Thank you for providing the code, this helped a lot as I was trying to find a way to prevent future infections.
I worked with ChatGPT on this one and came up with a block_network.rpy mod, if the game tries to access the internet the action will be blocked and you will get a notification.
Tested it with the downloader code you have provided and with 0x52_URM (automatically checks for updates online), internet access was blocked successfully.
I will attack the mod here and put the code for review
Hmm, good suggestion, too bad it got deprecated.
" This repository was archived by the owner on Feb 19, 2025. It is now read-only. "
There are multiple solutions to this problem, your suggestion is a good alternative, but your suggestion also requires users to go install an app, learn how to use it and it only works on windows.
I suggested a drop in solution, which is by no means perfect, I was thinking that we can make a condom for python games, in general, that would work on any OS (Windows, Linux, Mac or Android).

Unless you're waiting on a mod to be updated with a version that's clean (I haven't been paying attention to progress on that), you don't have anything to worry about now. I've downloaded the latest copy (after the date and time the OP indicates) and can confirm it's totally fine now. All of the files you can get from links on the OP are clean now and safe to use. Only if you downloaded a copy of Ep6 before the dates and times shown on the OP is it an issue. In that case, just delete the older copy and download a fresh one and you'll be fine.
script.rpy is the file without the downloader and this is what I've modified and added the clean WT-Mod.
script.virus.rpy is the original file from ripson mod.
downloader.txt is the downloader code removed from the original Ripson mod
I can not find the WT mod link. Does anybody know where is the new link thanks.
Oh due to virus problem that is going on. Does anyone have guide or something?
Awesome. The dev is sure living high on the hog at a couple hundred bucks a month. Obviously they make enough money to retire on this game, so clearly it's just laziness and not more likely to be real-life obligations getting in the way....
I'll call it a schnitzel, since we're just making stuff up here.
I'm passing the "blue ball your dick till you can't no more" torch to you, so good luck then, cos I'm out of patience for this mess lol. Another shovelware it goes.
Definitely not the first time and definitely not the last time on this site. Many interesting projects fell by the hand of greed, but welp, it was a good expectation and hype infused run while it lasted...

I try to go into VNs like this without any expectation. So when it looks like things might heat up, I wait because it's extraordinarily common for tons of VNs to have early teasing, even MC semi-torture, before finally committing to any meaningful intimacy to happen. Then I don't have to worry about blue-balling.
