(Ren'Py 8.0.2) I have an ATL background that executes over 6 seconds, zooming in on a portion of the image. I am trying to display a sequence of dialog text while the zoom is happening. It works fine in normal mode, but when you turn on auto-advance the waits disappear. For example: python: waitLeng...

I only have Intel Macs to test with (the latest build of my VN works fine), but I've had two people now tell me that it's not working on their M1 Macs. I've asked them to send me their log and traceback files, but in the meantime has anyone heard anything like this? Oh, and to make things even less ...

If I'm not mistaken, Ren'Py resolves the attributes for an image at compile time instead of runtime. It tries several methods to resolve an actual filename from the arguments given in the show statement. In your example, Ren'Py is going to take your v_season variable name instead of its value to der...

I'm seeing some weird behavior with Android builds of my VN. In short, Ren'Py (version 8.0.2) caches older versions of displayables and won't update them with newer versions if they exist. In my opinion, this is a bug. In the Android build dialog, Force Recompile doesn't help. Clean does do the righ...

This seems to work for me Hmm. The only difference in our code (besides my using an image without applying a transform) was your direct reference to the image, which my code couldn't find which is why I added the calls in the first place to renpy.easy.displayable_or_none() to retrieve the displayab...

Why not just use the default CTC screen and add a single condition check to the CTC screen? If in afm, the screen won't show, if not, it shows.
Does this not work as expected?

I'm using a nestled-close icon in-line with the text. There is no separate CTC screen.

... That was simpler than my brute force method, so thanks! My issue with screen updates remains: If auto-forward is off and enabled, the screen automatically shows the following screen with CTC now disabled. No problem. If auto-forward is on and disabled, the screen displays no CTC icon until the ...

I continue to try to solve this problem. Some people have tried to convince me that this is a "non-issue," but it frustrates me that there isn't a way to do something so common in a video game as redrawing parts of the screen.

You could try: renpy.restart_interaction() That's the first thing I tried. Nothing happens. Does it matter where it's called from? Right now, it's an action from the quick menu: def setupCTC(): ctcBehavior = None if preferences.afm_enable else renpy.easy.displayable_or_none("ctc_blink") for c in al...

Is there a way to force a redraw of the dialogue window? Long story short, I'm disabling CTC display if the user is in auto-forward mode. When I turn Auto on, it's not a problem because afm will force subsequent screens to appear after a delay. But turning Auto off (and turning the CTC back on) ther...

That was fast. I downloaded 8.0.1 tonight, and you'd already fixed the problem. That's what I call customer service!

Now I wish I'd asked first instead of spending a couple of days trying to code a workaround.

Thanks, PyTom!

RTFM. So auto-forward doesn't work on multiple character dialogue: Auto-forward mode only works on the last block of text. While this should be fine in most cases, it can lead to problems if the last block of text is shorter than the rest, as auto-forward may engage early. So, I'm back into "what-if...

I have this issue when, if you have auto-forward turned on, randomly there is no delay--dialog text displays and quickly advances to the next.

Well, I solved the random problem--it was a side-effect of python code running in a screen.

The multiple_say problem persists, though...

I thought this might have been a legacy issue with Ren'Py 7.4, but it persists in 8.0. I have this issue when, if you have auto-forward turned on, randomly there is no delay--dialog text displays and quickly advances to the next. This behavior occasionally happens in the regular game, but I can repr...

If that doesn't show the image, open console and let us know what it printed and what error you got. It really should work. Well, it took awhile because Ren'Py decided to take a dump on me (don't ever let there be more than one directory associated with your app in %APPDATA%\RenPy...). So, I got ti...
