Re: Animated Title Screen?

Oh.

You can't mix calls to layout.* with screen language. You'll have to define your imagemap inside the screen. See http://www.renpy.org/doc/html/screens.h ... statements for the syntax.

Re: "Exception: Could not set video mode"

Odd, usually people reporting this issue have old Intel graphics drivers. Anyway, if you press SHIFT+G, you can force Ren'Py to use a different graphics rendering mode; that often helps. Also, you might want to make sure your graphics drivers are up-to-date. (Steam has a convenient "Check for V...

Re: Quick question about point-based systems

Do you care what the behavior is if multiple stats are tied?

A bit more readable this time:

Code: Select all

    $ (max_points, max_index) = max(zip(stat_list, range(10)))
    if max_points < 10:
        jump failed
    jump expression ("discussionstat" + max_index)

Re: Animated Title Screen?

You should be able to use a transparent PNG; that way, the animation will show through the imagemap.

Re: Dynamic character name translation

Something like the following?

Code: Select all

define sally= DynamicCharacter("sally_name")

label start:
    $ sally_name = _("Sally")
    sally "Hi"
    $ sally_name = _("Lover")
    sally "Let's have sex"
If not, please describe more precisely what you want.

Re: Scene gallery with image

There isn't really any builtin way to do it, but it isn't too hard to write yourself. Really simple example: screen replay_gallery: tag menu vbox: button: action If(persistent.saw_myfirstscene, Replay("myfirstscene")) text "Scene1" button: action If(persistent.saw_mysecondscene, ...

Re: Placing images dynamically in a for loop

Whole numbers and fractional numbers are treated differently by position properties, so you're positioning your images thousands of pixels off the screen. See http://www.renpy.org/doc/html/style.htm ... rty-values.

Re: On Asking Questions

If you're worried about posting too many questions, the best rule of thumb is just make sure that you've made a serious attempt to figure it out on your own, and that you take the time to compose your question so that it's clear. Don't worry about the raw number of questions.

Look at the example saguaro posted again. You have the if statement in the wrong spot.

Re: Rows & Columns - hbox / vbox problems (I think)

This is basically a blind guess, but I'm guessing your images are too big. The hbox+vbox should lead to something which looks roughly like this, which you expect: X X X X X X But suppose your images are 800x600. Then even though the layout is exactly what you want it to be, the user sees something l...
