Android - Movies not looping

I found that although working fine on my Windows machine, movie loops are not working when I build an Android distribution. The video plays once and then movies to the next action. Stripped right basic to the default project, problem can be recreated by building an Android release with below. label ...

Loading sounds from binary data instead of file

I've nearly completed development of my first renpy mystery game which I'm keen to share soon!. I'm trying to create a unique and personalised experience each time it's played by downloading various things from the my Web server and other Web sites. For example, it pulls in current global news which...

Re: Web Requests and Android

I did manage to get Requests working on Android. I updated the requests package and dependencies to those packages in the pytom news demo. I found the problem with the pytom news demo not working on android was this; CA_FILE = os.path.join(config.gamedir, certifi.where()) Android couldn't resolve th...

Re: Web Requests and Android

Thanks for the help I tried using urllib2 as you're done in your game. This is working well in Android for me too, so if I can't get "Requests" working, I could change my implementation to use this.. I did try doing an Android build of the sample "News Feed" game by pytom that lo...

Web Requests and Android

Hi folks, I'm after a little advice on web requests with Android. I am using the modified version of the python requests module for Ren'Py (https://github.com/renpytom/renpy-requests) to download some personalisation data and send to server for processing with a simple REST API. Later in the game, I...

Re: Displaying a caret whilst drawing

Hi kivik. THanks for tte help. Your approach makes sense. This is only at a specific point in the game so doing this via a screen would be fine. I'm pretty new to Renpy. The part i'm struggling with is #3 in your comment. specifically aligning the caret image to the character just rendered. I couldn...

Displaying a caret whilst drawing

Hello. Has anyone implemented anything like displaying a caret at the end of the text whilst renpy is typing text? I would like my game to type at the rate defined by the cps setting but display a caret (ideally flashing) after each character as it's being printed. e.g. "H█" "HE█"...

Re: Websocket

thanks - invoke_in_thread is working well. It actually is also working well for a basic Websocket implementation, using example chat server implementation from here https://github.com/dpallot/simple-websocket-server I'm currently using file-based polling so that the Main thread and the new thread ca...

Re: Websocket

I have discovered an issue with my polling implementation Using a timer action on a screen to call the function that does an http call or file read causes any text or input boxes to be cleared. I think what I need here is a call_in_new_context but that doesn't look like an option in screen language ...

Re: Websocket

Noted thanks Tom. With that advice, I'm considering either polling via HTTP request via a timer on a screen invoking a call, or using a simple websocket client outside of renpy which writes updates to file and have ren'py read the file, again polling via a timer on a screen invoking a call. Both of ...

Websocket

Hi there, I'm pretty new to Ren'Py but absolutely loving the flexibility of this engine, how rapidly one can develop a game and being able to extend with pure Python. I've been experimenting with Websockets but haven't been able to find any reference implementation. My requirement is for the game to...
