Ren'Py New Ren'Py Token Check (when creating a save)

[Lecastel]

Hi, if you try to do this on an android device do the following:

1. Connect your device to a computer.

2. Enable PTP

3. Create, on your computer, a file called security_keys.txt with the text: Signing-key (and nothing else).

4. Make that file read only.

5. Transfer that file to your device.

6. Replace the signing_keys.txt file inside the folder that holds your saves with the file you had created.

*7. Open the game, load the fixed file and then save to a new spot.

*8. Close the game and delete the altered security_keys.txt.

*9. Reopen the game (so it will recreate the original security_keys.txt) and open the NEW save, it will ask you one time if you sure but will let you to open.

*10. Save the game again and there should be no problems henceforth.

11. Enjoy.

* 7-10 are to address the concern about not having the original security_keys.txt

it worked man,many thanks.

to bypass the security check in a game i don't even remember and now all my preferences in other ren'py games keeps resetting after starting/restarting the game, i wonder if there is anything i can do to rectify that?

So, I've been using

for years to edit saves and skip the grind for some games. But now every time I do, I get the same "warning" message. Selecting yes or no makes no difference and I can't get into that save. I've tried to follow the token_dir fix and it doesn't change anything. I'm finally desperate enough to ask for help, since this is hitting all the games I try to edit. If some kind soul would be kind enough to break it down, barney style for me they'd have my gratitude.

I found this to work
At least every time I used it

Head to
[game name]\renpy\savetoken.py
use an editor like Notepad or better Notpad++ to open it

Look for this

Look for the first "return False", you find it at the top of the document

change it from "return False" to "return True" and save

I think it's best to do patch that save token so everyone i just can download that patch file here easily, if anyone in f95zone willing update that patch would be best for everyone. Just a suggestion if anyone knows how to do that?

this may be a solution of sorts, but it will require two things
- re-sign each uploaded file
- have a public signature somewhere and instructions on how to add it
maybe it would be easier to sign each time yourself or get a paid subscription that will do it for you?

Please tell people to not mess with the signing-key part of the "security_keys.txt" - it can and will cause issues later.
Also - making that "security_keys.txt" file - read only, is a path to failure.

The below attached .7z has 2 files.

The renpy folder has a savetoken.py that should over-write the old one.
The ren'py SDK's "savetoken.py" for the versions 8, 1, 1 - 8, 1, 2 - 8, 1, 3 etc., did change slightly with each version - but that file I provided works on all of them - and should work on futures versions as well!

The game folder - has an "extra_savedirs_fix.rpy" file - that stops the extra "sync" files *(redundant save files) from being created in the appdata/roaning/renpy/game folders. Those files are fairly useless - and wastes a lot of drive space. It also includes some of the most common, and used game fixes - that aid many games.

Cheers

Edit - Updated the mod to work an all versions - including ren'py 8.2.0+ and 7.7.0+ as well as older ren'py versions also.

now the game wont start
