Breaking Changes

This page outlines any breaking changes between breaking game releases to help with updating mods.

V25.6

Due to forward compatibility and technical reasons, custom Text Markup from MGD (not Ren’Py) are now enclosed with [] square brackets instead of {} curly braces.

Fix Instructions

There is a regex you can use in VS Code and Atom to find and replace all instances of {markup} with [markup]:

  1. Go to File -> Add Folder To Workspace…

  2. Go back to the game folder, click on Mods, click on your mod folder, click Select Folder/Open.

  • Add your mod to your workspace/project view:

  • Press ctrl / ⌘ + shift + f to open up workspace/project-wide search and replace.

  • Add the search and replace values:

Search field:

\{(ThePlayerName|THEPLAYERNAME|TPN|DamageToPlayer|DamageToEnemy|FinalDamage|PlayerOrgasmLine|MonsterOrgasmLine|DisplayPlayerChoice|DisplayMonsterChoice|ProgressDisplay|AttackerName|AttackerName2|AttackerName3|AttackerName4|AttackerName5|TargetName|AttackerYouOrMonsterName|TargetYouOrMonsterName|FocusedMonsterName|AttackerHeOrShe|TargetHeOrShe|AttackerHisOrHer|TargetHisOrHer|AttackerHimOrHer|TargetHimOrHer|SexAdjective|SexWords|PlayerLevel|PlayerMoney|ColorEnd)\}

Replace field:

[$1]

  • Ensure the regex button is turned on in your text editor:

  • Press ‘replace all’ in your respective text editor. It will take a few minutes to complete.

  • [SexWords] in particular is now [SexWord] due to a technical issue with old saves.

  • In your text editor, do the above regex first, and then make sure the regex button is disabled therafter.

  • Search your project for: [SexWords]

  • Replace with: [SexWord]

Other v25.6 Breakages

  • Removed {UseSetColor} and {SetTextColor}.

  • {Pink} is the one exception to the square bracket change by technicality, but now must be closed with {/Pink}.
