It stopped working on this game, does anyone know what it could be?

They made some changes to the Ren'Py code to prevent is from loading (unknown) .rpa files. You could work around this by extracting the 0x52_URM.rpa file

https://f95zone.to/threads/my-bimbo-dream-s2-v2-0-1-mbd.165755/ v 1.03 compressed

game crash using the .rpa file when saving any edited stuff
game dont start when using urm extracted from rpa

Same as:
Interesting. For some reason the dev removed the config.save_directory. This results in the game not having an alternative saves location (%appdata%\RenPy on Windows), meaning, when you remove the game's dir, you saves will also be gone.
URM assumes every game has this location :unsure:

I'm not going to fix this in URM, sorry.

0x52 many thanks for your work in this mod.

Given these changes:

They made some changes to the Ren'Py code to prevent is from loading (unknown) .rpa files. You could work around this by extracting the 0x52_URM.rpa file
I tried to use an extracted version of your mod (meaning, i copied a folder called "0X52_URM" whose contents are the extracted files of your mod to the "game" folder of a game which doesn't load the .rpa version), but i'm getting the following exception:

The .rpyc file itself exists, but i'm guessing this "dumb" solution of using an extracted folder instead of the .rpa does not work.

Thanks in advance.

PS: Just for clarification, I didn't extract all the rpa's using urren in the game directory, i was just trying a "decompressed" version of your mod.

URM version: 2.6.2
Game: My Bimbo Dream [S2 v2.0.1] (Season 1; have not tried Season 2 and the Minigame)
Issue: Saving the URM settings by clicking on the save icon causes an immediate CTD
OS: Windows 11
Other mods: none

traceback.txt attached

Update: Seems like only Season 1 has this issue. The Minigame and Season 2 do not experience this issue.

I made a quick script for mass installing URM into all of my RenPy games, because what says lazy like spending more time writing a quick script than it would take to just manually update my URMs and add it to games I forgot to already, but that's life. Figured I'd share it in case anyone else wants to be lazy.

Place the latest `0x52_URM.rpa` unzipped beside the script and run it with `python install_urm.py` and it will recursively check all folders beside the script if it's a RenPy game, if it is it will place URM into the /game/ folder for you.

Has arguments to change how it acts, by default it prompts for every overwrite, you can use -f to force overwrite, and -s to skip all overwrites. It also has a max depth limit, just in case you've got your games in a weird place like C:/ that way it doesnt try to search every folder on your PC, the default is a depth of 5 and can be changed with -m #

Layout like this:
exampleLayout.png

Script is super simple and non minimized, so you can open it up and see exactly what it's doing, was going to pack it as an exe as well but figured that'd be rather sketchy to upload, but for anyone that wants to just doubleclick it you can compile it yourself with pyinstaller easily enough

hello everyone, I've been using this wonderful mod for a couple of years, I use it for every game and although the mod works for almost every game it seems not to work for some? I'm playing homelander and it doesn't matter what name that I type in full or abbreviated, or what word I type some games just don't allow the URM mod to show anything of significance, I'm trying to understand why the mod works with some games but not others? And Homelander is a ren'py game, if anyone could explain to me why some games work and some don't I'd be very appreciative. thank you

Like what choice gives affection to a character?

It doesn't. It couldn't. Devs do things way too differently.

Maybe someone makes a specific walkthrough mod for a game and adds those to the choice labels, but URM trying to do that for every game will often result in buggy behaviour in games which aren't just b tier KK slop. Not every game uses a affection mechanic, follows the same naming conventions for them, nor puts the affection modifiers in the same spot. I'm playing a game that adds false choices often, and often modifies affection / lust values mid scene. Those two mixing would result in random one option choices saying +1000000000 sometimes in the middle of an otherwise important scene.

I see please see this post. Im trying to do the URM in the game Profiler, no one made a mod for it but how did he get the +1? https://f95zone.to/threads/profiler-v0-3-5-divebar.207676/post-14690519.

I'm not sure, but I used URM to jump to this moment and it looks like they added more mods than just URM. This is what a default + URM install looks like at that moment. Note the black bars around the text and lack of choice in the top left corner.

If you wouldn't mind looking at The interactions with The sin Within that makes it crash when saving, but only in free roam mode? It's both regular save and Quicksave that brings up the fault.

I saw the last request being somewhat lackluster, so I hope I've got the info you need.

I'm guessing they're doing something fucky with ren'py, but I thought their "It's not my fault" was a little on the nose.

Try to launch it without urm. If it happens again, then the problem is with game. (Or with joiplay, if you are using it). If it doesn't, then I don't know(
