Great addition, thank you for your hard work

 

[SerialT.]

If anyone wants to know, this works great with Polyturnon [ZinkoPoly] and AlwaysFan [AtemX Games] under Renpy Launcher 8.3.7. Thanks Duke Knox.

 

[Ozzfest]

Wow! God sent tool. Can't belive is working so good. Thank you very much for this

 

[player two]

I don't frequently play RenPy but this mod could likely increase that play time.

Duke Knox - please consider adding your installation instructions as a "readme" comment section or docstring to the very top of the `__urw.rpy` file. It would help make sure it's self contained:

##    Download, then place the _urw.rpy file in your game's game\ folder.
##    Start or load your game.
##    Press Alt+W in-game to open the walkthrough preferences.

It may also be worthwhile to upload it as a project to GitLab, GitHub, or other open source repo so folks playing other Ren'Py from Itch.io, Steam, oppaiman.com, and others can find it. Doing so could help with improvements on the features most wanted, bug fix assists, and making you and contributors receive proper attribution.

Thanks for a very cool mod. Cheers.

I've been thinking about open-sourcing this project to get community feedback and contributions. The universal nature of this mod means it could benefit a lot of different Ren'Py games. I'll set up a GitHub repository soon and update the post with the link. Thanks for the feedback - it's users like you who help make these projects better!

And I'm glad to hear this might increase your Ren'Py playtime! That's exactly what I was hoping for.

To help me debug this, could you:

1. Open the `__urw.rpy` file in a text editor
2. Change the line from `debug = False` to `debug = True`
3. Run the game and try a few menu choices
4. Check the console output (Shift+O in most Ren'Py games) or look for any error messages
5. Send me the log.txt or any error messages you see

The debug mode will show me exactly what the mod is detecting (or not detecting) in Life Together's menu structure, which will help me improve compatibility.

Duke Knox - This would be also good to include in the `__urw.rpy` internal documentation. Like all great single drop-ins, having bug submission info as part of the really helps with the development<>feedback loop -- "look at the repo's pinned Issues URL on how to search for and submit issues."

Then when players say, "Iz gotz no ch33tz" or "duz mi gaem worx?", you can paste in a boilerplate URL with the howto and not waste your time on 'haz benz" if they don't put in the effort. XD

Test this updated version!

 

[Knox_]

not one, but two new mods are nearly ready to launch!

MultiChoice Picker Mod – Final Testing Complete

This tool gives players complete control over branching choices.

✅ -Pick multiple options in choice menus
✅- Explore all outcomes in one run
✅ -Tested and working on most Ren'Py games

Perfect for players, testers, and devs alike — no more endless replays to see everything.


Replay Creation Tool – Functionally Complete!

This one’s big: the Replay Creation Tool lets players create and replay custom scene recordings right inside any Ren'Py game.

-Save specific paths or scenes
-Replay your favorite moments on command
-Core features are done — just putting the final polish on the UI

It’s like your own instant replay system, tailor-made for Ren'Py.

Both tools are nearly ready for release and will be available separately under my Universal Ren'Py Mod toolkit family.

Could you add some icon or text to open menu instead of alt+w as it will work with android too?

This mod currently requires Ren'Py 8.x or later, which is based on Python 3. If you're using an older version of Ren'Py (7.x), you may encounter import errors like that and many more errors as old engines don't support new engine features.
Backward compatibility with Python 2 based engine (Ren'Py 7.x) is not currently supported, but may be considered in the future if there's enough demand.

 

[konstant61]

I understand, it's a pity of course... but it's not a problem, there is a ZLZK mod for this...

 

[Freddyfazballs]

Is there anything like this for older versions? I tried ZLZK but that sometimes doesn't work, and I tried fergz but that never works

 

[Knox_]

I see there's quite a bit of demand for the older Ren'Py launcher. I'll try to port it or make it compatible with the older Python 2-based renpy launcher as well.

 

[player two]

I'm using the latest 1.4 release on Phone Story. It appears to be working okay on this "phone format" story. Interesting effect though ... to advance after my selection, I must click outside of the "message" area such as on top of the "phone's face".
