Thank you for this super easy to use I appreciate it.

Hello! Love the URM. But I'm having trouble with it for the first time. The game is University Days and here's the traceback. Any help would be awesome!

I noticed something with custom textboxes that's probably a feature request rather than anything URM is doing wrong.

When a dev uses multiple to show people talking at the same time, the URM custom textbox just shows them both in the same space, overlapping entirely. This seems to be a pretty commonly-used feature, so having a way to properly display it could be useful.

Example in script for the game Evermore:

    with dissolve
    e "Whaaat!" (multiple=2)
    j "Whaaat!" (multiple=2)

The multiple is defined in screens.rpy:

style block1_multiple2_say_window:
    xalign 0.5
    xfill True
    yalign 0.7
    ysize gui.textbox_height

    background Image("gui/textbox.png", xalign=0.5, yalign=0.7)

style block2_multiple2_say_window:
    xalign 0.5
    xfill True
    yalign gui.textbox_yalign
    ysize gui.textbox_height

    background Image("gui/textbox.png", xalign=0.5, yalign=1.0)

Wrote is down, but I don't know if I want to support those rather unique cases

I have been using URM for a while now in multiple games. So far, I haven't encountered any issues and it's been useful to me.

However, I would like to suggest a QoL change: having the "Visibility condition" and "Choice code" windows auto-close after picking an option. The "Choices" window does close automatically and I don't see relevance of the condition and choice code info afterward either. This would be a nice QoL change to me.

Regardless, thank you for making this mod.

Noted! I'll fix this

• Are you using the latest version of URM?
• Which game has the issue (preferable a link to the game's thread)

• When URM gave an error (not a grey crash screen), check the log.txt file for lines starting with "0x52:"
• What OS are you on?
• Do you have any other mods installed? Does the issue still exist without the other mod(s)?

No, there's no regex support (yet)

this would really be a killer feature! Imagine replacing all occurences of a name with another word *cough* mom/sis *cough* but only in dialogue lines spoken by a specific actor!
Of course, not all are so at home with RegEx, I myself have too look up every single thing I do in RegEx. Also, there are more than one format of RegEx [insert relevant xkcd strip], so there's that too.
I guess coding a simple choice interface on top of regex for the more common advanced search-replace is a bit much. And those of us who really really want to do such actions on the script could always unren the files and use a text editor with RegEx...

Of course! My bad! I also included this info at the top of the traceback.txt file attached.

Thanks!

like this ?

(for example)

well, I can't code for shit (as in, last time i tried to learn programming was Commodore Basic in the 80s), but I guess so? That was written in Python I assume from the header, and Ren'Py is in Python too, so I guess that basically drops in as a mod for whichever game it is for?

yep
this works on most renpy games

just replace the names to the ones in the actual game

the last part is a textreplacer no matter who talks

Thank you for the additional information. Unfortunately there's not much I can do.
They (game dev) broke Python itself by assigning a character to a variable named "type".

There's not much I can do with such little information. See this:

Is freezing the only way to get a changed value to stick? I changed a value from true to false then saved the game. If I load that save up again, the value is back to true.

EDIT: Actually even freezing the value seems to do nothing. I switch the value to false and turn on freeze. I save my game. I load a different save, then I load the first save and suddenly the value is back to true.

try to change the value/statement, go a few textlines further - save and load

This mod is great, it really saves me with games with multiple routes and with no gallery. I wish we could find the scenes easier though, still saves a lot of time and effort. Thanks for the mod.

 

[meltyquestfan]

this mod is a must with every renpy game.

When playing the recent update to Pale Carnations, Ren'Py started throwing an error whenever I try to Alt+M to the URM controls. It doesn't matter when or where I am in the the game's progress, the error occurs whenever I press Alt+M now.

This seems to be the only VN affected by this. I've tried reinstalling the VN, tried both the compressed and non-compressed, and tried a new copy of URM 1.15.2 from this thread. None of that worked

• Are you using the latest version of URM?
  • Yes. v1.15.2
• Which game has the issue (preferable a link to the game's thread)
  • Pale Carnations CH4 Update 3
• If it's a crash (grey screen) attach the "traceback.txt" file
  • Attached
• What did you do that caused the issue?
  • I changed a minor condition (HanaGF) from True to False and set a few variables to be remembered. After which, I get an error whenever I press Alt+M no matter where it is in the game, even in older saves from before I changed that variable.
• Attach a screenshot of the issue (if possible)
• When URM gave an error (nota grey crash screen), check the log.txt file for lines starting with "0x52:"
  • It says "Mod loaded from archive" (I've attached the log)
• What OS are you on?
  • Windows 10
• Do you have any other mods installed? Does the issue still exist without the other mod(s)?
  • No other mods

Hello dev,
I wanted to ask about save/load slots.
Is it possible to make more slots per page.

This could happen with a slower PC. But it will be improved further in the future
