Re: Ren'Py 6.99.14.2 Released

Was the text on the second row rightmost save slot not being highlighted with the same color as the other save slot texts already a known issue?

Re: Ren'Py 6.99.14.2 Released

There's a bug with this latest version. If you make a new game and pick 1920 x 1080 for it's resolution, then start the game and go into the preferences menu, the "Window" button will show as unselected even if your game is in window mode. This problem also occurs in previously made games...

How to add multiple images to the say screen?

My textbox consists of the textbox image plus a couple other images that use choice statements to create an animation.

How do I add these other images to the screen that shows the textbox image?

Re: Using random variables inside an ATL statement.

Not sure exactly what you're trying to do, but you might look at the function statement . Here's an example that's uses the same random # for position and fadein/fadeout duration: init python: first_foo = True def foo_function(trans, st, at): global random_foo global first_foo if first_foo: first_f...

Re: Using random variables inside an ATL statement.

If you only need one random number that doesn't need to be re-randomized during the ATL block, you can randomize it before and supply as an argument IIRC: transform myTransform(a): xpos a label dostuff: $ randomnumber = renpy.random.random(200) show eileen at myTransform(randomnumber) I'm not sure ...

Re: Using random variables inside an ATL statement.

The effect I had in mind was a glow effect. Certain spots on the text box need to glow. Neither of those ideas would work for my initial idea because it needs to randomly pick a number at the beginning of the ATL, and then depending on the chosen number, it needs to load up an initial image and subs...

Using random variables inside an ATL statement.

For those of you experienced with Ren'Py, is it possible to generate a random variable at the beginning of an ATL's loop statement and use that to determine what transform to do? If so how do you do that? If it's not possible, here's my second question: how would you make a function that, based on a...

Re: Textbox briefly appears when changing scene inside choice.

Try changing the scene before the menu comes up. So: scene cCooking with fade hide cWindowStare menu: "Chili": nar "I love the smell of boiling beans and legumes: pinto, lentils and kidney. With the hard work of soak and search done, I can watch them dance in the water while stirring...

Re: Games you learned to code from or would recommend learning from

I've learned from exactly 0 game's codes. I also consider the documentation for Ren'Py almost useless when it comes to learning to code. Just doesn't work for me. I'm the exact opposite of this. Either I see someone spell it out for me, or I don't know it at all. And I mean it needs to be spelled o...

Re: Games you learned to code from or would recommend learning from

When someone starts learning to make a game with Renpy they probably start by looking at the documentation, the bundled game and the cookbook. While a lot can be learned from The Question , inevitably no one game is going to teach you everything you need to know. What are some other games that you ...

Re: What features do you like to see in a VN?

So faced with that realization I'm curious what motivates you to want to play a visual novel beyond very specific themed stories. Obviously if you're a fan of eroge you'll be basing you decisions mostly on art aesthetics for example. Not true at all. I imagine many people, at least me, base their d...

I’d make them think they’re on the bad route, make them think they’re on the good route for a bit, then throw a bad end in their face. That’s the kind of stuff I like.
