Mod Ren'Py Universal Ren'Py Mod / URM [2.6.1] (mod any Ren'Py game yourself)

[unnammed]

Just want to say thanks for the work, been doing manual mods for my own need previously but this does really well for most of the things that usually bothers me.

Cheers

I can't hide the quick menu buttons at the bottom of the screen no matter what I do, and it does it to me on several renpy games. Am I missing a step, or are these the games that block this mod feature ?
If you have any solutions or explanations, I'd love to hear from you. Thank you for your time.

Tried using quick_menu = False in the console?

I have seen this happening in some unique cases, but couldn't find a fix. Seems to be something related to some specific Ren'Py versions in some specific cases.


When you modify a variable's value the new value will be saved in you gamesave, so you don't need URM afterward for that.


Light mode uses the game's own dialogue with some limited customization options. In this case you can choose to have URM override the game's font.
In full mode there's no default font, because it's URM's own dialogue, thus you cannot clear the font.


Seems like the "0x52_URM.rpa" got corrupted?!


You are using a very old version of URM.

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While loading the script.
Exception: Could not load from archive 0x52-URM/classes/API.rpyc.

It gives this error in many games, it would be good if it can be fixed in the future.

Could it be that your 0x52_URM.rpa file got corrupted somehow?

Thank you for your answer. After I put the file only in the game folder, the game does not open. As far as I understand, it will not work in any game made with Ren'Py 8.2.1.24030407 version. I sent you a message to ask if there is a solution for the future.

Do you have an example of a game where you experience this?

Impossible.

Impossible.

Too bad.. I wanted to learn how to mod/edit mainly the text dialogues and names of the characters in Unity games.. Can't get any idea how or where to start.. :'(

Unity games aren't editable like Ren'Py games, so there's nothing you can really do without some proper hacking AFAIK. Unless the game creator allowed for some sort of scripting on top of the engine, which is unlikely for this genre.

Can variables be temporarily changed in replays? I was watching old events and sometimes there's a path with one choice based on if a variable is true or false. But when I tried opening the URM window it asked me if I wanted to end the replay instead.

[edit] Found it in search apparently on todo list

What does fast skipping mean, is it like jumping from choice to choice? And by right click/long press do you mean we have to long press the right click ? lol

Right-click OR long press (the latter is for mobile I guess) on the "Skip" voice in the game's quick menu

I figured the right click, but didn't know abt the long press. I didn't even know there was a mobile version lol.

[Johan_0000]

URM will not look for code after a jump, if that's what you mean.

Oooooo that's why some games I played didn't show variable changes on choices.
Idk much abt coding or modding. But I'm kinda curious, why is that?
Is it bc it is too complicated to do? Or is that smt you're planning to add?

No. I cannot give you a timeline

Oh sry I think I didn't word myself correctly. Ik you don't have a "timeline". What I meant is more where'd you say they are situated on your priority list, or maybe you just go with how you feeling it?

Hello, can someone tell me how I can make the background in the text box transparent? I've tried many things but can't get it to work.

Go one youtube and search for this video "Universal Ren'Py Mod version 2.0 tour"
The video will run you through the features of URM. Within that they'll also showcase Textbox manipulation. It's SUPER useful. Once you create your ideal textbox you can save it then load it in other games as long as the saved file exists in your "game" folder

Does URM not work with Empress Game? I can't seem to find anything on this.

Here is the error I get. Any assistance would be much appreciated

Links to how-to videos are all in the OP.

Such a great mod I discovered this too late and cant live without this anymore.
I have only a tiny little problem.

when I press alt-m mod window opens. but when I press alt-m again, it doesnt close the window.
is this normal or is there something wrong with my settings?

I don't think ALT-M closes it (it never has for me). Use the red-x Top right, or ESC key.
