@scorlight: You only need to define the images once. They don't need to be in the same file as the gallery. Note that image unlocking is handled automatically by Ren'Py. Could you copy the relevant lines of the code?

@Carrogath: The code looks fine to me. Could you upload the whole thing (with images included)?

@Kagehide: Firstly check that all the images cg13-cg20 are acutally defined and there are no typos.
You'll probably also want to add unlock conditions to the buttons.

Code: Select all

      if gal_item == "cg12":
            g_deus.image("cg13")
            g_deus.unlock("cg13")
            g_deus.image("cg14")
            g_deus.unlock("cg14")
            #...

Or:

Code: Select all

      if gal_item == "cg12":
            g_deus.unlock_image("cg13")
            g_deus.unlock_image("cg14")
            #...

First: Your code is awesome!!!!
Second: I use this in one project and it's working perfectly; but I´m use that in a new project and not working and check it often but I not find the error.

Screens.rpy:

Code: Select all

init python:
    #Las opciones de galeria empiezan acá
    #lista de las imagenes del CG gallery aquí:
    gallery_cg_items = ["Imagen01"]
    #Cuantas filas y columnas en la pantalla de la galería?
    gal_rows = 1
    gal_cols = 2
    #thumbnail size in pixels (lo cambie):
    thumbnail_x = 267
    thumbnail_y = 150
    #El ajuste anterior (267x150) va a funcionar bien con una relación de pantalla de 16:9. Asegúrese de ajustar, si es que está utilizando 4:3 o algo más.
    #Opciones de galeria terminadas
   
    gal_cells = gal_rows * gal_cols   
    g_cg = Gallery()
    for gal_item in gallery_cg_items:
        g_cg.button(gal_item + " butt")
        g_cg.image(gal_item)
        g_cg.unlock(gal_item)
            
    g_cg.transition = fade
    cg_page=0
   
init +1 python:
    #Acá nosotros hacemos la miniatura. Una imagen en miniatura, que nosotros creamos en escalas de grises para los BGs, pero creamos una imagen especial de "bloqueado" para los CGs para prevenir spoilers.
    for gal_item in gallery_cg_items:

            $ next_cg_page = cg_page + 1           
            if next_cg_page > int(len(gallery_cg_items)/gal_cells):

            for j in range(i, (cg_page+1)*gal_cells): #necesitamos esto para llenar completamente la cuadricula
                null
        frame:

                    textbutton _("Siguiente") action [SetVariable('cg_page', next_cg_page), ShowMenu("cg_gallery")]

Some parts that is in spanish because is my lenguage, I speak a simple english.

Below I put the image with the error listed me, and in this part:

Code: Select all

(598)init +1 python:
    #Acá nosotros hacemos la miniatura. Una imagen en miniatura, que nosotros creamos en escalas de grises para los BGs, pero creamos una imagen especial de "bloqueado" para los CGs para prevenir spoilers.
    for gal_item in gallery_cg_items:
(591)       renpy.image (gal_item + " butt", im.Scale(ImageReference(gal_item), thumbnail_x, thumbnail_y))

PD: I use the Ren'py version 6.18.0

Hey! I'm not sure if this thread is still being replied to, but I keep getting an in-game error message in red text: Image 'wCG' can't take parameters "butt" (perhaps you got the same wrong?) I know someone had this problem earlier on, but I couldn't find the actual solution in the replies

I removed all the background stuff, as I only want a CG gallery. Help?

edit: I should add I know next to nothing about coding, so I apologise it the answer to my problem is very obvious :/

Cousin Leon, is there a way for you to give me the character gallery code/tutorial I really wanted to make one for my Visual Novel!!Please help!!

Hi Leon! This code has made my life 100x easier, so thank you for that.

I had a bit of a customization related question for you. Is there a way to have thumbnail specific images? What I mean by this is that I want every button in the menu to have the same white border that my gallocked.png has. So I thought about making unique images for each button, but then I realized that I wouldn't want that version to show up in the actual zoomed image viewing (I already have a good idea of how to sneak them into the game for the sake of unlocking, it's just a matter of not including the button image in the viewer).

Hopefully that makes sense. I guess the core of what I'm trying to say is that I get annoyed at the inconsistency of button borders in my gallery, and I wanted to know if there was a way to make everything have a border without having to view the bordered image first.

I'm kind of lost here: how do I set an unlocking condition for a CG art?

Posted: **Sun Jun 14, 2015 11:34 am**

See the documentation. By default they get unlocked when the player views them.

Posted: **Fri Jun 19, 2015 1:03 pm**

Hello and thank you for this great script! After some work I managed to make it work.
Although I have a question. My cg gallery contains transparent pictures (.png) without background. How can I add a background image when I click to open and enlarge a cg picture?

Thanks again!

Posted: **Sat Jun 20, 2015 1:46 pm**

Like this:

Code: Select all

g_cg.image(background_image, gal_item)

Posted: **Sun Jun 21, 2015 2:00 pm**

Exactly like that! Thank you so much for your help!
I know it was too obvious, but I am a starter in renpy scripting! Cheers

!

Posted: **Tue Aug 04, 2015 12:25 pm**

Hello! My code is working completely fine, but I was wonder if there's a way to add a white or custom border onto the unlocked CG's in the gallery just to fancy it up a bit?

Edit: Nevermind, I figured it out.

Also the BG Gallery option won't show in the main menu:

textbutton _("BG Gallery") action ShowMenu("bg_gallery")
