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

[TheWalkingChinko]

If you use URM to play a Steam game such as [Because I Love Her], it prevents Steam achievements from unlocking. Tried playing on Steam with URM removed/uninstalled and the Steam achievements unlock as normal.
On the other hand, using other mods such as the Walkthrough mod by JokerLeader does not disable Steam achievements from unlocking.

That sounds like the dev not wanting people to cheat the game. And if they care enough they'll blacklist the walkthrough mod too.

Can you add an option for URM to display in 1920x1080 regardless of what the games config.screen_width and config.screen dictates?

 

[0x52]

is there a way to change the size view i installed it on a wife's phone but cant see or really edit any variables

Nope. URM is not able to scale to such a small screen.
I'm thinking on this, but I'm not sure about how to work around this

You could force the game to use 1920x1080, but that would probably f* up the game

The only viable work arounds are either to run in windowed mode and resize the window to that size, or set your monitor to use that display resolution. With high-res games (QHD and up) you'll probably also want to adjust the text scaling (Shift-A)

Oh, and 0x52? You can remove Between Humanity from the list of incompatible games. It now works perfectly together with URM.

Its really hacky, but what I'm going to do is just create a menu button that switches between resolutions and put auto-reload on. It does fuck up the geometry, until you return to the old resolution, and a grey untextured checkered background remains. Since the goal is primarily to view the choices code, maybe a new submenu/tab in the alt+m menu for choices would work. Would be a pretty cool feature that could expand into a walkthrough file, by creating a tree of your choice path.

Can I use this to make a game with no skip transition have it? Specifically Lust Theory Season 2.

Yes. Search for the variable "transitions" and set "preferences.transitions" to 0 to disable transitions.

URM 2.4: Progressbar

Hi all,

I know it's been a while since last update. "Real life" took priority, but I hope you appreciate this update.
In 2.4 I've added a progressbar that can indicate how much of the game's content has been seen (all playthroughs combined).

Full changelog:

• Added a progressbar that indicates how much of the content has been seen (all playthroughs combined)
  • A draggable progressbar can be enabled under the "Miscellaneous" options
  • It can be added to the watchpanel under the "Watchpanel" options
• Fix: Prevent crash when game devs broke Ren'Py by assigning something to the variable "Character"

 

[MAGO-DAG]

Added a progressbar

Just saw and tried it, finally you came up with such an idea. looks promising!

 

[FaceCrap]

I thought I had found a way to make URM work with Sunshine Love _if_ you also use the ipatches, I could get it as far as not throwing an exception, alas it also caused the ipatches to stop doing what they were supposed to do.

 

[jasad]

thank you

 

[taler]

No result, am i doing something wrong

 

[MiltonPowers]

thank you

I don't think you can use "." when searching. Use just 'transitions' or 'preferences'.

Oh I'm too dumb to follow instructions, thanks.

I always use wild card. Simple basic rule of thumb always toggle on wildcard. And learn how to use wildcards. Literally 99% of my variable/scene search is with wild card heavily suggest if you're having trouble getting hits.

Does the ingame urm update not work or has it broken between 2.1.4 and now? I only ever used URM for one game and just clicked past the failed update every time.

Not that I know of.
Do you experience this with multiple games? If so, what it the behavior you're seeing. After the update has failed, can you close the game and check the log.txt file if there are any lines starting with "0x52"?

I only use it with one game, Lessons in Love. If it matters this is a download of their 0.42 update that I have patched 0.43 into, but I recall this happening before on the old update where that one was from like 0.36 onward.

There is a error, seems pretty "shit's broke" vague though.

0x52: Failed to process variable changes. get_changes() missing 1 required positional argument: 'previous'

I'll paste the full log but it's pretty bare on details. The log that happened from before this test where I actually played for a bit just spammed that same error a ton. This time I just opened the game, tried to update, tried to apply update, after thing came back the update screen appeared again, closed it and then closed the game.

Yo thanks for the mod! You think we could get an update with a choice screen feature, or is that too much? Like, showing the points for each option on screen, kinda like the Universal Choice Descriptor
