Can't answer you directly, but if your presplash only displays for a few seconds, a lack of progress bar won't matter too much : if the wait is not enough for the player to notice he's waiting, telling him just that by displaying a progress bar can be considered counter productive. I mean, the vast ...

.pyc (and I suppose .rpyc ) files are just compiled code that your computer executes. The initial state of your game is store in save files, but those are not executable code. If you cleaned up everything properly, your save files should work properly with your new (cleaned up) code. Of course, YMM...

I'm not sure what you are trying to achieve (idk Rick and Morty, I just looked at this video a few seconds). Aren't you just describing a visual novel, aka Ren'Py's core feature ? If not (sorry), can you provide a demo, and describe what you expect ? (maybe it is in this video, but I didn't see it, ...

Are you using gregorian calendar, or a custom (fantasy) calendar ? Even if you use a fantasy calendar, as long as your calendar works like ours (365.25 day, 30/31 days per month, yadda yadda), you can just increase your "day of year" counter, and use use Python's datetime module to make th...

Ren'Py is free software. It means that if the feature you want is so simple, you're free to contribute, add this oh-so-basic-it's-2021-y'know feature and help everyone a fraction as much as you are currently helped. If you are serious about your need, there are less contemptous ways to express it. F...

It might be a hassle, but if you really worry about the original authors opinion, you can always have a talk with them, or even send them a (probably censored) preview of how you'll use their work in your game. In most cases it's possible to find their contact info.

I have to write two lines of code just for this to work. It's not the worst thing in the world, and I'd rather have it than nothing. But if possible, one line would be beautiful ... python: def your_beautiful_one_liner(layer='say_screen'): renpy.show_layer_at(at_list=[retract], layer) renpy.show_la...

I was thinking about using an imagemap!! I just wasn't sure if that was what the best option would be. An alternative to imagemaps in your case is imagebuttons. You can check this tutorial out (but download it from this post ), compare it to imagemaps, and judge which solution is most suited to you...

Did you solve your issue? If not, you should show us your files, at least game/interface.rpy . It seems your trying to pass a boolean variable as a string (your variable is a string, renpy expects a string), but I can't say more than that. Maybe try to write str(yourvariable) line 422 of game/interf...

Not sure if it's solved or not, but just in case : here is the documentation you need.
Provided character_chosen is your string variable:

as simple as that
thanks!

I'm not sure what you intend to achieve, but if you'd like to discuss different moves based on an initial chess situation, you could maybe use an imagemap . Use an image of your whole chess board, and put hotspots on the squares/pieces you have something interesting to say : the player hovers/click ...

Isn't the syntax as follows? old "[weekday!t]Monday" new "[weekday!t]Понедельник" As I understand the documentation , it seems the syntax you are using is meant to differentiate between labels that seems the same but for which translation can vary depending on the context they ar...

That's ... exactly what I needed !
Plus, your solution (is that it?) seems to give me the ability to implement in the future many different animations I could control directly.

Many, many thanks @Ocelot ! I owe you one !

Okay, I at least understood the root of one of my two problems : Character mc has a placeholder instead of an image because Ren'Py doesn't enforce any strict coupling between characters and images. The characters talk, the images are displayed, not the other way around. You can display any combinati...
