Re: Animated imagebutton in main menu

Button without any actions will not receive any events. If you want hover events to work, you need to provide an action. You can use a built-in action which does not do anything, called NullAction()

Re: how to make a loading screen where the player is reminded of what happened at a previous point in the plot?

Always have data you want to show after loading up to date in your game, and then use after_load special label to show some screens telling player what happened before. https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/label.html#special-labels Example: default happened_before = ["you have started the game"]...

Re: Quest System Screen Problem

As for this question -> Nope, it is not. Well... Actually it is, just not in the way I thought. ShowMenu shows screen in the menu context, while that screen is shown, you are not in the main game, and jumping from there will not affect main game flow. As soon as you finish showing screen or return ...

Re: Can't stop errant sound playing after a save load

By the way, there is not function "renpy.sound.stop()", but I guess that's just a typo, right? There... is? https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/audio.html#renpy.music.stop Most renpy.music functions have aliases in renpy.sound . These functions are similar, except they default to the sound cha...

Re: Using videos as button?

A modified version of your approach seems to work: screen video_test_screen: default ap = 0.0 button: action NullAction() hovered SetScreenVariable("ap", 1) unhovered SetScreenVariable("ap", 0) has fixed fit_first True add "video idle" add "video hover": alpha...

Re: Using videos as button?

Interesting. Defining videos as image video_idle: animation Movie(play="images/MOV_Achenar_Page_00.mp4") and using them as background / hover_background works with a single caveat: hover video is only started when button is hovered for the first time. Then it is played uninterrupted as int...

Re: Quest System Screen Problem

Is, by any chance, your quest overview screen a part of the game menu (the one you get when you press ESC)?

Re: Label as main menu background

You cannot simply add random code and expect it to work. ATL has different syntax from both RenPy script and SL, so you'll need more complex approach. This, for example will change bachground from red to green and back every 3 seconds: init python: def change_image(trans, st, at): if (at // 3) % 2 =...

Re: Label as main menu background

a) Use timers that change varable controlling current image.
b) CDD which change rendered image based on elapsed time
c) Potentially ATL animation which has a funtcion statement changing child of transform.

Re: Label as main menu background

If main_menu label exist, it will be executed, instead of showing the main menu screen. Note that you will be responsible for shwing and handling all menu screens in this case.
An alternative approach is to convert you code into a screen and use that instead.

Re: Strategy for distribution of large games (> 5GB)?

We regularly get over 1,200 downloads for each released version, so transfer charges are a definite concern. We already got hit with a (extremely) huge fee when distributing files using Gofile one release. We're using anonymous transfers now, but it involves manually downloading every file occasion...

Re: Layeredimage dynamic image name. NameError

yea, I tried it, but get attribute error. NoneType have no attribute 'style'. looks like it's cant find right image or something like that. That is another problem and is likely one you should be solving instead. I'm actually curious now about how to refactor the class to make getters for every fie...

Re: Strategy for distribution of large games (> 5GB)?

You can rent a cheap VPS with 1TB of storage space and 1Gb/s connection at 10€/month. Usually you get severals Tb of data for free and then you have to pay 1-3€ per Tb (which in your case is about 120 downloads). Another option is to use peer-to-peer distribution and all the distributed power of Bit...
