For some reason, the variable search stopped working for me, just out of nowhere.

I'm playing Projekt: Passion (Episode 1-7 to be specific). Up to Part 3 I had no issues at all, changed some stats and even unlocked one of the death scene, I accidently missed.
In Part 4, there was a branching path so again, I opened URM and search for the needed variables but now the search is always empty. Starngely, I can search for values and labels, only the variable search seem broken.

I tried to reset URM by deleting the rpa file from the games game folder and also deleted the URM folder in the .renpy folder (I'm on linux). However, when I copy the mod again into the game and start it, the settings seem to have persisted.


Question 1:
Is this a game-specific issue or die someone else experience this, not being able to search and alter variables even though it did work before?

Question 2:
How can we completely reset URMs cache/settings for a game (or as a whole)?

wtf, that did the trick. I don't remember changing this, probably happened by accident. Strangely, after it "broke" for me, I could have sworn that I checked and unchecked those 4 options to test if one of them was the issue. Can't really explain this, maybe I didn't get enough sleep, lol. Anyway, thanks a bunch. This helped me a lot.

Sorry, it looks like some of my message got missed (or deleted accidentally). When "wildcard" search is off, it treats any any search as if it had a wildcard * on both ends. E.g. It treats points as if it were *points*
I want to reiterate, this is better than before :)
ehm, it's always been like this as far as I can tell (at least since 1.3.0 when I started using URM).
That's why there's a Wildcard toggle button. So you can switch between having to add them yourself or have them implied.
Although personally I feel the states should be flipped, On: Automatic Wildcard vs Off: User needs to add them
But since the way it functions existed a long time already, that might confuse folks even more.

Incredible mod. Many thanks to you! I had an idea for a potential feature: you could have an option to ignore certain variables that are checked/called, so they wouldn't constantly pop up.

The reason is that sometimes in ren'py games, devs will put a path check in, like, "screen shake on/off" that pops up constantly. Because I check every time a potential 'path' pops up in the mod, games with a million checks are pretty annoying.

I don't know how feasible this is, but figured it couldn't hurt to suggest. Thanks again.

Edit: I just checked the most recent update... Ignore me.

Might want to mention what platform you're on and maybe give a screenshot example? I've got absolutely terrible vision, and URM is a fine size for me to read.
There is certain games where the text on the URM screen is really tiny (Race of Life is one I can think of). I keep meaning to have a look and see why if I can work out why it is, but I don't seem to ever get around to it.

& Forgot to mention. Urm icon not appearing on "project atmosphere" latest update. (One more reason to hate that game for me)

Hmm, for some reason mine were not searching like that before this latest version, and had to do wildcards if I wanted to have any sort of "contains" search. Either way, I'm happy it is working now.

you may have inadvertently had the "W" button pressed before?
If it is highlighted, then indeed you need to type them yourself ;)

Very possible. I'll have to see if other games have it set or not when I revisit them on their updates. Either way, I am happy to have an easier (and arguably faster, wildcard search seems a bit sluggish comparatively) "contains" search.

I'm using version 2.5 of URM that was uploaded on 2024-12-11 and I downloaded it from this very thread from links posted in official post.
I've been using URM with other buncha games and it has been working fine except I've faced 2 issues as mentioned below:

1) In HIM URM is not able to show any tooltip, although ALT+M is working. URM doesn't show any errors only issue is, it's no displaying tooltip at the top left and yes I've triple checked and the settings of it are same as they are in other games in which it is working absolutely fine. As it is not generating any error, there is no traceback file.

2) Also this below traceback file is from Shattered Minds. Game automatically open this traceback file and quit's itself.

THANKU for this amazing mod!

Keep growing!
Stay healthy!

You mean notifications for detected choices? This game uses custom choice screens instead of normal Ren'Py choices. Thus URM cannot detect those.

Works fine here. Do you maybe have any other mods installed?

Yes that tooltip that shows up when choices are displayed upon screen. Can I make it work by putting default renpy choice screens in it's gui folder or any other way you know?

...

I had ZLZK choice descriptor old version previously with it (I use ZLZK choice descriptor and URM together with every game and both work perfectly in other games) but I did remove ZLZK choice descriptor and do a fresh gameplay with URM but the error still exists. I'm thinking of downloading game again later.

You would have to rewrite all the choices in the game to have URM detect them :D

I was confused by your question, because tooltips are the text that shows when you hover a button. We call the choices detection you're talking about "notifications".
