Was thinking the same, thanks!
you maybe can try older versions of urm


but im sure its the wt mod - because they change game files
thats why im only using urm - its not changing game files /scripts

I just removed the wt mod and now its fine, funny that wt mod was working fine with previous update.
EDIT: after all it was the incest patch that was causing the problem! now is working with wt mod!

Any chance you can test to see if URM works with Evergreen Valley? https://f95zone.to/threads/evergreen-valley-v0-4-blackphoenixst.142559/post-10174329 I am always having some sort of problem with URM. One problem is if I install a game to like here: "E:\003 Adult Games\Game Folder Containing Spaces", I can't unpack anything unless I both a.) rename it to not include spaces like abc and b.) I think I also have to move it to "E:\" instead of "E:\003 Adult Games\" This has happened to me dozens of times. Another problem is that I always rename the URM to (universal renpy mod Alt M).rpa and I put it in the /game folder but if it's an outdated version and I update the version from inside the game it seems to break everything and then it's nonstop error messages anytime I try to example: rename a character. But even though Evergreen Valley broke like that, I deleted the entire game folder, entire Roaming > Renpy > game folder and did a fresh install and it's still not working. So maybe in this game it's just the game not wanting to work with URM? I can see that happening, but was wondering if someone who knows what they are doing can test it to see if it works in case I am wrong.

You keep bringing up the "folder name contains spaces" bug, which I already replied to last time -- there's no such bug! And you don't need to "unpack" anything for URM to work. And why do you keep renaming URM itself? Let's break it down...

Here's what I've just tested: I've just installed the current version of Evergreen Valley to E:\003 Adult Games\Game Folder Containing Spaces\EvergreenValley-0.4-pc, put version 1.14 of URM into the "game" subfolder -- and voila! URM works perfectly fine!

So: no issues with spaces in the folder name, no issues with URM itself. Let's also try your "rename URM" to (universal renpy mod Alt M).rpa thing... And guess what: URM still works, and renaming characters does not produce any errors.

So again: no issues with URM, no issues with spaces in folder names, no issues with a renamed URM file.

You know what broke your game? The Walkthrough Mod you linked to instead of the game! If I install the WT mod and then try to use URM, it kinda works, but if I try to rename characters I also get an error. Blame the author of the WT mod, and not 0x52 or URM ;)


Pro tip (not just for you, but to everybody using URM):
  • Always test the original, unmodified version of a game with the latest, unmodified version of URM first
    (aka "the intended way on how to use URM").
  • If you want to modify the game (like unpacking it, adding different mods etc.) -- do it one step at a time, and see if URM still works. That way you know exactly what is breaking your game, because it might not be URM!

I don't appreciate the lecture or the attitude. But thank you for testing it out and figuring out that it was the WT Mod. I'll look into it later. That gives me hope. I actually got confused with URM and Unren. Unren is the one I have problems with unpacking and changing settings unless I rename the folder to not contain spaces and move the folder to the parent drive directory. Calm down and stop going off on people. It's ugly and unappreciated.

I always try to be as helpful as I can. But if you keep asking the same questions again, and obviously don't read the replies, which had all your questions answered, this get annoying as well, and that's when my posts will get a different attitude. That's why I gave you some hopefully useful advice on how to proper troubleshoot if you do have any issues with games in the future.

That's just my 2 cent. Whether you appreciate it or not, whether you're offended or not.

Cheers mate, have a good one!

Hopefully someone can help me here:

This is from the game A Wife and Mother. I changed the variable to True, saved the game, but everytime I reload the save its changed back to False.

Am I doing something wrong?

if you changed this var , play a bit further and save the game
see if it changed again - sometimes if you change and save at this exact point it changes back (or if you rollback)

I'm having a little problem with URM now, the watch panel does not show up at all in any of the game since yesterday.

I'm not sure what happened and the little icon on the left just no longer shows up! Do we have a keyboard shortcut to have it back or something?

I could unren this and check possible issues but I'm lazy these days haha!

Thanks!

Start any game where you have URM installed, press ALT-M to bring up the URM window, select "Options" and check if you have globally disabled your Notifications and/or your Watch panel.

Thanks mate! It's back!!

I figured that I must have done something while I was hitting some keys while working on a document at the same time without me noticing that the game window was actually activated. So silly of me!

Would it be possible for the game to stop skipping when the tool detects a path? I do it manually by looking at the top right of my screen waiting for the pop-up to appear while i'm holding CTRL lmao, so I wonder if that's even possible.

Hi,
Just to add to my understanding and assuage my frustration about. :confused:
Because Wicked Paradise :alien:is so far the only game I know where the URM doesn't work at all. Or if it works how can I do it?


obs: if this has already been answered or oriented in another game with a similar result here in the forum, I really don't know..:unsure:

as far as i remember it worked for me (despite the fact this game is a bugfeast ...)
but it was a long time ago
any hints why is it not working or what not working?
