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

[wsg123]

What game are you talking about? Does the game support loading third-party *.rpa archives at all? Have you tried to load the original URM with that game?

I mean,
I unpacked the original URM(use UnRen-forall_v9.4.bat) to facilitate the translation of some GUI interfaces for URM.
I placed the translated URM (in the form of a folder) into the game folder of the Renpy game, and it works.
However, when I followed the tutorial of the rpatool tool to package the translated URM (folder) into an independent .rpa file,
After repackaging the standalone .rpa file and placing it in the game folder, it doesn't work and an error occurs.
I would like to know if there was an error in my packaging process or if there are other reasons.
I just want to repackage the translated URM into a separate .rpa file.
Regarding the question you raised,
1. I have tried many games,
2.game fully supports loading third-party *.rpa archives
3. I tried to load the original URM, and it worked

Then I don't know the answer to your question, sorry.

The reason I've been asking if the game you're testing it with supports loading third-party *.rpa archive is the recent discussions we had about games from Incenton: they don't allow loading third-party archives or scripts, and only after using a patch for the game they will load uncompiled Ren'Py scripts, but still no *.rpa archives. So I just wanted to make sure you're not testing your translated version with those games ;-)

And finally: how about you provide your translation to 0x52, and he then includes it into his version of URM if he wants to, so that there's only one URM out there and not multiple ones? Maybe we can start doing additional translations as a community as well...?!

• Added option to ignore variables in path detection and/or codeview (available after remembering a variable)

that was just what I wanted thx a lot for great work!

the .urm are encrypted now?

No...!?

idk what i am missing

Ah, sorry, you're talking about the *.urm files, my bad (I shouldn't respond to posts right after I woke up ). But looking at your screenshots, they're just compressed (files starting with "PK..." are usually ZIP archives). Just add ".zip" to the file and you can unpack it, or, if you're using the right tools, you can just change the content of the files within the ZIP archive.

So either rename "Aff Trust.urm" to "Aff Trust.urm.zip" and unpack it, or tell your archive tool to handle *.urm files as well ;-)

Works fine on my side. Do you maybe have a save right before the issue occurs for you?

Sorry! I ended up just plowing through without URM. When the next update lands I'll get you a save file.

But unfortunately I've run into another issue.

But unfortunately I've run into another issue.
Which game has the issue (preferable a link to the game's thread)- Shattered (I don't think it's on F95)

Are you talking about this game? I don't want to download 30+ GB to test it just to figure out you're talking about a different game

One question though: After you configured your custom textbox with URM, have you also enabled it?

​

EDIT: If we're indeed talking about the above mentioned game (I just downloaded 30 GB to just test this), custom textboxes are working perfectly fine -- if they're enabled ;-)

Thanks for testing this out! But, I am sorry to tell ya, that's not the game I'm talking about. The Shattered I'm talking about is about 200MB and is just getting started. (I think this is a game that F95 doesn't approve of... fwiw)

But thank you again for trying to help, I'm sorry that I caused you to go through all that hassle!

Dang it!

Is there any way you can send me a link (via DM), so I can test the game you are talking about, and see if I can figure out the issue?

I know the game you mean, and just took a look. It has completely and heavily customized dialogue delivery code (example below), so I am completely unsurprised that URM's textbox doesn't override it. That said, the game does have a built-in opacity slider, at least, and if you post about it at the place it is posted by the dev, you may be able to ask for other textbox features to be added (since they clearly enjoy tinkering with the code more than most RenPy devs).

    define dlg_dinner_burger = [
        (None, ""),                 
        
        (Rachel_mind, "I'm having a deja vu..."),
        (Rachel_mind, "...Don't know what to expect..."),
        (Rachel_mind, "..."),
        (Lily, "I'm so hungry dad!"),
        (Lily, "What's up for dinner?"),
        
        (Chris, "Something you'll like, hopefully..."),
        (Chris, "There you are, girls!"),
        (Lily, "Yay!! Burgers!"),

Use URM on games by Inceton Games
(Lust Theory, Thot on Trial, probably more)

For people here that are trying to use URM on games by Inceton Games, but get an error. Please follow these steps:

1. Open the file renpy/script.py in a text editor
2. Look for the line def build_archive_rpyc(self, data, key): (it's at line 629 for me)
3. Add a new line below that line, starting with 8 spaces and then: if data[:5] == b'\x80\x02\x7d\x71\x01': return data
4. The result should look like this:
5. That's all. The mod should now load as expected

Thanks a whole bunch for this and all the work you put into URM. It is very much appreciated.
