About the modification
The modification for TyranoBuilder is based on the VN Effector theme. It adds new features and improves existing ones.

The idea for the modification came up when it became clear that the author of TyranoBuilder had stopped developing his application.

It's been a long time since I started working on improving TyranoBuilder. During this time, the main features of the app have been significantly improved, as well as new features that will help you create games more efficiently.
Improvements
Now I will tell you about some of the improvements that were implemented during the development process.

Interface:
The new interface pleases the eye with pleasant colors. It has two main modes: light and dark.
Overall, the interface has been significantly improved, and now it looks nice and more understandable.

Interface language:
Now it is very easy to switch languages, and with the new update, many other languages have been added to the existing Russian and English languages, such as Chinese, Korean, Japanese, and others.

Creating a project:
I removed unnecessary tabs that did not carry any useful information, and put all the data on one screen. This allowed us to speed up and simplify the project creation process.

Editor Settings:
Now you can choose the size of the editor. Supported resolutions are 1280x720 and 1700x900. This is convenient for those who have a small or large monitor.

You can also configure the components. Now you can arrange them in one or two columns.

Autosave project features were added after 5, 10, and 15 minutes. In addition, you can choose the starting scene of the game.

In general, these improvements make the development process more comfortable.

Translating a game:
In the original version of TyranoBuilder, creating a game translation required creating different builds of the game with different translations, using a system of conditional statements (if-else) to select between languages, or creating duplicate scenes for different translations. 

Now, all this is not necessary, because there is a translation system that translates not only text in the game, but also images. In general, it is now very easy to translate for the game, and the list of languages supported for translation is very extensive.

Variable Update:
Updating variables is a process that allows you to change the values displayed on the screen in real time. In TyranoBuilder, you need to recreate the component responsible for displaying the variable in order to update its value. 

Using a special component that can be simply placed on the stage, updates are instantaneous. This means that you don't need to perform any additional actions-the system will do everything itself.

This is just a short list of new features that will make your work on the game more comfortable. In fact, the functionality is much broader: for example, we have a timer transition, a progress bar, a new chat, inventory, and much more.
How to install
To download a modification, you need to register on the site[vne.idglab.pro] and go to the page for downloading[vne.idglab.pro] modifications.

On the download page, you can also find out about new features added in the updates.

Installation:
The installation is quite simple, what you downloaded is an archive, and this archive just needs to be unpacked to the root folder of TyranoBuilder, which is located approximately along this path C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\TyranoBuilder.
Contacts
In addition to the ability to ask questions on the site[vne.idglab.pro], we have a discord server [discord.gg] where you can also get answers to your questions or chat with other developers. You can also suggest implementing a specific function.

Gilder The Squidslinger,
Describe the problem in more detail on our Discord server. Unfortunately I don't have a big project to understand what problem you are facing. At the moment I've done a version to version variable migration, but unfortunately I can't check how well it works yet.

Also, looking at porting issues from Tyrano. It was made a nightmare with trying to handle frameworks and such with many out of date. Any plans to address this area? Unfortunately, we gave up on Tyrano and have moved onto Naninovel but, I will keep an eye on this pending we see enough improvements to justify staying with it. Would save us a lot of time having to port our big title from Tyrano to Naninovel.

Save file is just a must at this point since we can't have save files getting corrupt every time we expand the story.

Have you solved the save file issues from Tyrano and are you planning to address things for large projects? Ones that would have DLC expansions/etc.

Easily the best mod out there for people who want to make visual novels with Tyrano Builder! It's like a massive expansion for the original program in one simple package. The developer is always around in the Discord server and tries to help you out with anything you might need.
