Re: background not appearing?

If you're trying to call the file without needing to declare it like that, the file name itself needs to be bg night.png instead of just night.png like you have it currently. Otherwise defining the image like so: image bg night = "/vn art/night.png" will work as well when you show it later...

[Bug] On statements not working for non-screen related transforms

I've already made a github post about this here but wanted to put this here too so that more people see it. As of the latest update, when I try to show any non-screen related objects or items — like images for example — with a transform that contains on statements such as "on show" or &quo...

Re: Automatically darkening characters that aren't speaking, layered image version

That second method could be just what I'm looking for, and definitely can be built further.

Thanks!

Re: Automatically darkening characters that aren't speaking, layered image version

I hope this doesn't come off as dude, but that doesn't really solve my problem since that prevents me from calling the attributes in my layered images.

Re: Automatically darkening characters that aren't speaking, layered image version

Sorry to add onto this, but now I'm a little stuck on how to format the ConditionSwitch so it'll work with my layered image.

Alright, that's good to hear.
I'll go test it out and see how it fares, thank you!

Re: Automatically darkening characters that aren't speaking, layered image version

That would require making a ConditionSwitch with my already defined layered image, right?
Hm, that could work. Though won't that inflate my file sizes or is a ConditionSwitch not as taxing as I assume it is?

Automatically darkening characters that aren't speaking, layered image version

Hi there. So I've been trying to figure out a way to automatically darken images when those associated characters aren't speaking, specifically for layered image formatted ones. I do know that using the matrixcolor ATL works on layered images, but right now I'd have to manually assign that matrix li...

Re: Counting the length of a character name

That is so weird then! Anytime I've tried something like: if who is not None: if len(who) <=5: $ nameshort = True else: $ nameshort = False window: id "namebox" style "namebox" text who id "who" it won't update my variable. (and yes it's defined before this)

Re: Counting the length of a character name

... I want to count how long a character's name is so that I can use that to display appropriately-sized nameboxes without having to define a namebox image for each speaking character. ... Try to use Frame() as a background of the namebox instead of an image, so it will stretch/shrink automatically...

Re: Counting the length of a character name

Yeah, for some reason no matter what I do the len() function refuses to count the "who" variable. It doesn't work for "what" either.

Re: Ren'Py 7.4.4 Released

Hi there!
Unfortunately this release still has the issue I had in the previous one where called screens (not with show but call) are skippable with the skip button or holding ctrl.

Re: Ren'Py 7.4.3 Released

I'm not sure if it's just me, but after the update all my screens that I call with call screen can now be skipped through with the ctrl key / the skip button when previously that wasn't allowed.

Re: Ren'Py 7.4.0 Released

I'm a little confused how the python 2/3 compatibility mode works, how exactly do you set it up and what can be used with it?
