Hi. I ran into an uncaught exception when using this mod.

on this game
https://f95zone.to/threads/the-lewdest-house-v0-1-10-dmf.142759/
v0.1.10-pc

using v1.15.2 of universal renpy mod

start a new game. hit alt+m. go to rename screen and click on "rename a character" and it gives this uncaught exception

Code:

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While processing text tag {color= #3d5577 } in '{noalt}{color= #3d5577 }Lana{/color}{color=#ffffff} &{/color} {color= #f26491 }Lola{/color} (twins)'.:

it is saying

and... it is 6 digits long. it is a valid color:

is it maybe the space before and after?

actually... is this maybe something that would occur in base game too if I reach that point and not just a URM problem?

This is not related to URM. The code causing the error is not URM code.

Not sure if this is the proper forum for enhancement requests for this excellent mod so please excuse if it's not.
I would like to have an option to control the width of the textbox. Here's an example:
View attachment 2984044

The original textbox is fine except for the annoying background gradient. (The purple color behind the text.)

View attachment 2984046

The modified textbox is what I'm looking for but the text is too wide now to read easily and the text runs into the QUICK MENU on the right. I would like to be able to shorten the right left and right margins of the text so it would appear in three or four lines instead of two as it is now.

This is already on my todo list

Seems the game forcefully replaces the font. Could be that it's fixed by changing the font through the accessibility menu (press A and select a different font). If that doesn't help I would like to know which game you're trying

No, I want to change the menu language of the mod, but after changing it he has a problem, the second image is the language I want to change, that is, Chinese

This a wild guess, but could it be that the font which is used to show the text on these buttons, doesn't support your language?
Those blocks are typically displayed if the used font doesn't have the requested characters.

After developing Ren'Py mods for almost a year now. I thought is was time to create the mod of all mods.
So here is what I call URM (or Universal Ren'Py Mod). The goal of this mod is to enable anyone (even without any programming knowledge) to be able to quickly and easily mod any Ren'Py game.
Just drop the mod file into your favorite game's "game" directory and start modding!

Please let me know what you think. I really appreciate any feedback, so I know I'm not doing this for nothing.

WARNING!
You could break your game modifying any variable. Use at your own risk!
Breaking the game depends on the game's programming. You could create set of values the game doesn't expect. Which for example could prevent you to progress in the game or miss certain scenes. I would recommend saving before modifying. So you could always go back if something unexpected happens.

Hello 0x52,

Love the mod, been using it for quite some time.

I have a feature request that I am not sure is able to be done, but figured I would post about it.

Would it be possible to add a feature to the renaming section that allows for a filter of a specific speaker?
i.e. Character A and Character B both say "Hello John"
When modified in the renaming with a filter for Character A it could be changed to "Hello Babe" but Character B will still say "Hello John".

Otherwise, loving the Mod, I use it on damn near every VN that I play.

Keep up the great work!

Thank you for for kind words.
Character specific renaming/text replacement is already on my list for possible future features. (previous post about it)

hello
For me, URM is something of a "must have" and I use this tool in almost all games.

Today I wanted to take a quick look at this game:

https://f95zone.to/threads/between-humanity-v0-1-debatingpanda.177547/

I was very surprised that this game does not start when URM is installed.

Hopefully there is a fairly simple solution to be able to use URM after all.
thx

Unfortunately they've modified Ren'Py to prevent it from loading mods.
I've attached a special build that should work.
Small note for this build: I'm not planning on updating this when a new version of URM is released

k1bell · Oct 10, 2023

Hi again, seems like the game I previous sought help for had a new sort of sequel, Heads Will Roll - Reforged.
And there's problem with it and URM.
Pressing Enter while searching for variables in URM, trying to save remembered variables will give error and going into snapshots will produce similar error as the one I reported in the prior game.

It's all caused by the same thing as your previous report:

But... them using "list" will break other things like sorting and textbox customization. And possibly internal Ren'Py things.

There's nothing I can do... they broke Python (and therefore Ren'Py) doing this.

That is indeed unfortunate. I did proceed without the mod, and found that while not strictly necessary, the mod would have been great to have. There is at least one branching path as well as a number of choices which may or may not provide points for one character or another. It does seem like the developer has put a lot of effort into the code, including the phone aspect as well as customizing the text colour of the mc by hexidecimal colour coding. I am slightly curious if blocking mods is something deliberately done by the developer or simply an accidental occurence due to the coding... What is your take on it?

Seems like it was not on purpose. Probably the dev just wanted to prevent decompiling of the game.

Hello 0x52

Thank you very much for your quick help and correct assessment the compatibility problem.

After many users were upset that Between Humanity [v0.1] [DebatingPanda] was not compatible with URM, the developer released a fix. The developer will probably remove all changes that are intended to prevent the use of MODs.

I see.
Then another question, how do URM know which .urm file to load automatically? Is it saved in persistent?
I wanna see if I can get URM to load .urm from Downfall which I renamed to Reforged since the variables names are the same.

hsehsing · Oct 11, 2023

Any chance for adding support for dynamic hotkeys?
Being able to change time/day in a game with +/- will be very useful

Which .urm file was the latest loaded one is saved in the persistent file.
But from what I understand you want to transfer a file from one game to another? You can just copy the file from the games "game" folder to the other game and open it in URM.

parakep said:
This worked great for me, thank you!
I have a couple questions:
Why does a game tries to connect to the internet after installing this mod?
Can you please make connecting to the internet opt in?

It checks if there's an update available. You can disable this globally/for all games you load on your device through URM's options.

Sadly they broke python so much, clicking on open or save in URM just gives an error.

Is there any way to find the gallery code or in-game codes using urm?

There no universal way for it, because every game implements it differently
