Yeah, I usually do use yours, but something in his code keeps the black text with the gray drop shadow that makes it hard to read in most scenes. I should go in and edit his colors anyway as I'm not too fond of his color choices to begin with.

Thanks for telling me this. I haven't played this game since mid-January and it seems that it was before I made my transparency patch in February.
It looks like there's black color with grey outline set specifically to the character here, overriding global settings. This obviously needs an additional patch to remove character colors and outlines.
I'll take a look at it. :)

update:

As I suspected, there was a specific color and outline set for the MC in script.rpy.
And I found a way to add game-specific settings to my patch, so I just added a fix for this little problem to my patch and released v2.4.
You can download it from my sig and give it a try.
For me it looks like this now and it should look the same for the unmodded v0.1.0:

BTW, I'm thinking about creating a thread for my patch in the Tools & Tutorials section of the forum. I don't think that it deserves one, but it would make getting feedback from users a little more comfy.

You, sir, are a scholar and a gentleman - and there's damned few of us left. ;)

Unfortunately, I'm still getting the same black and grey as shown above for all text and not just the MC.
Wait... I'm running the patch from the OP... extracting the base files to a different directory...

Hmmm... that fixed all but the MC's, which is still black on my end from a fresh extract. I tried changing the color in your y_outline.rpy with no results in-game.

EDIT: I was loading from a save file. A fresh start gave the desired results in the base game.
A fresh start fixed the MC with the "fixed" file version, but all others are still using black... curiouser and curiouser.

Maybe a separate thread would be best to keep from cluttering this and possibly future game threads?

I'll try to do a compare with the fix files from the OP to see what was done there too, as I'm getting an auto-position with the cursor using the fix as well.

Thanks for the kind words, but I don't think I deserve it.

I just created a thread for my patch:

And I tested it again - extracted v0.1.0 from the original zip-file, added my patch and tried again. And it works for me.

As you said, it works for you after starting a new game and starting from your previous save messes it up. And I'm not sure where that color comes from. Even in the orginal game the text for MC isn't black nor gray but still white, just outline is different.

I'm just taking a wild guess that maybe you changed that color yourself via console at some point? In that case the change should be saved in the following save files and probably can't be overrided by any script files...

The only way to change it is via console again. Or by editing a save file (I'm not sure that

would help and I don't know ATM how to edit the "log" in Ren'py save file zip manually)

Just type this in there after loading the game from an old save and its effect should be instant:

define y = DynamicCharacter("povname", color="#000080")

It should go in the mods forum.

I'm not sure about that. After all, it's not a mod for a single specific game as other mods in the game mods section seem to be, it's a general patch for any Ren'Py games there are. It's more like a tool for Ren'Py than a mod for a game, more like UnRen.bat than "Dr. Amana, Sexual Therapist: Bonus Content, Pick Player Name, and Fixes [v0.1]"
I also find it cumbersome to follow the rules of posting this patch to the game mods forum, since it isn't a game mod for a specific game.

And the development section is definitely not the right place for this.

But I'm not opposed to a relocation by a mod, should they consider the current location for the thread be incorrect. I just can not imagine a more suitable place for it.

Yes, I thought it was a patch made specifically for this game, not a general RenPy game mod, which the posts after yours seem to make more clear.

@DeUglyOne and possible others who downloaded and used my patch of the v2.4 series - please download the new v2.4.1.1 version and replace the old one!

There was a critical error there that created a potential game crashing situation for any other game than View of Family with the patch v2.4 and with v2.4.1 for any other than View of Family or Dual Family.

Sorry for the mess!

You simply put that UnRen.bat file in game folder and then click it. It opens a window, where you can chose what you want to do. If you chose unpack pictures (not remember right words in there), it unpacks pictures in a folder inside a game.
