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

Booty hunter 0.5.3, I can't seem to unlock the patreon exclusive outfits ...

I've just done a quick test, and I think you can't get those outfits with just URM: I searched for "patreon" (well, might be too obvious ) and changed all the Patreon exclusive "outfit" variables to "True". Then I tried to equip an outfit and received an "file not found" error, so my guess would be that the game (as it's available on F95) lacks some additional data file you'll need to get access to those outfits. If the game is able to download this data file by itself once you've successfully authorized with Patreon, or if you have to download it manually from Patreon yourself, I don't know.

I haven't looked at the code itself, but my guess would be you can only access those outfits with an actual active Patreon subscription.

I tried the same so my guess is as good as yours, I also modified the persistent of patreon version to 1 but nothing changed.
Edit. Looking at his patreon there seems to be no special patreon version so it might be a lock on the data or something like that if you are not logged.

Thanks. I added it in the URM files list

 

[Artiour]

thank you sir, this is definitely a leap in ren'py modding, can't wait to test it

• Are you using the latest version of URM?
  Yes, version 2.0.3
• Which game has the issue (preferable a link to the game's thread)
  I was playing Alternate Existence S1 V1.9.1 when I found this in the AONvve log file.
  

  Mar 09 12:27:00 [ERROR ] [game/s1e4.rpy:1361] _AValue.update - __slots__ - 'KeyError: '__slots__'
  [...]/game/0x52-URM/framework/modules/10theme.rpy:185
  return self._m1_10theme__colors[key]
  [...]/game/AON-packages/AONvve3.py:1485

  After unpacking the RPA file, modifying ./0x52-URM/framework/modules/10theme.rpy and adding '__slots__': 'background', to self._m1_10theme__themeMappings, and running it with source, the entry no longer showed in the AONvve log file.
  I tried the same in Grandma's House (without the edit), but this time there was no such entry. And since it didn't happen in Grandma's House, I'm thinking it may be game-related.
• If it's a crash (grey screen) attach the "traceback.txt" file
  no crash
• What did you do that caused the issue?
  Nothing, it gets logged by AONvve when I start the game.
• Attach a screenshot of the issue (if possible)
  No visual indication of an error, just the entry in AONvve's log file.
• 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?
  Windows 10
• Do you have any other mods installed? Does the issue still exist without the other mod(s)?
  Yes, I have both AONvve and Universal Choice Descriptor installed. Since I only learned about the error through AONvve, without it installed there's no indication it happened.

 

[FaceCrap]

I almost forgot, in the same game as my previous post, there's a dict variable mc_choices.
AONvve lists the values for each item, but URM shows them as Unknown apart from one.
And that one only because the key is also text.

 

[Daiqvist]

That's using an unsupported Ren'Py version.

I made it work for Max in the big city just as a personal curiosity challenge (I moved away the "Renpy" and "Lib" folders of the game, copy/pasted the same "Renpy" and "Lib" folders from a game with a newer Ren'py version and put the game's original "Renpy/Common" folder inside the pasted one).

URM 2.0.3 works fine BUT.. the game is coded in a VERY peculiar way (lots and lots of triggers with constantly changing values) and is a nighmare to keep tracks of the rolling changes.

(Be aware that this method may not adapt to other games)

So from what I understand there's no issue with URM? AONvve tries to do something to URM's theming engine that fails.

I'll look into it

Not exactly, if it was AONvve that did it, it would have also happened in other games I tried this combo in.
I'm sooner suspecting Alternate Existence as the culprit, because I had a whale of a time getting URM 1.15.2 to work and stay active.
It's a shame the log only showed that one line, and not a proper stack trace, so I can't really track down where it originates.

The 1.15.2 version would like disappear just from trying to rollback after loading a save. It needed a few cycles forward to be able to do a safe rollback and check what led up to the savepoint.
Only the 2.0.3 version stuck. Was still not using it for every game, but since it now also supports Esc to close an open UI, I'll be using more and more.

