfer and you've never changed her name in either the Tablet or SanchoCheats. To verify, while in-game using either the Tablet or SanchoCheats (doesn't matter with renaming, they do the same thing just differently) choose to rename her but leave her name the same "Sara". This will set her name's persistent variable and should now work using either scene gallery while not in-game (from the Main Menu's "Scenes" VN gallery or SanchoGallery).

Looks like Chapter 3 will be hitting soon...

Hey, hey, Chapter 3 is now out!

 

[lawlawkagurL]

Wow, another standalone chapter for Sunshine Love. NOICE!
Can't wait for the Master of Mods
Sancho1969 to do his magic.

Patiently Waiting =)

Chapter 3 has only just been released and Sancho hasn't been active for the past 5 - 6 days so he probably doesn't even know that there is a new chapter yet.
Not sure if he's taking a bit of time off, or if he's on vacation or something...

IRL stuff, work, etc...he's just busy.

Hello!

Well, yep, IRL has thrown some massively expensive and critical curve balls at me lately. Wildfires, tropical storm, heat wave, historic drought, etc... they all take a toll on my properties, my family, and my employees... all of which are my obvious main priority. So, lately is the first time in over two years I haven't been logged into the site and working on code 7 days per week.

Folks will have to bear with me during this phase, life is more important and I must protect my assets. Hopefully that makes sense but know that SanchoMod is immortal due to the "SaveFixer" for those who lack a bit of patience.

I've now logged into a site with more PM's and alerts that I can tackle at once so give me time to sort through all the mods/VN's that require attention so I can prioritize my workflow. This is going to be a riot.... need more coffee for this one

 

[Sancho1969]

See post here for folks wanting to import Ch2's SanchoModded file inside an unmodded Ch3. This should alleviate any concerns on whether you used SanchoMod or not (it doesn't matter at all). Just an FYI... you're good to go either way... play Ch3 unmodded or wait for me to get the code typed for Ch3.

 

[Sancho1969]

Here's some teasers of the initial framework of the mod being ported to Ch3 (only 1 hour in so far... good progress):


I've obviously rewritten the "Max Everything" import option and need to verify it's solid but it was much easier this time than last since I recently updated that code for the end of Ch2's mod update.

SanchoGallery populated:


I started the ChoiceGuide but then realized I need to go back and insure your imported alt-character names populate into the gallery scenes. They do NOT in the unmodded VN (I thought they did before but they don't) so I sort that. I've notified the dev team with this and a few other minor bugs... I've nothing serious yet but won't really know until I fully populate the ChoiceGuide.
