Hello the game House of Shinobi [v0.21_Tavern] [CutePercentage] have this error is now have easy way to fix this?
No, I couldn't find an easy fix. The reason seems to be that the game dev decided to encrypt their code and therefore only expects encrypted code, but URM is not encrypted the same way the game expects it to be.
  • I've tried to decrypt the original code and change the loader to only expect unencrypted code (and failed)
  • I've tried to tell the game to load encrypted as well as unencrypted code (and failed)
  • I've tried to encrypt URM the same way the game expects it (and failed)
Unless someone with more proficient skills than me in Python takes a look at it, this game won't work with URM

Again, can someone teach me how to recode the Alt-M hotkey to shift-M?
It is sort of a stupid question but I am trying to use 0x52 URM on an apple-silicon mac using wine.

But Alt-M is eaten by the Mac and produces µ not Alt-M

Alternatively, is there a label that one could jump to from inside the renpy console, that starts the 0x52 URM just like Alt-M?

Just unpack urm with rpatool or rpaexplorer and put the extracted files under game dir

I've just tested it (again), and you are on the right track, but this is only half of what you need to do to get URM working. You'll have to unpack URM and also decompile it! Then URM does indeed work! Thanks!

Can you explain how did you do it, please? I couldn't figure it.

EDIT: Okay, I finally did it after a couple hours-long effort. Thanks.

I fixed mine so it works with any uncompressed game, and I tweaked the URM screen and it's good now, check it out.

Have you read the first post (after OP) and made sure your error isn’t covered there?
If not, please post more info about your error (see OP).
Before asking my question, I checked to see if there was a solution.
I don't get any error messages or anything else because I can't access the interface (Alt+M) as I do for all other games.
I get the impression that the URM mod is blocked by the developer, as mentioned above.

question for the dev. is there a way to change font style and color using URM? been trying to figure out some of the features, but haven't stumbled across that yet.

Actually, I read that post. You explain why the mod doesn't work, but you don't give a solution!
The solution would be:
  • complain to the game's dev, that the mod doesn't load and ask them if they could change their code
  • decompile the game's code yourself, and find the spot where it's preventing other mods from loading, and change it
I've never played this game and most probably never will, so my enthusiasm to try to get this game working with URM (in my own spare-time) is kinda... very low ;-)

Of course, and he'll answer me, obviously!

I thought about it, but you have to know where to look!
Thanks for your answers.
