The define command is analogous to changing a variable's value but only works at runtime. I heard it's more robust. Anyway, use $g = ... in your labels and it should work. So like this for example?: $g = Character("Grant", color="#ffffff", kind=stw, what_outlines=my_g, show_custom_who_background="N...

Actually, would it also be possible to also change the name boxes for the different characters (to plain versions) using an if statement or something? *EDIT* Here's what I've tried: define narrator = Character(None, what_outlines=my_n) define stw = Character(None, show_two_window=True) define k = Ch...

Styles aren't part of savegames, so if you change a style mid-game, the preferences will be reset every time you load a game. What you CAN do is make a separate style and apply a variable to determine which one to use. You make a good point. However, it isn't hard to save a variable eg "style_numbe...

You're right - I have two versions of my script and had it defined in both of them - thanks for your help

I'd like to add the option to select a second, plain textbox to my novel in the preferences screen. Is this possible? If so, how would I accomplish it? I can't find any documentation on the subject.

Thanks,

Did you re-download them? Re-extracting isn't enough - the file on the server has changed. Yep, from the link you PMed me. Fixed Ren'Py not starting, but it still crashes when I try to save. I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred. While running game code: File "renpy/common/00action_file.rpy...

Hi Tom,

This doesn't seem to fix the first issue - I tried re-extracting the 'lib' files but that hasn't helped.

'PicklingError' haunts on me in a game created by 6.99.4 (http://lemmasoft.renai.us/forums/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=32466). What is your ren'py version? edit: btw, "None" should be None if you want to disable user save folder. It was whatever the latest prerelease build was a couple of weeks ago - I tri...

This didn't used to happen, but at the moment, when trying to save, the game crashes and I get the following error: I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred. While running game code: File "renpy/common/00action_file.rpy", line 261, in __call__ renpy.save(fn, extra_info=save_name) PicklingError:...

Putting it in an init block fixed it - cheers!

Hi all,

I have a problem loading a save at any point after the timer function has been activated (see attached). I'm currently using 'hide' to stop it but I'm guessing that's not sufficient if it's still causing issues with loading half a novel later >_<

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Hi team, Just thought I'd let you know that the novel will be available on Steam in a few hours with some exclusive features and content. More information is available on the official site: http://alwaysthesamebluesky.com/ and here's a link to the store page: http://store.steampowered.com/app/363410...

Thanks Tom, noted.
