Happy holidays to you and yours as well bud.

You could very well be right, honestly, I don't even know anymore... I'm almost burned out. I've worked on 14+ different VN's in the last 4 weeks, many are the AAA titles and almost all of them were mislabeled, bugged beyond normal, or otherwise semi-chaos to resolve. I'll reach out to Monkey after the holiday. We all need a small break for 24-48hrs I reckon.

Regards as always.

Happy Holidays!
I bring gifts!
(yes, I worked Christmas Eve just for you)


SanchoMod Update (S4E27.5 Hybrid)
A very rare half-Episode mod update with a special new feature
View attachment 3201790 View attachment 3201792
Go get you some.

Links in OP and FAQ are updated accordingly.

IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ COMPLETELY
S4 E27.5 Automatic Hybrid Unlocker Instructions (choose how you want the VN/Mod to work):


For standard S4E27.5 non-SE simply install as normal.​
Upon VN startup the SanchoMod screen will look exactly like this to confirm:​
For S4E27SE/E27.5 Hybrid follow these instructions in addition to the normal installation.​
After you've installed SanchoMod S4E27.5 inside a clean new installation of VN S4E27.5 prepare the following:​
  1. From your S4E27SE VN installation zip (last SE update) grab these (and only these) four RPA files: "ep25bonus", "ep26bonus", "ep27bonus", and "ep27bonus2". These are the SE asset files that you must acquire on your own since I'm not a supplier. You need all four and nothing more from that zip. Here's a visual to assist:
    1. View attachment 3201824
  2. Download the "TFMG-Episode-27.5 - SanchoModHybrid.zip" file attached to the bottom of this post.
  3. Place the four content RPA files from E27SE (the files from Step 1) inside your E27.5's "/game" directory.
  4. Place the contents of the SanchoModHybrid zip (the files from Step 2) inside your E27.5's "/game" directory.
Done. Upon VN startup the SanchoMod screen will now look exactly like this to confirm:​

If the above Hybrid steps confuse or scare you then skip it, just install SanchoMod inside a clean VN installation like you always have in the past and enjoy E27.5 non-SE as is.

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.

Happy and Safe Holidays to you and yours!
Have a good Christmas bud. Looks like Santa brought us Texans a mild cold front to make it feel a bit like winter.

is this known as incompatible with the compresssed version?

I cant load any saves, it does the kick to the new game name entry screen thing.

I just re-played at v27 too because my save was borked then too :(

Just got caught back up with the Dev on this, and didn't have any problems what so ever. Thank you for both the Holiday greetings, and the mod!!! Happy Holidays to you too!

I built the mod update off of SonsOLiberty's compressed version found here. This is the case most every time since he and I work rather close on most VN's I mod on (I should say he help me way more than I help him though).

That said, since this is a half-episode update your generally safest loading a save you made with Ep27.0 as the dev tends to bork the RPYC files if you attempt to load back too far (regarding dates). Most updates I generally only have a small percentage of older saves that don't load (under 10% or so). Your mileage may vary. Any load of the mod's AutoSaves on page 69 should be solid though... I pick those points at very determined spots to be a safe a possible in the future.

Oh... naturally.... I already deleted my copy of 27SE (uncompressed)... about 30 seconds before reading Sancho's note about getting the rpa files from it. LOL.... not my day. Owell, I'll redownload the compressed version since you say that will work.

Links in OP and FAQ are updated accordingly.

Note: I highly recommend modding a full E28SE install of the VN and not using the "E28SE Update Only" variant.

Hey I'm having a problem on Season 2. Every time I open it, it quits on itself before it goes into the menu. I am using a Mac, the mod, no I-Patch, and I tried both compressed an non compressed

Mac/PC/Linus is basically the same: 1) Install a clean version of the VN (no shenanigans, just the basic install with no trickery) 2) Install the mod by copying ALL of the contents in it's zip inside the VN's "/game" directory (again, no trickery, just copy/replace as needed). That's it. If you do anything else it will likely fail.

I did that, and it still quits right before the menu. I tried it without the mod and it worked.

You may have to use S2 via virtual machine on Mac, I can't recall, that was many many moons ago. That mod is very old code which was tested on PC and Linux for sure, but I don't mac so I can't recall if we had it tested on it or not when not via VM. S3 and S4 shouldn't be a problem at all though, those are both v7+ of the mod's Core.

Edit: Wait... found an old msg from an OSX user... standby...

This worked for another OSX user 3yrs ago on OSX. Extract the file from here and place it inside the "SanchoMod" folder located inside the "game" folder. I think this might just get you done.

This is the quote from that user:
My friend, I can say with great excitement that your solution works splendidly!
Game starts properly and shows in the main menu the "Sanchomod" option.
Gallery is fully unlocked and I tested it by starting a new game and the walkthrough part is also visible.
So, let me know if it works for you to. Again, this is ONLY for S2. Don't use it for S3 or S4... bad things may happen.

Just got caught up with the Dev, and no problems with the mod. Kinda sad about Birdy, but your mod was a load of help. Thank you so very much for this!!!
