But seriously, no problems I saw from the mod. Thank you so very much for this!!!
Well bud, PVU Pics are a completely different animal than Chat. The dev simply cranks them all On per update so I'd have to recode each one individually. Not an impossible task but considering how much time I already spend on phone notification alerts it... is a bit over the top. BUT, I hear your particular concern and have made some changes to Carol's pics specifically that should (in theory) resolve your particular LI issue for her case.
Yep ok so thanks btw, um ive replaced it and it did get rid of the notifcation for carol, but on the "no carol path" there is one photo from like a side character "Marco" that i couldnt replyto so that also for what ever reason is redflashing notifaction worthy so 1/2 it did get rid of carols notifaction on the ministat just Marco's left
Found it. Give me a minute, I'll delete that other post file and get you another to try (fucking Marco... that was a needle in the haystack).
Same instructions as last go-round:
This bit is certainly true... I don't add any code to any of the phone scripts (chat or pics) other than the actual message text that informs if a relp/event is awarded (the 'guide'). The dev turns on ALL new pvu pic msgs at the start of each new update and the mod simply reads these and informs the Player what LI they correlate to. Phone chat msgs work differently, they are very specific to certain LI's/events and are generally only available for a specific timeframe (usually ~75% of each update).
If true then this is on me as stated above I personally code into the MiniStat's code which msg correlates to which LI and might have messed one up that hasn't been noticed before. More info would assist me in which msg you are referencing if you have that to offer.
If you are referencing PVU Pics then yes, that's on the dev's code since new messages mean just that... and many PVU pics don't require any reply but rather the Player simply view them. The MiniStat is selective in that it only displays those PVU Pics msgs that can be physically replied to, all others are ignored. Due to the way the dev coded it I had not ever attempted to remove those notifications for those LI's not available in the current playthrough though... that's what I just experimented with today in these mini-fixes for Parigi5 to test.
This one shows up in the MiniStat as Ashley. It comes up along with one from Marco when Rachel's husband turns up and slaps her. It clears if you respond, so is not something that needs a quick fix or anything!
This helped me find the issue immediately, thank you.
Thank you for doing this bud. This will surely help me isolate where and what the issues are. Much obliged and I'll sort it once I'm done with this other VN's (UC8) pending update that's coming out today or tomorrow.
This type of issue here is exactly why I hate coding the damn wacky phone code: when/if I'm hustling through getting an update done it's easy for me to look at the post's commenter and forgetting to cross reference to the original poster. This happens because I'm (for example of this Nikki post, Sara comment) that I'm guiding the Relp+ for Sara but the damn post is actually Nikki's.
Found it. This actual PVU Pic msg won't pop until the MC has physically met Ivy.

...I bet! Good job it's not an important bit though (genuine, no sarcasm!)
Ah, got it, that makes sense. As I was speeding through, I didn't stop to chat with Ivy in the dorms corridor.
TBH, via this VN mod and BaDIK it's due to the constant correspondence with folks that have introduced many of the latest features that are now available in almost all SanchoMod variants (across VNs). BaDIK is the largest sandbox as it now has more features coded into the mod that I can hardly keep track of anymore
. I try to take all concerns into account and if determined to have merit and/or add value for both myself and other Players then I'll certainly always do my best to make it happen. There's only a few outliers of feature requests I haven't entertained to date... but they are mostly around the idea of some folks wanting to pick a particular LI and have the mod simply play the VN kinetically for them. I'll never be a fan of this idea, personally. Way too much coding work for zero benefit other than to take the "game" out of the VN (imo).
