Mod Ren'Py Universal Ren'Py Mod / URM [2.5] (mod any Ren'Py game yourself)

[0x52]

URM is just getting better and better with each update, thanks.

Feature request: How about have an option to show the code for each choice in a notification slider, or an overlay on the screen, without having to click through the screen popups, such as: having to click the "Choices Detected" icon, and then click "code" for each choice.

This would make URM act like a customized walkthrough mod where it shows the score along with each choice without any extra clicking or need for additional user interaction.

For example, let's say the game has the choices:

"Check her out"

"Keep walking"

There could be an option in URM in the Notifications setting for "Code Notification", that is similar to the "Code Detected" popout that pops out of the side of the screen whenever a choice has code associated with it, with the code shown, that looks like:

Choices Code Detected
# Code
1 jenny_love +=1
2 jenny_love -=1

Then the user could just glance at the side of the screen for a moment, and then click the choice on the game that they want. This would eliminate the need to click through the URM popups and code buttons for every choice to see the code.

Another feature would be to make the notification popout have a transparent background, but this is more an asthetic choice.

What do you think? I think this would be incredibly useful, and make using your mod even more of a seamless experience.

Yes. I've been thinking about this. But there are some things to consider:

• What if the code for a choice/path contains multiple lines?
• I would like to also show the condition for a choice/path
• I would like the possibility to only show the active choice/path, but I'm not sure how to show the condition for a possible "else" choice/path. Because that would be if non of the previous conditions matched

The mod doesn't work on college kings

See this:

Reporting an issue
When reporting an issue with URM, please include the information below:

• Are you using the latest version of URM?
• Which game has the issue (preferable a link to the game's thread)
• If it's a crash (grey screen) attach the "traceback.txt" file
• What did you do that caused the issue?
• Attach a screenshot of the issue (if possible)
• When URM gave an error (not a grey crash screen), check the log.txt file for lines starting with "0x52:"

Yes. I've been thinking about this. But there are some things to consider:

• What if the code for a choice/path contains multiple lines?

I was thinking about that also. For the issue with multiple lines, what about showing each code element on its own line? Like this:

(Alignment in the forum screen isn't preserved quite right. jenny_love and friends_wb is meant to be right aligned with each other, a few spaces after the choice number.)

Choices Code Detected​

# Code​

1 jenny_love +=1​

friends_wb = 1​

2 jenny_love -=1​

friends_wb = 0​

• I would like to also show the condition for a choice/path
• I would like the possibility to only show the active choice/path, but I'm not sure how to show the condition for a possible "else" choice/path. Because that would be if non of the previous conditions matched

If I am understanding you correctly, you want to show all the features of the current Show Choices screen, in the quick code slider. How about for the quick code popout/slider, instead of showing any of the conditions for each choice/path, just show the "visible" paths, and their code lines.

The code notification slider, at least in my mind, isn't meant to replace all the features of the full choices notification screen. The current choices notification screen, with the conditions shown would still be there as always, and will show when the user clicks on the "show choices" icon in the notification. The quick code notification option is just meant as a quick summary of the code for each of the visible choices on the screen, if any.

Is there a way to sort the search results, or a way to change the column sizes on found results? I've gota a few games that the names of the results are too long to actually read without hitting the remember button to read the whole thing.

hey,
i got a problem with this newest version
i play being a dik, ep1-8 and use scrappy mod and also your urm mod
when i take a choice, where i get points and scroll back to look the other answer, the points dont roll back..
example, choice gives -1 points and i scroll back before the choice, i still get the -1 points, coz it doesnt rollback to before the choice..^^
hope, you understand, what i mean ;]
never had that problem in any version of your mod before - i use atm the your mod version 30.10.22, coz its the last one, that worked
regards

They did something to the game that causes this. If you add an empty .rpy file to the game folder the same thing happens.

Sorting in search is on my todo list. I have to think about resizing the columns, I don't like to have the buttons behind the variable on the other end of the screen. And I certainly don't want the headache of trying to create user resizable columns.

Does your problem still occur with only one of the mods installed or only with the combination?

hmm, cant rly test that
i use 8.2 version of the game with 8.2 mod - coz 8.3 deleted some audio files
dno what files/folders are the mod
i jus know, your old mod worked alltime fine (alltime both mods installed, yours and scrappys), till this version - january/march/august and october 2022 worked without problems
and gamefolder is alltime the same, jus deleted savefiles, when i wanted to play again^^

when i got some time, ill download the 8.3 version of the game and test again..

e: tested it now with 8.3 version of the game and only your new mod december 2022 and it fails - points dont rollback - i could do now with answer and scrollback get endless points and vice versa with -points..
so it must be your mod

i'd suggest to use calculated widths if this is possible (for example columns Remeber and Watch, and buttons column for now wastes a lot of space). another option could be split a single row into 2 small rows

for now, i'd be grateful if rows had some borders or dividers, ideally zebra colored rows

 

[Bingoogus]

How can i get this to work with an old save on Harem Hotel? New game saves it works fine but i had to stop using Ashram's mod due to his illness and am trying to use another user's save file without the mod but i cannot get it to work, no splash and alt+m does nothing.

