Can't use image directory call with dots in filename

[dorne]

I have a file called ball.0001.png, placed in the game/images folder. When attempting to call it in script.rpy, it shows the default image. Changing ball.0001.png to ball-0001.png works fine.

You shouldn't be using dots in file names, except before the file extension. https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/displayi ... -directory
To completely get rid of any possible problems, your file name should actually be

Code: Select all

ball_0001.png

or

Code: Select all

ball 0001.png

if you want to use 'ball' as a name tag.

I see. The program I use opentoonz renders image sequence names as the name dot four number sequence dot png.

If this is not allowed in Ren'Py, I'll need to create a script to convert my image sequences to the appropriate naming scheme. Thanks!
