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

[skrusher]

Is it possible to ignore a condition so that the path detection doesn't pop up all the time?



He is an example. The condition "persistent.v_xray_enable" is all over the game. It would be great if we could ignore it so that the path detection just passes through it without popping up.

Right now I'm replaying the game with the "stop skipping on path detection" turn on to see if I've missed anything but since the game has many conditions that are not different paths, the detection pops up all the time and I have to check each one to see if it's a path or not.

This has been asked a couple of times in the past few days -- and has already been answered.

Hi

I love your mod its very useful.

However I do have one peeve. The update never works on Linux Ubuntu. You see it reloading but it never actually gets and set the new version. Not sure why. Some times you see a temp file in the game folder but no actual update.

Anyway keep up the great work!

Cheers

Thanks for the kind words.

Did you try updating from 2.0.2 to 2.0.3? Because 2.0.2 has a lot of self-update improvements.
When it fails from 2.0.2 or later to a new version, please close the game after the failed update and check the log.txt file. It should contain some lines starting with "0x52". (preferably send me the complete file)

Keep in mind that I'm writing this without having tested the new version so maybe some things changed.

I want to apologize bc I have been using this tool for some time now and I just noticed that I never thanked the dev or expressed my gratitude for it.
This tool is amazing it'll work with most games, is compatible with most mod...

There are some things I think it could get better on, like :

1- The variable change notifications (a rly useful thing bc I don't know why but some games change variables after you made your choice). They can get slightly annoying when your rollback bc they multiply but that's not what's annoying.
The thing is you have to suppress the notiff yourself manually. meaning if you have 8 notifs you have to click on each of them and ignore them. It'd be great if there was smt like, after two or 3 (maybe make it customizable if possible) lines delete all notifications ; or making them fade after a certain time idk lol.

2- When I use the remember thingy. It'd be great if it could remember the kind of variable lists.
Exemple : when I try to remember Mc.stats where there are str, dex, agi... it just remember mc.stats with nothing inside.

3- This one kinda originated from the 2nd bc I thought maybe doing that was too complicated. Whatever it could still be useful and a good replacement/complement for 2 :
It'd be great if we could create a list/folder where we'd organize stats bc sometimes, on big game it can get messy with all the remembered stats. Especially if you come back to the game after some time lol

4-Being able to Make exceptions on path notifications. Like in some games you can choose the gender of your character and receive a path notification every time, afraid it might be smt you miss you always check. It can get annoying. So maybe making smt like : for(chosen var) don't notify!
lol Idk what I'm talking abt
EDIT/ nvm I think smn alrdy asked

This has been asked a couple of times in the past few days -- and has already been answered.

Sry if I used poor vocabulary I don't code so I don't rly know what stands for what. I hope what I said was understandable lol

Again thank you for this amazing tool.

THX

Love the mod and it is one of my defaults to use with every VN / Game

in the past i used to often just open the .urm file with notepad++ and edit the json, for e.g. replacing formatting of a lot of stuff (like reoccuring activity text in *asterisks*) as almost a batch job, saved the .urm, reloaded it into game and saved it from withing the mod again to populate it to the Roaming/Renpy directory too.

It seems you encode the .urm files differently now and not just in plain text json anymore
so just out of interest: was there a specific reson for that?

They are not encoded, just packed in zip file container. You can open urm as zip file and edit json files inside without problem.

I think it will be complicated to get a solution for this that works for everybody. I'll think on this.

There's an item "variable groups" on the roadmap that should solve this.

Like dioregul said. The new files are just compressed, still containing JSON. You can just open them with 7zip for example.
This new format makes it easer for me to use and maintain.

You mean it's planned alrdy? What's the road map? lol

The roadmap lists future functionality. It's in the OP

Hi, yes I tried 2.0.2-> 2.0.3

It goes through all the actions, seems to download and "restart" but next time you start the game it is still 2.0.2.

Had the same issue with 1.x.x

It is no a huge issue as usually I just extract the new one in the game folder and done. Would be nice to save a little time with the update though.

Just wondered if it something linux specific.

I am a software developer actually but Java and c++ not python. I know a lot about linux.

Anyone else have trouble getting this to run on Take Over

You have to be more specific than "trouble".

Thx for the great update 0x52 !

I use that mod a lot for changing the text style like size or adding a missing outline for some games. What I would like is/are additional options in the general text/font settings, that would allow to specify the width or a left and right margin for the textbox.

 

[sipsipsap]

Dunno if this has been asked already, but would it be possible to implement the removal of any {w} Tag within text? I find it extremely annoying that I have to click multiple times to read a line and it actually gets confusing because my eyes jump back to the beginning every time I click my mouse.
That's what I am used to.

...additional options in the general text/font settings, that would allow to specify the width or a left and right margin for the textbox...

See this

...would it be possible to implement the removal of any {w} Tag within text?

Hm, if it's in the text itself, URM should be able to remove it already...?! Have you tried it, and it didn't work? Or do you have an example game which uses it a lot so I can test it?

 

[sipsipsap]

Edit: Problem is solved.

Hm, if it's in the text itself, URM should be able to remove it already...?! Have you tried it, and it didn't work? Or do you have an example game which uses it a lot so I can test it?

The point is to basically have an option that removes the tag automatically during runtime. I'm currently playing Deviant Anomalies and the only way how I was able to solve this is by editing the actual code files.

Did I miss a already existing feature that could do that?

Because manually editing text or variables isn't really the point because I'd have to do that for every game that uses this.
Now obviously it could break some games if URM does this but that's just user risk of using URM in the first place.

Did you try replacing {w} with something else?

URM currently doesn't support replacing with nothing, so I've entered a black space as replacement here.

 

[Danv]

any chance for some less contrasting/bright color themes? all currently available are really hard on the eyes, even old one wasn't that bad

Ah shit. Sorry. I never looked at that tab. So dumb of me. I thought it was a feature to just rename characters

Thanks a lot for the screenshot. I'm going to test this.
