Image transitions

[Hyenan]

Hi.. this is probably a very dumb question, but it seems image transitions just won't work >_>;

Code: Select all

label start:
   
    scene <bg> with <transition>
    show <image> 

isn't that correct...? Images show up. but with no transition.

the images are fit to the screen size.. 600x450, character images=300x450 - backgrounds=600x450

Indentation is important:

Code: Select all

label chapter1:
      
   scene innercity with fade
   show rain

Usually you just need one "with" for the particular transition you want to emphasize. Another example:

Code: Select all

   hide rain
   show fog
   with dissolve

[Hyenan]

Yeah, I just forgot the spaces in the post above, sorry-
but but but it won't work ;_;

it looks like this.

Code: Select all

label start:
    
    scene <bg> with <transition>
    show <image>

the images show up, but no transition.. I am doing something wrong, but what >_<

Try to set another background before the transition, usually it's white or black background color

Try looking in Preferences. Maybe the transitions are turned off.

Is it just the 'show image' which isn't getting the transition, or is the transition on the BG not happening either?

no transition at all

not even the transitions in options.rpy that should show when entering and exiting the main menu works.

Code: Select all

        config.enter_transition = dissolve
        config.exit_transition = dissolve

.. maybe I've managed to turn transitions off??

I strongly believe its got something to do with the fact I re-sized the window, cause this code:

Code: Select all

label start:

    scene bg gray
    show eileen happy with dissolve

    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!"

works in the demo, but not in my script. still I re-sized the eileen happy image to be 450pix tall, just like my window.

What version of Ren'Py are you using?

[Hyenan]

What version of Ren'Py are you using?

Ren'py 5.6.6

;_;

[PyTom]

I would try breaking the transition off into two lines:

Code: Select all

label start:
    scene bg gray
    with dissolve

    "It was a dark and stormy night."

Like that. I tried it, and it's working for me, albeit in 5.6.7. (Which hasn't come out yet.)

Also, why are you using the strange resolution of 600x450? I'd suggest going with 640x480, which is standard, and has the same aspect ratio as most monitors.

[Hyenan]

I changed the resolution to 800x600 and tried again but... It just won't work. ;_;

even if you write the "with" on it's own row.

Try deleting yourgame/saves/persistent. If that doesn't work, zip up your game and send it to me (pytom@bishoujo.us), and I'll take a closer look.
