Re: Do audio formats still matter for Ren'Py? [Solved]

You converted a lossy file to a lossy file. That's not recommended, only really convert lossless to lossy unless you have no other source. One reason the ogg file may have been larger would be your settings, how much you want to compress the file and how the bits are distributed from the bit rate. ...

Re: Do audio formats still matter for Ren'Py?

I'd recommend opus for new audio, if you can support it. Otherwise, ogg vorbis and mp3 are both good choices. I've just tried converting one of the mp3 tracks we're using in our project to ogg vorbis but it's much heavier (mp3 = 2mb & ogg = 5mb) The game that we're making has a lot of music in ...

Re: Using Renpy within Google Drive/cloud-based software?

You could used Resilio . Which will sync your project files across the devices automatically, so once you update on one machine, the project files on other machines are also update at the same time through peer-to-peer network. Alternatively, install Dropbox or Google Drive on both machine and setu...

Re: Using Renpy within Google Drive/cloud-based software?

There are options for this but it's not typically friendly with people who are new to it. You'd have to learn how to use git and then use a site like github or gitbucket. When you make updates to the script, you'd go into the folder and use git there and push updates and then she would go into her ...

Using Renpy within Google Drive/cloud-based software?

So I am creating a VN with my sister; she does all of the art and I am dealing with the programming side of things (we work on writing the script together). I was wondering if there is a way to work with Renpy within Google Drive (or some other cloud software) so that any updates I make, she can qui...

Re: My background it doesn't work

OH I see! Thanks for that awesome example trooper6. That does make things a lot quicker actually and that would explain why it would have failed in older versions :D

Re: Clarification about the zoom and rotate ATL Ren'Py tutor

Yeah my image is rather wide so I guess that can't be helped.

Not sure how to fix the rotation thing though, maybe that's also due to my image?

Thanks for trying to help out anyway xela :)

Re: My background it doesn't work

What trooper6 and PyTom have both said are correct but normally (as a rule) I tend to use underscores when naming my images (or anything when programming) because: 1) some programs come up with syntax errors if you don't use underscores (so it's transferable). 2) It makes my code look more readable...

Re: The Life Of I [Romance] [Tragedy] [Kinect Novel]

Interesting that you are using TyranoScript! How has using that been? (Sorry just curious in terms of that and comparing it to Renpy which is what I am using for my game right now). In terms of feedback, I actually clicked on this due to the Tragedy tag and not due to the Romance so that may be one ...

Re: Animated mainmenu background: how to do it?

That does make intuitve sense actually, nice code :)

I just have a quick question. Would it mean therefore that this would work for imagebuttons (since the other method can be used with imagemaps) or would another method be needed?

Re: How can I show title and subtitle in order?[solved]

I was just wondering, is there a way to do this with imagebuttons? The effect I am looking for is similar with the main title coming in first and then the image buttons coming in afterwards onto the screen. I have been trying to adapt the code placed in this forum (as well as others) into mine and I...

Re: Clarification about the zoom and rotate ATL Ren'Py tutor

Sorry if my post was unclear and thanks for your reply xela. Unfortunately though they both didn't work, the picture that I want to rotate around a stationary point goes round in a circle and ends up somewhere else on the screen that I don't want. I'm not really sure how to make it clearer but if th...

Clarification about the zoom and rotate ATL Ren'Py tutorials

Hi All! So, I'm rather new to Ren'Py and like most people I'm trying to make a game. At the moment I am focusing on the main menu where I am trying to use ATL to make it more animated and fun to look. I want my title to start off really big and then zoom in smaller so that it's the correct size. The...

Re: Animated mainmenu background: how to do it?

Thank you trooper6 (and sorry that my request caused you to stay up late, hope you got some good rest afterwards ;)) After many attempts (and stupid errors on my side, hence the delay in replying) I've finally been able to get the effect I wanted, learning a few other things along the way. Thanks so...