Thanks! ❤

I play games on Android and I learned about this function about 3-5 months ago, thanks to urm I can play games without a mod, I hope we will see many more interesting things in the future

Do you have or added like variabel viewer on this cheat? Sorry if this is a repeating or dumb question

Do you have or added like variabel viewer on this cheat? Sorry if this is a repeating or dumb question

You can view variables in different ways using URM:

• Go to "Search" in the URM overlay and enable "Wildcard search", then search for "*" -- and URM will display all variables currently defined withing the game
  • You can then also "watch" important variables and get notified if they change
  • You can also "freeze" them to prevent changes
• Go to "Snapshots" in the URM overlay and click "Create". Then advance in your game, and at any time create another snapshot. You can then "compare" those snapshots and see what variables have been changed between snapshot 1 & 2

URM does not have something like "list all user defined variables", and this has been discussed earlier.

Hey 0x52, thanks for this new version! I really like some of those additions a lot, so thanks for your ongoing development of your mod!

• Configurable watchpanel contents + compact mode
• New watchpanel option to view last executed filename:line
• Configurable width for custom textboxes/dialogue

Those are my favorite new features: compact mode for the watch panel, being able to see what script file/line is currently being executed and the configurable width/height for custom textboxes!

I do have some additional requests though, and also one bug report if you don't mind:

• configurable width for text boxes: I've set it to 65% (so I can open the watch panel and still see all of the dialogue), but what I would love to see if the colored background of the "Namebox" as well as the "Text" would also be only 65% in width -- those are still using 100% of the width of the screen. Also a small area below the textbox without coloring would be nice, too. Something like this:
  
• An option to save a customized textbox as "global" would be nice, and activate this "global" textbox in different games. And once you change the layout in one game, all the games using the same "global" textbox will change as well.
• Quick menu: an option to disable/enable the "Quick menu" within games would be awesome
• ...and my final feature request for today: sorting search results *cough*

And here's a bug I've just encountered while I was testing your new URM version (I haven't actually played this game before, so I don't know if this "new" to 2.1 or if it always has been this way):

• In the game "The Seven Realms" (R3) URM doesn't seem to work at all. The log file says URM is loaded ("Init at 0x52-URM/classes/main.rpyc:173 took 0.39035 s."), but when I press "Import Game" --> "Continue without Realm 2 data", the game starts, but pressing ALT+M doesn't do anything. (Oh, and for the record: no other mods are being used, URM 2.1 is the only mod installed, no crashes or errors, therefore no screenshots, Windows 10)

Yeah, I should have made it possible to also change the background width. I tested everything with the gradient background and no background for the name. Because of that I didn't really see an issue with the 100% background width.
I did actually also change the background width at some point, but for the gradient background this is ugly IMO.

An option to save a customized textbox as "global" would be nice, and activate this "global" textbox in different games. And once you change the layout in one game, all the games using the same "global" textbox will change as well.

Those customizations are saved to an .urm file and you can load that into another game. I have to think about a way to transfer those customizations easier.

Quick menu: an option to disable/enable the "Quick menu" within games would be awesome

It's on the roadmap (as fully customizable quick menu)

...and my final feature request for today: sorting search results *cough*

Give me another 4 years

In the game "The Seven Realms" (R3) URM doesn't seem to work at all. The log file says URM is loaded ("Init at 0x52-URM/classes/main.rpyc:173 took 0.39035 s."), but when I press "Import Game" --> "Continue without Realm 2 data", the game starts, but pressing ALT+M doesn't do anything. (Oh, and for the record: no other mods are being used, URM 2.1 is the only mod installed, no crashes or errors, therefore no screenshots, Windows 10)

I will check this later. I assume you also didn't get the "URM is installed" screen?
Update:
After the import the game seems to start in an unexpected way. Because of that URM doesn't initialize. If you save the game and load it again URM will initialize.

This is simply amazing! After using it, all I can do is marvel in amazement!

However, I've noticed that some text has turned into squares during use. It doesn't display properly, and I'm not sure if this is because I'm a Chinese player. I'm playing the translated version. I don't know how to solve this problem. Should I add a font?

Something like this！
