Re: renpy reload got transparent background and no character

This happens for me too for the first transition or so that occurs after using autoreload in game development. As Ocelot said, it's not important since it doesn't happen in normal games (where autoreload is not available).

Re: Trying to make a progressive menu

I don't understand what you're doing with creating a set and then adding things to it, but that's not the question I suppose (use a normal integer for counting). If you use "jump" within the menu you won't be able to return to it, so just use "call". # define is for constants, default is for changin...

Re: Layer screens with displayables?

I have no clue about the "plugin" you are using, but (invisible) imagemaps hotspots and invisible buttons on some kind of foreground layer work very fine for me when it comes to stuff the player may click on. Could it be you're not using them correctly? When creating an imagemap on a Solid() just co...

Re: Error Jumping to Labels and Quick Menu Hidden

Okay it's too hard to go all of this, but your main problem (in my opinion) is that you overlooked that you can simply use a "call" instead of "show" to call a screen or jump to a label. That means that the screen is shown and the game won't advance until you return from that screen via the "Return(...

Re: define textbox size based on dialogue ysize

You should make yourself familiar with using frames. The Frame()-Displayable can adapt its size to their parent (e.g. a frame it is put in). "frame" as part of screens: https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/screens.html#frame Frame() as a Displayable: https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/displayables.html?highli...

Re: Toggling two preferences at once

I read your text many times and still don't quite understand what it is you really want to do. Could you rephrase it please? You can make a button make multiple things at once by just comma-separating the commands. textbutton _("Show Side Images"): action ToggleField(...), StylePreference(...), etc.

Re: Help with Calendar Dates, adding and subtracting

You can just use all the things Python is providing and then show it via renpy screens or dialogue or whatever you wanna do with it.

So just create a date object via:

Code: Select all

import datetime

dob = datetime.datetime(y, m, d)

Re: Centered text not centered

You should provide us with some code, so we can actually have an idea about why it happens. Is it not centered inside the say screen (the part where all dialogue is happening) or just on some other screen you created? Or as part of a choice menu? There are many possible ways this can happen.

Re: button to reset game

You should be more precise about what you want. Of course you can create a button, that can delete persistent data. Or just any data. So what do you mean by "reset the game". A game is reset to default values whenever you start a new game. Every game uses its own set of data, but persistent data is ...

Re: Preview of latest save

Well, if this is just about some chapter preview image, it's really simple. Whenever the game starts entering the new chapter, just save the current chapter inside a variable. In the main menu just read out this variable and show the preview image. You could even name the images according to the str...

Ren'py doesn't save a variable as expected. [fixed in 7.5/8.0]

Okay, I suddenly feel like a noob again. I don't understand what Ren'py is doing here. Save the game at the moment the line says and then reload. The number will be different every time. Why isn't it saved? I understand, that Ren'py is repeating the python statement, but why is "number" None all of ...

Re: X-ray effect around cursor?

Hey, I just created a user defined Displayable, that acts as an x-ray device. It follows the mouse cursor and also allows an overlay (like a device). The Displayable refers to a frame when applying the x-ray effect, so you have to position the target image (like a person with clothes) at the same po...
