it seems this happens regardless of having vars in watchpanel or not just having it active seems to trigger error (if i click the > to expand watchpanel or do search inside URM it gives error)

i think it sets a bad precedent that this mod tries to silently connect to your website, unprompted, every time any game executable is loaded with it. makes it feel like sketchy that there are embedded RPCs in there. i'm assuming it's just checking for updates, but i'd like that to not happen without consent. privacy matters!

Found what caused it... it's the one line for the preview used when customizing the textbox.

0x52 ? counter it by deducting 1 from the total in the progress tracker?

theMickey_ found this a few posts back.
Deducting 1 would not be the correct solution.

Thanks for the mod, I've been using this quite a lot on many games that either don't have walkthrough mods available and to change variables or see paths without having to replay a game x100 times.

--------

I'm not sure if this has been requested before or is even possible, but is there a way to have choices to show a tooltip when you mouseover a choice within a game?


Crappy paint job below but it illustrates slightly what I mean, obviously in a non-pretty way, but it showcases how you can just mouseover the choice and see the effects it has instead of:
- Click Choices detected
- Click Show Code x the amount of choices available
- Click Select Choice

View attachment 4279328

In regards to options it could have:
- Mouseover = Shows tooltip
- (Alternative) Press key + mouseover = Shows tooltip
- Tooltip at mouse location
- Tooltip at any of the corners (choice)
- Tooltip draggable anchor

Perhaps I'm just used to World of Warcraft or other games with tooltips showing, but it would definitely be a great addition in my opinion, not sure how others feel about it though.

I have plans on creating something for this

in most VN's Shift-A key combination usuable for font changing. but some smarty-pants-autors disable this menu and use beautiful font, which is sometimes semy-unreadeable for me.
can you include in next versions of 0x52 feature of font changeing to default font (second in colunm in most cases) and inverse text (high contrast) please?

Sorry. I'm not going to add some feature that's already in Ren'Py, but disabled by some devs. You should complain at those devs, because those accessibility feature are there for a reason and in my opinion should never be disabled.
Also, why would you not just use URM's custom textboxes? You can pick from multiple fonts.

and also is it possible to make it so that a block of long text that takes up one frame (4-5 lines) is divided into two frames (2-3 lines per block) - because after changing the font to the default font, the text floats below the bottom of the screen and becomes unreadable.

You can use URM's custom textboxes and set a height in which the text always fits

You're saying this crash happens when you search for anything at all, not something specific?

It checks for updates. You can disable this, and if you disable this "globally" it's disabled for all Ren'Py games on your device.
Regarding you privacy concerns. I take privacy very seriously, and it doesn't log anything that can be traced back to you, no IP address or anything. It only logs the mod version you're using and in which game.

Deducting 1 would not be the correct solution.

Why not? it's not part of the game's dialogue blocks, so why include it in the count?

Because people who did see this URM line will have seen one more than the total

 

[ramvivat]

(ahh! why i always forget about this moment?)
is there a way to make the window that shows path detection reminders movable, like other 0x52 windows with a header that you can use to move such windows?

the thing is that very often sandbox games display their status parameters in the top line (for example, money or time of day), and when the moment of choice detection happens, the clickable icons in the status become inaccessible, not to mention clicking on them, but even to view the information that is reported there.

thanks

error screen pops up anytime i have watchpanel open with imagebuttons on screen and anytime i have URM open and click into variable search window with imagebuttons on screen

That's from Nephilim (Link), it is very good, but it is nothing like A.O.A. LOL.

thank you very much mate i have been reading your pdf file with your list of games and it is very good thanks keep the good work!!

 

[Grumpy Gorilla]

Love this mod, just wanted to say thanks

"My Dorm" uses a clever technique to code its blinking animations (and probably some others too) and URM detects it as a branching path.
so we get the notification almost every other static render.
you might want to check it.

 

[dirkdigger]

Sorry for the stupid question, but what does this mean?
Exception: Could not find font '0x52-URM/framework/MaterialIconsOutlined-Regular.otf'.



So this is from the file code «font.py». But where should this font be? In the game folder? In windows system folder? Or is there a missing line of code somewhere?

Just thought of a feature suggestion, but not sure if even possible. Would it be feasible to add a way to search for the instances in the game where variables are set or modified?

This happens because of how they use Ren'Py's tooltip system. This will be addressed in a future version of URM, but has a low priority.

On the roadmap is an option to be able te ignore certain path detection. That would probably solve your issue

A little more detail would be helpful. Are you by any chance talking about Town of Magic? If you search this thread for that you could have found this post.

You mean find places in the code where a variable is modified? Not something I'm looking to implement. It would be pretty complicated to get this even close to reliable.

would a more expedient/personal solution for me be to edit game files in a way that base game no longer utilizes RenPy tooltip? i.e. i am assuming it's some kind of conflict where Game wants tooltips and URM wants tooltips at the same time so if i delete/comment out game tooltips URM can have priority access to tooltip system?

This mod is awesome, excellent work 0x52 ... I tip my hat to you

No. URM only shows it's own tooltips, but the game also tries to show URM's tooltips, but the game expects more than just text (also a position), which is uncommon and URM doens't provide. So the games crashes.

I've encountered similar issues using this mod with the same game. However, I figured it out - it's pretty safe to modify the variables only when you have the map opened, or areas where nothing is actively happening. On any other areas, the game is actively playing webm loops. Not sure why this would crash the mod though.

If I want to remove save desciption when I save the game, how do I look for it?


I tried via Gamesaves - Ask Name before saving, both local and global are off, but the game still asks me for a save name.

it worked by painstakingly excising every Tooltip (XXX), $ tt = GetTooltip(), and

from the code of screens.rpy i no longer get errors YAY! over 160 instances i had to manually edit or comment out lol

This setting only applies when you're saving through URM, not the game itself
