RenPy Cheat Generator

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.

based on this f95 thread (thanks to @Aziien)

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 'Shift+O') and cheat menu (Default to 'Shift+C').
• Add variables and menus with simple button click. (Menus can be placed in menus)
• Drag & Drop to modify order of items.
• Text editor, for the more advanced users, its basically a bare bone script system.
• Generate the 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(str) (Will make a menuitem with the selected variable and ask for input ingame)
• variable_name(str);custom_text (Same as above, however will have custom text)
• variable_name(int)=500 (Fixed variable, will set value to specify)
• variable_name(int)=500;custom_text (Same as before, will show custom text)
• <menu_title (Creates a menu, everything between start and end will be added to menu)
• > (Ends the menu)

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. (Preview game is 'Corruption')

Developer notes:

Although application mimic the original, it has some differences:

• Variables now have types defined (string, integer and float)
• String variables can have quotes (single quotes or double quotes)
• Builder is a tree style and so no need for special "End of menu" marker
• Column built-in sorting and resizing
• When installing, select game directory, and cheat will be placed at correct location
• I would recommend grouping variables by menus, as excess of variables will be offscreen

TODO

• Improve a visual hint where dropped item will be placed, as it's difficult to aim
  • (should think of the way how to do it)
