Please disregard.
I did some more testing and it seems that RenPy doesn't like my choice menu modifications.
Works fine in the original language though.

Hi enaielei, Here's the problem I keep running into: With this code default name_angela = "Angela" default name_bibi = "Bibi" define a = Character("[name_angela]", dynamic=True, image="angela", who_color="FF7FFF", who_outlines=[ (2, "#333333&quo...

OK, great!
I'll implement this.

Thank you so much!

Hi enaielei, I'm getting somewhere with your code example. Could I trouble you to help me one more time, please? I'm not sure how to proceed after the input. The cursor basically just sits there after typing in a new name. Not sure how to use the new input value to actually change the selected chara...

I'll give that a shot, thanks!

Hi! I'm trying to make a screen that lets a player change the names of some of the characters in my game. There is a button on that screen that allows text input to change the name variable. screen names(): tag menu use game_menu(_("Character Names"), scroll="viewport"): window: ...

Thanks for the tip philat, I'll try it out. I am working on a sandbox game rather than a VN, so there is a lot of checking if a PC or NPC is at a certain location at a certain time, meeting a certain condition. The variables are all True, False and numerical. As to be expected. Different vars for di...

Thanks Alex!
That will cut down on the length of a line.

Hi, I'm coding away on my VN and some of the IF / ELIF lines of code becoming longer and longer. Depending on the complexity of an event or interaction. if ...... elif janitor_door_now_unlocked == False and class_b_tried_to_open == True and day >= class_b_eventcontinues_day and dtime >= class_b_even...

... I'm downloading Renpedit now, and hopefully it'll be useful later on when I start actually drafting concrete story points. I just came across some older posts about this app called "Renpedit". And while these are older threads, the application sounded quite good. Was this thing really...

I've checked out Articy, and it is a very powerful and versatile program. No doubt. But Articy's very steep learning curve, and the lack of exporting the final game in a somewhat RenPy friendly format would probably double my development time. For now I'll stick with Freemind. Once Articy can export...

So, I took another look and I was finally able to modify your code to get it to work for me.

Thank you for your help!

Hi, Thanks for the code. Unfortunately it isn't working for me, because of the way I display choice buttons along the bottom of the screen and tooltips in a frame in the upper left corner. I tried to adapt your code, but without success. I also use color tags in the menu choices, and that may be an ...

Hi, I'm trying to display a tooltip when hovering over one of the in-game menu choices, but I'm not sure how to pass a corresponding tooltip string to # hovered tt.Action("tooltip") # in the choice screen. Using an array, or can that be added as parameter to the menu option? Any suggestion...

I'm not certain what you mean by "more non-linear than a VN". Visual novels are non-linear as a general rule, and it's very common to have day-specific events in dating sims... In theory, yes. But I've seen some rather linear non-linear VNs. Thanks to the two of you for suggesting Arcity ...
