Prefix your styles with text_. underline -> text_underline.

Thank you, this worked perfectly! And thank you also for the screens tip.

Thank you for the answer! I'm not quite sure how to use it to solve my question, I probably just don't understand it. :oops: Nonetheless, I currently solved the problem like this: textbutton _([preferencestext]): activate_sound "audio/blip1.mp3" action ShowMenu("preferences") if not renpy.get_screen...

I'm using the default Main and Game Menu Screens. I've added hover_sound and activate_sound to the textbuttons. That works otherwise nicely, but the hover_sound activates also in cases where the hover colour does not. For example, if the user is on Preferences page and hovers over the menu textbutto...

Yes, got it to work, edited my reply above to show what I had missed. Thanks for the help!

define executes in init phase. Rest of code you wrote executes during normal script execution. Your code is equivalent to: Place all your code inside init block if you want it to execute during init phase. Thank you for the answer! Unfortunately I don't know how to do that in practice. What should ...

I'm trying to have a randomly selected audio file play while the player is at the main menu. However, for some reason I can't get the random selection to work there. The last option is always selected. Is renpy.random.randint not supposed to work inside options.rpy , or am I just making some daft mi...

Thank you both for the assessment, much appreciated!

I always recommend Ever17 -The Out of Infinity-, it is one of the best sci-fi stories I've read in any medium. Unfortunately the studio behind it has long been defunct, so tricky to find. Lucy - The Eternity She Wished For - was the first visual novel I ever read, and it originally convinced me that...

I have currently two different sprite styles, and I'd need to pick only one or the other. The sprite styles are as follows: Old sprite style: https://i.imgur.com/0ow2Hh4.jpg New sprite style: https://i.imgur.com/SuhJH4y.jpg To me, both sets have pros and cons. Old set looks a bit more "crude" and 3D...

Ah, so basically I need to replace the default item with my own solution? Thank you, I'll try out what you suggested.

Is it possible to add transition/animation for the default GUI items? For example, choice buttons: I'd like to have my choice_idle_background.png to fade out and simultaneously choice_hover_background.png to fade in when user hovers over a choice button, and the gui.choice_button_text_idle_color to ...

Thank you kindly for the answers, worked perfectly!

Just in case someone has the exact same problem I had, as my status was an integer, I had to make it a string first to get it work with the first solution:

show expression "status"+str(status)+".png"

This is probably a very daft question, but I couldn't find an answer anywhere. Is it possible to use a variable as part of Ren'Py statements, and if yes, how? For example, say that I have five status images (status1.png ... status5.png), and at times during the game I wish to show one that matches t...

Two more personalized replies still: It's a bit too late now, but for future, and for others, I have an idea. Try to ask artist to draw batch in stages. For example - sketches of all characters first, so you can check if they're similar in style. Then, lineart of all characters. This will also help ...

Is it not possible to get a different artist to complete the job in a sufficiently similar style? This is definitely a possibility, I'm currently trying to do this before ordering a third set, but so far no luck. Most artists don't seem to be interested in and/or comfortable trying to duplicate som...
