Thank you, it works like a charm!
I LOVE Ren'Py. It seems like there's a solution to every problem a dev might have, even it is really esoteric!

When I zoom a picture show picture zoom 5 the pixels are interpolated to make the picture looks nicer and less \"blocky\". That's fine and total standard. However, in my next game there will be some retro computer game and for that purpose I need \"blocky'" graphics where the pix...

Thank you, that works even a bit better: there were some minor issues with the other method when combining it with auto highlight (by Daniel Westfall) causing flickering in some special cases. With the define tag_transitions this issue disappeared. Perfect!

Code: Select all

transform fadeinout:
    on show, replace:
        alpha 0.0
        easein_cubic 0.5 alpha 1.0
    on hide, replaced:
        easeout_cubic 0.5 alpha 0.0

Fantastic! this works!
Thank you so much! (All of you, of course!)

Thank you very much for your help! The first idea would be a (slightly tedious) workaround, but the tag idea looks even better. I have a stupid problem though: how do I define the transform dissolve ? I need to have a dictionary like: define config.tag_transform = {"a":dissolve} But this g...

Wow, that looks fantastic. Thank you so much for your help! However, is there any way to do this without using this say attribute structure? One reason is that I would have to rewrite the whole game. The other is that this is limiting the valid transitions, e.g. here: show a happy at left show b hap...

When changing a character sprite expression like this: show a happy "Ha ha!" show a sad "Sniff" There is no transition between the pics which can look jarring. Adding with dissolve after every such transition, however, is cumbersome. Is there a way to make this automatically? Pre...

Thank you, that was the solution! (Feeling dumb now...)

Hello, I have a question about editing text in a screen: I'd like to make note_song[note_editing] editable. ( note_song is a list.) I've tried this here: input value DictInputValue('note_song', note_editing, default=True, returnable=False) But I got this error: File "game/main.rpy", line 2...

If you convert a lossy file like MP3 to another lossy file format, like ogg vorbis, the quality will still suffer. The effect is called generation loss. Yes, of course, that's logical. As I produced the files with Udio and Suno, I couldn't chose a lossless formal or ogg as starting format anyway, b...

Meanwhile, it works. I've downloaded ffprobe and put it into the game folder and then defined this Python function: init python early: import os foldername=config.basedir+"/game/" import subprocess def get_audio_length(file_path): try: # Path to ffprobe executable ffprobe_path = foldername...

That would be the last resort. It would be better if I could get the length directly dfrom the file, though. (Moreover, it's more difficult to listen to ogg files on the Mac (need to run VLC every time).)
Btw: For some mp3 files the duration measurement of Ren'Py works.

Thank you, but I'm too stupid to get this running. I've downloaded the mutagen folder into my game folder. Then I use from mutagen.mp3 import MP3 to import it in the game (in init python ). Then I use the routine MP3.get_audio_length(filename) , but I get an error: AttributeError: type object 'MP3' ...

renpy.music.get_duration( ) has problems with mp3-files (see documentation). Is there any not-overly-complicated workaround for that? I would also be happy to calculate the duration of a song as a file on disk, as this would be fine for my application as well (I remember there is something like thi...

Thank you so much, that helped a lot!
