Best way to style text conditionally?

Let's say you want to ask the player a lot of questions. Each of the menu choices will be colored differently depending on whether or not the player has agreed for help. menu: "Do you want my help?" "Yes": $help=True "No": $help=False menu: "How do you feel about t...

[SOLVED] How to Autoforward a Scene without User Input?

Is there a way to transition to the next screen after a few seconds automatically? With or without player input? The scene only contains a block of text. If I use: "TEXTTEXTTEXTTEXT" with Pause (2.0) ....this pauses the screen but the player still needs to click to continue. If I use, &quo...

[SOLVED].rpa file in the game directory?

Is there any reason why an .rpa file would be IN the "game" directory? I thought .rpas were created solely from the process of compiling a new build. I have a a file called data.rpa in an uncompiled game directory, was going to remove it, then test the game to make sure it wasn't needed. I...

Re: Out of Memory Error

Thanks, Imperf3kt! I'm afraid I'm a complete noob at using that command. My search turned up a few forum posts didn't turn up anything about the basics. Do I simply add it to the beginning of a scene? And not sure if it matters, but: config.predict_screens = False config.predict_screen_statements = ...

Re: Achievements

Hmmm, I remember getting nothing as well when testing on Steam the first time around. I believe I followed the additional steps in the thread I linked to get them to show up, but unfortunately I can't remember the details since it's been a while. :/

Out of Memory Error

For some reason a few players are encountering an "out of memory" error when playing through a certain scene, at different points in the scene. I can't seem to replicate this, and it doesn't happen for everyone, so I'm having difficulty pinpointing the problem. The two sprites are such tha...

Re: Achievements

Do you mean like

Code: Select all

$achievement.grant("plant_killer")
I just insert that after a character ends up killing a plant in the script.

And yes, I believe that's the achievement ID.

This has more info:

Re: Is it better to have one large script or multiple smaller ones?

I believe I asked this question a while ago and the answer was that it doesn't matter in terms of performance. In terms of organization, I find it easier to have multiple files to allow me to search/replace things for one particular section instead of the entire script at once (which can still be do...

Re: End of line expected

Those lines listed in the errors are neither labels, menus, nor menu options. If you're just having a character say something, and then jumping to a new label, you don't need a :. Also are those lines ONLY supposed to show up if you jump to a specific label? (Like label around: or label jdoesntshow)...

[SOLVED] Best Practices for Allowing Easily Patchable Files?

What's the recommended way to compile a game to easily allow .rpy-based bug fixes? (Asking because I won't be using the automatic Renpy updater.) From what I understand it's: 1. compile the game, excluding the .rpy files, and archiving the .rpyc files separately 2. if there are any bugs in the scrip...
