Ren'Edit
A downloadable tool
Ren'Edit is a simple tool designed for beta testers, proofreaders, editors, and developers.
This plugin can be used in virtually any Ren'Py game. It enables a GUI overlay to quickly mark areas for typos, grammatical errors, bugs, etc! Ren'Edit generates a text file with information for the developer to quickly locate and fix issues.
- Easily modifiable & Open-source (MIT License)
- Out-Of-The-Box functionality
- Commented Code
Files within this zip:
- README with Installation Instructions & License
- EditingLog.txt , the text file that will be modified by Ren'Edit. Developers can add their own message to the top of this file for all beta testers to see!
- renedit.rpy , the base code with additional installation instructions and example code for developers.
- renedit_screens.rpy , for modifying the appearance of Ren'Edit.
- renedit_options.rpy , for archival/distribution instructions for developers.
- All the images for the GUI overlay.
This tool was created by minute in collaboration with Caps. As this was lovingly created for the Ren'Py community, we also thank PyTom for the gift of Ren'Py.
This tool is PWYW, but all donations will go towards more tools like this one. Thank you, and happy developing!

Hi! This tool is really amazing. I'm trying to run it as an editor, and while the Note function seems to work okay, clicking the Typo button on the overlay gives me this error:
```
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.
While running game code:
File "renpy/common/00action_other.rpy", line 578, in __call__
rv = self.callable(*self.args, **self.kwargs)
File "game/renedit/renedit/renedit_functions.rpy", line 12, in add_typo
TypeError: can only concatenate str (not "NoneType") to str```
I'm using Ren'Py 8.0.3, so IDK if that would be the reason? Anyway, I can still use the Note function so I'm not too worried, but I thought I'd let you know. Thank you for making this, it's exactly what I needed!
How odd! Sorry for the trouble. I'm actually working on a new update to the tool that should hopefully fix a lot of issues and be easier to use, but for now if you open up renedit_functions and go to line 12, you may be able to fix this by replacing it with this.
editlog.write("\nTypo logged at "+ str(renpy.get_filename_line()) + ":\n" + str(_last_say_what) + "\n\n----------------------------\n")
This will make sure the _last_say_what will be written down as text in the event no one spoke last (usually if you're using something different to display text... but not going to discount it being a Ren'Py 8.0 issue!)
Yup, that fixed it! Thanks for the quick response. I won't discount the possibility that I did something wrong in installing it either ... But the main thing is that it's fixed! I'll look forward to the update as well~
Hi! Do you have a video demonstrating how to set this up for editors using it on a project that hasn't integrated this in? I have zero Ren'Py coding experience, so the instructions in the README/renedit.rpy weren't clear to me.
I don't have a video, but hopefully this will help!
Then, just press "e" on your keyboard in-game to bring up the overlay.
Thanks! Maybe I'll make a download version specifically for drag-and-drop use for these cases.
This helped! Thank you so much, I appreciate it!!
thank you
WHOA, very cool.
Thanks so much for putting this tool together! I'm trying it out with a new project and it's working really well.
I got these errors when I tried to add Ren'Edit to my game:

I'm sorry, but errors were detected in your script. Please correct the
errors listed below, and try again.

You may have to update your Ren'Py to the latest version. Otherwise, you can comment out the caret transform and the tooltip from the code. Thanks for downloading!
Awesome tool! Thank you so much!
Thank you for your helpful contributions always!!!!
