Re: In 2050, your lover may be a ... robot

I like it when a man jumps out of his typical behavioral patterns just to surprise me. I bet there are a lot of 'humans' in this world who are almost mechanically repetive, mind-implodingly unimaginative and considerably predictable. Computergames are not that far from the idea of a robot that can ...

Re: Ren'Py 6.9.3 pre-released

Jo'ogn, can you try to replace renpy-6.9.3/launcher/distribute.rpy with the attached file? I think it should fix your first problem. I'm not sure about the cause of the second, but it looks like you're not running Ren'Py properly. It did fix it, thank you. It was only one problem, I merely quoted b...

Re: Ren'Py 6.9.3 pre-released

Hm... has anyone gotten around to testing 6.9.3b? German XP sp3. Trying to build windows x86 distribution. I can build "the Question", but is there anything I need to change with my own projects to build them? I got no errors building with 6.9.2. And this traceback doesn't seem to point a...

Re: Launcher2

I wonder, is there a reason that the 'buttons' of "Launcher2" are so 'unbuttonly'?

Re: Preferences volume not working

What are your sound commands? I.e. on which channels is sound supposed to play? Did you accidently create an own 'mixer' (other than "sfx", "music" and "voice")?

Re: Sega to Close Arcades, Cancel Games, Lay Off Hundreds

Even if anybody in a capitalistic system can open their own business with the hopes or aniticipations of 'financial success', it inevitably leads to curruption. Which I consider the inherent flaw of capitalism. Products aren't made to firstly please the customer, but to firstly create income. Ironic...

Re: Showing/Hiding and how UI bar works

A while ago I found somewhere an example of using imaged based bars. I sorta played around with it and it worked. ui.bar(max_value, value, xmaximum=120,ypos=-0.4, left_bar=Frame("rrslider_full.png", 12, 10), right_bar=Frame("rrslider_empty.png", 12, 10), thumb=None,thumb_shadow=N...

Re: How to prevent rollback?

I skim a lot of the time, skip around, lose focus and think about something else entirely while 'reading'... that means I am really likely to miss stuff the first time around. If I advance the text only to realize I don't quite know what's going on because I didn't read the first line correctly, th...

Re: Can you play a sound effect while there's music on?

Numbered channels like "channel=5" are obsolete (there are only 0-7). You can define about as many parallel playing 'named channels' as you want to. Looping and 'oneshot': http://www.renpy.org/wiki/renpy/doc/reference/Audio#Defining_Channels Renpy "play" and "stop" stat...

Re: Translation and Localization

I have no real idea, the whole approach of replacing the English string in order to translate it is, put frankly, absurd. config.translations[u'Are you sure you want to return to the main menu?\nThis will lose unsaved progress.'] = u'Wirklich zum Hauptmenü?\nNicht gespeicherter Spielstand wird verlo...

Re: How to prevent rollback?

I just like to experiment things... We don't have to start up a debate just because of some rollback thingy We live in times where ppl rather copy, than being original. So the more ppl 'experiment' with 'blocking rollback', I see potential for others copying this approach, though their games/VN mig...

Re: My Boyfriend (DS)

Oh, dear. I vaguely remember, having gotten "My Boyfriend" from dtp (which was our publisher at this time) back in 2006 on my desk. We had the PC version. It's one of those stereotyped 'pink for girls' games. I vaguely recall a wardrobe and going shopping in some oversized mall. I 'enjoyed...
