As a followup to the conversation in the discord, and in accordance with Barsunduk above me, I'm also having problems with retain_after_load() not working in newer versions. I've been using it as part of the pink engine to ensure you can save during RPG map segments. However, as of version 8.1.2+, r...

Heya, I'm learning how to use this engine for a mod. And my question is, what type of Custom Properties is for the values of the tiles?

The move_to and move_from Custom Properties shown in this tutorial are of the 'string' type.

Hey there, always good to see interest. This issue is caused by trying to run the pink engine on older versions of Ren'py. The Pink Engine is written in python 3, so requires a ren'py version of at least 8.0 Thank you so much! It fixed the sound channel error asap. I'm still getting the continue bu...

Amazing work! This looks really great so far. One issue is that I can't create any projects with this nor open the projects you provided in renpy. When I try to open the quest for the button I get this error: I'm sorry, but errors were detected in your script. Please correct the errors listed below...

Tutorial 4: Cutscenes in the Pink Engine Hey everyone! It’s been a long while since I last published a tutorial for the engine, so we’re long overdue for getting some proper explanation on how to set up a cutscene in the pink engine. This tutorial will teach you how to make NPCs move during pink en...

Hello! This is super interesting and I'll definitely be playing around with it. I wanted to ask - with the way the sprites/characters are set up, is there a way to let players customize characters (aka, skin tone, hair styles, etc.)? Thank you! You could let players choose between predefined sprite...

I haven't posted in this thread for quite a while, but in that time, the development of the pink engine has not stood still. The entire engine was overhauled so that it now far, far smoother than it did before. Tilesets and sprite collections now work fine with their source images archived. A third ...

However, when I get to the line where you open the target map, I get an error saying no JSON object could be decoded, and that's it? Hrm, that's an error that would be thrown if there's a syntax issue with one of the .json files. Since the map and tileset .json files are generated in Tiled, the cul...

It's unlikely, but it might be that the style class has a custom comparator function that does something weird when confronted with a comparison with None. Try using if getattr(style, style_name).xpos is None: (which directly compares the value to None, rather than asking the comparator function to ...

Hey everyone, I'm working on using maps created in Tiled as interactive areas in Ren'py. I've had a functional product for a while, but have recently been looking into my code's fundamentals so as to integrate more functionality from Tiled. This includes opaque layers, zoomed tiles, and, most pertin...

Thank you, it's indeed come quite a ways. I'm not in the RPGMaker community. I've played around with it a little when I was younger, but never actually released anything.

I have sneakily edited several of my previous posts to remove an error: PC and NPC sprite collections should not have a move_from property set. All tutorials now reflect this point. note: This tutorial was updated on 2021/09/24 for pink engine version 0.11.2 Tutorial 3: Sprite Collections and NPCs S...

Hey everyone. I’ve been sick for a bit, so the releases have cooled down for a short while. However, now I’m back. Today, I bring you a brand new tool for the Pink Engine: the Sprite Collection Editor. Since our next tutorial was gonna be focused on sprite collections (such as NPCs), I thought it’d ...

Okay, I announced that the NPC tutorial would come next, but we’re actually gonna go on a small sidetrack first. Not too long after the pink engine was first released, I also released a tool for it by the name of ‘autotile translator’. The autotile translator was created to turn RPGMaker-style autot...

Tutorial 2: More Map Design In the first tutorial, we covered how to create a very basic pink engine game. In this second tutorial, we will expand our game with a second map, add various bits of furniture to our map, will force the player character to undergo a growth spurt, and add shadows. note: ...
