Finally finished my first visual novel with CG graphics, and also the first with secret scenes too. A side-story/sequel to No Regrets, this episode concentrates on the year long gap after Grendel Jinx's self-inflicted near-fatal tower accident. Grendel takes matters into her own hands to prevent her...

In which case, the upload ZIP option is probably best for you. The documentation for it certainly isn't great

Steam SDK provides a directory in \tools\ContentBuilder\content. This can have windows_content and perhaps linux_content and maybe mac_content directories as well.

These are where the programs are usually placed ready for uploading, and where you would unzip the build distributions from RenPy

If anyone would like to test my comedy/drama visual novel (especially for spelling and grammatical errors), that would be great !

Message me if you're interested !

It does have problems with some VN engines and with some users so... maybe...

You need to copy all your files (unzip them into a folder) and modify the "ContentRoot" to point to the folder. Once it's been upload (and all other parts completed), it then needs to be checked with Valve to be generally available, but after uploading, the developer account can download it in Steam

Have you tried disabling Steams in-game overlay ?

What you were looking for is this screen :

I setup something like the following batch file : @Echo Building Axiom ..\..\builder\steamcmd.exe +login "" "" +run_app_build_http ..\scripts\app_build_123455.vdf pause exit and the appropriate VDF files : app_build_123455.vdf "appbuild" { "appid" "123455" "desc" "The Mansion" // description for thi...

You've got two choices : Upload the file(s) as a ZIP file through the web interface or upload the files via a commandline interface. For the latter, you need to setup two sets of .VDF files that determine where everything goes, and something to run it.

I use a batch file to get everything uploaded

Ah, right. Fair enough

If you have the problem again, post the code !

You need to use $ achievement.grant

It'll say stuff like "sayer 'x' is not a valid command".

Have you got an example of the line ?

What sort of errors ? It works just fine with one simple command

Sometimes programs cant write (and read) to cloud based drives, especially if the control program (in this case OneDrive) isn't running.

Other problems include running out of disk space.

It would be best to compile on a fixed hard drive

I've figured out why now. Forward winding ignored the renpy.pause statement, and as there was an expression assignment before the character was actually positioned, it was being centred to the screen. So, get rid of the expression and it's sorted.
