The crash happens every time I try to search for variables/labels, after that the rest of the mods functions work perfectly.

Ok, thanks for letting me know, I was able to reproduce it.

Here's a fix (based on the one from the FAQ, just in different files & places):

If you search existing *.RPY files for _getframe, you will find three files:
  • renpy\common\00action_data.rpy
  • renpy\common\00barvalues.rpy
  • renpy\common\00inputvalues.rpy
Open each of those files with a text editor and find the occurrence of _getframe and add a single line like follows:

00action_data.rpy:
1759158376738.png ​

00barvalues.rpy:
1759158421290.png ​

00inputvalues.rpy:
1759158479733.png ​

IMPORTANT: Make sure to only use SPACES in front of the "import sys" statement, otherwise it won't work!

Now searching for variables does work for me as well.

Be doing this they broke a function inside Ren'Py that URM needs.

I got this error when trying to run URM with Wife Trainer Files. It happens when I start a new game. If I start the game without URM, save, exit, add URM and load the saved game, it runs but URM is not loaded.

Code: 
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

Tried the fix in the quoted post, but in this game, renpy/common/00action_data.rpy does not contain any "def SetLocalVariable(name, value)". The line 157 that shows in the traceback.txt file reads:

Should I try and add "import sys" somewhere above or below the "def __init__(...)" block?

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.

Heh, good to know the warning worked.
I mean no ill will towards 0x52, his mod is great and I wish this bug didn't exist. But getting complaints thrown at me for a freak bug caused by a third party mod were a bit nonsensical, so I had to rub that warning over the screen for these guys to get it. It was funny to implement, though...

I hope it gets fixed, I want people to be able to mess around with my game if that's what they want to get out of it. But I have no clue what did I do to RenPy for my game to be the only one causing this issue with the mod afaik, there shouldn't be anything out of the ordinary for sandbox code standards.

I'm open to cooperate on this if 0x52 needs help, if it involves figuring something out of my codebase. Godspeed :coffee:

I don't know if this is related to URM or not because I'm a slightly code illiterate moron:
I get an error whenever accessing history menu in Elmwood university, found no mentions in official thread so thought I'd check here.

Is this like the import sys and _get frame discussed, or completely unrelated?

May be an FAQ problem:

How do I remap Alt-M to another key, perhaps Shift-M, on a Mac using WINE?

That sounds like your persistent file isn't saving. Did you modify your save token?

I also think it’s a persistent save issue. I saved the game normally and didn’t touch the save token.
Click to expand...
Been using URM for a long time but not familiar with that the persistent save file does. I'm having a problem with The Big Swap where the progress bar initially was at 95% and never progressed. I deleted the savegame folder and also the files copied to appdata/roaming/ren-py/the big swap (or whatever). Now the progress bar is at 0% and still not progressing.

It's weird that the game shipped with a 95% progress and even three savegame files. May have been packed from a play folder, not the author's distribution directly, or maybe the author packed it like that?

Anyway, what's the correct way to reset the progress bar and keep it functioning, assuming I reinstall the game and it's back to the point where the bar shows 95% progress? Thanks!

Persistent file is a renpy functionality, not URM. It holds data that persists between saves, like whether you've seen a message before. I'm assuming your install came with a persistent file of its own which doesn't match your save token so you can't save changes to it. Deleting the persistent file should make a blank one generate and then you can start with it.

You should google how to delete renpy persistent file. Each game works a bit differently and I don't want to download the game to double check that game's project name (Try making a new save in that game, then in the appdata renpy folder arrange by last modified or something)

Love this mod, install it on every renpy game I play as I am a developer and I just enjoy the debugger-like functionality. However, I have discovered on some games (for example, just tried it with Shadow over Blackmore) that rolling back soon after the game starts can sometimes cause URM to break.

Alt+M no longer opens the UI and URM no longer displays anything on screen. Anyone encountered this before and know how to fix it? I run Linux and run the games through their sh script. I find it especially odd that it only seems to occur sometimes with no error screen displayed and nothing in the standard log file.

I'm windows, but I had the same problem that every now and then ALT-M wouldn't work on certain games.

So I went into 'Options', then 'QuickMenu' and set up a global quickmenu with just a URM button in it (and an auto hide). I have it up the top in the middle so it doesn't affect anything, but it means I just have to move my mouse to the middle of the top and a shortcut to URM always pops up.

Is there a way to view the unreaded lines of text? Every time I turn on the tracker with F2, I see that many lines remain.

There's no guarantee of seeing every line in a renpy novel, dev can easily / accidentally make lines of dialogue that are impossible to reach. Occasionally URM can let you view choices that are normally impossible to reach via normal gameplay but it doesn't and probably can't catch every single instance of it ever.
