Tool Ren'Py RenPy Cheat Generator

[Aziien]

I created this to make it easier to make custom cheat menus for RenPy games, its basically a text editor where you can make a menu and open it ingame.

The only requirement is that you know the name of the variables.

Features:
Enables console.
Get list of current used variables + values to file "Game Variables.txt" in game root dir (Default to 'M' if enabled in settings)
Adds editable shortcut to console (Default to 'L') and cheat menu (Default to 'K').
Add variables and submenus with simple button click. (Submenus cant be placed in submenus)
Drag & Drop to modify order of items.
Text editor, for the more advanced users, its basically a bare bone script system.
Generate button with generate a menu which will be copied to the clipboard.
Install will create a file named 'CustomCheatMenu.rpy' at selected location.

Variable types:
variable_name (Will make a menuitem with the selected variable and ask for input ingame)
variable_name;custom_text (Same as above, however will have custom text)
variable_name=500 (Fixed variable, will set value to specified)
variable_name=500;custom_text (Same as before, will show custom text)
<submenu_title (Creates a submenu, everything between start and end will be added to submenu)
> (Ends the submenu)

Warning:
Use the cheats generated with care, as you might break something in your game if you modify the wrong variables.

Using the function to write game variables to a file is experimental, please be cautious while using it.

Feedback is much appreciated.

Outstanding !

Thanks for making the program and sharing with us!

It can help time to time, but the game you used as example is a good demonstration of how fast it can backfire :
1) The "sex_of_" variables are linked to the corruption level, increasing one without increasing the other sometimes lead to unexpected behavior ;
2) If you just increase the corruption level (what people will tend to do at first intend), you'll miss the scenes related to this change ;
3) the "sex_of_" variables don't have a constant behavior. Some are increased by 15, other by 1. Some are used to track the corruption, other are firstly used as semaphore then used to track the corruption. Some imply a change each time the value is increased, other need to be increased more than once before the change happen.

I don't say that it's not a good tool nor a good idea, but for games with complex mechanism it will lead to more problems than solutions. This said, it's a good shortcut to the console use, but to use with many cautions.

What you say is indeed true, but tinkering with game variables always have a risk of destroying something. The game was just an example to show how it could be used. How people use it will probably differ very much.

And i appreciate your feedback

To be clear, my comment wasn't against your tool, but more a warning for future users.
Taking a list of "cheat code" and creating its own cheat tool is now made easy by your tool, which is positive. But people doing it must know (then remember) that if it don't works as expected, it's not necessarily because of your tool and/or because of the game itself.

Im aware, i just wanted to write something to your long comment

Added a warning to my first post.

Updated with a new function.
Making it possible to get all used variables including their values to a text file in game root dir.

Did you write any variables?

Thank you for the answer, at the moment no problem.

How to solve this?

however it's working if i declare it as simple variable, although it's auto capitalized in the cheat menu,,,, View attachment 133083 View attachment 133086 only in sub menu its causing prob.

Your right, i dont know why i didnt think of that, i will update it as soon as possible so that it will keep the original user input.

I wont be able to update in the next couple of days since i dont have my pc at the moment. But you can expect it fixed within the next 10 days

How can one save text in the clipboard?

 

[Aziien]

How can one save text in the clipboard?

The clipboard is where you copy things to, so basically you have to make a new .rpy file manually, and then paste the code into the document and save it

It would be even if they would make an introductory video, because I do not quite understand, as I can connect tool with the game and not synonymous as the text saves to the clipboard! Sorry it's just that my English is not that good so that's why I wanted to play renpy games with a translator tool, so I wanted to know how to save the text to the character bin.

Is the variables names written correctly, capital letters do matter?

or send game name so i can check it out.
