Hi, I was wondering if anybody could help figure how to set up a development environment so that I can start developing on RenPy. I have an Idea and I want to get started....but were do I start. I at least started a git account and forked Renpy and manage to get it down on my machine. So what I'm asking what tools I would need to develop, compile, and test my modified code of Renpy?
Edit: Oh and if anybody wonder the IDE I'm using is Geany cause I'm most fimiliar with it.

Re: Start Developing on RenPy
Right now, getting started developing is much harder than it should be.
What OS are you developing for? To really get going, you'll need to compile the Ren'Py modules. If you're on Linux, that's pretty easy - outside of Linux, it becomes much harder.

Re: Start Developing on RenPy
okay I'm developing under linux with ubuntu 12.04 as my distro of choice. I'm very fimiliar with the command line so if you give the comand lines and some instructions that qould be really great. The part I want to develop for is the voice part like adding a way to turn off individual character's voice.

Re: Start Developing on RenPy
Some interim directions, until I get a better version:
* Download 6.14.1.
* Clone Ren'Py from github.
* Copy the linux* and python* directories from the lib directories in 6.14.1 to the lib directory in the checkout.
You should then be able to run the checkout by running ./renpy.sh
The voice code is in common/00voice.rpy

Re: Start Developing on RenPy
Okay I got it up and running now, I'll open issue on the renpy/renpy git repository concerning what I want to do and get some feed back before starting.
Edit: here is the link to the git issue - https://github.com/renpy/renpy/issues/32
