Mod Ren'Py Universal Ren'Py Mod / URM [2.4.2] (mod any Ren'Py game yourself)

[MyGirlsNowYoink]

I am confused with your reply. I thought urm had gallery unlocker. But in DMD (DATING MY DAUGHTER) 1st chapter I could not find the rewards(the photos). But using universal gallery unlocker it unlocked them but there was an error (when using both urm and ugu) so I had to refrain from using it. That is the reason of my query. I can watch or jump to scenes but could not unlock the rewards (named gallery).

what is this universal gallery unlocker you talk of? I need one too, link please.


edit: Is this what you're talking about? https://f95zone.to/threads/universal-gallery-unlocker-2023-10-30-zlzk.136812/

Please keep this thread URM related -- out of respect to the developer of this mod.

There're also rules on F95 which are to keep threads on topic and to not discuss/advertise other games/mods in a game/mod specific thread.

Thanks.

Is it possible to use this mods in seeds of chaos to manipulate rng or to cheat in player stats please ?

For game-specific answers, I'm going to recommend checking the game's replies, or asking there.

As a general answer: Yes, it's possible. I've done it. Use the 'value search' to search when you're in combat. (Keep in mind that you're trying to take the chaos out of the Seeds of Chaos. )

Nope, I was not mistaken... I also was surprised at first to see curly braces instead of square brackets in the code when my replacement didn't work.
They DO work as variables though, but their effect is that the value they derive to is also formatted differently from the rest of the dialogue.
In this case, every time certain characters are mentioned in a dialogue line, the name is shown in the color assigned to that character's name.
They are what renpy calls config.self_closing_custom_text_tags

In this game it's used like the below snippet.

    def cc_tag2(tag, argument):
        char = renpy.eval_who(tag) # Note the use of tag instead of argument
        col = char.who_args['color']
        if persistent.name_colors:
            return [(renpy.TEXT_TAG, u"color={}".format(col)), (renpy.TEXT_TEXT, u"{}".format(char)), (renpy.TEXT_TAG, u"/color".format(col)),]
        return [(renpy.TEXT_TAG, u"color={}".format(persistent.set_txt_color)), (renpy.TEXT_TEXT, u"{}".format(char)), (renpy.TEXT_TAG, u"/color".format(persistent.set_txt_color)),]

    config.self_closing_custom_text_tags["ro"] = cc_tag2

If you check out the game, you'll see that whenever certain characters are referenced in dialogue, it's always done with curly braces, and not with square brackets.
See below extract.

You're also mistaken in what I wanted. I do NOT want to REPLACE the result of the variable. I want to SEE the actual variable itself in the list of 'Renaming' entries.
NOT what they evaluate to, so like in the below mockup.

The same would apply if a variable is used with square brackets. After all, if you revisit the same game months later, you will not remember if or which displayed entries have variables in either the original or the replacement entry.

PS. My apologies for the usage of all-caps words, I feel they better convey emphasis than just bold. They are not meant as shouting.

That's quite a nice approach.
I understand what you mean now. I'll create a fix for this

I don't know if it was but here: MiUnicaHija uses square resolution and the urm menu does not fit the screen.

I must admit I've not looked at this game so don't know its game folder structure. But on the off change it comes with the actual .rpy files and not just .rpyc or .rpa files then you might try this.
Find gui.rpy and open it in a text editor, e.g. notepad, (do NOT use a word processor like M$ Word or Worsepad)
Find the line that says

init python:
    gui.init(????, ????)

Change what it now has as values into

    gui.init(1920, 1080)

This will probably give you ugly checkerboard edges on the left and right, maybe even at the top and bottom if the vertical resolution is even smaller than 1080.
If the vertical resolution is higher than 1080 (it don't look like it, but can't tell for sure from the screenshot), you'll have to find which horizontal res to use to get the 16:9 ratio
But at least you'll be able to see the full URM screens...

Thank you, so far I have visually selected the value (900, 576), it fits what is needed from the urm menu.
but I would like in the future a menu scroll bar or some kind of scaling to different resolutions

Damn, that's a low resolution...
I sympathize with your wish, but I would not hold my breath over it. I fear the occurrences of non-standard screen ratios is too rare a thing to warrant the effort for that.
But, I also am aware 'Stranger Things' happened. So who knows, we may get a popup in the future, warning us if the game's screen ratio is such that it might interfere with a correct displaying of URM's UI.

 

[FrankKappel]

Thats a dang nice mod.
Thanks for that.

Question:
Why is it only possible to freeze Class Objects, but not single variables without those objects ?

Like, its possible to freeze "player", but not "player.money" - why is that ?

Thanks.

Currently it's not possible to freeze class properties (in your example "money" is a property of "Player"), but it should be possible in a future version of the mod.

 

[Belzeebub$]

it should be possible in a future version of the mod.

Any news on progress of the updates/chance of future releases. Thanks in advance.

 

[FrankKappel]

possible in a future version

Are you open for assistance ? - like developing opensource on github or something, so others could help development of this eventually ?

Also, i'm currently using the mod in "Runaway Princess" - and the freezing does not work. - The values keep changing.

Hi!
Is there any URM version that is compatible with the game "the gift"(v0.25a)?_script v6,99,12, 2).
print the error below.

Thank you in advance.

 

[FrankKappel]

Any Ren'Py game using Ren'Py engine 6.99.14 or newer

Is there any URM version that is compatible with the game "the gift"(v0.25a)?_script v6,99,12, 2).

Well There is your answer, the renpy version of this game is too old.

I'm currently not open to working together on this, but thank you for the offer.

I already have a proof-of-concept for new variable freezing, but there are other things I have to take care of first.

See:

When you get the exception "0x52: Incompatible Ren'Py engine version" when starting a game it means that the Ren'Py version used by that game isn't supported by URM.
You could try upgrading the Ren'Py version as explained here.

Thanks for replying. My bad. You have every right to announce your news to your patrons only. Your hardwork must be paid. I as a freeloader am getting a mod that works for all games. I cannot (should not) ask for more. I was out of loop for a time-being and forgot about you having a patreon account. Best of luck for the next update. I got the impression because I could not read the post) that something BIIIIG is coming up, looking forward to it. Thanks again for your hardwork.(I know that mere gratitude is nothing but it is the only thing I can give you for now.)

Is it possible to check for the variables changed by loading a replay scene? In any replay scene, when I press alt+M, it asks whether I wanted to end the replay instead.

(partially) enabling URM during replay is on my todo list
