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

[TheWalkingChinko]

I've also forgotten to mention that I have also received a error log screen with the options "Rollback, ignore, etc" when I use the renaming function of the mod in the earlier parts of the game Fetish Locator. The error log screen does not pop up when I have reached the later stages of the game or if I am going through a re-run, provided that I have save files of the later parts of the game saved.

...New Earth (1.14-->1.15), Fetish Locator (1.14-->1.15) and Freeloading Family (1.13-->1.14), as far as I can remember.

I've just tested:

• New Earth, URM 1.14 / 1.14.1 --> 1.15.2 = self-update is working
• Fetish Locator, URM 1.14 / 1.14.1 --> 1.15.2 = self-update is working
• Freeloading Familiy, URM 1.13 / 1.13.1 / 1.13.2 / 1.13.2 / 1.13.4 --> 1.15.2 = self-update is working

There are two more things I can think of:

• Do you have those games installed in a somehow "access restricted" folder, like "Program Files", or directly on "C:\" or "D:\" or something like that? Only Administrators have write access to those folders usually, so any self-update will fail if you run the game as a regular user from those folders.
• Are you playing on Android with a game version that has URM already included? I've never tested this myself, but I'm pretty sure the self-update will fail in that case.

And if you're not playing on Android -- what platform do you actually play your games? Windows? Linux? MacOS?

thank you

...but you do know that you can bring up the main menu of URM by hitting Alt+M while in-game, right?

URM checks for all those things before trying to update. So that should result in a message before even trying to update

Hello, thank you for your time to help. This explanation can be called to subject. opposite of this can be called to object. also opposite can described like 'This means there'sa variable called "money" which has a parent named "wallet". but, thats not the my issue there. anyway, thank you for your time.

having trouble with latest My Pleasure, game crashes on start if mod is added, ignoring just leads to more errors

played it just now
no problems

played it just now
no problems
my guess - outdated WT mod

clean install, no other mods, no old persistence files, game works without URM no problem

check your script file

not exactly identical, but mostly minor things like outlines and colors, and again - it's unmodded scripts from freshly downloaded 0.35

aha! found it - disabling global "skip splashscreen" fixes the problem, looks like it kicks in before game have time to define those language variables so whole thing simply dies

Oh -- that makes sense! Because if you check the "splashscreen", once you click on "Yes" it jumps to the section where the game sets the variable "LanEng = True". There are also "hidden" spots on that splashscreen which you can click on to select either "LanBra = True" or "LanRus = True". So if you skip the splashscreen, those variables will never get set, hence the error! Good spot!

Quite an interesting choice of coding. From what I understand they set the language during the splashscreen using variables that have no default value and are non-persistent.
Because it has no default Danv encounters his error.
Because it's non-persistent you would have to select a language every time the game starts (if there's a language selection screen).
And it's a boolean, so theoretically you could set "LanEng = True", "LanBra = True" and "LanRus = True" at the same time

hi 0x52,
first of all thank you very much for this extraordinarily useful mod. I sometimes wonder how I ever got along without this one. I especially like that I can set my preferred textbox appearance with just a few clicks. the same mod allows to find and change variables comfortably. I can easily force a path. small program errors are quickly corrected by the integrated auto updater.
but i have one small request:

Sorting of "Remembered Variables" by Name was here discussed

Thank you for your kind words.

Sorting variables isn't possible yet, but it's on my todo list.

and is now implemented like this:



is it possible to implement the same mechanism for sorting the results here too?

It's already on 0x52's to-do list ;-)

[oRG4ZMo]

at least I finally managed to express my gratitude and send 5€ via paypal.
0x52:
I hope that you continue to have fun with the further development and maintaining of this mod.
outstanding work

Getting this error when trying to use URM on the game Sovereign.

Did a quick test, and I don't seem to have any issues -- URM works fine, searching/changing variables work etc.. Did you change your game in any other way except adding URM? What version of URM are you using? Did you extract the game's or URM's *.RPA files?

Did you change your game in any other way except adding URM? I did have transparet text box, but I removed it and still didnt work.

What version of URM are you using? 0x52_URM.rpa is the file, not sure if it is the latest version.

Did you extract the game's or URM's *.RPA files? No I didnt.

I will re-extract the game, and add URM to the new folder and see if it works.

This is the URM I am using


Edit:No, fresh folder just been extracted, same issue. I will download the URM from OP, see if that works.

Second edit: My version of URM was outdated, apologies, thank you for the help.

"outdated" is a great understatement -- you were using version 1.5.2 which was published in January 2022
