Grid Screen Error? "Uncaught Exception"

Okay, so I'm following this on screens: Everything works great. I get to the part where I'm supposed to make a grid, and I (as far as I can tell) copy the code exactly as written in the video (around 13:08): screen grid_screen(buttons): grid 2 len(buttons)/2+1: spacing 5 xalign 0.6 yalign 0.1 for bu...

Re: "Add Script File" Not Working?

That seems like the best option right now, yeah. Also, I wanted to ask something kind of silly that I'm not sure deserves its own thread. I know that you need to set defaults for flags before the start label in a project, does that mean you need to list all your flags in the same .rpy file as the st...

Re: "Add Script File" Not Working?

Ah, okay. I wasn't sure if it was some kind of bug/error, or if there was something obvious that I was missing.

"Add Script File" Not Working?

I'm using Renpy 7.1.3 on Windows 7. I click "Navigate Script">"Add script file", which brings me to the screen where I entire a filename. I type in something innocuous, like "vampires", "blue", "pancakes", etc. I click "Continue", which add...

Re: "Bonus Scene" SubMenu?

That worked amazingly well, thank you! My next question is, is there a way to combine submenus/unlockable menus with imagemaps? I see some tutorials on YouTube for persistent data, but all the ones I've found have the default "arial on a greyed-out sidebar" style. Are there any tutorials o...

"Bonus Scene" SubMenu?

One of the big mechanical gimmicks in my current project are unlockable bonus scenes. At certain points during a character's route, a flag will be activated that will unlock a bonus scene accessible from the game's main menu. https://i.imgur.com/JAnGRNa.png https://i.imgur.com/osDhcE5.png The thing ...

Re: Ren'Py - Creating a new UI page

I'd be interested in learning this, too. I'm working on a game where activating certain story flags unlocks "extra scenes" that can be viewed/played from a sub-menu on the main menu. The problem is, I'm not really sure how to add an additional page to the title screen. Here's a quick and t...

Re: Modifying Title Screen

When I copy the contents of your ZZ folder over to a new game project, the tutorial game ends up looking like this:

Not sure what I'm doing wrong, tbh.

Re: Modifying Title Screen

ETA: I just created a version of the Imagebuttons tutorial that has the problem fixed. It is currently the last post on that thread. You can download that and check out the tutorial. Real quick, when I try to incorporate that code into a new game, I get an error telling me that "test_one"...

Modifying Title Screen

So I've just learned how to use imagemaps, and I want to use that knowledge to make a snazzy new title screen! This is the base image I'm working with: http://i.imgur.com/A0nRvv6.png My question is, how do I take this image and turn it into a proper title screen? I know how to make imagemaps that le...

Choice boxes of varying sizes?

So, I'm working on stuff, and I noticed two things: 1. When I make choice boxes, the text is automatically centered to a certain point. 2. If a type a particularly long choice, once that can't fit within said points, it'll just spill over out of the choicebox and look terrible, like so: http://i.img...

Re: Best Way to Learn / Tutorials?

I appreciate the advice. I'm actually wondering if this is something I should be working on, like...as I learn, I think I'm going to take notes on the problems I'm having, the solutions I find, and see if I can put together a decent holistic tutorial of some kind. It seems like it'd be a fun way to ...

Re: Just how awful is it to use stylized photos for bgs?

I think the main question is how well you do it. I mean, if you take a random photo of the street you live on, and then just slap some neon edges on it, it's gonna look kinda sloppy and weird. But if you actually take the time to use color and filters and things like that to make it look visually ap...
