Re: Loading new images from disk while game is running

Oh I think I finally got it! Took a while of digging through documentation, but I've finally realised that renpy.show() doesn't just have to use the name of an image registered by renpy.image(). If you use the optional 'what' argument you can pass a displayable directly to renpy.show() and bypass th...

Re: Loading new images from disk while game is running

Thank you! The news module in particular is a great example - im.Data() is a function I hadn't seen before, and that makes some of what I'm doing a lot easier. I'm starting to understand the different ways in which images are handled better. So I guess the main issue I'm having now is - I can make a...

Disabling Left-Click Advance in Lieu of Hyperlink Navigation

I'm experimenting with writing a Ren'Py parser for TweeCode - a wholesale solution that would allow code from Twine to be imported and used without further modification. To this end I'm trying to set up a system that largely avoids labels in their traditional Ren'Py usage and instead parses its own ...
