Re: Cutting the code into different modules for ease of acce

So if I understand correctly, splitting the script into different files have virtually no effect on how it is run, but only how it is organized?

That's perfect. Thanks for the pointer, everyone. :D

Re: What you enjoy from VN?

I think that trial-and-error is part of the genre's charm. Life choices and their consequences are as a rule not always intuitive or logical, and sometimes utter disaster can arise from the most innocuous of choices. Hence the "for want of a nail" hyperbole. As for the differences between ...

Re: Cutting the code into different modules for ease of acce

So in file 1 we can have: init python: # part 1 definitions go here and in file 2, 3, 4, 5,... n we have: init python: # part 3, 3, 4, 5, ...n definitions go here The question is, should all of these files end with return? From dissecting the tutorial it seems to be the case, but there is also the t...

Re: Cutting the code into different modules for ease of acce

That's exactly what I am looking for, right there.

Is there any pointer on how the program loads codes in different script files? Or any tutorial I could read about this?

Cutting the code into different modules for ease of access?

As at present, my code is approaching the 7000 mark, and it is becoming harder and harder to properly navigate it. For practical reason, I am considering dividing it into different modules and import them into the main module when the game is run. However, I didn't understand the relevant instructio...

Re: Print command and Ren'Py

I have found a simpler workaround that does not have to involve the for statement. Thanks for the suggestion anyway! I'm sure it will be of use later on.

Re: Print command and Ren'Py

Hmm... seems that it isn't a good workaround then. I'll try to fins another way.

Thanks anyway.

Re: "Real" nekomimi?

True.

I guess I will put that down on the list of niche luxury products that quite few people want. When I become President of the World, that sort of thing is going into the luxury tax list.

Re: "Real" nekomimi?

I personally think this is vastly overpriced. Then again, so is most other toys/merch/collectibles. I would guess that I'd never get the appeal of cat ears and such.

Re: Print command and Ren'Py

Not sure if that's what I'm looking for. The situation here is that I need to combine the for statement with the if clause and use it as a condition to display text. The problem is, to use an if clause in a for statement I have to use a python block, which pretty much negates the entire standard Ren...

Re: Smith-Lords of the Grey Mountain (VN/Sandbox RPG experim

Progress update: - Inventory and equipment system is currently working like a charm. Everything is text-based, yes, but for the inventory screen that generates a kind of early Final Fantasy feel, if I have to say so myself. :wink: - Preliminary tests on the combat system are positive. Once I come up...

Re: A choice you can only get if you have the right stats

Use the "if" function, like so: "You have 30 Swadian Recruits. What do you want to upgrade them to?" menu: "Swadian Footmen": "You now have 30 Swadian Footmen." "Swadian Crossbowmen": "You now have 30 Swadian Crossbowmen." "Swadian Kni...

Re: Okay, I need a little help for Cartooning

If all else fail, try Napoleon's invasion of Russia. I mean, look at that and tell me you can't get some huge surge of inspiration.

But then again, I'm a history fanatic, so there is that. :wink:
