Mod Ren'Py Completed Mech Academy Multi-Mod [v1.0.0][RiamMar]

[MrBenny]

Hi RM...is there a way to disable the UI section of your mod (textbox used)? I have my own custom bottom shaded textbox that I use for all the title's I play, and your mod prevents any override from happening. (Loading the default textbox)

I have included a copy of it in this post, and if possible could you please consider adding it to your mod as a choice of textbox? (Also when a title uses a much larger size textbox size, I just adjust the dimensions using

The textbox override is mod\screens\say.rpy

I wanted to post a quick hack with your textbox image but then just added the option to the UI settings to switch it, as you suggested.

I took your pic and made it 1px wide, since it's just a repeating pattern? Saves about 240kB.
If it's not just a "simple" vertical gradiant, replace the "mod\images\textbox.png" and let me know, so I can re-replace it with the bigger image in the next update.

You will need to yank up the opacity to max. Preview won't show the alternative background.

Files are updated in OP, additionally find the archive attached.

0.5.17 works for 0.5.17.1

Awesome work RiamMar ! TYVM for this!

Great mod, wish it had feature to move text to center as well, it really annoy me text being on the left side instead of center. Even with taking width to last bar it's still not centered and it's quite annoying to me, to be honest.

You can reduce the width of the textbox (and increase the textbox height) to your liking (from 990px up to full width), making the textbox more "centered".
The scrollbar on the side is a bit tiny... Might need to change that.

As I already told '' Even with taking width to last bar it's still not centered'' sorry for my paint skills, but as you can see this is not centered for real, even with the max settings you give it's still closer to left side as it can be clearly seen, and it's disturbing

Ah, I see. You want everything "true center". So that the middle of the text is in the middle of the screen.
I will see if I can get that in. Shouldn't be too hard.

You're screenshot is a bit misleading though, to what the textbox with is, since the text isn't filling the whole with of the textbox. I made a quick mesurement and if the box is full, the left side is actually 50 or 60 pixel to wide? So it has a bit of a jank to the right.
Anyway, as I said, I'll probably add a "true text center" option soon™. Just remind me if my brain tries to forget about it

 

[jimtra]

the mod doesn't work keep getting errors

Can you post the error please?
There should be an error.txt and/or log.txt in the games base folder (where the .exe is).

You probably installed the mod wrong.
The mod needs to go including the mod folder, not just the content of the mod folder.

Can you kindly delete this game install, extract it again and copy the complete content of the archive?
Final path should look like "MechAcademy-0.5.17-pc\game\mod\"

The textbox override is mod\screens\say.rpy

I wanted to post a quick hack with your textbox image but then just added the option to the UI settings to switch it, as you suggested.

I took your pic and made it 1px wide, since it's just a repeating pattern? Saves about 240kB.
If it's not just a "simple" vertical gradiant, replace the "mod\images\textbox.png" and let me know, so I can re-replace it with the bigger image in the next update.

You will need to yank up the opacity to max. Preview won't show the alternative background.

Files are updated in OP, additionally find the archive attached.

Thanks very much RM for modifying your mod for me. It looks great with my Dark Mode mod for this title. I also noticed when reducing the png resolution size 1x533 vs using my original textbox file, the reduced file places small noticeable horizontal lines...the original, removes them. So no real issue adding the larger file...thanks again.

Also I noticed an error when I try to turn on the choice mod switch (image below and error code below). For me this isn't a big issue, as I will just ignore that feature. The mod still works, just letting you know.

Spoiler: Mod errors if I try to enabled this...

To be honest, not sure this button is even used in this mod. Also not sure how it got broken...
Anyway, fixed it and replaced the textbox bg with the full-width version.

Okay, thanks. I'll wait for the error report.

ok so I was a genius and since there were no choices I overwrote my save file. so this error comes from an older autosave in a similar area

but I did make sure this error only occurs AFTER installing the mod

Hmmm, I'll have a look but I can't promise anything.
There is/was a translation fix I released for some of the early releases, maybe that made issues?
Should not happen again in the future, since I wont release unsolicited game fixes anymore (due to having enough to do with the games I work on )

If find nothing now and this happens again in 0.5.18 or 0.5.19, I will have another look. Maybe it's a Ren'Py version issue? Though I normally compile my mods with the game itself... Well, no need to speculate here, better get to work.

I'll keep an eye out on the steam release and update the mod if needed or release a separate archive for it.
If there's a 1.0.1 fix or something (bigger than v1.0.0) and I don't see it pop up the the "latest" section, give me a bump, so I can have a look.

Some might have read it in some of the other threads, but I'm dropping out of the modding business in favor of

• working for Lockheart (Over the Moon, The Judas Ghost, Quean Bee)
• being a member of One Hand Clapping (Princess on the Run) and
• learning more Godot to create Fading Aether (Imagine an idiot making a farming sim [no, no vegetable f*ing! wait, maybe, depends ] with a biggerr focus on lewd content [Q4 '25 or Q1 '26?] than the vanilla farming sim market has to offer)
• working on something secret (for now)

I think, one can see that my time is limited with those projects on the table.

If you are a modder, except for Between Two Worlds and it's final update, basically all other mods are up for grabs! Leave me a DM hear or join my discord or something, to let me know which mod you want to pick up.

Bad Hero got picked up by Murray. That leaves FurrHouse with the most regular update schedule, followed by Hero to Villain.
