Mod Ren'Py Chasing Sunsets [v0.9a non-Steam/v0.9a Steam] Multi-Mod [Sancho1969]

Does this mod work with mac? I've used other mods with mac, but this one doesn't seem to be working for me. Could just be my own stupidity getting in the way though

There's a few folks that use several SanchoMod's (various VN's) that are on Mac (most are on Linux/PC) so there's no reason why it shouldn't work for you tbh.

Well if anyone out there that has got this working on mac happens to see this I'd appreciate some tips on how you got it working for you. Most mods I use work by going

Unzip the mod -> Right click whatever game it is -> Click "Show Package Contents" -> Open the "Contents/Resources/autorun" folder -> Hold the Option key and drag the folder named "game" from the mod into the "autorun" folder -> Click merge

But when I unzip this mod I get a folder called "ChasingSunsets-0.9a - SanchoMod" and in that folder is "scripts.rpa" "SanchoMod.rpa", and another folder called "SanchoMod". In that folder is "SanchoMod.key"

This helps me guide you. Unlike your:
"Hold the Option key and drag the folder named "game" from the mod into the "autorun" folder -> Click merge"

go inside the VN's existing "game" folder (probably "Contents/Resources/autorun/game"), then select all the files/folder(s) in the mod's zip and drag them inside that autorun/game folder.

Basically all SanchoMod zips contain all the contents that need to be placed in the VN's "game" folder, but does not contain the "game" folder itself. Make sense?

Ok great, that makes sense to me. When I get back to my laptop I'll give this a shot. Thanks for the help!

Another great mod for us who likes to have a lot of options with how the games look and plays.
Just the fact that you added an option to turn off named saves made me want to say thanks

Hasn't this been part of the mod's core since literally ever? Seriously asking.

It might easily be, but it's the first time I've used/had a use for it.
Named saves is one of the most annoying small things I find, as I never use it.. but I don't suppose Sancho can make a mod for every single Ren'py game that I find an interest in

Sorry, I've not beeing fully clear. I actually meant the option to switch off named saves, which to my feeling is part of Sancho's since as long as I can recall. Anyway, no offence intended.

 

[Sancho1969]

Here's how I treat save naming in SanchoMod per VN:

• If a VN has it's own naming code I insure the mod takes priority and disregards the VN's code so I have full control.
• If a VN does not have it's own naming code then SanchoMod has it by default (and it always defaults On).
• Within SanchoCheats I allow the option to turn the feature Off. This setting is then saved on a per-savefile basis (it's NOT persistent).

This has been the case for the last few years. Anyway, thought I'd make a quick post just to clarify if there was any confusion. I go through great lengths of coding time to insure each VN that I have a public mod for has the exact same look/feel so there's (hopefully) a small learning curve to the mod's features/settings that only has to be adapted to once, all other SanchoMod's will work in similar fashion with similar look and "feel". This is intentional and takes a boatload of more time to do (these mods are not simply plug-and-play slap-on efforts, coding doesn't work that way tbh).

Regards.

I can only play the vanilla game without lag using ANGLE render, but I get an error every time I press "START" or at the end of each chapter where you can't see anything at all and get another error (the screen with Jane and Mallory's love/trust points). You can ignore it and continue, but you will miss the content of that screen.
My question is whether Sanchomod allows you to play with ANGLE renderer without these errors .
Thank you very much .

I presume by referring to ANGLE renderer you are playing on Android. None of Sancho's current mods work with Android.

Nope, launch the game and press "shift+G".
There you can choose between the GL2 renderer and ANGLE2 renderer. GL2 produces no errors, but every time the game does an autosave (which cannot be turn off), my potato suffers an unrecoverable lag and I have to save and reload at every autosave. If I switch to ANGLE2, the game runs perfectly, except for those little things that give errors in Renpy (at the start of a new game and at the end of each chapter), apparently the developers didn't plan for their game to run this way.

Well, SanchoMod actually demands more system resources and processing power than the base VN... so the short answer is no, it would be worse than your experience with just the base VN if you are having issues with just that alone. Also, SanchoMod complex API usage mandates a minimum of GL2, so that's stacked against you as well in this case.

Love your mods. Could we get a Scene, Photo, and Achievement unlock ability added to this mod? Yes, your mod has a gallery, but not the ability to unlock so you can view in main viewer. There is no Photo or Achievement unlock at all, so images and achievements you don't have unlocked cant be unlocked.

Sancho has stated before that he won't do that as he likes actual game scenes to be unlocked as we unlock them through normal gameplay.

I'm starting the game now, is there any difference between the Steam version and the Steam version?

Yes, they are different, obviously you need to "own" the Steam version to use it.

I thought this was the game's trend hahaha, now that I see it's from a mod

 

[PickerLewd]

Sancho, this is a bit off-topic but I ask you in case it is something easy to do. As an expert in modifying games in Renpy, do you know how to disable the autosave? Maybe with a command by running the console (Shift+O)?
BaDIK has it in its options, but with a simple command or modifying a line of text I'll be satisfied.
Thanks very much .
