date sim relationship bar help

[Audria]

This is in response to the post: http://lemmasoft.renai.us/forums/viewto ... =8&t=15089 I'm sorry I've reposted, but since I posted in that topic and it says solved, no one has taken a look at my help need

Hi I was wondering if you could help me. I would like to use this, or something similar for my date sim I am working on. I am stumped as to how to add in a love meter to my game. Can you please help me?

Sure!
I hope that helps.

Okay, no clue what version of DSE or Ren'Py was used when you helped her out. I did everything you put in and I'm getting a crap load of errors no matter what I do. Here's the latest one:

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
  File "game\script.rpy", line 138, in script
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xed in position 24: ordinal not in range(128)

and here's the block of code it's refering to:

Code: Select all

    $ show_devon=True 
    # This makes the Meter appear.

    pause 0.5
    # This makes the meter sit there for half a second, so that when the points 
    # are added, the player can actually 'see' the meter extend.

    $ devon_love+=50
    #This adds points to the meter. 
    
    show expression Text("{color=ffffff}{font=LHFmisterkookyREG_0.TTF}+50 Love Points{/font}{/color}", 
        size=50, 
        yalign=0.5, # Centers the text -- Toward Bottom.
        xalign=0.5, # Centers the text -- Toward Right. 
        drop_shadow=(2, 2)) as text
    with dissolve
    # This is the Announcement Text for the Love Meter, including a specific font, and font color.
    # This states how many points Devon is being awarded.  
    
    $ show_devon=True
    # This is a Refresh that shows the increase in points ON the meter.

    $ renpy.pause()
    #This keeps the bar visible until the player hits a key. 

    hide text with dissolve
    # This hides the Text. 

    $ show_devon=False
    # This hides the Meter. 

the WITH DISOLVE is the line that's throwing the error

Thanks in advance for any help I can get

[Unin]

Just a thought, but hows it work without the font?

Okay, no clue what version of DSE or Ren'Py was used when you helped her out.

Renpy version 6.15.

I did everything you put in and I'm getting a crap load of errors no matter what I do.

Your code:

Code: Select all

    $ show_devon=True 
    pause 0.5
    $ devon_love+=50
    
    show expression Text("{color=ffffff}{font=LHFmisterkookyREG_0.TTF}+50 Love Points{/font}{/color}", 
        size=50, 
        yalign=0.5, 
        xalign=0.5, 
        drop_shadow=(2, 2)) as text
    with dissolve
    
    $ show_devon=True
    $ renpy.pause()

    hide text with dissolve
    $ show_devon=False

--the WITH DISSOLVE is the line that's throwing the error...

This is the code straight from my game in script.rpy, and the source of the screenshot:

Code: Select all

    $ show_giselle=True
    pause 0.5
    $ giselle_love+=50
    
    #The Announcement Text for the Love Bar
    show expression Text("{color=ffffff}{font=LHFmisterkookyREG_0.TTF}+50 Love Points{/font}{/color}", 
        size=50, 
        yalign=0.5, 
        xalign=0.5, 
        drop_shadow=(2, 2)) as text
    with dissolve
    
    $ show_giselle=True
    $ renpy.pause() 

    hide text with dissolve
    $ show_giselle=False
    
    $ clue_1_seen = True
    gi "You've created a new Ren'Py game."

Question: Do you actually have this font in your game folder?
-- LHFmisterkookyREG_0.TTF

If you don't, THIS is why you're getting errors.

ah ha! I will have to remove that I didnt even notice that the font was in there. Thank you

Edit: just wanted to say thank you. That fixed it. You are awesome, and I thank you so much for sharing your bit of code with everyone (me)!

See, that's the funny thing about coding -- every little tiny little thing counts.
