Window Show Transitions [SOLVED]

[ayo]

Hey everyone again! ^.^
Seems I'm facing another problem I can't figure out. ;(

I'm currently programming the VN "The Taleweaver's Curse" and we wanted to implement ADV and NVL mode to the gameplay. I want a dissolve transition but I can only do that for the NVL window and not the ADV window.

If you guys want to see the code then I'll post it up but once again, if you guys know anything then I would be grateful if you care to answer my question

If you do window show, it should show the last window show, rather than an ADV or NVL window.

Is this what you're looking for?

Code: Select all

    ## Used when switching between NVL and ADV modes.
    config.adv_nvl_transition = dissolve
    config.nvl_adv_transition = dissolve

Add this to your options.rpy along with all the other config settings. Your ADV and NVL windows will now automatically use the dissolve transition when you switch between the two, you won't need to write anything else in the script. Here's more on config transitions from the documentation.

[ayo]

Unfortunately it doesn't work - not too sure if I'm doing it right though...

Here's my code for the options.rpy:

Code: Select all

## Used when the window is shown.
    config.window_show_transition = dissolve

    ## Used when the window is hidden.
    config.window_hide_transition = dissolve
    
    config.adv_nvl_transition = dissolve
    config.nvl_adv_transition = dissolve

Here's my code for the script.rpy:

Code: Select all

label start:
    stop music

    scene bg forest with fade
    with Pause(1.0)
    window show
    
    n "The forest is quiet, save for the tramp of our mounts' hooves on the ground."
    n "Even the leaves are quiet as the wind isn't blowing through the trees enough to stir them."
    n "I glance at Lenari, my handmaiden, who is riding beside me."
    n "...She looks like a princess."
    n "That proud tilt of the head, the way her hair flows gracefully down her back, they all
       conspire to paint a picture of princess-ness."
    n "I warrant that if one were to encounter us riding through this forest, that person would
       conclude that I am the handmaiden, and Lenari the princess."
    n "I don't really mind, though."
    n "It's not something I dwell upon often."
    
    nvl clear
    
    n "I miss my friends."
    n "The last time I'd seen them was a fortnight ago."
    n "That's right - that's when I told them that I would be going to Riva and be a bride to
       someone I don't even know."
    
    window hide
    nvl clear
    
    scene black with wipedown
    with Pause(0.5)
    scene flashback white with fade
    with Pause(1.0)
    
    scene bg palace with fade
    with Pause(1.0)
    
    s "Hello."

    return

What it does is that the first scene contains NVL-Mode text, but the ADV style shows first with the transition then it quickly disappears and shows the NVL window.
The second scene the ADV dialogue just appears without the transition so I'm still kinda stuck ;(

I think I should post the project so people could download it and take a look at the script and see if I'm doing it right, to make it easier to understand.

[ayo]

By the way, here's the link to the project. Download from: http://www.mediafire.com/download/s169s ... review.zip

It's only 6mb in total once you unzipped the file. The problem becomes clear if you run the project.

I want the game in the end to be a bit like Katawa Shoujo, where you have both NVL and ADV (not hard to do, just define it when establishing characters for the story) but the transitioning is what's messing it up.

So please, if anyone's got the solution to the problem, I'll be really grateful -- Thanks~

Code: Select all

    nvl show dissolve
    
    n "The forest is quiet, save for the tramp of our mounts' hooves on the ground."
    # Blah, blah, blah. Blah-blah.

    n "I miss my friends."
    n "The last time I'd seen them was a fortnight ago."
    n "That's right - that's when I told them that I would be going to Riva and be a bride to
       someone I don't even know."
    
    nvl hide dissolve
    nvl clear
    
    #blahblahblah
    
    scene bg palace with fade
    with Pause(1.0)
    
    window show
    s "Hello."

Should do the trick fo' ya. Nvl show fo' nvl windows, window show fo' ADV windows.
Just don't f'get to not mix the types up.

[ayo]

Thanks everyone for the answers! I found out thanks to Levrex -- I've made a demo so if you want to download it, head over to the "The Taleweaver's Curse" Thread.

~For the final time, thanks everyone for answering to my question now it is solved
