Tutorial Ren'Py Enabling Developer & Command Consoles In Ren'py

[Quinnzoel]

to make it easier, if the option.rpy file does not exsist in the common folder download the one up top and drop it in the common folder. if there is an options.rpy already but no config.developer = True or config.developer = False statement in it, add config.developer = True right below another config.xxx statement (with same spaces) as long as it is below the python hide statement.

You might wish to download the 00_console.rpy file from here as well to make it easier.

Following this I am 100% so far at loading the dev console at all games I have tried and using the variable viewer to cheat my ass off in the console!

I keep the console & options files in the root of my game folder and drop them into every new renpy game that I play. (after looking for a legit options.rpy or 00options.rpy file of course)

I got this
File "renpy/common/00console.rpy", line 56: style property adjust_spacing is not known.
adjust_spacing False

adjust_spacing False

restore all files from zip/rar (or just the 00_console.rpy) and extract this into your renpy/common folder

your console will be enabled as well as dev mode without having to edit any files. I keep my dirty_cheater.rpy file in my root directory and just drop it in the renpy/common folder of all renpy games that I play and cheat like a MF...
It's not the perfect way to do it but it works for me. You could also use Anne's dirty console or Sam's unren.

how to learn commands

how to learn commands

Technically speaking there's no command to learn. Opening the console and using the cheats given in the game's thread is the best way to do.

But you can still learn the basis :

variable_name

to see the actual value of the "variable_name" variable.

variable_name = 10

to assign a value (here "10") to a variable

variable_name += 1
variable_name -= 2

to add 1 or subtract 2, to a variable

help

To have a quick summary of the few command directly related to the console.

You can do more in the console, since every line is seen as a script line, but for this you need to learn Ren'py and/or Python, which is way more than what you need to just cheat.

I am playing the PC Build of Renpy game called "Flute Of Shame", so Would someone mind telling me how do I fix the "An Exception Has Occured" Error of Renpy ? Besides, If Someone can tell me how do I fix the "An Exception Has Occured" Error of Renpy immediatel, that will be EXTREMELY FANTASTIC!

the H function and S for saving is gone for me ! what's going on? it happened in all of my Ren'py games !! they don't save pic with "S" or don't hide the text with "H" !! what do i do ? also the "V" for voice is gone !

Clicking your mousewheel should also hide the interface. Don't know about the rest or your problem.

The game use a version 6.99.10, released in March 2016, while the actual 6.99.12 was first released in February 2017. But you're right, at this time the variables were sorted by the variable viewer.




Not possible with versions previous than 6.99.11 (or .12, don't remember exactly). The console is not scrollable in these versions, and dir() return way too much information. For the game used in example by @mirenzo, only half of the result will be hidden because of this. So you've two solutions, none are simple.

1) Clean the result of dir :

[e for e in dir() if not callable( getattr( store, e ) )]

You'll still have a lot of crap, but divide their number by 4.

2) Search directly where you're sure to have only variables :

sorted( renpy.python.store_dicts["store"].ever_been_changed )

Like it's the list of all the variables (in fact it's all the store's attributes, but it's exceptional to found someone who also alter Ren'py's functions) that have had their value changed at least once since the start of the game, you'll have to wait that a value change (like for the variable viewer). But in counter part, you'll be sure to have only the variables. So, for an average game, something like 25% of what a cleaned dir will give you, or 5% for a full dir.

Note that both methods, including your "dir only", give a limited view of the games variables since they all ignore any store other than the default one. They aren't this many, but there's games which use their own store, and here the variable viewer will give you what you search, but not these console tricks.

Thanks!
I wasn't having any luck with dir() in "View of Family-enhanced" as it seemed to be changing the dialogue box instead.
However, the following worked great
sorted( renpy.python.store_dicts["store"].ever_been_changed )

Does anyone know a "page" command for Ren'py? In Windows the command for directory is dir /p which shows you a page at a time.

A different but similar request is when you use dir() some games don't have a scroll bar on the right side to move up or down. Just a single page view that doesn't show the complete directory of commands. I didn't know where else to post this, sorry if it's the wrong forum.

hey guys for some reason the variable viewer option is not showing any variables... just a blank screen... console is working but variable viewer is not.... also used unren.bat to enable console still not working

 

[coolboy88]

Are there any other link to download the ''options.rpy'' cuz zippyshare just keep popping up ads and not letting me download the file.

I am having difficulty with the Sakura Dungeon game, pressing shift and D doesn't work on the game. Also, when I leave the game and open again it give me a script error

What you did ? Just tried it and it works correctly. The variable's names are unreadable because of the font, but it work.

Also, when I leave the game and open again it give me a script error

Without the error it's difficult to say, but I'll take a guess : The error is for a duplicated label because you used un.rpyc and let the .rpy files in the folder. It's normal, just move the said .rpy files anywhere else, and it will work correctly.

[edit:Sorry, messed with the quotations]

I added the options.rpy file to the game folder. Then, I went to .../Renpy/Common/00console.rpy and set the config.console variable to True via notepad. I wasn't able to change via notepad++

Well, there's something which gone wrong somewhere :/ Have you tried without editing a single file, using directly

Thank you, the unren helped enable the console. However, about the error I'm getting, it now starts to happen when I try to open a image from image picker it gives me this

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

Er... Look like a problem with the developer mode, but it's strange since it works for me :/
