Re: Using a Screen Inside of a Function gives 'Not Defined' error

Since you’re inside a Python function, you need to use the Python function to show your screen

Re: Coloring hyperlinks

No worries. Sometimes it’s Just a question of stumbling on the right combination of keywords.

Good luck with it!

Re: Will config.replace_text affect performance?

As Imperf3kt indicates, you CAN put Unicode characters directly into Ren’py scripts if your editor understands UTF8-encoded files. Alternately, if you want to stick with ASCII-encoded files, you can use Unicode escapes - if you put \u2014 inside a string, it will be rendered as an em dash. The backs...

Re: Create an animation with time parameters

You’re missing the point - he wants to be able to vary the times on an invocation-by-invocation basis, not have them hard coded.

There may be magic I don’t know, but the only way I know how to do this is with a custom Displayable.

Yes, of course, you DO have to watch out for those “curly quotes” some editors will try to foist off on you... 😄

Re: Double quotation marks or single?

Without knowing what kinds of problems you’ve had that were fixed by changing quote types, it’s hard to advise you. Ren’py is Python-based, and in most cases, Python is agnostic as to which quote types you use. (Unless you’re embedding quotes inside quoted strings.). Seems unlikely it would be the e...

Re: Can't build distribution because of large data sets

Ok, here’s one more thought. It’s ugly, but it might work. Suppose that you put the data sets into non-executable files and loaded the data at runtime. (Delay in the launch process, I know.) Then build the game WITHOUT those files included. Unzip the result, add the files to the game directory, re-z...

Re: Can't build distribution because of large data sets

Bummer. Well, I guess you could PM PyTom and see if there’s a setting somewhere that is constraining how much memory the packager can use, and whether it’s possible to tweak it. Past that, IDK...

Re: Can't build distribution because of large data sets

What about moving the data out of rpy files and over into pure Python files (.py)? That might eliminate the need for Ren’py to try to swallow all that data.

Re: Save Data carrying over across games (Persistent data?)

Close, but not quite. Your variable has to be on the “mp” object in order to end up in the multipersistent store

Code: Select all

$mp.ep1text = True
$mp.save()

Code: Select all

if mp.ep1text:

Re: Alternate Function Support on IOS

I’ve never used this feature, but if it’s not working, I suggest that you open an issue over on GitHub - that’s the surest way to make sure it gets looked at.

Android keystore

I'm doing the coding for several games in parallel, for several different organizations. When I set up rapt to do an Android port, it wanted the name of the organization. How do I handle the fact that I'm working for more than one? Replace the keystore when I switch to different projects? Different ...
