Re: Problems with Scrolling Intro...

Yeah, it's also not perfect when it comes to scrolling depending on how much text you have, and for how long - it can have quite a gap between the scrolling animation starting and actually scrolling the text (certainly noticed this being so if scrolling a small amount of text over a largish period o...

Re: Problems with Scrolling Intro...

Dunno if you have or not, but checking out the scrolling credits cookbook idea - http://lemmasoft.renai.us/forums/viewto ... 51&t=22481 - might help you work out how to do this?

Re: Perfect recipe for a sympathetic immoral main character?

I'm also not convinced that a main character has to be sympathetic. I agree. I remember reading one fan fic where the main character was quite beyond the Moral Event Horizon. I liked the story, even if it was an uncomfortable read. I agree, and I think that is a key. Some people want their art to e...

Re: Music/sounds won't play for specific scene only...

Also, does using "queue sound" make any difference?

Re: Scrolling Credits

Do "credits" and "credits_s" need to be in the init python block? EDIT: To answer my own question, yes they do. The "images" though don't seem to need to be in an init block, however. And I'm wondering if there's an easier way to deal with the Ren'Py version number - th...

Re: Background problem.

OK, for some reason your image doesn't have the ".jpeg" extension? So rename it (right-click on the image in Explorer and select "Rename") and rename it "Building.jpeg".

Re: Background problem.

You've defined the image, but not told Ren'Py to display it. This should do it: image bg building = "building view.jpg" scene bg building (Rest of your code here) Okay that fix the problem in a way. Now this: http://i.imgur.com/4V3Yl97.jpg You need to use this line exactly as: [b]scene bg...

This should do it:

Code: Select all

image bg building = "building view.jpg"

scene bg building

Re: A simple navigation map tutorial

I have potentially rather stupid questions here: does the imagemap have to be the same size as the game's resolution? And does the "hover" image have to be just the "hovering" hotspot images? EDIT: The answer seems to be "No" to both of my questions. Odd, because it was...

Been reading these forums for years, only joined yesterday.

Just call me Sslaxx. Don't really have much of a website presence at the moment, other than the usual social media. I'm a Brit. And a geek.

Re: troubleshooting a PYTHONHOME error message

Here's what I did. Understand Ren'Py comes with a minimal distribution of Python with it, it doesn't require any pre-installed version. The error/warning messages are pretty harmless. I don't run Ren'Py's scripts directly. I installed Ren'Py to a different directory - in this case, /opt/Devel/RenPy....
