Different UI in different daytime

[Milten]

Hey, guys!

I'd like to have a possibility to change some UI components (like what-frame, who-frame, ctc icon, etc.) in order to make them look different in day and night. I haven't got any ideas and I failed to find any useful info, so I'm asking for your help

You have to use ConditionSwitch on the images you use for each picture.

For example:

Code: Select all

image textbox = ConditionSwitch(
        "time_of_day == 'day'", "textbox_day.jpg",
        "time_of_day == 'night'", "textbox_night.jpg",
        )

init:
     $ time_of_day = 'day'

label start:
     $ time_of_day = 'day'
     n "It's daytime"
     $ time_of_day = 'night'
     n "it's nighttime"

Maybe include those UI elements on your character definition, and define each character twice?

Code: Select all

define an = Character('Abraham', color = '#99FF33', ctc="ctc1", ctc_timedpause=Null(), ctc_pause="ctc1", ctc_position="nestled", window_background="ui/dialogue_night.png")
define ad = Character('Abraham', color = '#99FF33', ctc="ctc2", ctc_timedpause=Null(), ctc_pause="ctc2", ctc_position="nestled", window_background="ui/dialogue_day.png")

Code: Select all

scene twilight
show abraham running
with dissolve
"Time is running, and so is Abraham."
ad "I have to get there before the day ends. I better run faster."
ad "Oh, no! What's that?"
play sound "crash"
scene night
show abraham despair
with vpunch
an "Oh, no! Too late. Night has fallen already."

I'm trying to do a similar thing and am new to editing UI in Renpy.

I have it set up to switch during the game, but it's staying on the default UI. Do I do something to style.window.background in options.rpy?
