Important: I've edited all previous posts regarding the installation method that would have been required. The dev made new DL links and it's confirmed that the Holiday 2022 events are included in the latest Extended version. All you need is either uncompressed or compressed Extended and you'll be good to go.

You when sometimes you use rollback and RenPy freaks out and leaves the notification labels on the screen indefinitely? Yeah, I hate that shit too, a limitation with RenPy that's always been a graphical glitch. It was always easy enough with SanchoMod if mine hang up on you... simply toggle a feature like ChoiceGuide Off/On and it resets the notifier. The problem with UoP is the dev's notifications when they lock. Usually you have to load a recent autosave to get rid of it.

While speed running to insure my code is tight for release of this Extended I decided to do something about it. Since "c" is a faster way to open SanchoCheats than clicking the MiniMenu, selecting SanchoOptions, then selecting SanchoCheats - just tap "c" then in SanchoCheats you'll see the new red "Close All Notifications" (as seen in the pic below). This will immediately close any open notifier that's stuck On on the screen (the dev's or mine).

It's a little thing, but another quality of life improvement. I'm almost determined to just make it a new Hotkey via the "x" key but I'm still debating it.

Edit: Executive decision made: it's now tied to the "x" key as well, so there's another new SanchoHotKey for ya.

When I'm done integrity checking it bud. You don't want a bug infested release, right? Me neither. Normally this VN takes a minimum of a day but since I had time to prep you'll be getting additional features and a tighter, more seamless experience. I think that's worth a few hours wait after the VN just dropped... imho.

Thanks Sancho! I know it's been a tough week for you. You are appreciated!
Thank you. Yes it's been tough... and very expensive. But there's millions of folks hampered by this event and others so I won't bitch and moan. Besides it's 1656 hours now which is so close to "whiskey-thirty" by my clock that I'm calling it. So, it's fixing to all be ok. Regards.

Honestly, this might the feature I've used the most during testing. I'm not seeing any new notification code but the dev's notifiers are getting stuck On indefinitely more times than I can count... err, scratch that, I can't count but just didn't. The lower-case "x" key is going to be your best friend, I'm almost certain, until I can figure out what in his code is borked more so than the normal RenPy glitch.

Speed runs done. Let me compile this beast and if then bench testing units don't crash with the mod loaded we're good to go... you know what this screen means:

Prepare yourselves to get you some... give me a bit, it take a while to compile and install the mod on 4 separate systems and fire them off one by one... be back soon.

SanchoMod Update (U19 / v1.1.0 Extended)

Go get you some.

Links in the OP and FAQ are updated accordingly.

Changelog:
  • See post here for most of the details. I've done so much to the VN over the past weeks I forgot half of what I did if I'm being honest (I didn't document them all, again).
If you enjoy my work once you've had time to check it out, consider leaving a vote and/or review so others might benefit from your experience. Positive or negative, all civil forms of rational criticism are welcomed and appreciated. Your feedback matters.

Regards and enjoy.

Almost 2 hours and more DL's than "Being a DIK" mod (really, no shit!) and no bugs or crashes reported.

Me so happy. Me get refill of Crown & Coke and finally get to actually play game too. Yay! (cartoon porn Mukbang)

Hey Sancho, just curious if it's possible, but it seems like if you have the ministat open, and then go all the way into either a text message conversation with someone, or commenting on a PVU image, and then click off the phone, the ministat won't recover. It does seem to recover from the phone home menu, text messages where you select who to text, and the PVU home page, where you select to heart or comment. Is this something that can be fixed or is it some sort of limitation?

If you loaded an older save then immediately after the load toggle the MiniStat Off/On. This will reset it's necessary code to be automatic. See if that sorts it for you bud. I've tried to force RenPy to recognize the new automated code but sometimes it fucks up. Starting a new game or toggling the MiniStat after an older save load sorts it 100% in my testing. Any new save will not be effected, so you'll be good to go post this update.

I am starting from a new game, toggled the ministat, and can still reliably reproduce the issue. It's not a huge bother, just have to hit the back arrow once on the phone and then click off the phone to reliably get ministat to recover, at least for me.

Please describe to me exactly how you are producing the issue bud. If I can replicate the issue then I can surely resolve it. You must be closing the phone differently than the two ways I am (I either click on the screen that's not the phone or use the phones "back" button). I'm closing in the three red rectangles below, what "Off" button are you speaking of?

The black sides where it just closes the phone, but it only happens from inside a text message conversation or from commenting on a pic.

Before with ministat:
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

Go into text conversation:
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

Then click off to the side, like the big rectangles in your pic:
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

The ministat doesn't come back.

Ahh... without replying then. I see. Please edit your post and put the screenshots in spoilers, thumbnails, or delete them, it's a huge-ass post :ROFLMAO: Let me see what I can do if you close the phone without replying to the msg. (you should reply to your messages bud, I never thought someone wouldn't :p)
