Ideally you'd declare the dictionary with all the values outside of a label, and that way the engine knows exactly how much memory to allocate. I think that adding stuff to it on the fly might have unintended consequences. Regardless, in terms of space it should be no issue at all. Saving a bunch of...

self.text.get_time() is the time it takes for slow text to do its thing.

Ahhhh that's what it's doing. So it's the same as + 1.0/(_preferences.text_cps / len(what)). It's working as intended now. Thanks!

I'm trying to obtain the exact value of time that renpy waits in autoplay mode before advancing text. I looked in the source files and I believe the bit of code that determines this is here from behavior.rpy: def event(self, ev, x, y, st): if self.afm_length and renpy.game.preferences.afm_time and r...

Are you trying to rebind game_menu and hide_window keys in keymap? Check the keymap documentation. In trying that out I realized I had some old code to do this, but it wasn't working because it was in a python block instead of init python. For future reference for other folks, this is what you want...

By default, right-click (and all other inputs associated with the game_menu key) will trigger opening the save menu. This is easy enough to tweak on a menu by menu basis - you simply give the game_menu key a different action on that screen's code - but there's one edge case, which is when you're ing...

I ended up doing this with a DynamicDisplayable and it works great. One of the original wishlisted nuances isn't working - the one about restarting the text on changing text speed - but I think I'm fine with that. It might have looked janky to have the text restart a bunch as you moved the slider an...

I'm working on a text speed preview feature for the settings menu and have the core components working, but have some major bugs that I'm having a lot of trouble ironing out. The basic functionality is meant to be: String of text appears with the current text speed, waits a fraction of a second, and...

Hi, I'm Kuro! I'm taking a break from my current big project to make a new Nanoreno novel. Current it's me handling the direction/illustration/BG/programming/writing, a GUI artist, and a co-writer/editor. We're sorely missing a composer to give the VN some sound (ideally 2-3 tracks). :p If you know ...

Seems like that should work, yep. Give it a whirl and see.

ps: That if/else statement could just be:

Worth mentioning that bitmap fonts by nature can't make use of renpy's tech to automatically resize text and have it look always crisp.

I too have been eager for this functionality for a long while but I don't know if it's in the plans yet.

Inside the say screen you can identify what character is speaking and change what assets you display by doing something like this: define m = Character("Mary") define j = Character("Jim") screen say: ... window: id "window" if who == "Mary": background "mary_textbox.png" elif who == "Jim": backgroun...

For a long while now I've been trying to find out how to apply ATL to the textbox transitions in order to be able to do cooler textbox show and hide animations like what you find in Persona 4 , Danganronpa , Rondo Duo , and some other RPGs with visual novel conversation elements. Past searching and ...

enumarate() totally did the trick. Thank you so much!

I'm honestly not sure how else to title this. Here's some sample code of the conundrum. Say I have a stack of buttons like so: screen somescreen: vbox: for i in range(1, n): textbutton _(str(i)) action Function("printposition",x) init -2 python: def printposition(x): print x And when I press a butto...

action FileSave(1, page="auto") As far as I know, this doesn't work. Normally you have to first change file page with FilePage(), then access the slots normally with FileSave() and FileLoad(). But even that I'm not being able to get working here - it's retaining the first FilePage() you initially d...
