In-game when you click the middle mouse button (or wheel) it removes the dialogue box etc, so you can view the image on screen clearly, that's cool, but when you click again to bring the dialogue box back, often the side images will not reappear.

That's odd. Can you put together an example of this for me?

Hi PyTom, thanks for the reply, I've actually worked out how to recreate it, it's the code from the documentation (to transition side images smoothly).
Code: Select all
transform same_transform(old, new):
old
new with Dissolve(0.2, alpha=True)
define config.side_image_same_transform = same_transform
If the code above is incorporated in a project, that's when the issue happens.

The official Ren'Py page for Image Galleries (
https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/rooms.ht ... ery.Action) doesn't have mention of the style ="empty" portion of the make_button function. Since this ensures that the entire area of the button in the CG gallery works properly to transition to the CG image, it may be worth adding to the documentation in some form. For example:
Code: Select all
add g.make_button("gallery_button", "testbutton.png", xalign=0.5, yalign=0.5)
makes it so that only the top portion of the button can be pressed. However:
Code: Select all
add g.make_button("gallery_button", "testbutton.png", style="empty", xalign=0.5, yalign=0.5, locked=False)
fixes this error. If this error is prone to happen for other projects, hopefully it would be useful.
Thank you for the help.

I have noticed that the label "before_main_menu" doenst clears itself when entering the main menu screen and stays behind the main menu content. I dont know if this is normal or not, but when you return from in-game to the main menu the content too doenst stays so i "think" it might be unintended.

I made a small thread about this one, but inasmuch as I love RenPy, my big gripe is the encryption of assets. Is there a way to do that?

It'd be nice if the "window hide" statement has an option to affect overlay screens, not just the dialogue window. Because it just doesn't look right if you hide the window and have any UI stuff left in the overlays (like the quick menu, and any custom stuff like a date box). I have to resort to doing this and it's very inconvenient:
Code: Select all
$suppress_overlay = True
window hide dissolve
# stuff here...
$suppress_overlay = False
window auto
I had to dig through the Ren'Py code to even find there's a "suppress_overlay" variable.

I have mention it here –
viewtopic.php?f=32&t=52551, but if you put too much choices into the choice screen, it overflows.
My current solution is this:
Code: Select all
screen choice(items):
style_prefix "choice"
viewport id "choices":
draggable True
mousewheel "change"
area (234, 0, 812, 535)
vbox:
for i in items:
textbutton i.caption action i.action
I believe that making something similar an official part of screens.rpy would increase the flexibility a bit, but there is a problem with this particular code.
It seems that
viewport have always
align set as
(0.0, 0.0). You can't change it no matter what you do.
I guess it's a bit more complicated in this case, but any finite solution would be fine.

Lately it seems that when building Android versions, renpy rebuilds all the previous versions as well, to the point I end up with a GB of files for a 30Mb Android .apk
I also just encountered a strange issue where trying to build a different project, names the .apk based on the other project and upon installing to an Android phone, fails with an error about jpeg decoding or some such.
Works fine in the emulator and the original project, but the second project fails despite being essentially a copy of the first prohe t except in a different aspect ratio. It's almost as if renpy is getting confused when building it.
Would be nice if renpy didn't generate the x86_64 builds unless specified to do so. Also, clearing rapt/bin after copying the files to the distribution directory

can we have an abbreviated version of "SetScreenVariable" and "ToggleScreenVariable" on the side please, I've been using them frequently and the are a hassle to type and spell check
something like "ssv()", "ssVar()", or even "ssVariable()" would work wonders.

You can easily do that yourself.

I couldn't find a way to
change default position for show also
xsize and ysize doesn't effect sliders in preferences that kept my mind wondering. may I ask for your input on those problem please?

Made some silly mouth animation.
Code: Select all
default preferences.text_cps = 200
image talking_mouth:
'talking_mouth_1'
1/preferences.text_cps
'talking_mouth_2'
1/preferences.text_cps
'talking_mouth_3'
1/preferences.text_cps
'talking_mouth_4'
1/preferences.text_cps
'talking_mouth_5'
1/preferences.text_cps
'talking_mouth_6'
1/preferences.text_cps
'talking_mouth_7'
1/preferences.text_cps
'talking_mouth_8'
1/preferences.text_cps
repeat
label main_menu:
return
label start:
show talking_mouth:
align(.5,.5)
pause
return
and it returned an exception
Code: Select all
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.
Executing ATL code at game/script.rpy:19
File "game/script.rpy", line 27, in script
File "renpy/common/000statements.rpy", line 416, in execute_pause
renpy.pause()
Exception: ATL appears to be in an infinite loop.
Lol whut ?
I mean, sure it is infinitely looped, so what? ATL entities are often looped, what's the point to even detect it?
Oh dear...
My workaround.
Code: Select all
default preferences.text_cps = 200
image talking_mouth:
.0000001
'talking_mouth_1'
1/preferences.text_cps
'talking_mouth_2'
1/preferences.text_cps
(........and so on)
