I think you are taking the wrong approach. You don't actually need a timer going like that. You just need to import python's date time module, Put the starting date time in a persistent variable when the player starts the game and then whenever the game is up, check the real time against that origin...

I was unable to run the "imagebotton" example that was located on this page here: viewtopic.php?t=22565 Can anyone understand why I got this error? Thank you, in advance, for your help... :D ``` I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred. While running game code: File "game/exampl...

Might this better be done in Python rather than Renpy?

As a Humanities professor, the first thing I would ask is: what is your argument? The history of VNs isn’t an argument, it is an overview. What field are you writing this thesis in? History? Computer Science? Sociology? Literature? In which country? Each field and each has different country has slig...

Do not use persistent unless you know exactly what it does and specifically want that functionality. Persistent isn’t just a way to have your choice remembered. What gas posted does that. Persistent is to remember choices between games, not just within a game. Often this is not what you want. For ex...

The OP is using the Movie Sprite functionality, documented here: https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/movie.html?highlight=movie%20sprites#movie-displayables-and-movie-sprites So using movie sprites shouldn’t be a problem in and of itself. Do they all have the same frame rate? The documentation says that ...

What an interesting problem!

From what you described it seems a character callback seems the way to go.
I wonder if it would be easier to address the menu rather than the voice since I imagine you have fewer menus than you do speech? But I think the character callback would probably be easiest.

There are other callbacks as well that might be interesting:

config.interact_callbacks
config.python_callbacks
config.label_callbacks

But could I ask what the larger thing you want to achieve is? There may be an easier way to achieve what you want.

You can use custom text tags. https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/custom_text_tags.html I tend to make little test programs for some feature in the documentation, often times whenever a new feature is announced...but I am trying to slowly work thought all of the documentation so I can get to know renpy b...

The trick is not to have a black area that somehow is revealed. The trick is to have a black image with a transparent hole. Then you make that image the cursor. Then as you move the cursor you move the black image with a hole...so it looks like you are moving a flashlight. This was the thread that i...

I would think the thing to adjust is the borders of the screen, but the screen itself. The NVL Screens are defined in the screen.rpy file. There are two nvl screens: screen nvl(dialogue, items=None) screen nvl_dialogue(dialogue) The first seems to be the screen used for menus and the second for dial...

This is very cool! Thanks for making it and I'm looking forward to more!

Certainly! I’ll message you when I’m done with it!

You can certainly put all those initial declarations in its own file. The functions can be in their own file as well. The only thing to be aware of is that Ren’py reads the files alphabetically, just make sure you name the file with the variable declarations something earlier in the alphabet than th...
