Mod Ren'Py Onhold Universal Choice Descriptor [2024-01-24] [ZLZK]

[ZLZK]

When will the update be done?

I have done close to nothing and I don't know when I will resume work on it.
I was busy and I don't feel like coding.


Update plan:

1. Complete rework. (To make use of my new/better ways of doing things.)

Some kind of tooltip errors in Brighton City Empire with the mod when opening the phone. Soon as you cursor over the screen it crashes. Remove the mod and all is well

Some kind of tooltip errors in Brighton City Empire with the mod when opening the phone.

Same issue as:

Looks like my regex pattern is not only getting label_name, but also other arguments of Call/Jump function.
And my function accepts only label_name.

I'm not going to provide fix to this or any other issue in near future.

Since tooltip is optional you can remove it by deleting:
game/_mods/ZLZK/_mods/UCD/scripts/extras

Actually fixing it is quite simple.
You just need to change def show_tooltip(self, label_name):
to def show_tooltip(self, label_name, *args, **kwargs):
in game/_mods/ZLZK/_mods/UCD/scripts/extras/tooltip.rpy file.

But I didn't give this fix before because it's ignoring problem instead of solving it.
I mean there might be a need to handle other arguments,
but I don't know of it, and wasn't and am not going to find out anytime soon.

I just hope you finish update the mod i normally use it in a lot of games it helps a lot for me i like to say keep things simple on improvements overall it's a good mod for me.

ZLZK any idea how to get around this one in Shunshine Love Chapters 1, 2 and 3?

Spoiler: LabelOverridesSwitch typeError

EDIT: Same error occurs in Ch2 and Ch3. All 3 Chapters unmodded (apart from this one)

EDIT2: Nevermind, found the cause, should have realized since there's no LabelOverridesSwitch in UCD.

Heads Up for anyone experiencing the same, it's the ipatch that causes it, and it will also prevent URM from working if you thought to use that instead.

ZLZK I'm seeing one problem here, the game is Pecker PI. the problem is universal choice describer doesn't work properly here but urm detected the variables correctly.
I'm also read the scripts, yes it's the same as urm.

If you have time please check it.

 

[ZLZK]

universal choice describer doesn't work properly

On your screenshot my mod also detects variable but has different value.
That probably means that my mod is looking further and gets value from there as well.
Either if this is desired or not, it has a purpose of getting values that are placed further.
So it does work properly, but is not always correct.
Better correctness requires more complex code that I didn't or wasn't able to do.

Anyway I'm not fixing/changing this mod until I remake it. (Not any time soon.)

I'm sorry, but errors were detected in your script. Please correct the
errors listed below, and try again.


File "game/_mods/ZLZK/_mods/UCD/scripts/patterns.rpy", line 471: indentation mismatch.

Ren'Py Version: Ren'Py 6.99.12.4.2187

Am I did anything wrong?

When the dialogue options turn gray, they cannot be selected. Could the subsequent module support displaying the conditions under which the grayed-out options become selectable? Thank you!

It's possible to do, but that's not what my mod does.
I mean you can do separate mod that even shows hidden choices and conditions for them.

Maybe URM (universal Ren'Py mod) will help.

I disabled the top right corner overlay using the instructions in this thread.
It's gone when I start a new game. Perfect.

However, if I load an existing save that was saved when it was enabled, the box is back, even though now disabled and functioning correctly for fresh saves.

How do I disable the top right corner box for existing saves that were saved before I disabled it?

 

[R8d_X]

This has been working really well for me - just wanted to say Thanks

Deleting the screen does the trick, but there is better way to do it.

File: _mods/ZLZK/scripts/screens.rpy
Code: screen _mods_ZLZK_overlay():
Replace its contents with null

Perfect. Thank you. Much appreciated.

Just what exactly is different on this new version?

The one I'm still using is the 4 file mod (i.e. _ucd.rpy, config.rpy, _ucd.rpyc, and config.rpyc) as when I tried to use this new one then nothing changes at all.

I expected it'd function the same as this old one I just mentioned.

Hello Dev.

Can this be answered? I really don't know how to use your new version of this Mod.

Did I extract it the right way? Because, no matter what game I try this new version, nothing just works.

I extracted both Zip files, but still choices have no variable hints in them, etc.

This is how I extracted the zip.

game_root/game/_mods/ZLZK/...

Is the above correct? Or is it supposed to be like this?

game_root/game/ZLZK/...

I really don't get how to make your new version work at all. The old, 4 file mod from before still works but I want to use this new version.

 

[ZLZK]

I really don't know how to use your new version of this Mod.

You unpack both archives and you merge 'game' folders from them.
Then you merge merged 'game' folder with game's 'game' folder.
It is in game's root folder that has those folders: 'game', 'lib', 'renpy'

Mod not working on this game https://f95zone.to/threads/above-the-law-ep-i-v0-9-3-lewdkitty87.221126/ ... I'm sure I put your mod in the right place but still have 2 snapshots to see yourself ... (Used URM to hide textbox)
EDIT: Post #29 seems same issue?

EDIT: Post #29 seems same issue?

Issue in post 29 have been already resolved.

I'm not fixing any issues any time soon.
Anyway, if any flags aren't show they are two most likely reasons.
Either there is no flags to be displayed, or game has custom menu.

 

[joy.stick]

You have updated your mod since post #29 and I was hoping if it's a known issue could have been easily resolved.
Posted a screenshot from one time there is a clue next to choices. Used your mod like a couple of days ago, with another game and it worked, don't know why doesn't with this.
