Re: Changing the yanchor (in screens.rpy) using if statement

You want: if (the number of dialogue choices) is 2, make the (value) of (yanchor) (-1.5) or if (a) equals 2, then set (y-anchor) to (value) What you did was: if (y-anchor) equals (value) or (value) or (value) Unfortunately, I am better at pseudo- than actual code, so there may be some mistakes here,...

Re: Uneven arrangement of save screenshots

The four values represent: hotspot (x, y, w, h) where x is the position of the object's top left corner on the x-axis, y on the y-axis, w is the object's width and h is its height. w and h should be the same values for all objects, since you want them to be the same size. In your image, (1 and 4), (...

Re: How to hyperlink to footnotes

First of all, create a new screen that will serve as a design blueprint for all footnotes. We'll call it "screen footnotes". You can do that within the existing screen file or, for a cleaner view, simply add a new file and save it as "footnotes.rpy" in the game folder. Because I ...

Re: Make horizontal bar with left & right arrow buttons that scroll a hbox? (picture)

Since no one posted a solution yet, you could try this:
Use the code from the Ren'Py example game's 'Help' screen. It has tabs at the top which you could rename to your names. Style them and add your arrows.
That's just an idea though if you can't find a better way.

Re: Continue game from last save with imagemap

Do you perhaps have a screenshot?
Do the other buttons work as they should?
Is it okay to have just one hover image? I always have one for each button.

Re: Tips on Marketing Renpy Apps on Google Play, App Feedback and Review Exchange

I finally checked out your apps. You really need to update your descriptions and make clear whom you wish to target. I assumed the Chinese app targeted non-Chinese toddlers. I know from experience that the importance of early vowel acquisition can't be overstated and thus had high hopes for the app....

Dovahkitteh, I am so happy that you weren't disappointed with the completed work. And you even went so far as to read my notes on Karnstein! I have another Gothic story in the works, much bigger and with choices, for which I intend to commission the artwork. Unfortunately, I could never handle the (...

Re: Image Dissolve for Image Buttons?

In my game I have a vertical menu that shows a different image upon hovering for each button. Before a few people here helped me out with the code, I had the following problem: When moving my mouse quickly over the menu buttons the unhover command would not be triggered and the hover images piled up...

Re: Rain Effect Alternatives

At a quick glance, it seems the Ren'Py 'simple rain effect' is just overlaying raindrops while the background remains untouched. If you look closely at the OpenGL example you'll notice that the background blurs in and out in accordance with the rain. Perhaps you could try blurring your background sl...

Re: Carmilla [Philosophy][Shoujo Ai][Vampire][free][Demo]

Thank you so much for your kind reviews, Rastagong! Perhaps a word on why I decided to keep landscape descriptions to a large degree: Streams-of-consciousness of an I-narrator are rightfully common among visual novels. Here, in romantic tradition, the landscape mirrors or expresses the inner state o...

Re: lagging return button (unpredicted image?)

Putting hover_color under else (my preferred approach) results in the following error:
"hover_color is not a keyword argument or valid child for the textbutton statement."
Defining a new style results in the loss of my formatting, no matter what I set as parent style.

Re: lagging return button (unpredicted image?)

Philat's code is working splendidly. I only have one tiny syntax problem left: Right now, there are two colors: hovered and idle. I'd like to keep the idle color on hover for the locked buttons. adding insensitive_color under style doesn't do anything, probably because they are not completely insens...
