Re: What was the funniest anime / manga moment for you?

Bungou Stray Dogs Episode 9: Protagonist wonders why his agency senpai Dazai hasn't shown up to work. Nobody else gives a damn, assuming Dazai is (unsuccessfully as usual) attempting suicide somewhere and will be fine. In fact, however, Dazai has been kidnapped by the antagonist organization, the P...

Re: removing line spacing in the namebox?

I managed to decrease the namebox-text line height by adding this to gui.rpy (you were so close, too).

Code: Select all

define gui.name_text_line_spacing = -30

Re: default punch-transform's white background

White? Isn't it chequered anymore? :shock: That's what I would have expected, too, but it is certainly white, which is why I thought it is perhaps defined as such somewhere. Your config.developer-advice has just made life so much easier, especially since I always compiled the game to check whether ...

Re: [SOLVED] Chaining Simple Animations Without Blocking

Maybe I get it now. I'm working on sth similar. I have two animations, cracking and bloodsplatter: image cracking: "images/efk/crack b.png" .3 "images/efk/crack c.png" .2 "images/efk/crack d.png" .3 "images/efk/crack e.png" .2 image bloodsplatter: "images...

Re: [SOLVED] Chaining Simple Animations Without Blocking

Oh, and one more thing: "visual artifacts" for me always disappear after I delete the cache folder.

Re: Chaining Simple Animations Without Blocking

I had some spelling errors, but I see you fixed them yourself. I'm not sure what you mean by chaining animations and where problems remain, but you can add conditionals to the live composite. I can't test now and I'm guessing the syntax a little, just so you can see whether perhaps LiveComposite mig...

Re: Chaining Simple Animations Without Blocking

[I added a "pause" to the lower code.]
They don't play parallel, because there is "pause 10" under "to_black" (whereby 10 is the duration of the white animation, so you replace all 10s with 40s).
Give it try, I'm pretty sure, that's what you wanted.

Re: Chaining Simple Animations Without Blocking

Probably not the most elegant, but is that the effect you want: image to_white: "#FFFFFF" alpha 0.0 linear 10 alpha 1.0 image to_black: "#000000" alpha 0.0 pause 10 linear 5 alpha 1.0 image white_to_black = LiveComposite( (1280, 720), (0,0), "to_white", (0, 0), "to...

Cache Issues

Unless I delete the cache folder every few minutes, or after a few code changes, I get a number of issues (that drove me crazy for months before I even realized they were cache related). For example: - white lines surrounding the character sprites and composite parts - screenshots appear distorted a...

default punch-transform's white background

If a BG exactly fills the screen and is then shaken, the background behind the BG naturally becomes visible for moment. That background is white and this is too strong a contrast for my images. Is there any way to change it to black? (Or is my only option adding a black frame around all BGs, so they...

message: "skip to next decision"

While a friend was skipping through my game, I briefly saw that message on his screen. He has a Mac. Neither have I ever seen this on any of my Windows machines, nor can I reproduce it. Since it's a kinetic novel, I'd like to make sure it never shows up on anyone's screen. Any ideas how to best go a...

Re: help with variable composite expression

Okay, got it, now it works perfectly. Puh, I thought we had a misunderstanding and you actually did expect me to spell it all out. In the future, I will stick to actual code when problem solving and not simplifying it wrongly, and thus, overcomplicating matters exponentially. I'm sorry and thanks a ...

Re: help with variable composite expression

I was afraid you'd say that.
Do you mean to suggest that I define all possible combinations as composites, because my question was precisely how to avoid that.

Re: help with variable composite expression

Oh dear, oh dear, now I don't get it all anymore. I'm really sorry. I do in fact have images "lb1.png" and "le1.png", lb2.png ..... and they are in the right places as well. How can I call $ brows, eyes = "lb2", "le2" if I have never defined those images? Edit...
