Mod talk is better than the drivel that usually fills threads the last few years. Some of us appreciate it. I'm here more for technical discussions anyway than to see someone ask a basic question that's been answered 100 times or people wondering if the random dude on the first picture in the game walking down the street is gonna NTR your whole family or whatever.
Sancho1969 Good work. I don't always use your mods as I usually make changes on my own for Ren'py/RPGM/Tyrano stuff, but I do appreciate it and use them when I'm feeling lazy or if you've cracked something I haven't. On the topic of the dev typing Kate's name as opposed to using a variable as has already been discussed, do you have a regex that would perform a replace function but on if the line begins with like a characters name tag?
So it would effectively be, if "mc.*Kate", then replace "Kate" with "Mom"? Like it would be your normal replace_dict or regex replacement or whatever but be conditional on the regex matching.
