Re: How to execute this Python code using button action?

After some digging, I have found this demo from PyTom: https://patreon.renpy.org/news.html You'll have download the example zip file. This is nontrivial code to read for someone new to programming, but if you're up for it give it a shot. It's pretty close to what you want. Oh wow, this is actually ...

Re: How to execute this Python code using button action?

How would I go about running this in a background thread? I may or may not have just realized this issue until now!! there is a renpy.invoke_in_thread() function, but very little in the way of easily findable demos or examples of use. It should work: pass a function that sets a flag in renpy.store,...

Re: How to execute this Python code using button action?

Note too that most of the larger game distribution hubs (play/steam/itch etc) have their own updaters built in and they will do a much better job. If you are pursuing this your way, you should be thinking about running all this in a background thread anyway. You do not want to lock up your game whi...

Re: How to execute this Python code using button action?

@ _ticlock_ : Thank you! I tried your code, but I think hell_oh_world is correct. Well, I don't know if this is related but using your code the game becomes somewhat laggy? Going from the splashscreen to the main menu takes much longer than before, and clicking on buttons has a delay. @ hell_oh_worl...

How to execute this Python code using button action?

Hello there, I should probably start this by saying that I have absolutely no knowledge of how Python or RenPy works, I've only started learning a few days ago so please bear with me! I'm using the code below to implement a feature for the game to check for updates. Note only "check" for u...

Re: Show the date of a save only when hovered

My first idea is to change the color of the text to transparent, so it is not "hidden", but simply not visible. If you want to actually hide it, probably it will be more complicated because the space of the missing date and time will change the size of the button itself. So, try adding to...

Show the date of a save only when hovered

Hello there, I am extremely new to Ren'py, so sorry if the question is super noobish. I have my save/load screen customized to some degree (changed a couple of fonts, etc) and now it just seems a bit too crowded. In order to open up some space, I'm trying to remove the date and time text that goes u...
