Wouldn't FLIF be a better option if people really really wanted/needed a more versatile and efficient image compression format? FLIF - GNU LGPL (platform) or Apache (decoder part) licence (like many libraries already bundled with Ren'Py) - Out-performs webp and bpg on all types of images. BPG - Runs...

Also note:
You can use simplified DynamicImages if your image names actually reflect your variables: Would show "images/img0.png" while score is 0, "images/img1.png" while 1 etc

If you have altered the FieldValue, try adding max_is_zero=True to the attributes. If it is not that, perhaps show your code so we can try to help.

True yup, labels in Ren'Py access the global scope directly.
Screens too will read the global scope if they cannot find a local version of the variable, though you shouldn't be altering variables inside screens - just reading them.

Yes, to alter a global variable within a class method or function you would need to call global or access it through the globals namespace:

No problem.

On an aside; In future do

[code]Your Code Here[/code]

as it will preserve indentation and make it easier to read, e.g.:

show TBU at center (new sprite) behind jel2, jel3

Alternatively:

show TBU at center as TBH

*should* just replace TBH with TBU

Just to add to this, it maybe better to define just one image tag set and add a variable part rather than mc_male, mc_female etc:

image mc = "images/mc_[gender].png"

(or even a Composite or LayeredImage using the gender interpolation)

I think video alpha (transparency) in Ren'Py is mostly done with an accompanying mask video. Have you tried that? video mask

Alternatively (though potentially much larger filesize) you could use a DynamicDisplayable to return a frame based upon the shown timebase. I'd suggest using a mask though.

I semi hate to say this (seeing how much work you have obviously done already) ... It might be best to try Python datetime objects through Ren'Py output translation... init python: import datetime class GameTime(object): def __init__(self, dt="Jan 01 2018"): self._dt = datetime.datetime.st...

For more *precision*... if Choice1.startswith( "Pos" ): "True: Startswith Pos" elif Choice1.endswith( "Mary" ): "True: Endswith Mary" elif Choice1[:3] == "Pos": # first 3 letters "True: Starts Pos" elif Choice1[-4:].lower() == "john&qu...

I'd just create a list and have it store a set of 'accessible' values then open them at end and access labels if unlocked... default accessible_extras = [ False ] * 5 # 5 endings here - expands to [False, False, False etc ] label ending_0: "words" $ accessible_extras[0] = True label extra_...

You need to use the Replay() action, not Start, then use the locked attribute action Replay( "meaning_of_life", locked=True ) # only clickable if meaning_of_life has been played through at least once. Alternatively, if you insist on using Start or Jump or whatever you will need to implemen...

Maydoh, where did you find the documentation on the set feature of menu? I couldn't find it anywhere in the Ren'Py documentation and that feature is awesome! Can't find any documentation on it, but I saw someone mention it a few days ago in another thread. Might have been me who mentioned it and, l...

An image will, unless adjusted, be positioned based upon its top left corner. For your case it would be nicer to use the centre pixel or maybe the one at the base in the middle, so we use anchors: transform my_left: anchor (0.5, 1.0) # 0.5 of the x direction (middle) 1.0 of the y (base) xalign 0.2 #...
