Ren'Py 6.11.0 Public Pre-Release

Okay, I've made Ren'Py 6.11 available as a pre-release from
http://www.renpy.org/.
At this point, I'm trying to figure out where we're standing with regard to testing. Specifically, I'm wondering if there are any people left who are getting crashes in GL-mode, or other major crashes that would prevent you from running an otherwise-correct game.

I just posted 6.11.0f. Changes include:
- Added sample screens to the documentation. (And also fixed several bugs in screen actions.)
http://www.renpy.org/doc/html/screen_special.html
- The documentation now explains what to do if Ren'Py has problem with the GL on your system.
http://www.renpy.org/doc/html/display_problems.html
- Transforms now pass events to child transforms.
- Movies are played back in unbuffered mode, which prevents skipping when looping a movie multiple times.
- Mugenjohncel's video card (S3 DeltaChrome with driver version 20) is now blacklisted.
- References to the store object can now be pickled.
- Fixed problems with text when line spacing is negative.
- Screenshots are taken only from the main thread. This fixes a crash on the mac.
- Screenshots are now taken in the correct aspect ratio, with letterboxing removed.
Once again, thanks to everyone who has tested 6.11, especially people who have found problems. As much as I hate having problems found, it beats them lurking undetected.

NVL mode extend fails to extend the line and messes up the window after a "window hide".
(and maybe I should use "nvl hide" instead which doesn't cause this effect but I'm sure "window hide" shouldn't be doing that either...) A very similar effect often shows up after a Shift+R developer reload keypress.
Here's the minimal replication script:
Code: Select all
init:
# Characters
define narrator = NVLCharacter(None, kind = nvl,
window_top_margin=6,
window_bottom_margin=6,
)
# Quoted speech macro
define q = NVLCharacter(None, kind = narrator,
what_prefix = u'\u201c',
what_suffix = u'\u201d',
window_top_margin=1,
window_bottom_margin=1,
)
# The game starts here.
label start:
nvl clear
q "Here, extend..."
# I normally put a sprite change here.
extend "\n...works properly"
window hide
# some fullscreen visual stuff would be displayed here.
window show
nvl clear
q "...but after a window hide..."
# where I would put a second sprite change...
extend "...it messes up, and the mess persists, screwing up the output!"
Fixing extend not to display the extraneous suffix quote would also be very nice.

And more about events.
Code: Select all
image foo:
subpixel True
contains:
"foobase"
around (0.5,0.5)
anchor (0.5,0.5)
easein 1 rotate 360
on show:
alpha 0.0
linear 0.25 alpha 1.0
on hide:
alpha 1.0
linear 0.25 alpha 0.0
contains:
"foobase"
around (0.5,0.5)
anchor (0.5,0.5)
easein 1 rotate -360
on show:
alpha 0.0
linear 0.25 alpha 1.0
on hide:
alpha 1.0
linear 0.25 alpha 0.0
Events apparently don't get propagated inside contained blocks, whether I 'show at center' or just 'show'. Is that as intended?

Yes, that's as intended. Events only apply to the displayable being shown, not its children.

It deserves a mention in the docs then.

Was the mac-crash bug fixed? I'm asking because I could have that tester try the game again

Wasn't it fixed in the second pre-release or something? I know recent 6.11s have run fine on my Macbook Pro.

I had an user with a crash on 6.11e, maybe I lost the count of all the versions

Yes, the mac crash (which probably could have hit all platforms, but was driver dependent) was fixed.
EDIT: The problem was actually taking a screenshot from a second thread. Most of the time, this would work - but once in a while, it would conflict with another operation, and Ren'Py would crash.

I think that's another one.
Code: Select all
# You can place the script of your game in this file.
init:
# Declare images below this line, using the image statement.
# eg. image eileen happy = "eileen_happy.png"
# Declare characters used by this game.
$ e = Character('Eileen', color="#c8ffc8")
screen main_menu:
# The background of the main menu.
window:
style "mm_root"
# The main menu buttons.
frame:
group "mm"
anchor (1.0,0.0)
pos (0.96,0.4)
has vbox
textbutton _("Start Game") action Start()
textbutton _("Load Game") action ShowMenu("load")
textbutton _("Preferences") action ShowMenu("preferences")
textbutton _("Help") action Help()
textbutton _("Quit") action Quit(confirm=False)
# The game starts here.
label start:
e "You've created a new Ren'Py game."
e "Once you add a story, pictures, and music, you can release it to the world!"
Mostly consists of examples given in the docs as is.
Pressing Shift+Y to dump styles to actually figure out where do I have to kick it to draw what I want produces this traceback:

Aand, one more. After numerous Shift+R while messing with screens and trying to get them to look right, a crash:
Code: Select all
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "renpy.py", line 140, in <module>
File "C:\Gamedrive\RenPy\renpy\bootstrap.py", line 284, in bootstrap

File "C:\Gamedrive\RenPy\renpy\exports.py", line 45, in <module>
ImportError: No module named character
Running it again continued from where it would be on Shift+R.

Code: Select all
## The background of the main menu. This can be a color

The problem (admittedly reported poorly) is the empty string for gm_root.

I think that's another bug.
The following piece of code produces a RenPy that does not react to user input, including the window close button provided by the OS. You end up having to kill the task.
Commenting out the "unhovered Hide("tooltip")" makes it work as expected (but without removing the screen on unhover, which is what was desired).
Code: Select all
init:
# Declare images below this line, using the image statement.
# eg. image eileen happy = "eileen_happy.png"
# Declare characters used by this game.
$ e = Character('Eileen', color="#c8ffc8")
screen main_menu:
# The background of the main menu.
window:
style "mm_root"
# The main menu buttons.
frame:
group "mm"
anchor (1.0,0.0)
pos (0.98,0.4)
has vbox
textbutton _("Start Game") action Start() hovered Show("tooltip") unhovered Hide("tooltip")
textbutton _("Load Game") action ShowMenu("load")
textbutton _("Quit") action Quit(confirm=False)
screen tooltip:
frame:
anchor (0.0,1.0)
pos (0.02,0.6)
has vbox
text "Meh."
# The game starts here.
label start:
e "You've created a new Ren'Py game."
e "Once you add a story, pictures, and music, you can release it to the world!"
