Any way to ignore some .rpyc files during load?

Hey! I wanted to add mod manager to my game, the only thing I don't know how to do is how to make some scripts be ignored when loading game. I guess if it's doable, it would have something to do with python early, I've found these two options in docs:

Code: Select all

define config.searchpath = [ 'common', 'game' ]

A list of directories that are searched for images, music, archives, and other media, but not scripts. This is initialized to a list containing "common" and the name of the game directory.

Code: Select all

define config.search_prefixes = [ "", "images/" ]

A list of prefixes that are prepended to filenames that are searched for.

Something like these two, but they don't work for scripts, there is a mention of archives, but I guess it won't work with script archives. Anyone know if it's doable?

No, there is not. The only way to not load rpyc file is to make sure it isn't int the game folder. But there is a solution which doesn't involve deleting them or moving the outside: rename it. if the new file is called something like 123.rpycu, it won't be loaded. However, if there is a corresponding rpy file, rpyc will be regenerated, so you would ant to rename rpy files too.

I believe, that you cannot do it from inside of the game, because files might be locked for reading by RenPy, so an out-of-the-game launcher would be needed.
