Re: Removing white backgrounds from sprites?

If you sprites have black outlines: 1) Fuzzy select the white areas 2) Select > Grow, a few pixels at most, one or two or more 3) Color > Color to Alpha If you don't have black borders, use smaller "grow" radius: it will make the borders slightly translucent, but it's a cheap and easy way ...

Re: Ren'Py 6.12.1+ Planning Thread

About image tags, my old suggestion from here http://lemmasoft.renai.us/forums/viewto ... 53#p115553 is still apropos.

It would be nice to have a tag-definition system with indentation instead of repetition.

And the "update tag" stuff was already mentioned.

Re: Multiple Language Support, and Code/Data Separation Issu

A very useful tool if you're going to do it that way would be an function in the launcher that generates a "blank" translation file with the original language entries, where you just replace all the text with your new translation. But man, doing a translation file for anything but simple r...

Re: Ren'Py 6.12 Development Thread

I'm rather happy about the drag and drop system. The game I'm cloning had one instance of that, and I'd started wondering what I'd do about it. :)

Re: help with game name :)

You could name it after something thematic from the main characters; like, if they have three different signature tools or weapons, you could go "Dagger, Hook & Claw". "The Three [Nouns] of [Place name]": "Sisters", "Thieves", "Shadows" of "...

Re: about screen language

Obviously one problem even I can spot is indentation: "frame" should be subordinate to "window".

Code: Select all

screen bloop:
    window id "bleep":
           frame id "blaap":

Re: Creating different dialog boxes for different characters

This is possible. The easiest way *I* can think of (I'm a novice so wait around until someone else gives better advice) is simply to replace the current "say" screen with a new one. http://www.renpy.org/doc/html/screens.html#screen-language The "say" statement (which is also the ...

Re: What's the most efficient way to do chars with many outf

Now enjoy coding your 10 000+ line long game by calling those insanely complicating sprite tags each time you want to show a sprite. *hint hint Pytom please make the system more efficient* I'm actually open to suggestions about this. Here's a couple quick ones: Have image tags that can use indentat...

Re: Website Redesign

Do you have any way for people to report typos and faulty code examples, except just bugging you about it or making a bug report? A bug report would seem a bit overkill for "you forgot a colon in this code snippet".

Re: seal unlocked

to do a couple of tiers of endings, where you have to unlock the next tier of endings by finishing all the earlier tier's endings (which you can play in whatever order you want), culminating finally in a True Ending and a proquel epilogue. Yeah, but if it's a mystery, is it so important that all of...

Re: seal unlocked

Unlocking paths by completing other paths makes sense when you have a story to tell, and that story has a bunch of mysteries and secrets you want to ease in as the player replays the games through. It also makes sense when the paths are of varying level of epicness, and you don't want the player to ...
