Hi all, I am trying to create a very specific look with the way my sprites move around on screen, and I want to use transitions, rather than transforms, for moving characters around. This is so I can use the show character at position with transition syntax, to achieve as close a plain-English scrip...

Hi everybody! I'm posting here on behalf of Somnova Studios, developers of Missing Stars . We're now very close to the release of Act 1, scheduled for December 29th , and would like to bring on board more artists to help us achieve that goal. Writing for Missing Stars: Act 1 is now 100% complete - n...

That looks cool by the way.

Thanks so much for the suggestion, and for the compliment! I've given that a try, but no luck unfortunately - using on replaced has the same result as using on show, where the transform just isn't used.

Hi, I'm having trouble trying to animate some elements of my say screen with transforms that use on show. Here is my say screen: screen say(who, what): style_prefix "say" frame: background Frame("gui/divider.webp", 2, 0, tile = True) at dividercrop ## Might re-introduce this late...

What is the transition you are using? Just dissolve. Here's the full code I've got for this customised show statement etc.: init python: def replacement_show(*args, **kwargs): if kwargs['layer'] == 'characters': renpy.transition(Dissolve(1), layer=kwargs['layer']) renpy.show(*args, **kwargs) return...

I'm afraid so, yes.

It looks like the reason the text gets the same effect is because the transition is applied to the whole layer, and the character is on the same layer as the text. So this is probably the easiest solution... Thank you so much for your continued attention here, I really appreciate it. This is so so ...

Ah, right, I didn't notice that removing those puts you back where you started. I think that because show is used for more than just defined images, and because the transition is a separate thing from what you are showing, it'll be quite tricky. You can probably do it by checking *args and **kwargs...

Good idea, but doing so re-introduces the issue where text fades in;

Hi. I'm trying to figure out how to make sprites dissolve by default when shown, so it is not necessary to write "with dissolve" after every show statement. I've found this thread on the subject: https://lemmasoft.renai.us/forums/viewtopic.php?t=26221 and the code below almost works: def r...

Yeah, I've just noticed this is missing. A real pain. Really hope someone is able to find a copy of it soon.

This seems like an issue with the image being replaced with tags. That said, I can't think of any particularly nice way to deal with this other than to simply bifurcate the process -- which isn't ideal, but hopefully not too much of a burden. Mmhmm, this is the solution I've ended up using. Not the...

Got a slap on the wrist for bumping without progress, and rightly so. Sorry folks! Progress on this project is good. In fact, the main route is now complete! All that exists left to write is the alternate ending and a few pieces of dialogue that changes with choices made. I've also brought a UI and ...

Hi all, Yet another question with a most likely simple answer but I'm too stupid to work it out myself. So, I have a transform set up like this: transform slideinhl: on show: alpha 0.0 xalign 0.0 easein 0.5 alpha 1.0 xalign 0.25 on hide: easein 0.5 alpha 0.0 xalign 0.0 and it's used in the script li...

This is a short sci-fi visual novel that will be sold for profit upon release on multiple platforms (none yet confirmed, though I will target Steam as well as others). With an estimated read time of 2 - 3 hours, it is based on this /r/writingprompts post: https://www.reddit.com/r/WritingPrompts/comm...
