Re: Adding a caption / hover-state to imagebutton/image?

I already have a tooltip functionality going in other parts of the game, so I'll see if I can make that work - I was sort of hoping to have an "always on" counter showing, but for now, it'll work with a hover-state :)

Adding a caption / hover-state to imagebutton/image?

Okay, I have a sort of hacky inventory-screen, where items that are in the backpack/inventory is shown with a hover-state (imagebutton), and items which are not in the inventory, just in the inventory-folder (not yet picked up) is shown as a regular image. This works fine. What I would like, though,...

Re: "Patching" a Renpy-game

Thanks for the in depth explanation - yeah, I figured out the .rpa-bit, and sure, this is very useful in some aspects, and might come in very handy in the future. Currently, I have based it on just a simple patch-file (all the content is already included, no need to patch that), and if that is prese...

Re: Enabling skip unseen text for a single scene?

The skipping is easily done via jumps and labels. "Should you do it"... that's a completely different question. Is the content that disturbing? Personally, I hate everything about "safe spaces", "trigger warnings" and all that crap - I think it's a mamby-pamby way of le...

Re: Limiting amount of points choice can give to a variable

Why are you jumping back before the questions? If they disappear, it's not possible to pick it again? Also, rolling back, and clicking it again, should not give multiple points. Rolling back should take away the points given. You could limit it based on current points, or set a variable to True, and...

Re: Looping through a list / array in Ren'Py

Okay, I'm dumb (and again... I hate the docs), but I figured it out :D

Code: Select all

    label viewintro:
        python:
            for i in dialogue_fP_intro:
                renpy.say(fP,i)
That works fine.

[solved] Looping through a list / array in Ren'Py

Okay, so I'm trying to split up content a bit, to keep things a bit more organized, and I've been trying to figure out how I would loop through an array in Renpy... which seems a bit difficult. What I want to do, is basically display a character's monologue, via a loop, that runs through the content...

Re: How can you tell how Long your VN is based on word count?

So, using that average, and accounting for the added benefits of visual guides, events and such, I would say that you could probably create a semi-accurate timeline for a full game, with different methods of engaging the player, based on that. If you average 100 wpm (to keep it simpler and account f...

Re: Dialogue Between Unnamed Characters

Theoretically, you could of course just... not use names at all, just the images of the characters. Only use names when referring to them by the main character (or other characters). This would mean that you would need to be very particular in WHEN to use that name, so that the player will associate...

Re: Winged Cloud Worker Exploitation

I do not trust the internet. With fancy wording and minor fact adjustments or hiding, social media can be a very effective tool for character assasination. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Character_assassination I will wait for any actual legal action to take place before judging the parties involved...

Re: Serching strings

Code: Select all

if "LEGO" in yc.upper():
#or
if "lego" in yc.lower():
Basically, what you do is not checking for either lower or upper, but matching the content of the word against a uniform string, regardless of capitalisation.

Re: Ren'py Extensible Window When On Different Sized Monitor?

No. 2 1920x1080, and one 1680x1050. I did a test and hooked up a really old Dell-screen as well, with 1280x1024, still works fine across screens. Nvidia Titan on latest GeForce-drivers, Windows 10.

Re: [Glitch] ghost-narrator box popping-up between dialogue actions.

Yeah, I'm using it because I have a different textbox for narrator (without a namebox) and characters (with a namebox), so I have a textbox with a cutout for the namebox so as not to see a the textbox "border" through the namebox (semi-transparent). So I figure I could add that. I've teste...

Re: [SOLVED]How to increase y of a scrollbar?

The correct apporach here would be, then, to provide the solution as well (the corrected code) :) That way, others with similar problem will be able to see how you solved your problem, and then maybe be able to solve their own.
