Re: Differentiating the Namebox

I managed to get a working implementation. It involves the following: * A new keyword arg that actually works: "show_who_window_style" As in define AA = Character('Quizzical', show_two_window = True, show_who_window_style="say_who_window2") * In options.rpy, setup the style you want to refer to (af...

Re: custom mouse cursor code

to use the displayable either show it using show expression custom_cursor(cursorlist) or if it's part of a screen, use add custom_cursor(cursorlist) an example would look like this: cursorlist = [["default_cursor.png", "default", (0, 0)], ["eye_cursor", (50, 50, 50, 50), (0, 0)]] Hello!

Re: Permission Denied when building distributions?

Where did you put the Ren'Py folder? Did you put it in the Program Files folder on your hard drive? If that's the case, you might want to move it to your desktop or to your documents folder. Trying to run things from the Program Files folder is difficult because that's where your computer installs e...

Text History question

Hello! I came across this text history code , and it worked wonderfully! However, I have a few questions about how to modify it further: 1) How can I make the text history screen appear from a text history button that's under the dialogue box? The way it's set up right now, the screen only appears w...

Re: Difficulties with titles and Characters...

To make a natural, believable character you have to make them a person. I don't think that can happen 'logistically', you can't just chart a living, breathing character's emotions by thinking about it for long enough (or worse, by conjuring up a tragic backstory that explains away all their feeling...

Outline your story in 30 minutes

Here's a great writing exercise that I found online! It says it's for novels, but I think the questions and advice are definitely applicable to writing for VNs.

Re: Using ATL to smoothly change sprite facial expressions

Watch the template game again. The box does disappear with every transition. Oh! It does! ^^;; I suppose there's no current workaround for this issue then, is there? Maybe PyTom can come up with something...? I tried nestling a ConditionSwitch inside a LiveComposite, but that didn't work out either...

Re: Using ATL to smoothly change sprite facial expressions

Sadly, I wasn't able to solve that little problem. -- Renpy is set so that transitions always 'cover' the textbox layer -- making it --and everything in it-- disappear. "window show" puts the textbox on the top layer AFTER the transition so it looks like it never left, when in fact it's actually be...

Re: Using ATL to smoothly change sprite facial expressions

You can put the line $ _window_during_transitions = True at the top of your code or, use window show before the transition is executed. That worked! Thank you! ^^ Unfortunately, the side image and the text in the text box don't stay put; they pop onto the screen when the dissolve transition occurs ...
