Mod Ren'Py Being a DIK [S1/S2 v0.8.3 & S3 v0.10.1] Multi-Mod [Sancho1969]

[MurrayMods]

Okay, I understand. I'm not belittling Scrappy's work or anything like that, but I thought you could continue Sancho's project since it's much more complete...

While I enjoy Sancho's Mods, I have a different style. Therefore, I always made a completely new development and not a continuation of the code that Sancho was developing. Also, Sancho was always very jealous of his code and always hid it (obfuscated it to use the Python term) as much as possible. The saves of a game with a Sancho Mod are also incompatible. Being such a famous game, I never played it, I should go through it a bit to see if a more attractive Mod can be made than simply highlighting the most convenient decision, I suspect that it can be done and I am tempted to do so.

Yes, his mod wasn't just about highlighting the best choices, but also the various routes, everything there was to do when in free roam mode, etc... As you can see by the screenshots of his mod.

Seems like many people have problems with Jade related variables (me included). Save fixer isn't of much help either. Accesing girls tab in stats app on the phone also causes a Jade-related crash.

Here's an example of an error right after Jade's first appearance in school corridor:

Is this the only crash you've experienced? I've "desanchonized" my saves with the save fixer but I didn't played ep 11 yet because I'm waiting for scrappy to update his mod. I'm so not looking forward to play the whole game again five times

Who has the save fixer? With Sancho MIA I need to do this as well since I have always used his.

Damn I am blind. Its been awhile since I added his mod, Its the python and mod folder and the 1 RPA file? We just need to remove those 3 things and then add the fixer to our game file and it returns it to an "unmodded state"?

No bro just put the file in the "game" folder then load up the game and make a new save. That save should be vanilla now or at least that's how I understand it

Yeah while agree with a lot of ppl that Sanchos mods are really frikkin great. That ship has sailed and I'm afraid we no longer have access to his modding skills anymore. Thankfully there are some really frikkin good modders in the community to "take up the slack". So I can definately say that I appreciete you taking up the mantle or whatever it would referred as Murray m8.

Edit. While I absolutely think Sancho was the best modder around, I have to admit that the void he left behind has mostly been filled by other modders. I do hope for one of you to refine your skills to really fill the shoes of Sancho. If not, then so be it. I can always rely on my own coding skills, albeit extremely lacking to get the mod I want. To anyone thinking "Why not publish your own mod then?". Well I suck absolute ass at GUI and usability. I only mod for my own usage for that reason and rely on our absolutely amazing set of modders to do the dirty work.

Edit 2. If for any reason you come back Sancho, know that I really appreciate your work m8. If as assumed you perished during that storm, I hope you are laughing at our rationalizations of you departure m8 and know that some of us really loved your work m8.

Ok, that should hopefully be the last of my edits to this post as Im about half way through my second bottle of Martini this Friday. Anyway, sorry to rant this much and you all have a great Friday. Peace and out...

Edit 3. One last edit to fix my drunken shitty spelling and grammar...

I have a feeling that for this game in particular it might be difficult to find a proper mod that would replace Sancho's work since this game has a crap ton of branching options, overlapping choices, and those frankly annoying minigames which Sancho so skillfully made skips and auto wins for. Some of that Scrappy's mod can do as well but not to this extent. Also the fact that DRP seems to have a hard on for putting in code that intentionally screws up with mods because he doesn't want people using mods in his game. Sancho was able to bypass that with his mod with some work on his part but as we already see for instance if you used Scrappy's mod in the past your saves and variables are all borked in this new update. I used Sancho's mod remover and so far im not having issues but we will see if that continues. Im using URM in the meantime now which helps somewhat in a pinch at least with choices until someone can make a mod for it

 

[Jimmy C-well]

I used the save fixer and keep getting errors anytime anything to do with Jade gets brought up. Any fixes? I did download URM but not sure how to fix the issue

yeah I ain't using scrappy mod on this ever, every time it's pages upon pages of people having issues upon a new release. Sancho's was fucking prime to be honest, doubt anyone will replace that anytime soon. URM is fine, can do some of stuff you could with the mod, but a lot less convenient. In the end I just disabled minigames altogether, can't be bothered with them without the autowin buttons Also missing the ministat feature, now I have to look at the fucking phone a lot.

same, there is a variable there which causes issues, but since it's not really game-breaking I haven't looked more into it yet, I can keep playing just fine.

I got this same issue. Might be something with the game itself and not the mod. I specifically remember that for this playthrough i didn't sleep with Jade and it shows that in the phone app summary for Jade, but the variable apparently didn't stick. I tried using URM to change the variable but it didn't work

dunno man, could be. I distinctly remember I wanted nothing to do with Jade on my Sage route, coz that would be fucked up. So I shot her down at every opportunity. Still couldn't get the option to say I love her on the couch. With URM I managed to find the one single variable from chapter 3(!) that prevented it. After I changed the value I got the option and the sex scene. Fucking weird.

 

[Jimmy C-well]

It says Jade State and told Derek about Jade are undefined. Can I use URM to define those so I don't keep getting the crash?

I found the variable with URM but yea it shows as undefined. What i did is made a new variable of the same name and set it to boolean and set state to False and checked to overwrite the original one. This has fixed it for now.

BTW, i have tried loading a save where i did fuck Jade and in that playthrough it works without issues so this is something dev messed up probably so likely have to wait for a patch. URM override works as an alternative for now though

 

[Jimmy C-well]

Do you have the exact thing you typed? For both the Jade state and the Told Derek

 

[Author99]

As others have mentioned, even using the save fixer, some variables have disappeared.

ep6_reject_jade and pathMayaJosy are undefined during my experience.
I had to manually add them back, using the console.

The variables are there in episode 10.
When a save is opened in episode 11, it deletes those variables across all saves, including those made before episode 11.
Make sure you have backup saves. It borks all existing ones.

On the main menu, clicking on music also leads to an error.

thanks for the warning

Im not fully done with the episode yet so more things may pop up but so far these are the variables i had to add to make it work:

ep4_fuckedJade - boolean set to ''False''
ep4_toldDerekAboutJade - boolean set to ''False''
jade_state - int set to ''0''
pathMayaJosy - boolean set to ''False''
ep7_bella_lewd - boolean set to ''False''

That's what i got so far but there are probably more

EDIT:
i added some more that i found in my current Sage DIK playthrough and corrected the jade_state one as 0 seems to be the correct option there if you didn't do anything with her at all.
After all these now my girls summary app is working with no errors so i assume that at least for this current playthrough i found them all but im not yet done so i guess we will see.
