Playing sound/music causes performance stutter

I'm having a very weird problem. Every time I play sound or music using any statement or action (play, renpy.music.play, Play(), hover_sound), my game experiences a momentary stutter in animation and performance. This happens even on the main menu with nothing else going on. I've tried cutting absol...

Screen actions rejecting save functions- Ren'Py bug?

I have a manual autosave system that saves the game at certain points to the filename profile1_autosave. However, the save file can't be directly accessed by screen actions. Here is my save code: $ save_name = "profile1_autosave" $ renpy.take_screenshot(scale=None, background=None) $ renpy...

Seeking pixel artist

I have a new Illuminated Games project in the works: a small, light-hearted, Ren'Py-based click-and-drag game with a dark secret, inspired by indie classics such as 60 Seconds and Papers Please. The title is "Golem Creation Kit." The project is currently in alpha with a working prototype, ...

Re: dictionarys

Code: Select all

    $ player={}
is what defines it as a dictionary. Did you remove that line?

Re: dictionarys

You have to declare every line of Python code when using Ren'Py, by prefixing it with $ or placing it within a python statement. You've missed out on doing that for these:

Code: Select all

    $ player={}
    $ player["k"] = 0
    $ player["s"] = 0

Re: How come this doesn't work? Imagebuttons and menus

How are you accessing the screen? You need to show it, or preferably call it like so:

Code: Select all

call screen GrabAMap
before it'll do anything.

Re: Force a transition

There's a few ways to do this. One method that worked out well for me in The Next World is to 'fake' it using a screen. Show the screen with any images and transforms you want, then use renpy.pause(1.0, hard=True) to stop any player interaction, then hide the screen again and replace it with regular...

Some UDD questions

I'm trying to get a UDD to behave like a button or draggable, and I'm coming up against a couple of problems. 1. Is there an easy/convenient way to tell if the UDD has been clicked? Especially a non-transparent part of the UDD. 2. If not, how can I tell whether a clicked pixel is a non-transparent p...

Re: How to reorder draggroups on the fly?

if we can find a way to pass a list of drag objects to something like this function it can re arrange them to the same order every time a drag is finished init python: def d_top(d,dd): d[0].top() d[1].top() d[2].top() our best chance is asking Tom to suggest a solution Ha, you're a genius!

Re: How to reorder draggroups on the fly?

I had 3 ideas 1- set drag_raise with a variable and change the value in python when the drag starts and when it ends but it didn't work for some reason. Dragged callbacks are only initiated when the drag ends, sadly. And Clicked only works if it's a click without dragging. 2- set drag_raise to fals...

How to reorder draggroups on the fly?

I'd like to be able to set and reset the Z order of drags in a draggroup at the end of a dragged callback, so that they return to their usual display order after being dragged. I can't seem to find an answer in the documentation. Is there any way to do this?

Re: [Edited] Using transforms on Draggroups?

Ahem. Never mind, that last one was due to my own bug. Think I've got it cracked now, thanks.
