Ren'Py 6.99 Released

[Vegos]

This is what I can get from Event Viewer; the crash itself gives me no error log to see.

Edit: After some guesswork, I unplugged my controller (since it's a human interface device), and now it works as it should. Wouldn't have thought to check that if you asked for more details. So yep, definitely weird hardware problem. I'm using a Saitek RumblePad; in case this information is of any use

With this newer version I can't seem to open my inventory anymore and my game crashes with this error:

Code: Select all

While running game code:
  File "renpy/common/00gamemenu.rpy", line 163, in script
    $ ui.interact()
  File "renpy/common/00gamemenu.rpy", line 163, in <module>
    $ ui.interact()
  File "game/def_hud.rpy", line 413, in <module>
    use inventory_view(inventory)
  File "game/inventory.rpy", line 206, in execute
    screen inventory_view(inventory, second_inventory=False):
  File "game/inventory.rpy", line 207, in execute
    vbox:
  File "game/inventory.rpy", line 208, in execute
    if single_inventory:
NameError: name 'single_inventory' is not defined

It seems that this new version isn't reading the default anymore that are specified in a screen:

Code: Select all

screen inventory_screen(inventory):
    default single_inventory = True 
    default tt = Tooltip("")  

Did anything change related to this?

[PyTom]

A lot changed, but I'd need far more code than this to really understand what's going wrong. It does strike me that you're defining single_inventory in inventory_screen, but the error appears to be in inventory_view, so maybe that has to do with the problem. Ren'Py did become more strict about isolating screen namespaces.

[Stapper]

Sorry, I didn't want to unnecessarily flood the thread with the entire script
It worked like a charm in renpy-6.17.3, but I've been on a break and just updated to this version earlier this week to encounter this problem.

Here are the entire screens:

I hope this makes the problem more clear. Thanks for looking into it!

[PyTom]

The problem is that in recent releases, scoping became a bit stricter - if you need to use a variable in a child screen, you have to pass it in explicitly.

[PyTom]

I've made a new prerelease, Ren'Py 6.99.6.679. This has a few big changes:

- Ren'Py now has much better support for high resolution displays. Retina displays are now supported on Mac OS X and iOS - the latter support was broken by 6.99.5. On all platforms, Ren'Py will try to render text at the display resolution, rather than the game's resolution. This means that text should remain sharp even as the window is scaled up.

- Joystick support has been removed from Ren'Py, and replaced with gamepad support based on SDL2's new controller API. This API maps all sorts of gamepads to an Xbox-style controller, making standard bindings possible in the same way such bindings are possible for a keyboard and mouse.

- Ren'Py now automatically backs up .rpy files when a game changes. Files are backed up to the system-wide save directory. No more excuses for losing scripts!

Grab it by switching to the prerelease channel and updating in the launcher, or by downloading a fresh copy from:

http://www.renpy.org/dl/6.99.6/

Thanks to everyone who tests this prerelease.

[Donmai]

Thanks for your hard work, Tom. 6.99.6.679 still has a little problem: it creates the 'images' folder on every new game. That's ok, it's a great feature and any novice can understand it's the right place to put the game's image files. However, the default 'script.rpy' keeps telling the user to declare the images the old way:

Code: Select all

# Declare images below this line, using the image statement.
# eg. image eileen happy = "eileen_happy.png"

The path is incomplete and the result is an error. I believe that's why lately we're having so many threads asking "why can't Ren'Py find my images?" on Ren'Py Questions And Announcements.
I would suggest changing it to

Code: Select all

# Image files that are inside the images folder don't need to be declared.
# See http://www.renpy.org/doc/html/displaying_images.html#defining-images

or something like that (writing English instructions is not my thing).

[nyaatrap]

Thanks for the update.
I have two questions on this version:
1: How to use gamepad? It looks just plugging in my gamepad to usb doesn't recognize it.
2: It's about the issue I replied on twitter (https://twitter.com/nyaatrap/status/633457058428260352).
I downloaded the new build, but having the same issue. While I'm dragging the tutorial game window edge, each textbuttons are sharpened/blurred differently.

[PyTom]

1) The gamepad is supposed to work right out of the box. What kind of gamepad do you have?

2) Can you cause the issue to occur, and then send me the log.txt? My feeling is that this might be happening at particular window sizes, and I'd need to know what sizes those are.

[nyaatrap]

I compare (1024,768) and (1032,774) of the tutorial game. The following screenshot shows blueness of each lines are different.

Here is the log. On Windows 7, Intel HD Graphics 4600.

log.txt

My gamepad is cheap usb one from minor company. Its driver should be default windows one. It was working on 6.99.5.

[PyTom]

Yeah, 6.99.6 totally redid how gamepads work, to use the newer SDL code. Can you grab the next nightly (2015-08-20) when it is built? That should include support for more devices, and more debugging info in - you guessed it - log.txt.

[FragmentedBergyo]

I was suspicious about the text resizing, but it's resized really well, not losing the position or size of outlines. Really well done. Small question though. I'm using an image displayable for the CTC indicator. It's made to resemble the font so it's a white symbol with outlined.
Now that the text is resized, it clashes a bit.
Would it be possible to instead make a CTC indicator an outlined font symbol that's slowly going in and out of transparency?

[PyTom]

Yes, you can just use Text("<symbol>") in place of the image file name.

[nyaatrap]

Yeah, 6.99.6 totally redid how gamepads work, to use the newer SDL code. Can you grab the next nightly (2015-08-20) when it is built? That should include support for more devices, and more debugging info in - you guessed it - log.txt.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work. The new log shows:

Code: Select all

controller: '0b043165000000000000504944564944' None 0

FYI, my gamepad is from Sanwa supply (Japanese company who is making cheap devices. Their devices are not good, but many Japanese are using them because of their cheapness)

Can you use this tool to set up the mappings:
