Re: Expanding Client Size

How about making the textbox invisible and centering the text at the bottom, subtitle-style?

Re: How do I attach a variable to a menu option?

This doesn't work for numerous reasons, actually. The indentation is wrong- you've got those 'if' statements actually indented deeper than the block they are in and the "Secret Ending": that is supposed to be subordinate to it is indented less (because it's actually in the outer block), yo...

Re: Zipfile module [Errno 2] No such file or directory

Nope, you just can't do that. It won't work with ANY file handle - nothing to do with zip files.

Re: Zipfile module [Errno 2] No such file or directory

You can't make any guarantees about any local paths accessed through anything other than Ren'Py's routines. The working directory is not the game dir. So you can't do that, and you shouldn't anyway because it will fail as soon as you RPA it or APK it. Try: $archive = zipfile.ZipFile( renpy.file('ima...

Re: Self Insert MC's Versus MC's with Personality

I wouldn't mind if the former kind of protagonist disappeared entirely.

In any case, as I have a personality I relate better to a protagonist with a personality. So the 'blank slate' protagonist automatically fails in its stated objective.

Re: Centering text with the "extend" character

Dunno if a style tag will work - the Ren'Py documentation gives a list of things the style tag can pick up from the style and drop shadow / outlines isn't in there. I'm not really sure how to fix this. There isn't really a good way of getting the size of a piece of text without drawing it..

Re: Centering text with the "extend" character

How about, instead of {color=#000}, you try {color=#0000}. That should make the text completely transparent.

Re: How can I convert a video into a format that'll work?

The recommended tool is ffmpeg, but if you want something a bit friendlier, give Handbrake a look. You'll need to fiddle with the settings a little to get something that works with Ren'Py- I recommend these settings: Container: Mkv Video codec: VP3 (Theora) Audio codec: Vorbis (vorbis) Then just fid...

Re: trying to put millisecond at timed menus

Well, go with the higher-resolution timer used in the bar example, rather than the 1 second timer used in the countdown example: timer 0.01 repeat True action If(time > 0, true=SetVariable('time', time - 0.01), false=[Hide('countdown'), Jump(timer_jump)]) Then alter the code that shows the time to s...

Re: Show image "as"

Nope; unfortunately, what you are trying to do just won't work. All I can think of is writing some custom Python functions that call renpy.show and set an appropriate store value to the card image, so you can retrieve that and use it when you want to move a card without changing it.

Re: Quitining from Main Manu results in checkered background

That's because you're adding it too late and it's going on top of everything. Do the if / add background stuff before the imagemap.

Re: Turning lists into strings in ren'py variables.

The problem is that the comma makes it a tuple.
$ eyecolor = eyecolorlist[random] + " eyes"
