Mod Ren'Py Universal Ren'Py Mod / URM [2.5] (mod any Ren'Py game yourself)

[theMickey_]

In the "Deep Vault 69" renpy vn I wanted to replace the word "Ermund" with "Vault".

I tried this, and I also get a lot of errors.

In "Dawn of Malice" the word "landlady" is not replaced if trying to do so with this mod, I have tried both with and without the case insensitive checked.

That's an easy fix: "landlady" is not actually part of the the text, it's just a variable you'll have to change. I searched for "landlady" as value and found this:

​

Changing the value works as expected:

Can you check Hitomi's Sick Pleasure?

It deletes the URM file when I run the game. I can't extract it with unren either. Maybe there is some tamper protection...?

throws a phyton-lib error while extracting with unren for all , unren 1.0.10 does not work
non of the extracting methods work (unren ; depack12)
you may ask here for support first to extract

this game deletes every additional file put in the game folder

Interesting, I've never seen that behavior before. But here's a fix:

1) In file "bootstrap.py" change line 134

• from if item in ("archive.rpa", "script_version.txt"):
• to if item in ("archive.rpa", "script_version.txt", "0x52_URM.rpa"):

2) In file "loader.py" change line 422

• from if item not in ("archive.rpa", "script_version.txt"):
• to if item not in ("archive.rpa", "script_version.txt", "0x52_URM.rpa"):

And then enjoy the game with URM

That's really passive aggressive from a dev. wow!

After developing Ren'Py mods for almost a year now. I thought is was time to create the mod of all mods.
So here is what I call URM (or Universal Ren'Py Mod). The goal of this mod is to enable anyone (even without any programming knowledge) to be able to quickly and easily mod any Ren'Py game.
Just drop the mod file into your favorite game's "game" directory and start modding!

Please let me know what you think. I really appreciate any feedback, so I know I'm not doing this for nothing.
Or maybe consider supporting me

WARNING!
You could break your game modifying any variable. Use at your own risk!
Breaking the game depends on the game's programming. You could create set of values the game doesn't expect. Which for example could prevent you to progress in the game or miss certain scenes. I would recommend saving before modifying. So you could always go back if something unexpected happens.

Hallo 0x52, first of all - thanks for your awesome work with this Mod. I just wanted to inform you (and players of Sunshine Love) that enable the option "Skip splashscreen" in the game Sunshine Love results in an error, seems that game doing something different - other games work just fine with that option. So not sure if you can change anything or just disable that feature if a game does not support it ..

I've looked into this and it's caused by the i-patch.
It replaces Ren'Py's config.label_overrides with a custom object ("LabelOverridesSwitch")

Unfortunately I am yet again experiencing issues when using the rename feature of the urm mod.
In the "Deep Vault 69" renpy vn I wanted to replace the word "Ermund" with "Vault". Doing that results in an endless number of error windows shown!

I tried this and got the error as described here in the F.A.Q.:

Recently I have also on multiple occations searched for something without getting a result that should have generated one. For example seeing a variable on a choice and searching for that variable yields no results. Searching for an exact value that is displayed can also lead to no results being shown. I realize that coding things to be hidden by calls etc. can mess things up for mods like this one, but not having the things you want to modify displayed would make the use of the mod redundant, right? So I would think that this is a big issue! Fixing it or circumventing such features is beyond my own programming knowledge or capabilities, but perhaps it is possible to do somehow?

Are you on URM 1.14? If you are, I would love to have some specific examples to research this.

Roger that.
I try to use the latest version of the URM mod, 1.14 is the one I use right now.

See the images + words in the spoiler for a specific example of not being able to find a variable through a search:

I think I get the issue now. I've just added this to the F.A.Q.:

A dot in a variable name is not actually part of the name, it just separates the name from a property.

For example:
You have a variable showing wallet.money. This means there's a variable called "wallet" which has a property "money". If you want to to find this variable by it's name you have to search for "wallet" or "money" (you will never find a dot in a variable name)

I think I get the issue now. I've just added this to the F.A.Q....

Hi 0x52, I was about to write the same a few hours ago, but thought I might just test it with the game the user mentioned -- so I tried searching for penelope or relationship. And while I did find the variable penelope (which had various properties), I couldn't find the relationship property. Any idea why that would be the case?

Is it possible to merge Universal Gallery Unlocker with this mod? Looks like that mod interferes the loading script of this mod, causing errors and failing the game to load properly.

 

[Bzshr]

Ah that looks different from what I received. See below:

I thought this would be a simple fix as it indicated a Key Error, but I guess it may not always work with other games.

i am pretty sure its this part of the unlocker code

# Make all missing persistent variables to be True.
@Hook(renpy.game.Persistent, '__getattr__')
def hijack(func, self, name):
if name.startswith("_"):
return func(self, name)
else:
return True

the urm mod uses the same to load/store its settings

def __getattr__(self, attr):
if attr in URMSettingsClass.defaultValues:
return self.get(attr)

I might add something similar in a future version of URM, but I will not fix this issue.
The other mod seems to make undefined persistent variables return the value True instead of None, which of course can introduce all kinds of problems.

I'm sorry, but an exception occured while executing your Ren'Py

any ideas? I might be too stupid to understand version naming is 6.10.2e older than the 6.99 it says is required for URM?

1. URM used to work well with Pale Carnations, for which I still have a .urm file. But at some point in the course of URM being updated, URM started crashing the game.
2. I tried reverting to older versions of URM, but I couldn't find them, either here or on 0x52.dev.
3. At any rate, thank you for the great tool.

Issue Report Information:

• Are you using the latest version of URM?

v1.14, the latest one.

• Which game has the issue (preferably a link to the game's thread)

Pale Carnations [Ch. 4 Update 2 Public]

• What did you do that caused the issue?

With 0x52_URM.rpa in the /game folder, the game does launch, but whenever I try to load a save or start a new game, I get a grey screen.

• Attach a screenshot of the issue (if possible)

Just a usual grey screen.
