I am so confused by what's happening with my main menu textbuttons. So I have set specific X and Y positions for each of the buttons on my main menu, using this code: #=============================================================================== screen navigationAlt(): vbox: style_prefix "herpderp...

Have you tried this? https://renpy.org/doc/html/config.html#var-config.end_game_transition http://giphygifs.s3.amazonaws.com/media/Ow59c0pwTPruU/200.gif I swear I googled for it (I hope the effort I put into my original post shows I at least did try to figure this out on my own before whining to th...

So, I found a 13-year-old thread (this one: https://lemmasoft.renai.us/forums/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=1179) where someone had asked how to do this, but the answer that was listed there, from 2006, seems no longer to apply, which of course makes sense that things could have changed so dramatically since ...

Also, these do the exact same as using return (meaning, nothing at all, the game does return to the main menu but without any sort of transition): label quitToMenu: pause $ quick_menu = False with None $ renpy.transition(pixellate) $ MainMenu(confirm=False)() label quitToMenu: pause $ quick_menu = F...

It stands to reason this 13 year old thread would have out-of-date information in it, but I can't get the most recent code example listed immediately above to work. When I try this: label quitToMenu: pause $ quick_menu = False with None $ renpy.transition(pixellate) jump _library_main_menu ...this r...

Dude. You're the best. Thank you again!!!

So, by default 'gui.history_height' is set to 140, which creates the same height 'block' or 'box' around every history entry. If there's only a few words in each entry, there is a lot of white space in between each entry, but if one single entry has a lot of text in it, which takes up multiple lines...

have you tried this?: screen choice(items): style_prefix "choice" add "choice_overlay.png" @Kia: Holy crap. That totally works! It even works with rollback. Thanks so much! @hell_oh_world: I really, really appreciate all your help on this, I have learned a ton about Ren'Py and Python from this.

So... this is weird. When I copy that over exactly, absolutely nothing happens when the choice menu comes up, but also, the 'hide' line stops doing anything as well. But if I remove the 'on show' bit from the transform: ## Choice screen ###############################################################...

Again, I'm just also messing around here with the codes based from what I know :D For sure, I really appreciate it. And no matter what thank you for showing me where those fade durations were set, that was very helpful. It seems like the problem is no matter what you put in the Function, the 'on "s...

Yeah, I tried your code example, same problem as above: when it was attached to the "show" event, nothing happens, when it's attached to the "hide" event, it crashes with the same error, that Screen is not known, since the "choice_overlay" variable is an image, not a screen. Which really makes it se...

Ha, it looks like you posted while I was writing all that out. Yeah, I think you're right, there doesn't seem to be any "show" event for choice screens. But it seems like there used to be 2 years ago? Why would that have changed?

So now I'm reasonably certain the problem is due to the fact that the "show" event is not occurring for the choice menu, because according to the docs at https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/screens.html regarding the 'on' statement: The on statement allows the screen to execute an action when an event oc...

That's awesome, thank you so much! (I don't suppose you have any idea about the solution for the problem in my post above that one, do you? )

Also, just to be extra difficult, is it possible for the next dialogue box to not fade in until after this overlay image is done fading away? Like, for instance, when you transition between scenes, the game waits for the new scene background image to fade in before then fading in the dialogue box an...
