How to make independient game "chapters"? D:

[Chocolat]

Hello!
I am doing a game with ren'py and I want to make it in different chapters.
The game is a dating sim, and i want to add events or make the story longer, so I need to know how can I do something like that that you can install without lose the saved files and love points etc..

Please help me!

And thank you ! ^^

Thank you, now the second chapter knows that i played de 1st, but love points are not saved
How can i do that?

Something like this should work (ripped off from the wiki example)

Code: Select all

$ mp.love_points = 10
$ mp.save()

It doesn't work T^T

There isn't a way to only install the data of the new chapter and make it work just loading the save data on the 1st chapter? I mean...just add new information instead of run it like a different game.

Maybe work around the points system? I'm not sure it's possible to save the love points, but what if you make > 15 into the "love" continuation and < 15 "friendship" continuation?
Just saying. I don't know much myself.

Good luck, tho!

Sorry (didn't saw your reply before)

anyway, it should work.
Can you show the code you are using to save and load the multi-persistent data?

I'm using the code I saw on the page...

In the first chapter:

Code: Select all

init:
 $ mp = MultiPersistent("lsf.org")
label start:

# game

$ mp.beat_part_1 = True
$ mp.love_points = 10
$ mp.save() 

And in the second part:

Code: Select all

init:
 $ mp = MultiPersistent("lsf.org")

label start:
if mp.beat_part_1 = True

#...

And it know that i have passed the first part, but not my love points.

[DragoonHP]

First of all, everything under the label start should be indented.

And just a guess, but try to call $ mp.save() after $ mp.beat_part_1 = True too.
So that

Code: Select all

$ mp.beat_part_1 = True
$ mp.save() 
$ mp.love_points = 10
$ mp.save()
