Re: Characters with image attributes: menu and python equiva

Hmm, I assume you don't really need to be able to change the menu side image once it's shown. Why don't you take the simple way out and define a new character, specifically for the menu, and link it to the side image you want to be shown? Also, in your solution there really is a minute dilay between...

Re: Protect your game against piracy!

Have you considered this from the perspective of a user though? I think in the abscense of an official translation for a language they understand, a lot of people would love to play an unofficial translation, even if it's a bad one.(How bad can it really be?) I mean come on, this isn't even piracy. ...

Re: Ren'Py Save System issue

And just what renpy game have you played which allows you to have separate steam achievements on the same steam account, on the same machine?

Either way PyTom told you what you should do, and I told you how you can make it happen.
Give it a try.

Re: Ren'Py Save System issue

... how about deleting the folder? I assume renpy will just recreate it though. Another thing you might try is messing with the folder security permissions. Maybe if you remove everyone's permissions from the folder that has the save data it might be enough to confuse the game.(Especially if you are...

Re: Ren'Py Save System issue

No, as far as I'm aware the achievements are handled on steam. All the game does is tell the server when to unlock the achievement. So games don't normally need to keep track of the achievements on the computer. Which now that I think about it, presents a unique problem. Since renpy doesn't like sav...

Re: Protect your game against piracy!

Hm... funny thing about DRM. It can actually end up killing your product. Ever heard of Dark Spore? I doubt it... But hey, if you prefer investing all your personal time in chasing some chick on the internet, who is making your games more accessible to the world, instead of growing yourself and deve...

Re: Ren'Py Save System issue

*sigh*... This is obnoxious. What you're asking is a bit much, I doubt many indie developers are gonna bother with such a task. Still, it might be possible. I assume the game can get the information about the current windows user from the operating system, then cross retrieve a list of possible stea...

Re: Characters with image attributes: menu and python equiva

I don't see why you are overcomplicating this so much. If you wanna show an image on the menu, show the image before the menu then hide it when you are leaving the menu.

Re: Changing textbox height of History/Credits/Preference pa

Can't really tell. Your history screen looks perfectly normal.
I assume you have changed various style settings, because this sure as hell doesn't look anywhere close to my history menu.
In which case I would need to see your screens.rpy and your gui.rpy files.

Re: Looping battle system...*Bug

Hmm, next time, it would be nice to provide a working demo, so people don't have to waste time setting one up. It's much harder for us to deal with missing screens, methods, variables, images or sound effects. In any case there's one thing I've derived from your combat system. You use the text hyper...

Re: Readback - Excluding Text?

You know this is kinda funny. Looks like this script is so old it even uses the old styling syntax. It's a wonder it still works. Doesn't look like there's a built in way to disable the script. I can hotwire it, but I'd need to know better what you are actually trying to do, and why. You may want to...

Re: i got a problem

... I repeat.
We have no idea how you've implemented this alleged battle system. We can't simply begin to make assumptions as to what's wrong.
Now it's obvious you aren't capable of describing the problem accurately.
Why don't you at least provide us with the code, so we can see for ourselves?

Re: how to move gui text buttons

The problem here isn't that the buttons aren't properly aligned, and if you give them a background you will see that they align perfectly. The problem is with the text alignment. It's set to left, where as you probably want it to be centered for a horizontal menu. Combined with the lack of backgroun...

Re: string variable within a string variable

Or you could do this:

Code: Select all

default ending = "Guy and {}'s Good End".format(povname)
Personally I prefer that.
