Hi, can anyone create a simple "Gallery Disable" mod for Renpy games?

There is a button to unlock the whole gallery in an instant and it's very tempting to do so when choices don't go according to how you'd like them. Then, you open gallery to see the scenes. It really spoils the experience in a choice driven game.

I want a mod that just disables the gallery, like you can't go the gallery section even when you click on it. Is it possible?
That would be game specific, not something I'm going to add to URM

Got it. Do you have any idea how to do it? Is the code gonna be complex?
Theoretically it's easy. When you find the button in the game's code you could just replace the action with None or just remove it and the button will not work anymore.

Any plans for allowing us to see what all is clickable on the screen and what function it calls?
Like an interactive map or sandbox games with UI buttons?

Ah yes. I forget about this one. I thought about this a long time ago. It would be nice to be able to see all visible and invisible buttons that are currently on screen, but it's quite complicated and I'm not sure (yet) how to create this efficiently.

Thanks for your input! That makes sense—if we can find the button in the game's code, replacing its action with None or removing it should disable the gallery.

I’m not a coder or developer, so I’m not sure how to do this myself. I’ve explained the full issue and why I want this mod in detail in this thread: Main Thread

If you have time, could you take a look and see if creating a simple mod for this is possible? If you're too busy, no worries—I really appreciate any guidance you can give. Thanks again!

Hey bro, just wanted to update you—I managed to create the Gallery Disable Mod myself with the help of ChatGPT! I’m not a coder or developer at all, so this is a huge win for me. You don't need to work on the mod I was asking for anymore.

I don't know what the heck I was doing but somehow I managed to pull it off.

The mod completely blocks access to the gallery and displays "Gallery is Disabled" instead. I also added a "Back to Menu" button so you don’t get stuck.

I’m attaching the mod here in case anyone else wants to use it. Big thanks to those who pointed me in the right direction—it was a wild ride, but I pulled it off!

Cheers!
