Hi so I'm not sure if it's something on my end and I've only seen maybe one post about this on here but whenever I launch COTE: Red Sonata [v0.14.3] it sends me a traceback error followed by the URM mod getting deleted. I'm using the latest version so I'm not sure what it is that I'm missing. Was this something the dev of that game did intentionally and if so, is there a way to bypass that or am I SOL? Cheers.

If you did search for "red sonata" you should have found 0x52's reply on this issue though...?! The game dev intentionally deletes any modification to the game, but 0x52 does mention a "workaround" for that -- I haven't tested it myself, so I can't tell if it's still working.

I actually didn't see that they posted a reply to that other post, sorry mate. Will try the workaround and see if that helps. Cheers.

Edit: That did the trick, but it doesn't want to open the URM menu when I press alt + m. :confused:

Edit 2: Nevermind, I guess it was just the prologue that wasn't allowing me to use it? :FacePalm:

game seems to run aggressive python scripting for anti-tamper? doesn't even want to run vanilla under sandbox environment (file access restrictions/networking blocked)

Unity games aren't editable like Ren'Py games, so there's nothing you can really do without some proper hacking AFAIK. Unless the game creator allowed for some sort of scripting on top of the engine, which is unlikely for this genre.

More specifically, Unity games don't follow a particular pattern like RenPy does, such as some specific, set variables and whatnot. You can't just pop a file into Unity and expect to be able to change a character's name or whatever, because that game might use its own code to make a VN, so you'd have to know that code specifically and target it. It's practically impossible to make a "universal" Unity mod that has a lot of the same high-level functionality that URM has, just because of that variation and the nature of Unity as a game engine. A Unity game can be anything, anywhere from a VN to the next Fallout NV, and because of that fact, no Unity mod can be as universal as URM.

However, Unity games are editable like RenPy, if you're willing to use/learn BepInEx, MelonLoader, or any similar modding framework. Those are just easy-to-install modding frameworks that hooks into Unity games and allows certain plugins to be ran, such as

or even my mod for Femboy Survival.

TL;DR: Unity can be as moddable (if not more) as RenPy, but there is no plug-and-play, "universal" Unity mod that functions like this one, especially not if the Unity game is a VN.

I have a bit of a random question about this mod. In some games the mod is fluid as can be but in some it's really gluggy, typing into it or deleting text is very slow and i'm just curious what could be causing it? I know that's not giving useful details but i'm just hoping it's a simple sort of thing that really only has one answer, like the game takes up too much RAM or something, i dunno.

It's in my notes, but it's complicated to accomplish

Does this always happen with specific games or when doing something specific?

I've only noticed it here or there, it's pretty rare, i can go a whole bunch of games without seeing it and then some odd one has it. Only real way to notice it is to try typing with the menu up, it's pretty consistent overall, if the game has the problem. Since it's so rare i've never managed to remember long enough to try and find a pattern but i was just figuring it was something simple you'd already know about, like old Renpy versions or a specific module some devs use when they should use another one instead but they're new and don't know better. The fact your asking tells me you're unfamiliar with it which actually surprises me and now i feel like a dipshit for not coming to you with actionable information.

I'm going to assume the answer is "yes", but if attempting to use URM on a VN that has been finalized and had an independently developed WT mod merged into it, will this cause a conflict?

I'm playing a completed VN for whom someone had done a WT Mod, and the Dev incorporated that mod into the VN and re-issued the "Modded" VN after completion.

I'm trying to go back and change the MC name without restarting, but the script file is .rpyc (or .rpya - I always get those confused when I'm not looking directly at the directory) instead of .rpy, and the definition isn't showing up in any other .rpy file as I've usually found, suggesting that URM is my only real solution outside of completely rewriting the few files I can access with the simple tools I have, or completely restarting the routes from the beginning.

It isn't a huge deal, but there are many routes now, and I finally thought of a fitting name other than the default. Just a little point of "it would be better if", but it isn't an essential thing.

When you get this exception (just showing it partially here):
return SetDict(sys._getframe(1).f_locals, name, value)
AttributeError: 'ADVCharacter' object has no attribute '_getframe'
This is caused when a developer assigned something to Ren'Py's

"sys".
By doing this they broke Ren'Py itself. You can fix this using these instructions.
