Mod Ren'Py Universal Ren'Py Mod / URM [2.6.1] (mod any Ren'Py game yourself)

[cpt-jack]

I will add the option to change the font in a future release

Yeah. I think Windows never really identifies as a real touch device.

Yeah mean hiding the textbox/dialogue?
On the roadmap is a feature for adding your own custom quick menu to any game. I could make it possible to add a "hide" button using that method.

Yes I meant a "hide" button, seems like I missed half of the intended sentence there. Thanks a lot that would be an awesome feature since hiding the textbox on a touch device is a pain in the ass. After a bit of looking and trying I think it could be a good feature to make all the textbox options optional (like changing the font or the placement)

And thanks again for your awesome work and willingness to endure and answer all the endless questions

Can we activate the dev console command with this mod?
Shift + d, we can the shift + o.

Option #3 with Unren.

This has been requested a couple of times already. And will be improved in the future.


Could you share a save where the issue occurs for you?


I did some digging and the problem is that they broke their own game. At the start you can choose a play mode. They save this mode in a variable named "Play", which is a

that should not be used. URM just exposes their mistake.

There seems to be a way around it, because URM's theming engine exposes the issue. It looks like you have globally set a (non default) theme for URM. So if you clear the theme you've set from withing another game, Life in Alphaville should start fine.
But... this will not guarantee it won't still crash at some point. They still broke Ren'Py itself.

Thanks
That explains why the previous version without the theming support was working

sorry I should have thought of it, the tutorial takes a bit of time.
Here's one of my savegames.

I did some digging and it turns out the game breaks Python, that's why you're experiencing this issue.
They assigned something to the

"type".

Shift + d, we can the shift + o.

Option #3 with Unren.

Yes it can active the console. It's in URM's settings.

That just opens the console and not the developers menu.
"Shift + o" = console.
"Shift + d" = developers menu, this is the one I would like to see.

Unren option 3 unlocks both.

just noticed, in https://f95zone.to/threads/my-pleasure-v0-37-elite-tasty-pics.42223/ URM can't detect available choices in game, probably because the way dev inserting them as separate screens with textbuttons instead of usual "menu:" nesting... is it possible to do something for cases like this?

Has already been asked and answered.
Please consider using the Search function at the very top next time, thanks.

I don't think that's something I want to add. Some of those developer options can cause issues in production builds of game.
If needed I would rather mimic some of those features in URM itself.

It lets me see what the variables are.
As it stands now I use unren to see the variables then use this mod to do minor changes.

You mean like this?

Nope that does not show any of the ones that you see in unren.

Yes, it does. It's just ordered differently, and includes variables that won't show. That screenshot from theMickey_ only shows the top of the window, so it's only showing the first several variables of a MUCH larger list. You know it's a larger list because there are seven or more PAGES of variables that aren't shown in the screenshot but which URM found:


Like, seriously, you're literally asking for the MAIN feature of URM but more complicated and harder to use.

(Also, you're not seeing it in Unren, you just used Unren to enable the developer menu. Unren just unarchives and decompiles the files. URM usually works whether you've unrenned the game or not.)

I'm sorry it does not show what unren shows.
I looked at over 300 pages in the same game I had unren on that only had 2 pages of what I needed to put in the search for.
It did not show the "love" points that unren showed and so on.
Did not show how the money was listed only unren did.

Variables are variables. If the developer menu shows them, URM can show them. You may just not know how to do so. Give a specific game and variable example. For instance, from your screenshot, you were showing Highway to Hell and saying those variables aren't in URM. Here are the Highway to Hell love variables in URM:

Spoiler

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

And for this game in particular, you can do the same for the event flags by searching "Flag". This is a primary function of URM.

The specifics of the type and name of variable are up to the developer of each individual game, and there are a large number of different ways people set up variables. But as far as I am aware, it is an inherent impossibilty for a game-specific variable to show up in the developer menu and not in URM.

Also, again, you're not showing things "unren" did. Unren did not do that. All unren did was enable the built-in Ren'Py developer menu (and optionally unarchive/decompile the script files).

Your not getting the point I was trying to make.
You must know some of the variable to search for it.
Unren show "love" as part of it but this mod dose not show it in the 175 pages I looked through.
Unren 2 pages, this mod more than 175 pages to go through and I still did not see "love".
This is just an example.

ADD: Finally found it on page 173 using this mod.
Unren I have less than 2 pages to look through and this mod there is 175 pages.
So for me its faster to add both unren and this mod then use unren to see what I need then use this mod to change it.

Oh well if its not going to be added then there is no more need to discuss it.
Thank you for your time.

I'm playing Babysitters on my Android and the mod detects the choices correctly but i think it doesn't detect that I'm using a cell phone (I tried the mod on Joiplay and on the Android version of the game provided by the developer none works). The touchable that pop up as soon as i open the game doesn't show up and making an "U" on the screen doesn't work either, is there any other way for me to open the cheat/variables menu?

 

[theMickey_]

Oh well if its not going to be added then there is no more need to discuss it.

Just my final two cents about this:

• URM in fact shows all the variables that are in the game, while through the Developer Menu --> Show Variables you'll only see those defined by the developer. So I get why you like the developer menu more, because you have a shorter list of variables that might be important throughout the game without being spammed with tons of variables that aren't game related (but are still there). Let's make this a feature request then, shall we?
  • Hey 0x52, it would be great to filter search results so it only shows user/developer defined variables and hide all the "internal" (or whatever they're called) ones.
• The developer menu displays a sorted list of variables, which IMHO is always nicer to scroll through. URM does not yet sort the results, but being able to sort variables has been requested before and IIRC it's on the roadmap

I think URM doesn't need a developer menu if the only thing you want to do is list all available variables, because URM already does that. But the wildcard search of URM could be improved by some kind of sorting/filtering the results.

 

[cpt-jack]

Yeah. I think Windows never really identifies as a real touch device.

Short update from me. I just added the new URM to a new game and it recognised my touchscreen. Not sure why but I thought it could be helpful.

LOL. Sorting search results was supposed to be added in URM v2. Because of you comment I realize I didn't add it
(I did mark the task as completed though)

It's probably using a newer Ren'Py version with improved touchscreen detection. Good to know.

Thanks for the update on this bro. Love you.
