Hi, all! I've got a little thing I've been playing with and I was hoping for a little help. Inspired by some text games I've seen, I was curious if I could customize Ren'Py's UI to have a scrolling NVL window with stylized text boxes. I have something that looks like this so far: text_window_1.jpg E...

No, can't say that I have. I don't think that method even occurred to me.

You really shouldn't create more dynamic images inside a function for dynamic images. What's the point? The function gets called after every interaction and you can calculate the changes of all the images it contains inside it. Also your dynamic images would be local variables, that won't get execu...

I tried it like this: # renpy will normally load those images automatically, and you can use their file names, but let's do it manually for clarity image body_pale = "images/avatar/pale.webp" image body_tan = "images/avatar/tanned.webp" image mask_one = "images/avatar/1p_msk...

This question is a bit of a follow-up to my post here : The suggestion from m_from_space was to use im.MatrixColor, but I was pretty sure that image manipulators were not the recommended way to go forward. Is there a way to use OpacityMatrix from inside a python function for a DynamicDisplayable? My...

Okay that's helpful. And it's possible with the suggestion I gave you. I would try the following: Thanks for the suggestion! I'm going to have to spend a little time with it and see how it works for me. # apply current opacity levels to masks (maybe there is a better way to apply opacity I don't kn...

I know what I'm trying to do is difficult to convey in text. I've got some images that I help will clear it up a bit more. I'm starting with the pale and tan images: Start Images.jpg I've got three mask images that I'm using for the tan-lines (though the third is technically just a solid color): 3 m...

Creating complex alpha masks in real-time? Ren’Py has advanced a lot since I last tackled this, and I was hoping someone here might be able to put me on the path towards a reasonably optimized way of doing this: I’ve been using a paper-doll system for the player character in my game where the charac...

Quick question: I've been making images that appear in front of menu options using the image text tag as described here: https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/text.html#text-tag-image g "Good to see you! {image=heart.png}{alt}heart{/alt}"g "Good to see you! {image=heart.png}{alt}heart{/alt}&...

Given the way I was doing it, I'm obviously unfamiliar... :lol: Can I get an example of how to do it with a dynamic image? ( Is this what we're talking about? ) My instinct was to do this: default avatar_directory = "mirror_full_2" image hair_front_green = Transform("/images/avatar/[a...

Ah, I missed a section. default avatar_directory = "mirror_full_2" layeredimage hair_front: if pc_hair_color == 1: ## brown "/images/avatar/[avatar_directory]/hair_[pc_hair_length]_brown.png" elif pc_hair_color == 2: ## blonde "/images/avatar/[avatar_directory]/hair_[pc_hair...

Any suggestion on what I'm doing wrong here? default avatar_directory = "mirror_full_2" layeredimage hair_front: if pc_hair_color == 1: ## brown "/images/avatar/[avatar_directory]/hair_[pc_hair_length]_brown.png" elif pc_hair_color == 2: ## blonde "/images/avatar/[avatar_dir...

Ah, okay. That gives me an idea of where to start researching. I've never been very clear on how Styles work (and I'm pretty sure I'm fighting against them with the way I've been trying to edit these windows... ).

I was wondering if anyone could give me some guidance, or if there were any tutorials out there for creating different “say” windows for different types of characters—or, at least, that’s what I think I’m looking for… Here’s a general idea of what I’m trying to accomplish. I’ve already managed to cr...

So I had an idea that interested me, but I have no clue on how to accomplish it. Thought maybe someone here could point me in the right direction. I was thinking about a sequence where the player is looking through a pair of binoculars. There would be a background image with points of interest on it...
