### 📚 How to use?

might require holding down `Shift ⬆` key) and the popup dialog window will tell

you all the available info.



### 🙋 FAQ



*Long story short, blame Ren'Py. Not MAS, not MAS developers, not WTF

developers, blame Ren'Py for its poor design choices.*



#### 🤔 Why does it say 'seems' and 'might'? Why so uncertain?



Unfortunately, there isn't a reliable straightforward way to programmatically

tell which file is *exactly* being used by Ren'Py right now for showing a

certain topic; to somehow make do with that, Where is That From submod does a

few tricks that aren't always reliable not are always accurate.



In addition to that, there is no way to know for sure that current topic will

be accessible once you finish it, as it might perform some locking logic at the

end and there is not way to tell if it definitely will be accessible again with

confidence. Sorry for the uncertainty, but it can only do so much...



#### 🤔 Why does it not detect the submod owning a topic?



Due to how Ren'Py works and how MAS handles events, there is no way to really

tell for sure if some topic belongs to a file with some submod metadata in it.

Where is That From submod tries to search for submod metadata in current topic

file, and if there was none, it could also try to look around in neighboring

files, however, in cases when .RPY/.RPYC file is placed right in `game` or

`game/Submods` and not in its own folder, the search area is too broad and it

cannot look around to find submod header and tell for sure without a high risk

of getting a false positive.



Alternatively, it could be that submod just doesn't have a submod header. Submod

developers may omit that bit for their own reasons, which prevents Where is That

From submod from determining what submod is the script file provided by. But, it

can at least tell what file contains the topic you're currently looking at.
