Re: Setting persistent data

I figured it out. Forgot to set ending_1 to true after selecting one of the two choices.

Setting persistent data

So I'm planning to make a VN with route locking, and have been messing around trying to figure out how to get it to write to the persistent data. Here is the code I've got so far. ## here we check labels to decids which route to show next label check: if persisent.ending_1: if persistent.ending_2: i...

Re: Looking for beta testers for a zombie apocalypse game

Hmm. Sounds interesting. I'm up for being a beta--tester, though skype's out unfortunately, as I'm on linux and they haven't put a release out for 4 years now.

I managed about ten minutes of the first episode before I had to stop. That show will give you nightmares.

Re: How to make a "character name" bold?

It's a lot to take in. When it comes to reading the documentation, read through what you're focusing on once, then step back and look over a few scripts. After that, come back after a day or two and read it again. Basically you want to let the information sink in, then look at it again. Doing it thi...

This, https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/dialogue.html#defining-character-objects and this, https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/style_properties.html#text-style-properties will give you your answer. Heres an example of what it would look like define e = Character("Eileen", who_bold=False, who_itali...

Re: Worst anime you have ever watched?

School Days is actually pretty good, as it delivers it's intended message quite well. It is written to make you hate the characters, and to leave you with a deep feeling of disgust. Due to this it is hated, but it is exceedingly well done. With SAO I found the Aincrad Arc to be the worst part of it,...

Themes

So I've been poring over the documentation to get a handle on the language. Something I cant seem to figure out though is themes, and how exactly they are defined. Within the base launcher there are 11 pre-defined themes, which give you a basis to start off of, along with numerous colour schemes pre...

Re: Using an if statement within an if statement?

Something else to remember, as it'll trip you up as you get further in, is you want to close out a conditional statement with else, and not elif.

conditional statements are structured as

Code: Select all

if
elif
else
with else closing them out.

Re: Lesser Known Titles?

One I never really hear spoken about, but that I really liked, Venus Versus Virus. The anime is great, and the manga so much more. Another one I'd say isn't that mainstream, Karin. Also, Modern Magic Made Simple.

All three are really good and worth checking out.

Re: Voice Replay is Not Possible After Hiding Windows

I tend to put that down to how Ren'py calls the voice file. The trigger for the sound file is tied to the text appearing on screen. I don't know if theres any way around it, as with any engine, the trigger for a sound file is predefined in the script. It may be possible to have it trigger by clickin...

Re: Python Version

Thanks. Figured it was still python2, but for the life of me I couldn't find the answer no matter where I looked.

Python Version

This is probably going to sound like a stupid question, but what version of Python is the base for Ren'py. Is it still using Python2 or has it moved over to Python3?
