I am currently having a weird issue with line spacing in Motherless when using custom text boxes. If there's a line break in a dialogue, there's missing some space between the text lines where characters of the 2nd line are sort of mold into the characters above:

It's not just for game text, even your mod seems to be affected:

Is this something that could be tweaked in the settings or is it too specific to this particular VN? I'd not call it severe, but it's a bit confusing while reading. Well, at least to me.

I've remembered a list variable and set it to notify when it changes, but the notifications don't popup even when new things are added to the list. I have the latest version, so just wondering if this is a bug or if lists just aren't supported for change notifications?

Sorry. Lists aren't supported by monitoring and freezing. I will block the monitor/freeze option in a next update, but might actually support them in a more distant release.

I'll look into it.
Edit: Fixed in next release

The question has already been asked, but on some games, the variable is not displayed when a choice is made. As with this game: Law School

The question has not only been asked and answered several times, Law School specifically was the game about which it last came up, last page. (Answers in the following posts to the linked one.)

Are you using the latest version of URM?
2.2.1
Which game has the issue (preferable a link to the game's thread)
Mythic Manor [v0.21] [Jikei]
If it's a crash (grey screen) attach the "traceback.txt" file
N/A Game runs fine. It is just when opening the command console.
What did you do that caused the issue?
Open the console (shift+M) New error line shows when pressing "Enter"
Attach a screenshot of the issue (if possible)
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-10-10.0.19045
Ren'Py 8.2.0.24012702
Do you have any other mods installed? Does the issue still exist without the other mod(s)?
Fresh install. The AppData folder was deleted. No other Mods were used.

Note: Don't know if it helps.... But before deleting the game to reinstall, I ran UNREN on the game. The older version UnRen-forallv.8.8 couldn't decompile the .rpyc fully and gave a bunch of errors. The newer 9.4 version worked.

This is a known issue with that game. Will probably be fixed in a future version of URM.

Thanks. I expect this issue to cause variable freezing/monitoring to not work fully as expected.
I will look into this.

Does URM offer an instant Walktrough feature (meaning showing variable changes directly in the choice menu) - if yes, how do i activate it?

URM does not display the change of a variable within a choice text, but it does detect choices, and if a variable change is about to happen based on that choice, and it does happen within a reasonable (code) range of that choice, URM can display which variables will change if you click on "Show" in the "Code" column of URM's choice popup:

So it's not exactly the same as many walkthrough mods do, but it basically does the same -- and because URM doesn't change any of the original code of the game, it works with any version of the game unlike most walkthrough mods.

In addition to theMickey_'s answer. I do want to make an (optional) extended choices screen in URM in the future, that will automatically popup when choices are detected

Could you please add a feature to retrieve the name of the currently playing game music?

If you want to get the music title, I'm pretty sure that's (almost) impossible. URM might be able to tell you "The song you're hearing currently is called 'Background_music.ogg'" -- but that's about it. Unless the game developers decided to name the music file exactly the same as the original title of the song, there's probably no way to identify the name of music within Ren'Py games.

I've extracted a couple of Ren'Py games, and this is what music files usually look like:

Background_music.ogg
Background_music2_Brunno.ogg
Background_music3_Disclo_ultralounge.ogg
Sexy_music1_monks_topher.ogg
Sexy_music2_necking_topher.ogg
at_jodys_1.mp3
booty_calls_1.mp3
chillax.mp3
days_1.mp3
1.mp3
2.mp3
caffe_music.wav

...and so on. I've only seen a single game so far where the file names are the actual song titles:

Chris Zabriskie - Laserdisc.ogg
Scott Buckley - Nightfall.ogg
Small Colin - Setup With An E.ogg

Tried on SugarService but doesn't seem to work when i press alt+M

****My bad. I removed URM and download the new one and tried again. now it works. Noice!

Edit: - Nevermind - I just noticed that "Monitor" and "Watch" are 2 different options.

----

Heres an idea / feature request for URM.

If you are watching a variable, and the side panel closed
Would it be possible to provide a small popup/notification if one of the watched variables changes ?

Maybe even transparent, only displaying text, dissolving quickly (1-2 seconds maybe ? )

Like
"Watched Var x changed, new value y"

Or something, while making sure its not too long of a string / number and not an object.

AliceNeverD1es · Jun 21, 2024

This is very amazing! Good job! I can now skip all the difficult minigames and focus on the importance of erotics (*￣▽￣)b

FrankKappel · Jun 26, 2024

But i found something that might be nice.
a shortcut button to set a value to a predefined one (without using freeze, as that may sometimes kill the game if used at the wrong time)

Like i have d1, and i'd like a button to set this var to value 5 at a button press, without freezing the var.

Cyrix72 · Jun 27, 2024

One more question about the text box and it's about Milfs of Sunville:
Having custom text boxes enabled, the ingame names are not displayed anymore:

After disabling, the names are fine:

It is plain season 1 from OP with just your mod added.

Is this something you could think of fixing?
