Re: Directx not available

OK, wow, the creator of Ren'Py is accessible? I picture them in a castle in the clouds. I PMd him, and if I get an answer I'll post the solution here.
Thanks again!

Re: Directx not available

Thanks Imperf3kt. I am guessing the PyTom is a regular contributor here? Is it ok/proper etiquette to just PM the person out of the blue?

Re: Directx not available

I'm bumping this, sorry. I will only do it once, and then give up. Crazy though, that I just can't make renpy work anymore. I will miss it :(

Re: Directx not available

Thanks for you response Imperf3kt! I did try that and the game crashes with the same error even before I get to choose the renderer. The uncaught exception is occurring very early, on line 95, in pygame_sdl2.display.init, which is I guess before it gets to the renderer selection portion of he code. ...

Re: Directx not available

I am blown away I seem to be the only one experiencing this issue. My system is up to date and everything seems to be working fine. I reinstalled my video card drivers, I uninstalled python and renpy and re-downloaded renpy and still get the directx error. All my regular Steam games work. Everything...

Directx not available

I used to run renpy on this computer, but now every time I try to load a game it fails to start giving me the following traceback related to failing to find DirectX. DirectX is installed and works fine. My graphics card is NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080. It fails both when I start a renpy game, and when I ...

menu display

Hi all, when I use the function "menu" to give the player choices, the menu options by default are hard to read: they’re light gray text on white background until you select them. So you have to hover over each to be able to read it. I want to change it to darker text so that you can read ...

variable consistency between episodes

Hi all, I know that often when authors release their games in episode format, sometimes the new episode breaks the saves from the older episodes. I don't want that to happen with my game. The character is going to have a lot of statistics that get developed through the episodes. If I introduce a new...

Re: Free GUI packs [CC BY-NC]

I'd like to use this for a game I'm making. It would be posted on Patreon and we expect to make some money from donations. I guess that counts as commercial purpose. How do I get your permission to use it that way?

images and character definitions outside labels, but variables inside. Why?

Hi all, I find that my character definitions and image definitions can be done before the start label, (outside of a label) but my variables need to be set within a lable on the main path to work properly. I guess I will just make the start label a block of variable settings, and then move on from t...

using multiple script files to seperate scenes

Hi everyone, I'm new to renpy but not completely new to python. I'm experienced coding with Matlab, and so Python feels familiar to me, but I still need to learn some of the language differences. Anyway, I am writing a multi-scene script that will also be multi episode. To keep things organized and ...
