Re: How to know first letter of renpy.input?

Even though it's useful, i meant knowing what the first character is (for example "a" in "animal")

Ok, so I want to check the first letter of an input.

Conceal something written on string

So I was reading a tutorial on how to do this but the "mask" thing doesn't work as expected. Followed the tutorial from here: https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/input.html And tried implementing it in this code: $ name = renpy.input("Username", allow="abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789_.", length=20) ...

You can edit history list entries. For example:

Code: Select all

"Hi! I couldn't wait to see you again!"
$ _history_list[-1].what = "I hate you. Wish you were dead."
"If you check history now, you will notice that the last entry changed"
Thank you! It works like a charm.

How to change text in the History screen like in DDLC?

I was wondering how this could be done. I'm on the middle of making a short game with Ren'Py and I wanted to break the fourth wall a bit, y'know?

If someone knows, thank you!

Re: Ren'Py code corrupt after changing name of laptop

try this. 1. Do winkey + r 2. Type %appdata%/Renpy/backups then enter. look for your game folder, there should be a backup of your scripts there. Also, renpy always reminds you to backup your scripts before launching your game, if you haven't noticed. either do that manually or use version control ...

Ren'Py code corrupt after changing name of laptop

I was trying to change my new laptop's user name but in the process I lost a lot of information. When I got back most of it, I realized that most of my code was corrupt, and the screens.rpy file is completely empty.

I don't want to throw away weeks of work, please help.
