MULTIPLE QUESTIONS!? ARGHH!!? lolwut?

[Jaymer]

Yeah, I have multiple Questions!!

1) Can you move the name of the speaking character in a text box to the right?
2) Can you change the font of the speaking character in a text box?
3) Can you fade in and out a centered text?
4) Can you change the opacity of the text box?
5) Can you give the Main Menu a transition when entering and exiting the game?

Porbably more questions to come...

[N0UGHTS]

Wrong sub-forum. Might as well post before it shows up as nonexistent or my internet dies...

#2
More on registering SFonts here.

Code: Select all

        # Register the sfont contained in asfont22 as "subfont".
        renpy.register_sfont('subfont', 22,
                             filename="asfont22.png",
                             kerns=asfont22.kerns,
                             spacewidth=4)

    $ esub = Character("Eileen",
                       color="#c8ffc8",
                       what_font="subfont",
                       what_black_color="#282")

#4
I think you'll have to make your own PNG.

#5 is already in options.rpy.

Code: Select all

    ## Used when entering the game menu from the main menu.
    config.main_game_transition = None

    ## Used when returning to the main menu from the game.
    config.game_main_transition = None

    ## Used when entering the main menu from the splashscreen.
    config.end_splash_transition = None

    ## Used when entering the main menu after the game has ended.
    config.end_game_transition = None

1) Can you move the name of the speaking character in a text box to the right?

Oh ya. Check out the demo to see some of the stuff you can do. There's a lot of ways to do what you're askin that i can think of, and which one is best depends on what kind of look you're going for exactly. Try putting these two lines in an init block:

Code: Select all

$ style.say_vbox.xfill = True
$ style.say_label.xalign = 1.0

2) Can you change the font of the speaking character in a text box?

You can have every character with their own font. Again check the demo to see. To use font.ttf while talking:

Code: Select all

$ e = Character('Eileen', what_font='font.ttf')

3) Can you fade in and out a centered text?

Yes, and again, this is done in the demo. ^_^; You really should check out the demo source:

Code: Select all

show black
with dissolve

centered "Centred text."

hide black
with dissolve

Course, there's a ton of other ways to do this, too, if that's not exactly what you're looking for.

4) Can you change the opacity of the text box?

Yes, with styles. In an init section you can do this:

Code: Select all

$ style.window.background = '#0002'

Change the 2 to 8, 9 or a to make it more opaque, f to make it totally black.

5) Can you give the Main Menu a transition when entering and exiting the game?

Yes, if you look in options.rpy for your game. Go down to line 200 or so... and see the list of transitions you can change. ^_^;

[Jaymer]

I love you~~
I might have some more questions to come so... yeah...
Anyway, where should've I put this? -always gets confusssssed-

[N0UGHTS]

Try the Ren'Py sub-forum.

I suggest combing through the demo, the Cookbook, and maybe the Reference Manual if you think you can handle some h4x0r 5p33k.

[Jaymer]

Thanks c:
Also:

6) Can you make a click-to-continue indicator for normal mode, (not nvl_mode)?

[N0UGHTS]

Code: Select all

    # With a nestled click-to-continue indicator.
    $ ectc = Character('Eileen',
                       color="#c8ffc8",
                       ctc=anim.Blink("arrow.png"))


    # With a fixed-position ctc indicator.
    $ ectcf = Character('Eileen',
                        color="#c8ffc8",
                        ctc=anim.Filmstrip("sakura.png", (20, 20), (2, 1), .30, xpos=760, ypos=560, xanchor=0, yanchor=0),
                        ctc_position="fixed")

It's in the demo. And nestled is right after the text...

[Jaymer]

Another Question... too many...
7) What is a good size for character mugs? Like the reactions and what not. (My game window is 640x480)

[N0UGHTS]

640 x 480? Wow... :Remembers back to '03:

I've actually got a collection of screencapped textbox sprites... The ones from my 640 games are about 155 x 165 pixels.

[ioze]

Code: Select all

    # With a nestled click-to-continue indicator.
    $ ectc = Character('Eileen',
                       color="#c8ffc8",
                       ctc=anim.Blink("arrow.png"))


    # With a fixed-position ctc indicator.
    $ ectcf = Character('Eileen',
                        color="#c8ffc8",
                        ctc=anim.Filmstrip("sakura.png", (20, 20), (2, 1), .30, xpos=760, ypos=560, xanchor=0, yanchor=0),
                        ctc_position="fixed")

It's in the demo. And nestled is right after the text...

what about non character ctc?

example :
ectcf"...i must be dreaming..."
"And then i open my eyes..." --> if something like this, how we add ctc pics?

[PyTom]

"Hello world."

is equivalent to

narrator "Hello world."

so if you redefine narrator, it will change how that looks.

[Jaymer]

lol new question + topic bump!!

Can you use an image crop for credits?
Say your game screen is 640 x 480, can you use a 640 x 1024 sized image as credits? Like, make it scroll down, (the image that is), to the end?

[N0UGHTS]

Ren'Py Demo, Positions and Movement.

Another Question 8DD
How can I make it so that there is no game menu, or main menu?
-just a short game lol-

[delta]

>no main menu

Code: Select all

label main_menu:
    $ renpy.jump_out_of_context("start")

>no game menu

Code: Select all

init -1 python:
    def gm_catcher():
        ui.add(renpy.Keymap(game_menu=ui.returns(None)))

    config.overlay_functions.append(gm_catcher)

Both not tested and typed from memory, but I think they should work.
