Do you guys use the Auto mode?

So many devs remove the basic renpy buttons at the bottom. That's fine and all since most functions have redundancies, but there is no way to enable automode without those buttons. Am I the only one that gets super annoyed when there is no auto mode?

Devs shouldnt remove any feature, period.
As for using auto i do not since sometimes the dialogue can be corny so i usually click a little quicker and go at different paces depending on the game and importance of story/plot

Auto mode is great if I already played a game once and just want to skip over dialogues I've already seen.

If a new game is so bad I need to skip everything with auto mode, I'll just unpack the images and be done with it.

Not really sure what auto mode is. I assume it's like the skip button when you hold down ctrl for things already viewed? To be honest, I rarely replay porn games so I don't think I've ever used this.

The main issue I have with renpy devs is when they disable rollback that really pisses me off

As someone who never uses the quick menu or auto mode, I had it removed from the game I'm working on. I didn't understand why anyone would want it when they can just right click to access options or use hotkeys. Because of your post though, I just made the quick menu toggleable in the preferences of my game.

If any devs want to do the same, here is the code. Just add it in the preferences screen of screens.rpy
Python:
vbox:
    style_prefix "radio"
    label _("Quick Menu")
    textbutton _("Disable") action SetVariable("quick_menu", False)
    textbutton _("Enable") action SetVariable("quick_menu", True)

Some devs even have individual toggle for showing those buttons. I think it was BaDIK that did that.

Yes, I hate it when it's not available.
I do and found a way to make it available (again?...)
-use unren (don't work with URM the last time I tried... don't break the game but disable the URM function)
-choose the 9th element of that one (i'm sorry if i'm not clear... i'm french speaker... just trying to help)
-then, in "your game folder"/game/Script/screens, open screens.rpy (with a code editor or... at least.... word.exe)
-ctrl+f (search) type "auto"... and you'll find it (I hope so...)
-suppress the "#" before it
-save
-start your game and enjoy the auto function ( or tell me that I suck... if it didn't work just tried it on 1 game that night... a lack of experience with a good feedback can make me grow ;-) )...
