Mod Ren'Py Universal Ren'Py Mod / URM [2.6.2] (mod any Ren'Py game yourself)

[Bingoogus]

This took a lot of digging, but I found the issue with A House in the Rift.

The game is calling Function() 20 times a second... yes!! 20 times a second!
Every time this is called Ren'Py rebuilds te whole screen. So when URM is showing a lot it all gets rebuild a lot, which slows things down.

ZanithOne, your game can be made a lot more efficient by changing the line in misc_utils from:
timer 0.05 action Function(periodic_callback) repeat True
to:
timer 0.05 action Function(periodic_callback, _update_screens=False) repeat True
(I didn't take a deep dive into it, but the screenupdate seems unnecessary)

Fascinating... so it can be assumed that is most likely what is going on in other games? I can't imagine many game devs think to add that update screen component if they're new to adding that function call, only thing to ponder than is why a dev would want to add that in the first place? It's not common for games to lag with URM open, so i can't see it as common to use that function call, so it must serve some niche purpose, even a clueless dev needs to have some impetus to add it in the first place... no one just wakes up and adds random shit to their code for no reason...

at this game , the urm watchpanel disappears everytime you watch a replay from here



the little watchpanel button stays at the replays , but disappears after the replay is done

and the worst part - you cant activate urm again after this
alt-m dont works
you have to delete the persistent file and start a new game to get urm working again
or rollback the whole replay until before you start to play it

urm v 2.6.1
win 10 x64

there is a workaround , but ..
enabling the urm quickmenu to have the urm button

Oh

Thank you for the info! Added this timer thingie ages ago without thinking much about it and never noticed any effects. Will check if the change breaks anything for whatever reason, and if not, yay, free performance. Cheers!

I haven't had this before. I can't get URM to open at all on a new game.

Pharaoh's Veil

I'm using the latest version (2.6.1) and no other mods at all.

It's like it doesn't exist at all.

Alt-M doesn't work.
A global quick menu I use doesn't show up.
Choices detected pop up doesn't come on either.

Damn, why didn't I think to try that. Had a brainfart. Thanks Brother.

I don't feel like searching this thread. But I'm pretty sure this was mentioned before and is caused by another mod

Hi 0x52 I recently stumbled across a bug I can't get solved by resetting urm default settings.
After playing through born2breed I noticed now while playing MurMur, that the default box sizings are somewhat out of order. In the attached screenshot you can see what I mean. While for the first two screenshots I does not bother me, the third screenshot which shows the panel for editing variable values is bigger than the screen and therefore limited in moving the panel / not adjustable. Can you give me a quick run-down on how to reset to previous behaviour (I deleted the settings file in appdata/renpy/0x52-URM, tested both on v2.60 and v2.61)

Edit: Some panels like in screenshot 4 are not affected by this

Spoiler: Screenshots

Will be fixed in the next release.

Some detail: The game defined a fixed height for vertical scrollbars and URM uses hidden scrollbars in some screens, because they're needed when displaying a huge amount of data in those screens. But the fixed height from the game stretched those URM screens.

What version of URM are you using -> 2.6.1

Which game has the issue https://f95zone.to/threads/thief-of-hearts-p2-ep-4-v0-0-4a-mrdots-games.214581/ Part 1

What did you do that caused the issue? -> simple search attempt

What OS are you on? -> Win10 x64

Do you have any other mods installed? -> No

the error occurs only when "show unsupported variables" is activated

Will be fixed in the next release

For some reason they created a custom replay mechanism instead of using the built-in one. After a replay ends they call a method to hide all screens (all layers actually).
I don't want to built something into URM to prevent this. A work around would be to save and reload the game when this happens.

save and reload the game is not the solution - sadly
rollback to before the replay or an earlier save works

but thanks for your time

(2 saves to test it)

 

[9537]

may i have a question how can i to change the font size of games,some game's font size it's too small.

and the other question how could i set QUICK KEY about to start and shot Quick menu's function.
the last thanks for this mod.

i like this mod but i don't understand it too much,

i like this mod but i don't understand it too much,

In the OP there is links to video tutorials of how some of the things work.

Including one for customizing your textbox.

I found a weird bug.
In Power Vacuum(main game - Ch. 12), you can't rollback after events with URM.
Of course, you can rollback (after events) without URM.

It works fine on the first run, but if you save once, then restart the game and load the save again, you will get this bug (only with URM)

 

[cpdp11]

i tested it
cant reproduce this "bug"

Start a new game, save, then exit and restart the game.
Load your save and play an event. After completing the event, try to roll back. (Mouse wheel)
does not work.

(This is a bug I got from someone else as well)

 

[cpdp11]

i did a new install with new game (i dont play it for myself)
i did as you told at the first post
what kind of event are you talking about?
upload a save?

Let me clarify: I don't play this game either (I was just testing it out at someone's request)
Start a new game and play(or skip) until you get this screen.



Save the game now, quit and restart. (Make sure URM loaded now)
Then click that face icon and play the scene.



After you come back here, try to rollback. (It should work if you don't have URM)
But if you have URM, rollback doesn't work here.
I tested it several times.

 

[cpdp11]

Here're also 3 saves,

1-1. I just started a new game and saved it.
1-2. Saved after playing an event with URM (you can't rollback with/without URM with this save)
1-3. Saved after playing an event(the same event) without URM (you can rollback without URM with this save but you can't with URM)

 

[cpdp11]

And I just noticed that the 1-3 save file size is larger than the other two.
(1-1, 1-2 saved with URM and only 1-3 saved without URM)

*The only difference between 1-2 and 1-3 save files is URM.

well

you need the uncensor patch for sandbox first ...
and idk why urm would block this
