We're still getting a couple of customers for MD that can't even launch games until they're taught the software-mode-switch trick; not MANY, but then, most people who can't launch the demo probably just delete it and don't tell me. IIRC the last one was a windows 7 user, not exactly an ancient computer...

Your DX is out of date - you can fix that by running the setup program in the lib directory (but watch out for the bing toolbar).

edit: nevermind read badly what you wrote

I've downloaded the DX9 and will test it now.

Yes same here, that's why the Angle/DX port is a very good news - if an user doesn't have both GL AND DX working, then I don't know how he/she can play ANY game

What's more, by including the DX installer, if both GL and DX fail, there's a really obvious fix.

Can you try a shift+U update? This was a different (but related) prediction error. It's hard to tell if it's corresponding to a bug in your code, or if it's just aggressive prediction.

Same bug (I think):

Ah, wait in that screen I use the old Tooltip code you wrote time ago in forums, you think might be related to that?

Code: Select all

    class Tooltip(object):
        def __init__(self,id):
            self.id=id;self.ok=None;self.bk=renpy.store.tipT
        def show(self):
            self.ok = True
            renpy.store.tipT=self.id
            if renpy.store.genhelp!=0:
                renpy.restart_interaction()
        def hide(self):
            if self.ok:
                renpy.store.tipT=self.bk
                self.ok = False
            if renpy.store.genhelp!=0:
                renpy.restart_interaction()

I don't get this - but it's possible this isn't even the relevant code. I went ahead and added a check to Text, causing it to error out if it gets a non-string, non-displayable argument. That will at least indicate the error in the correct place.

shift+U gets you 1596, which has the fix.

Posted: **Sun Sep 04, 2011 3:40 pm**

Ah lol yes. I had a variable on overlay related to tooltip (TipT) set to False. So was a bug in my code, though previous Text allowed you to display "False" (wasn't displaying anything). I put TipT="" and now works! will keep testing now.

I found an audio bug, but is so hard to explain for me that I made two videos!

The code queue different musics in a loop to form a continuous song:
$renpy.music.queue(["snd/ending1.ogg","snd/ending1.ogg","snd/ending2.ogg","snd/ending2.ogg"],loop=True)
in the old version the music "sounds right" without any noticeable changes / differences:
http://www.winterwolves.net/old.wmv
in the new version, you can clearly hear when each new loop begins:
http://www.winterwolves.net/new.wmv

is hard for the to explain it in English, hope the videos are clear enough (the audio in particular). You can hear the problem in the new.wmv at second 6, 16, 25 clearly I think.

Can you attach the files? (Or email them to me?) I'll need them to figure out what's going wrong. (I upgraded ffmpeg, which could be the problem.)

Posted: **Sun Sep 04, 2011 6:11 pm**

You mean the audio files? will email them now!

Posted: **Sun Sep 04, 2011 9:53 pm**

The audio problem stemmed from a bug in the most recent ffmpeg. I've switched over to libav for now - it's a fork, but it's the one used by debian and ubuntu, and so is probably more stable.

Posted: **Mon Sep 05, 2011 10:38 am**

Ren'Py 6.13.0.1598 is up. It includes the move to libav, the error when you try to display a non-string as text, less-bad behavior in the case of a Frame where the borders are larger than the source image, and various packaging fixes.

Posted: **Mon Sep 05, 2011 10:43 am**

As soon as I have some time I'm planning to slowly update my oldest games to the DX version and do some promotional sales, this way you should get a much better testing (on larger scale)
