Welcome to the new DDLC Mod Template!

This new update brings semi-major changes, and features to the mod template.

Depreciation Warning

Ren'Py 6 support of the DDLC Mod Template is being put into question due to the lack of demand of Ren'Py 6 mods and to keep with the current Ren'Py development lifecycle. In the near future, new features and code will be focused on Ren'Py 7/8 then Ren'Py 6. It is recommended that you mod on Ren'Py 7 for future update. For more information, see this post.

Features

  • New Gallery/Achievement System. Achievements hide their descriptions (optional), and both systems require less arguments than before!

    Old users of the Gallery/Achievement system will need to update their Achievement/Gallery classes if planning to upgrade.

  • Vertical/Compact Framed Settings! More spacious settings screen with less bulk.
  • (Python 3) New Discord RPC System! Use RPC even easily and more efficiently now with Enable/Disable. Thanks Lezalith!
  • New Monika Console! Call in code more easily and efficiently with this new console system! Thanks Lezalith as well!
  • Removed obsolete Help button.
  • Fixed Act 3 Monika's Spaceroom. Thanks Psurae!
  • Dynamic Super Resolution - Upscale your characters and art higher for higher resolutions.
  • Dynamic Super Positions - Upscale your positions for higher resolutions.
  • Player Name Change - You misspelt your name? Easy. Go to Settings, Extras and Change your name there!
  • Custom Resolutions - Scale DDLC easily with preset resolution markers.

    Disabled by default. Comment out the code in screens.rpy to update it.

Changes

  • Added depreciation warning to Ren'Py 6.

Fixes

  • Fixed for loop for process list. - Elckarow Patch
  • Fixed special poems listing. - Elckarow Patch

Reminders

Since 4.1.0, the mod template has changed how DDLC files are located which means that old guides, tutorials and such from 2017-Nov 22, 2022 will no longer apply to template versions 4.1.0 and higher. Please refer to the DDMC Discord or new guides/tutorials that state that they are compatible with the new mod template layout.

For mod guides/tutorials, please state whether the guide/tutorial is for the old template layout from 2017-Nov 22, 2022 or the new one that applies to the current 4.1.0 and beyond template

Selecting the right mod template

If you are modding DDLC for the first time or are modding solely on Ren'Py 6 (not recommended) or 7 (recommended), download the DDLCModTemplate-4.2.0.zip file.
If you are modding DDLC on Ren'Py 8, download the DDLCModTemplate-4.2.0-Py3.zip file.

Installation of either mod templates are the same as usual.
