Re: Notepad++
Same IDE, opening a .sln file with multiple projects (and several source files per project), ending up with 14 source files open: 5 secs. Not entirely relevant, since loading a Solution involves a lot more work than just loading the relevant files - it's parsing XML, going off to check references a...

Re: NaNoRenO 2009 - Tall Tales project
I just wanted to contrast Jake's argument of other participants being busy on those dates against the facts that non-participants wouldn't have (almost) anything else to play by then. I guess I should have left out the "market-share" term, and even more the comparison with MS ^^; After all...

Re: Notepad++
I'll try and remember to race JEdit against Visual Studio this evening. But since here at work VS2008 takes less than a second to open up on a VPC running on a computer that's less powerful than my home desktop, I doubt it would come out in JEdit's favour. Now that you mention... VC# Express 2008, ...

Re: NaNoRenO 2009
Just wanted to formally announce that, in order to give trecevidas enough margin to deal with the art, I just started writting code last night. My idea was to do the coding in exactly one week, but I'll be out next sunday so I started one day earlier :P HardCoreRenO has begun!! Oh, and why not, I'll...

Re: NaNoRenO 2009 - Tall Tales project
Why wait for 31st when March 28-29 is more optimal? 'More Optimal'? You mean when some significant proportion of active forum members can't look at it because they're busy finishing their own NaNo entries? :3 Well, that's not a bad idea, since on March 31st and April 1st all other forum members wil...

Re: Do you approve swear words in a VN?
In my case, I normally write dialogue by trying to get inside the character and the scene, and speaking for him/her: if some swearing comes out, the swearing just gets into the script as everything else does. Can't say for sure if this is a successful approach, since I haven't completed a single pro...

Re: Notepad++
Okay, much as the topic of Scite >> Jedit is a tired old topic, I just want factual observations... what specs are your machine and how long does Jedit start up for you? My tests From Start -> Run dialog: N++ (my preferred editor for most stuff): 2~3 on first and subsequent launches. Scite (the one...

Re: Questions about sprites and other things!
This may vary widely between different graphics software, but there is a technique roughly supported by most tools that can get the work quite well done even for hand-colored pics: masks. Here is a summary of what you'd need to do; the details for each step are tool-dependent: Get a scan of your ori...

Re: How to replace "menu" and "show" functionalities?
First of all, thanks for your attempt to answer. Even while it doesn't really solve my doubts, I still appreciate the intention. I'm afraid I didn't express myself properly, or you misunderstood my questions. Please, let me clarify: the code itself to display the menu is not an issue, I have done cr...

How to replace "menu" and "show" functionalities?
Hey! It's been quite long since I last went nuts with crazy questions on these forums, so I guess it's a good thing that I entered this Nano :P Well, going to the subject, I'm facing two separate, but quite related, challenges. First, I'd like to completelly replace the "menu" statement's ...

Re: Ren'Py 6.9.0 Released
Wow! I hadn't been around for a while, but I had only missed one ren'py release! Haven't tried it yet, and will release my nano project on 6.8.1 just to be sure, but will definitelly swap to this one for FoJ and everything else I do after this crazy month. Actually, I have seen something on the rele...

Ouch! I have already read something about the sequel, but didn't see this thread 'till now (well, haven't been around too much lately). I can't forgive myself for taking so long to reply... I can't add too much to what has already been said: your approach to the sequel looks amazing, and unsurprisin...

Re: NaNoRenO 2009
After some miserable failures on previous NaNoRenOs and IntRenAiMos, trecevidas and me are still too masochist, so we're up for the challenge again. Hoping to not repeat the previous failures, we're setting the Fall of Jayshn project aside, and starting something much smaller from scratch... so from...

Re: flash / swf objects in the main menu?
mmm, "not a displayable". You can make your dealings with displayables easier with renpy.easy_displayable . Basically: mm_root = Fixed(Pan(renpy.easy_displayable("menutrans.png"), (0, 0), (1600, 0), 10.0), Image("frontcover.jpg")), should do. This will solve the "...

Re: About ImageReference()
As usual, things are far simpler than what I could expect ^^; However, I have some concerns about image tags once I start trying to use this with my Creature objects (the Dungeon was the simplest of my use cases, after all). I have already checked the docs and fount about the "as" clause, ...
