I tried using this mod on hornycraft 0.24 on Android, sadly this doesn't work nor i get a pop up even after trying everything.
The directory was Android>data>hornycraft>file
After that I made a new folder and named it "game" and pasted the zipped mod and after restarting didn't work. I also tried making folder inside file>game didn't work either.
I'm now disappointed at how difficult it is to cheat in this game for resources, I gave up :(

Before any renpy save was easily modifiable by simplify using "online save editor" but now any renpy game i try to cheat always shows a pop up "file size is too large (25mb)" even thou save is like 400kps.
Tried using notepad++ but when I do open the save everything is shown in some weird symbol I cannot understand, this method doesn't work either.
Other than using a urm is there any other way? Please share ur knowledge and if anyone knows pls tell me why renpy made this drastic changes, ty.

that cant work. you need to paste it in the renpys game folder, not the one where saves might go to. You can either edit apks though that might be too much for you, or use joiplay. https://f95zone.to/threads/play-rpg...wine-vn-maker-on-android-using-joiplay.44792/ download from patreon incl. renpy plugins, download the win version of the game you want to edit, extract the files (fe mixplorer can do that), extract urm to the game folder, open the .exe or .py file with joiplay and you are done.

dunno whats kps, you mean KB (ps is for kbps which is down-/upload speed - kbps= kilo bits per second). Note that files are compressed, 400KB can easilly take up few MB uncompressed tough >25 is not that easy (typical is a ratio of ~ 1:10). But if you truly meant 400kbps and the file was actually larger .... (note that B = Byte = 8 bits)
Notepad sure cant work with normal saves. You could write a python script (may even using a chatbot of your liking - tell it to be able to convert renpy saves using pickle an zlib).
Other tools than named till now idk. It's also not clear android or pc? the first limits you bit and urm with joiplay is likely the easiest approach imo nearly always working. For the latter state what you trly want. Well ok you could also work with https://f95zone.to/threads/unren-ba...compiler-console-developer-menu-enabler.3083/ f.e.

Firstly ty for such a detailed response :D
1) I'm aware of joiplay and have used it n number of times,I downloaded the window version, download renpy plugin and all but the moment I click the app it crashes, no idea why but hornycraft does not open on joiplay version 1.20.023. I will try again with updated version and let you know in few days.

2)u talked about "renpeny game folder" which I'm not aware on Android where I can locate it, if it's not too much to ask can u pls guide me!!!
3) u also talked about editing the apk which I had tried but failed miserably, again any help regarding this would be appreciated.
4) I will try grviewer and let u know if works or not.
Again ty for the response,I try out this method and be back. Have a good day!!! :D

The location of the game folder for any ren'py game on android is:
  • "(root)/data/user/0/(com.)GameTitle/files/game/"
You can always find the game folder or save location for a ren'py game on android if you take a look on the log.txt file located at
  • "internal storage/Android/data/(com.)GameTitle/files/log.txt"

I will simply quote something I did post elsewhere. This was for modding a unity game but the experience is similar, just extract urm to assets\bin\game

I had a similar problem with another game so I made this mod_save_directory_options.rpy file to configure the path of the game save files.
Edit it using a text editor:
Code: 
define config.save_directory = "Your_Game_Name"
replace
Code: 
Your_Game_Name
with the name of the desired game, in this case
Code: 
The_Watch
it should be like this:
Code: 
define config.save_directory = "The_Watch"
Place the edited file mod_save_directory_options.rpy in the "game" folder.
Now the URM will be able to save the settings, and the game will additionally save the game save files in the folder:
Code: 
%APPDATA%/RenPy/The_Watch

Unfortunately this dev caused an issue within Ren'Py itself. I could only fix this by overruling Ren'Py's build-in function SetLocalVariable(), which I don't want to do.

I have a work-around for you:
  1. Open the file renpy/common/00action_data.rpy
  2. Find the line def SetLocalVariable(name, value): (line 161)
  3. Add a line bellow that one containing: import sys

Details:
They assigned a character to the variable sys, which is a

because it's use by Ren'Py internally.
Be doing this they broke a function inside Ren'Py that URM needs.

But there's not SetLocalVariable in the 00action_data.rpy I even add the code after class LocalVariable(Dict) but didn't fix the issue
I might've missed something I don't know.
The game is DEEP VAULT 69
I would appreciate if you checked the file or the game.
Thank you :)

Maybe this will work:
find
Code: 
super(LocalVariable, self).__init__(sys._getframe(1).f_locals,
add a line above it
Code: 
import sys
should look like this
Code: 
    class LocalVariable(Dict):
        """
        An Accessor mixin class for Actions setting a local variable.
        """

        kind = "local variable"

        def __init__(self, name, *args, **kwargs):
            import sys
            super(LocalVariable, self).__init__(sys._getframe(1).f_locals,
                                                name,

This use may not even be supported but, I'm getting an exception 2 renders into the Ch 4 release of Leaving DNA on Steam.

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

I have the latest URM version installed in the game's game\ directory in the Steam folders. I had loaded a save at the end of Ch 3 and got the exception, so loaded something earlier and skipped to the end, same problem.

Thought maybe I tweaked something in that run and it broke something so I skipped through a new playthrough, making no changes with URM, and still got the error.

So I changed the name of the game's whole folder and told Steam to re-install it and skipped through again, did not get the error.

So it looks like URM's mere presence is causing it, but who knows. Still have both installs of the game so I can test anything if you need. I've used URM on other Steam versions of AVNs without a problem so I was really puzzled by this.

Edit: Later on at the first decision of the new release I made a save of the 'clean' version and switched folder names then continued playing from that point with URM installed. Again, made no changes (though did add a couple variables to the watch panel) and played on fine until a scene in the gym with Malena after forgetting about meeting her in the park. Another exception:
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
I tried folder juggling again and had to go back to the clean install and the clean save at the first question and skip forward to get by the error. Nearly identical to the first one but it is JG instead of LD as the undefined Sayer this time.

check the characters.rpy for

and

In the install with URM, those lines are not in that file. In the install straight from Steam that I just ran a whole playthrough on, that file doesn't exist. There's only a character.py.

Not trying to contradict what you said and am thankful that that probably is gonna partially* fix the problem, but I don't see how its not an URM issue if it only occurs on the URM install. :confused:

* It kept happening with different "Sayer"s but I didn't make note each time and eventually just stopped using the URM version so I could finish the new content.

So there are other missing lines, but who is responsible for that file? It doesn't exist when URM isn't installed but installing URM is a single file so what generates characters.rpy? If URM is causing that to be generated from data from within the game but that data is incomplete and the resulting file is causing a Ren'Py error, who gets to fix it? :unsure:o_O:LOL: Too far above my pay grade. I'll just leave this bug report here and show myself out now. :whistle::)

URM does not create new or interfere with any gamefiles

you see the character.rpy only ( at the xx/game/setup folder) if you extract the .rpa files
(here ,fe , the archive.rpa)

Screenshot_15.png

the character.py is at the xx/renpy folder - dont mess with those files !!


maybe try and test with this ↓↓ extract into the mainfolder (where the .exe is) my game version is 0.4 like to download here at F95

I hope that the option to remap the "M" key is implemented soon.

I like the toggle watch panel feature and use it, but...
When typing a character's name or editing a variable in the console (and need the letter "m"), it pops up unwanted.

That being said, great mod and super grateful for it.
