For the life of me, I can't find the answer to what's apparently a very simple question. When the game runs, I'd like it to check to see if one of two files exists. If they DON'T exist, I'd like the game to change the language to None (English.) I realize the engine defaults to None anyway, but this...

I had no idea you could use _() with actual file names! At least potentially...because that's a clever method...I wonder why it doesn't work. Maybe the translation doesn't occur early enough in the initialization process?

Ok, answering my own question here in case it helps anybody... It seems that you'd need to define a style for the diary, then use the translate command to tell Renpy which font to substitute for that style. init -1 python hide: style.default.font = "arial.ttf" init python: style.say_diary_...

I might be wrong but your sound file will usually look like a garbled mess when you look at it through a text editor, which it looks like you're doing. So that's normal. It only matters whether it will run in the game or not. The files ending in .rpy, which contain your code, are usually the only fi...

My game contains several text styles. For the purposes of simplification, let's say there are two: 1. default font for dialogue 2. diary font for when the player writes in their diary They are defined accordingly below: init -1 python hide: style.default.font = "arial.ttf" init: define dia...

I tested this and I'm getting the same issue.

Ah, gotcha. Thank you for the tip regardless.

Oh, thanks! Do you happen to know where I'd add the !t?

Looking at https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/translat ... stitutions and I'm not sure I know where that would go.

Ah, never mind, I found the answer here, in case anyone has the same question:

My game contains numerous custom choice menus that look like this: call special_menu ("Go fast.", "Go slow.") if pics == 0: "You run." else: "You walk." If it matters, the function itself looks like this: label special_menu(*menu_options): $picks = None $menu_...

Ah, thanks everyone!

I'm searching for any info about what MainMenu() actually does.

Aside from sending the player back to the Main Menu screen (and quitting the current game), is this the equivalent a full restart?

So the call stack is set back to 0, while persistent variables remain untouched?

Thanks!

Thank you for the perfect suggestion, Remix! This changes everything.

I'm wondering about the efficiency of the following setup and whether it makes logical sense. The art folder contains 100 drawings all with unique names: john_1.jpg, john_2.jpg sam_1.jpg, etc. Also in the folder: 100 censored versions of those same drawings. censored_john_1.jpg, censored_john_2.jpg ...

Thanks Remix!!!

Do you know where I can find any examples of this in action? I'm scratching my head over the syntax.
