Re: Fix Code?

A simple improvement would be to change your If/else statements a little bit. # Instead of if result == "Group 1" and group1 == False: jump Group1v1 elif result == "Group 1" and group1 == True: jump Group1v2 # I would write if result == "Group 1": if group1 == False: ju...

Re: Would it be the best idea to update code?

The reason I think it's likely negligible is because creating a new style is likely a one-time occurrence that happens during the game's initialization, and it probably takes less than 1/100th of a second even when done inefficiently. Given those time estimates, even if this new style made the creat...

Re: [Android build problems] Ren'py can't detect JDK

In your last screenshot, one of the entries says "C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath". I think that's just the example path given in the tutorial, so you can safely remove that one. (You're correct in not removing any of the other entries though. That could cause all sorts of errors) The ...

Re: Would it be the best idea to update code?

I don't know the details but I pretty sure any performance increase or decrease is negligible. Just use whatever style works for you.

Re: [Android build problems] Ren'py can't detect JDK

Try opening a command prompt window and entering "javac". If you get an unrecognized-command error you probably forgot to add the SDK to the PATH variable. Refer to: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/webnotes/install/windows/jdk-installation-windows.html#path for instructions on updatin...

Re: persistent not being read properly

Try changing

Code: Select all

action If(persistent.E2_Kani_Flashback, Replay("E2_Kani_Flashback"))
to

Code: Select all

if persistent.E2_Kani_Flashback:
    action Replay("E2_Kani_Flashback")
If 'persistent.E2_Kani_Flashback' evaluates to true, then that should definitely work.

Re: Help, error in installing keys and sdk

Reposting a response I gave in another thread: I recently had that problem with Android as well. I think some of the google-play libraries have gotten renamed preventing RAPT from finding them. I was able to get my Android build to work by: 1. Going into the RAPT android SDK folder (I:\renpy-6.18.3-...

Re: Side Image Re sizing Problems

If your using a function like im.Scale you can specify style properties as additional arguments.
So you can do something like:

Code: Select all

image side A = im.Scale("side_A.png", 300, 499, xoffset=100, yoffset=100)
to offset the image

Re: if statement for scrollbar?

Setting the "unscrollable" property to "hide" might give you behavior you want.

Refer to https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/screens.html for which style properties screen elements have and https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/style_properties.html for descriptions of those properties.

Re: Matching Game Customization - Is It Possible???

It's more complicated but definitely possible.
(There are few things Renpy can't do if you put enough effort into it)

I did something similar for a project I worked on where there was a tetris-like minigame with a timer.
I can PM you some more details about the implementation I used if you want.

Re: python script causing Shift+R error

Code: Select all

config.python_callbacks.append(maxhp)
Should be outside of the maxhp function, so indented one level less.

Re: Help! Error

I think Renpy has trouble loading files with spaces in its path.
Try replacing all space characters in your image names with underscores (ex: 'bg_forest_autum_ns.png' instead of 'bg forest autum ns.png').
(And don't forget to update the script itself to reflect the new names)

Re: Using an alphamask without the alpha being visible

I've got it working to the point that the alpha layer animates properly Odd. When I tried to replicate your example I couldn't get the positional part of the animation to work at all. Which version of Renpy are you using? In general using ATL transforms that change the position of 'TargetImage' or ...

Re: .exe Icon Troubles

It can take a while for the .exe icon to update on your computer even if you did everything correctly.
Restart the windows explorer (Googling "restart windows explorer" gives a nice list of instructions) or just restart your computer entirely to check whether the icon is actually incorrect.
