Re: [UNRESOLVED] I need a way to become a Ren'py Style & Text_Style expert within 60 minutes tops, please help.

If you know what you are doing, styling can take as little as a few minutes. To be fair, I'll eventually reach that point, but it will take a very long time. I know what you mean, after using it over & over & over & over, eventually, I'll get it, but it would be great if that time spent can be allo...

Would be totally helpful if there is, but not at the moment.
Your best bet is to just resort to other game engines, use Unity or Unreal.
You forgot the link to their styling tools.

Re: Why does setting a style to a bar cause the bar to disappear completely? [brand new renpy project]

The fix: style someStyle: → style someStyle is bar: The problem: start project with working code first. Point mouse at the bar and press Shift+I. Find bar in displayables list and notice that it uses "bar" style. Click on that style. Notice which stlyle properties it defines, and your style doesn't...

[SOLVED] Why does setting a style to a bar cause the bar to disappear completely? [brand new renpy project]

EDIT: When you set a style to a bar, it needs to have these minimum parameters, or else it won't know what bar images to use: this works.... screen test50(): bar: value 100 range 100 style "i_hate_coding_styles____where_is_the_gui" style i_hate_coding_styles____where_is_the_gui: left_bar Image("gui/...

[SOLVED] What is the official correct, renpy way of triggering an animation on click, in game loop/call screen?

EDIT: I'm going to be as bold at to claim this is the ONLy way to trigger an animation on click in Ren'py, and perhaps it is the official way? There is no documentation anywhere that explains how to trigger an animation on click in the renpy docs. Okay, this is currently the only way that I know of...

[UNRESOLVED] I need a way to become a Ren'py Style & Text_Style expert within 60 minutes tops, please help.

EDIT: Styles, in its current design is extremely time consuming. There needs to be a GUI, or else styling in ren'py will continue to be excessively and pointlessly difficult. If you visit the ren'py discord, you'll see people constantly struggling with styles, getting things to look how they want. T...

Re: On Screen Navigation Buttons

It's not a strange request at all. Almost all ren'py games fit into two categories: 1) Traditional visual novel (very linear, show some dialogue, show menu, make decision, repeat, eventually reach end game) 2) point & click (I call this non-linear, even though ultimately it has an end. You can move ...
