Re: Can you change the "auto" property of imagebuttons to have two states share the same image?

Yes, you can use this configuration variable to do what you want. Something like that: Thanks a lot! I knew how to do it for individual buttons, but I wanted a solution that works on a larger scale, and doesn't require a lot of work on a wide scale, I had no idea how to do that. I am using the &quo...

Can you change the "auto" property of imagebuttons to have two states share the same image?

What I mean is that I'd like a "selected" or "hovered" imagebutton to use the "image_hover.png" displayable in either case, and for this behaviour to work with "auto", so that I don't have to manually add this behaviour to each button. I saw that " config...

Re: Alternative to modifying config variables after init?

Did you check documentation page on mouse cursors? https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/mouse.html You can easily create a dynamic cursor and set default_mouse to whatever you like. config.mouse_displayable = MouseDisplayable('gui/pointerA.webp', 9, 10).add("item_use", DynamicImage(""...

Alternative to modifying config variables after init?

So, I recently decided to try and update to Ren'py 7.5.3, and I discovered some of the UI elements I used are no longer viable. Specifically, I made it so that items which could be used on the environment would change the cursor to one that would look like said item, and disable the save menu from b...

Re: Is it possible to access the default value of an array after it has changed?

You definitely should use a dictionary here. It's perfectly made for it. Use a simple internal word as the dictionary key (e.g. "homecoming") and it's very easy to check if this quest exists. Or updating data of this quest. Checking for the length of the array here is less manageable. My ...

Re: Is it possible to access the default value of an array after it has changed?

What is the array you have, and what changes do you want to make to it? There are a couple of possible answers: 1) If it's fixed content that doesn't change during play, just create it with 'define' instead of 'default'. Then it won't be written to the save file and when you update the code, you'll...

Re: Is it possible to access the default value of an array after it has changed?

Well, you could easily just check for the length of the "array" (in this case actually called a list) or parts of its contents. And you could define a "new_array" and just keep the old default one. default array = [1, 2, 3] default new_array = [1, 2, 3, 4, "newquest"] ...

Re: Is it possible to access the default value of an array after it has changed?

Is the array constant over a game or does it change when the player progresses? (If it changes, you have to know what it could look like.) You can always check for the current value of a variable after the player loads a game via the special label "after_load": # renpy jumps here after lo...

Is it possible to access the default value of an array after it has changed?

Specifically, I was wondering about updating an array between versions of a game. Let's say the default value for the array is [0,1,2] in version 0.1 and [0,1,2,3,4] in version 0.2. Is it possible to compare the saved array size with the new default one, and if they are different, appending the new ...

Question on the "about" screen

This is a question about legality and the will of the developer. Basically, I'd like to know if the dev cares whether I show it or not and if it would be illegal to hide it. I ask because I have seen games without the "about" page in them, and it got me wondering. That's the kind of inform...

questions about displaying images and layered images

I was wondering if it's possible to set the attribute of a layered image using a variable. I tried something like: show image [var]: But it shows "image unknown attribute small" ("small" being the attribute I was actually trying to use). When I use the "small" attribute...

Is it possible to use the dialogue box to show tooltips?

Specifically, I was considering the possibility to show extra info in the dialogue box when hovering choices (for example, if a choice needs a deeper explanation, or if I want to show the next few lines of dialogue the protagonist would say if the option is selected.
