Realistic car sway/bounce?

Hi there, I have a few shots in my game that take place behind the driver's seat and I'm trying to get a realistic ATL of the car's swaying. So far they feel a little stuttery and stiff. This is the transform code I'm working with: transform car_sway: ypos 0 linear 0.3 ypos -2 linear 0.2 ypos 0 line...

Re: Pause menu screen won't hide when I jump to a label?

'game_menu' is a screen that is used as a pattern for other screens. The screen that actually shows up on right mouse click is 'save'. If you do Hide('save') it should work, but only if it is the screen save that is showing. If you switch over to another screen first, like load, it will not work. T...

Pause menu screen won't hide when I jump to a label?

Hi there, I've got these imagebuttons on my pause menu (the game menu/navigation screen that pops up when you right click in game) that, when clicked, should bring you to a unique scene. But for whatever reason the game menu/navigation screen doesn't vanish, and so the extra scene happens behind the...

Re: preventing renpy from trying to keep my sentences equal length?

So I edited the gui.rpy file and changed the xalign to:

Code: Select all

define gui.dialogue_text_xalign = 0.0
this fixed my problem. I was hoping to have the "dialogue" stay centered, but now that I look at it, I'm happy with everything being justified to the left. :)

preventing renpy from trying to keep my sentences equal length?

Hi there, renpy seems to add line breaks to my lines of dialogue to make them of matching lengths. I don't like how inconsistent it makes the text look, especially for when my narrator is talking. Is there a way to disable this? I only want the text to create a line break once it's hit my maximum bo...

Re: Showing a portrait at a fixed screen coordinate?

Thanks a lot for the quick reply. I'll look into that, though now that I'm testing it out some more, it feels like "pos (x.x, y.y)" seems quite flexible... I'm just very slow at this stuff, haha...

Showing a portrait at a fixed screen coordinate?

Hi there, I've been struggling with properly moving my character portraits on screen. The "show Character at left/right/etc." was a bit too restrictive so I'm trying to create new transforms, but I find the placement of the portrait on screen unpredictable, even when I use things like &quo...

adding "music/" before the filename did it, thank you :)

Can only play music from project root folder?

Hi there, I tried placing my music files (.opus) into a "music" folder within my game folder but when I call the music within my game I get the following error: I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred. While running game code: IOError: Couldn't find file 'bgm_mothAna.opus'. When I pu...

Re: "brightness pulse" when a character starts talking?

So for the time being I'm just trying to sort out the zooming pulse. This is how I've implemented into the script: transform pulse: linear 0.1 zoom 1.01 pause 0.1 linear 0.1 zoom 1.0 default speaking_char = None init -1 python: def char_pulse(char, event_name, *args, **kwargs): if event_name == &quo...

Re: "brightness pulse" when a character starts talking?

Hi philat thanks for your suggestions! Both those ideas seem great, but I'm struggling to input your pieces of code into my game (sorry, my coding prowess is extremely lacking..). Specifically, I don't know how to make either of those pieces of code mesh with the existing code that Lord Hisu wrote. ...

Re: "brightness pulse" when a character starts talking?

Hi again, So I've hit a bit of a snag. Whenever I'm displaying a character whose show statement includes an additional piece of information (such as show eileen sad), then my pulsing brightness reverts to the neutral eileen.png for the actual flash, instead of using the sad looking eileen (eileen sa...

removing line spacing in the namebox?

Hi there, I have my character's names on two separate lines in the namebox but I would like the space between names to be smaller. I know {vspace=##} can be used to add spacing, but not sure how to remove it. I've tried vspace=-##, but that didn't do anything. My code looks like this: define e = Cha...

Thank you very much Lord Hisu and DannX! So I now have the pulse working on a per character basis... image eileen pulse: "eileen.png" pause .001 im.MatrixColor("eileen.png",im.matrix.brightness(.2)) pause .05 im.MatrixColor("eileen.png",im.matrix.brightness(.1)) pause ....
