I had this happen once. I think this can happen if your console gets overwhelmed with content, since the console tries to save previous lines. Basically, if you have a series of errors that generate a lot of lines of output, you can overwhelm an array somewhere, I think. As I recall, the way I got o...

Rather than directly updating the value, why not call a function to update it and do the checks at the same time?

If your game defines a label called “after_load”, Ren’py calls it after loading all the data from a save, but before executing any statements after the point where the save occurred. So you have access to all the data, and can make any changes you need to. When you “return”, then Ren’py resumes the ...

There are a couple of aspects to this. First, if necessary, you can use “after_load” to fix up an old save in a new game. Store a variable that will tell you what version of the game created the save, and you can write “conversion code” if necessary. Second, and this is just personal style, I try to...

If you set up an “image” to reference your movie file, you can use renpy.seen_image(the_movie_image) to determine if the user already has seen the movie or not. You could use a screen that shows the movie image, optionally shows the “skip” button, and takes a duration. Call the screen with the movie...

The concept of “pure” in Ren’py is “if called with the same inputs, you’ll always get the same output.” It implies that the item (function/object/whatever) doesn’t have any internal state that affects its behavior. I know that PyTom uses that information (pure or not) as an optimization when doing t...

First, this sounds like a very invasive thing to be doing. However, this is almost certainly going to require platform-specific code. To determine if something is installed, well, you could look to see if the files are in the expected place. Checking to see if something is actually running is harder...

I don’t know if this has anything to do with it, but the SetLocalVariable function is marked as “not pure” in the Ren’py source code, while most other actions are marked as pure. So there may be something “special” about SetLocalVariable.

The problem with your “while” loop approach is that you’re building an expression as a string into “checkending”, but then your “If” is just looking at the string value itself. To take the approach you’re trying to do, you’d have to force Python to actually evaluate the string as an expression. In o...

32-bit support was dropped for Android, because all new Android apps have to be 64-bit. But AFAIK Ren’py still generates output compatible with 32-bit Windows and Linux systems.

Are you trying to have it look like the user clicks somewhere and dialog progresses as if the image map was still there? If so, you could call the (modal) screen, have it jump to the label, and have the label use a “scene” statement to put up the same background the screen uses. The screen will have...

When the action is taken that would return from the screen, you could use an array of actions, hiding the screen first, then returning. I use this as a way of having “called” screens disappear with a transition, since you can pass a transition to the Hide.

Instead of screen city_map_screen: python: if day > 2: renpy.show_screen("game_gui") imagemap: why not screen city_map_screen: if day > 2: use game_gui imagemap: "use" is the "screen language way" of having one screen include another screen. https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/screens.html#use

Either 8u201 or 8u202 should be fine. Note that two of those panels are for demos and samples - you don't want them. So you want the "Windows x64" package from either the first or third panels.

No, it's not that bad - I just wanted to make sure that I was heading in the direction that you wanted. The thing you have to deal with is that colors aren't specified by names - they're specified by codes. So you need to do something like what I've shown before. Essentially, I create two variables ...
