Re: First Project?

Welcome to the VN creators family! \O/ For my first...2 VN projects I worked with someone else and we were both very-very inexperienced, just starting out, similarly to you. I guess one of the things we wanted to make was a biiiit too big for a first newbie project? I was doing well with the art, b...

Re: Blink/talking animations, how to put a character togethe

Ok, there is a way to do this. Instead of using Animation there is another way to define the blinking. Like so: image mikuBlink: "mikudefault.png" # Miku with her eyes open choice: 1.5 choice: 4.5 choice: 1.0 # ^ these are the random interval values in seconds. You can have as many of thos...

Re: Blink/talking animations, how to put a character togethe

You don't actually need to cut it in any way, but the reason you might want to is for optimisation purposes. (Having tons of full images might end up taking a lot of unnecessary memory. ) Then animating is very simple: image mikuBlink = Animation("blink1.png", 2.5, "blink2.png", ...

Re: The possibility of including codes at the end of a chapt

That's entirely possible. I guess the simplest way to do this is display the code at the end of the chapter and then at the beginning of the next one, use Text Input and prompt the player to enter the code. Then you can use if statements to determine if the code was correct or not. (You might want t...

Re: Showing two screens at the same time?

Just another suggestion but what about using ui.interact? That way you can show as many screens as you want and this will prevent the player from being able to simply click and skip the screens. Something like this: label start: show screen weekday_morning show screen open_information python: ui.int...

Re: Dear Mariko [Short Eerie Horror, Romance]

I just finished playing through this! It was quite nice. I got the normal ending first and wasn't sure how to even trigger the other endings but I somehow managed to do it after some going back and forth. However, I think I missed the point? Even after getting the true ending, I was a bit confused ...

Re: Point and Click Adventure Coding Questions + Help

I'm glad it worked! Hm, there's several ways you could do that. For example you could have a variable that serves like a counter and you add +1 to it every time the player looks at something and when it reacher 3, use an if statement to trigger an event. However, this could be a problem if the playe...

Re: Point and Click Adventure Coding Questions + Help

Oh, I can guess what the problem is! auto "journal_%s.png" - this bit. Let me explain it to you. This is a function that automatically, as its name suggests, creates an 'idle' and 'hover' state for your imagebutton. Let's say your idle is just the basic image but you want the hover to have...

Re: Point and Click Adventure Coding Questions + Help

There's a lot of discussions on the topic. The simplest way to do a simple point and click would be with imagemaps. http://www.renpy.org/doc/html/screens.html#imagemap-statements Here's another topic that talks about similar things: http://lemmasoft.renai.us/forums/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=31949 Scre...
