Re: Ren'Py 6.10.2 Released

We'd probably want to make it optional, and to scan all the files at once I was actually going to suggest a separate method from config.font_replacement_map which looks like this: $ result = config.build_font_map["DejaVuSans.ttf"] where result returns a list of font files and their style ...

Re: Ren'Py 6.10.2 Released

C code that touched fonts I had hoped to find open source Python code for retrieving bold/italic attributes from OTF/TTF metadata, but couldn't find any that didn't license-encumber Ren'Py to implement. So, I wrote you my own, very loosely adapted from this post 's basic instructions for accessing ...

"View active topics" now restricted to 6.11/6.10 Development

A few days ago I noticed that the "View active topics" link only shows Ren'Py 6.10 and 6.11 Development threads.

phpBB forum suggests it might be this, don't know if this was intentional or not.

Just curious.

Re: [WIP] American Jurassic (demo available, artists needed)

That aside, the only issue I saw with the writing is that it often seemed to switch between very well done, articulate 1800's style and something more modern and simple. In some characters cases this is fine (Such as with Marcus), since you can tell that it's just how they speak, but when it happen...

Re: 6.10 Development

When Ren'Py uses a Transform (including an ATL transform) to display an image, it will record the position. If an image with the same tag is displayed with a transform, Ren'Py will initialize the new transform with the old position. If the new image doesn't use a transform, one is implicitly added....

Re: Stand on your mark (question about directing)

What's the problem with telegraphing to the player that a new character is arriving? Completely removing the element of surprise, mainly. Otherwise, you could center your character while the dialog with them is happening, and then when character B arrives, move character A over to the other side of...

Stand on your mark (question about directing)

In my current project I have several scenes with one character where the character is not centered horizontally. My sprite artist says it's customary in VNs to center the character unless other characters are about to enter the scene. My instinct tells me doing this is telegraphing to the player whe...

FWIW the current download of renpy-6.10.2-sdk.zip lists itself as version 6.10.1 in OS X.
