Accessibility brightness and contrast options

[Gouvernathor]

This is some code allowing the players to customize the brightness and contrast of the game.
Be warned that it forbids you the use of the camera and show-layer-at statements, and that passing excessive values will make the screen entirely black, white or gray and in that case you won't be able to change them using the GUI (which will be invisible).

Code: Select all

init python:
    import functools
    def layer_color_function(trans, st, at):
        trans.matrixcolor = BrightnessMatrix(persistent.brig)*ContrastMatrix(persistent.cont)
        return None

define layer_color = Transform(function=layer_color_function)

default persistent.brig = 0.
default persistent.cont = 1.

define config.after_default_callbacks += [functools.partial(renpy.show_layer_at, [layer_color], "screens", camera=True),
                                          functools.partial(renpy.show_layer_at, [layer_color], "master", camera=True)]

You will also need to add GUI access to those values, for example by adding this to your preferences screens, but I warn again : the excessive values at the extremes of the resulting bars will render the game essentially invisible. If you do that by mistake, click "delete persistent" in the launcher - but the players won't have that option.

Code: Select all

                    label _("Brightness")

                    bar value FieldValue(persistent, "brig", 2., style="slider_slider", offset=-1)

                    label _("Contrast")

                    bar value FieldValue(persistent, "cont", 2., style="slider_slider")

Here, the brightness goes from -1. to 1.0 (from 0 to 2 with an offset of -1) an the contrast goes from .0 to 2., but you can make it go further up (I don't know up to what value though).

Good code, thanks!

Im getting the following error msj, any idea what could be wrong?

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

You're not using the last version of Ren'Py.

[Imperf3kt]

You could always try Ren'Pys built in accessibility menu

Code: Select all

textbutton "accessibility" action Preference("accessibility menu")

That worked, tks!

I put it in the preferences menu and worked great. I leave the code here in case anyone else is having troubles.

Im not familiar with that menu, but I will give it a try as well. Tks!
