I've been longing for this feature, too

No more shuffling files around when you want to play with specific custom content disabled. You can now turn off custom profiles and story in-game, provided they are organized within subdirectories.
From the help file:
New in v2.4 is the ability to select in-game which characters and stories are enabled through the "Custom Content" menu option accessible from the title screen. Only profiles and story files contained in subdirectories within the "Profiles" and "Story" directories can be disabled. Disabling a subdirectory forces the game to ignore all files contained within that subdirectory while the game is being played. (Story Test is unaffected)
Bear in mind that content can often have dependencies on other content such that disabling one subdirectory can effectively disable content not readily apparent contained in other subdirectories.
Disabling content does not prevent it from being read by the game on startup.

Also new in v2.4 is the percent chance condition, for adding a bit of randomness to your stories. Example:
STORY 87
Miki flipped a coin.
A: CHANCE 50
It was heads. She would go buy the drinks.
BRANCH A
It was tails. Drinks were on me.
From the help file:
The condition will have a percent chance of being met. Note that this is in addition to Priority adjustments and other factors that can affect a story's chance of being selected. A condition of CHANCE 50 does not mean that the story will be played 50% of the time! The percent chance is probably best used in conditional branching.

CloseWhy am I getting the odd impression that the coin-flip was induced by Fran's story?
Anyway, is version 2.4 live right now? Does this mean that Marrend's handy-dandy all-in-one download is defunct? Or shall we wait for a few more characters to be done first?
For some reason, having that file in my locker is making me somewhat uneasy.

I tested this functionality a bit. The good news is that I've imported all the content that I know about (I'm counting thirty characters, in total?). I did a Clean Mode test-play with Emiko, of all characters, and disabled all other profiles and stories. I've had a few thoughts about how the story Emiko has isn't the one I want to tell with that character, but we'll save that for another day. Anyway, the system seemed to work well enough.
My main beef is with Story Test Mode. If a character's story is set to "disabled", it seems to me that Story Test should skip over it automatically. I dunno. Maybe that's just me.
