[solved] Skip Mode Text

#1 Post by Kaen »

When skipping, it is displayed on the screen the text "Skip Mode".

How can I customize it? Like change the text and style.

You can disable it by setting the config variable to False. You can modify the "skip_indicator" style if you want to change the text style.

To change the text itself I think you'd have to replace that part of renpy/common/00library.rpy under the skip_indicator function. If you are uncomfortable messing with Ren'Py's guts, you can set up a higher number init python block that removes the original indicator from the overlay and adds your own version of the skip indicator function with a custom message.

Code: Select all

init -5 python:

    config.overlay_functions.remove(skip_indicator)   

    def skip_indicator():

        ### skip_indicator default
        # (text) The style and placement of the skip indicator.

        if config.skip_indicator is True:

            if config.skipping == "slow" and config.skip_indicator:
                ui.text(_(u"My Skip Mode Message"), style='skip_indicator')

            if config.skipping == "fast" and config.skip_indicator:
                ui.text(_(u"My Fast Skip Mode Message"), style='skip_indicator')

            return

        if not config.skip_indicator:
            return

        if not config.skipping:
            return

        ui.add(renpy.easy.displayable(config.skip_indicator))

    config.overlay_functions.append(skip_indicator)

Also, you could just "translate" this text to another. like

Code: Select all

config.translations[u'Skip Mode'] = u'Mode Skip'

Thank you very much saguaro and Alex!

@edit
What the "u" means on the u'Mode Skip'

Well, this "u" tells Ren'Py that text in quotes might have some non ascii characters - http://www.renpy.org/wiki/renpy/doc/ref ... g_Ren%27Py