To be clear:
New game = works
Loading older, unmodded and fully functional save = does not work

Edit: strange, playing for a bit i noticed the pathing options pop-up appearing, fiddling around in and then exiting 'alt+m' still didn't work, i jumped around a few screens, started dialogue a few times and then poof, it works again now... very weird but problem solved i guess.

A small suggestion for the path option.

Often times there is only a single path option available and in that case there is no "Select" button to force the route where the conditions were not met.

E.g:


The condition is true and it'll already go into the current "Select" path.
In this case, there is no option to go into the path where the condition is False.
This might also apply for multiple paths too if they have an 'else' path where none of the paths are true.

Sorry if this was already mentioned, but i've found this situation a few times.

Great work as always, I'm always impressed with how much this mod evolves over time.
I specially loved the variable monitoring and better path detection.

--edit

It seems sometimes there is the "select" for the negative condition.

So I guess the situations where there isn't one means there is no code if the active path conditions are not met.
It might still be useful to be able to chose to not go into it in case the path sets some variable inside which leads to future changes.

So maybe an option to ignore all paths and just skip the 'If' statement completely. But then again, this could potentially break a game here and there if using it where you shouldn't.

Idk, feel free to ignore this if you'd like, even I'm not sure of it anymore.
People can always just use the dev console and change the variable for the conditions manually if they really wanted to not go into the paths.

I have to look into this and will let you know.

for now, i'd be grateful if rows had some borders or dividers, ideally zebra colored rows

I do want to create alternating colored rows, but I don't want to make rows that exists of multiple lines.
When we have alternating colored rows it's no problem to put the buttons at the end and make the variable name as wide as possible.

In your first example where there is only one option means there is no "else" in the code. I have something on my todo list to see if I can skip paths like those.
The game's code in that case would be something like this:

# Some dialogue

if points > 10:
    # Some extra dialogue
    
# Continue the dialogue

I think making zebra rows is no trouble.
Yep, multiple rows is no use and yes, please try push buttons to the right, using 100% of current screen width
good luck, and i'd be glad to help as much as i can (though i'm lacking knowledge of Python and RenPy for now)

Looks like you're using an old URM version (from before 1.9.4 (July 2022))

0x52 Has anyone mentioned issues with URM in "The Roommate"?

It worked early in the game, and I do have saved variables from that point but at today's point, in-game, search no longer works, it returns no results (even for the vars I have saved). The fact it worked, and now doesn't, seems... odd.

Funny this, I was about to post about this game myself when I saw yours. It's not the first time " The Roommate" causes odd behavior, although that one is fixed.
Back to searching, I found out the girls have a lastname so I tried searching for it but I did get an error ...

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
  File "renpy/common/00library.rpy", line 268, in say
    who(what, interact=interact, *args, **kwargs)
  File "game/0x52/framework/inputs.rpy", line 85, in enter
TypeError: isinstance() arg 2 must be a class, type, or tuple of classes and types

I also had JokerLeader's walkthrough installed and Penfold's transparent text box mod. (as in past tense because I had soo much shit with the latest release I dropped it for now)

Odd thing, when I tried reproducing this error, it just brought back only the MC's lastname... seems it has a problem finding object properties in this one (all girls seems to be an object with properties, e.g. Kari would have multiple properties as in kari.lastname).
No idea why it threw that error the first time and not on subsequent searches...

This game also has weird issues with rollling back and then encountering a local label (of the form .label) if you continue, plus the latest release gave me soo much shit with fatal errors on loading old saved games, I dropped it for now. Maybe I'll revisit it in the future after I cooled down and more updates have been released.

PS. The variables screen could also do with pagination. Like the Renaming screen in the past, this one too causes slowdown when you're tracking a lot of variables. Not as much as the Renaming screen did but noticable

EDIT: I dug up a backup from saturday (thank god for nightly backups). I added an example of the odd error you can get after a roll-back and continue...

They did something to the game that causes this. If you add an empty .rpy file to the game folder the same thing happens.

Is there a way to figure out what they did exactly, to bypass it? Thanks.
