About releasing the game...

#1 Post by thedarkdefender » Thu Apr 04, 2013 1:20 pm

I think this question already has an answer, but I'm just unsure how to phrase it. That's why I really can't search for it. I tried to search for it but I got no results.

So.. here's the question.
When you release a game, how do you remove the contents(sprites, music etc.) from the game folder without messing up the game? So that when others download it, the game folder will be empty except for the script, options and screens.

I hope I asked clearly >.<

Thank you :D

You have to add to the archive section in the options.rpy. Basically, archive .rpy, .rpyc and .png or .jpg files.

I tried archiving the music but for some reason it doesn't work for me.

Just look here: http://lemmasoft.renai.us/forums/viewto ... 28#p241128

The instructions are valid for Ren'Py 6.14 and later versions.
