Ren'Py 6.99 Released

[Donmai]

Same happened here. Manual installation didn't solve the problem.

[PyTom]

6.99.6.713 fixes that problem, which was due to an incorrect windows build. (Windows 10 has been giving me SMB problems.)

It also adds the acheivement.sync function and achievement.Sync action, which sync local achievements up to Steam.

[nyaatrap]

It's working great with most fonts, except one. Open Dorepara then go preferences, choose Hanazome font and 1280x720 screen, restart the game then make physical size 1920x1080 (fullscreen).
Only with this font and this screen ratio has font clipping issue at the end of textbutton.Other font works fine.

Edit: Same issue happens with other fonts when I downscale 1920x1080 screen into around 1700x940.

[FragmentedBergyo]

Any advice on this?
Screenshot 24 is how it looks in fullscreen, and the outline looks much worse.

[PyTom]

What is the problem with the outline there? Is it that the shadow is shifted one up and left?

[FragmentedBergyo]

What is the problem with the outline there? Is it that the shadow is shifted one up and left?

That and some pixels being empty between the text and outline.
I suppose it's just an aftereffect of outlines being used for a fading out outline. They really weren't originally supposed to be used for that, and now it looks odd.

[jack_norton]

I have a strange issue. Does the eval() command changed ?
My game Roommates always worked fine until 6.99.5.602 (pre-retina).
Now,in the recent version (but already in the first update with retina support) it gives me this error:

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

the issue is the eval(Preq). The list looked like (Preq is the last value):

Code: Select all

    places=[#name, when, days, desc, money, energy, stat, var,req]
        ## GENERIC ##
        ["Classroom","Morning","MonTueWedThuFri","Attend class",0,-5,"Grades",3,True],
        ["Roll in bed","Morning","MonTueWedThuFriSatSun","Roll in bed",0,5,"",0,True],
        ["Nap","Afternoon","MonTueWedThuFriSatSun","Take a nap",0,5,"",0,True],
        ["Sleep early","Evening","MonTueWedThuFriSatSun","Sleep early",0,5,"",0,True],
        ["Forced Rest","","","Take a break",0,3,"",0,True],

        ## BASIC JOBS/PLACES ##
        ["Cafeteria","Afternoon","TueThuSat","Cafeteria Clerk",10,-10,"Spontaneous",3,"job_cafe==False"],
        ["Art Store","Afternoon","MonWedFri","Art store clerk",10,-10,"Creative",3,"job_record==False"],
        ["Park","Afternoon","TueThuSat","Clean the park",10,-10,"Reflective",3,"job_philosophy==False"],
        ["Bookstore","Afternoon","MonWedFri","Bookstore Clerk",10,-10,"Organized",3,"job_library==False"],
        ["Football","Afternoon","TueThuSat","Football waterboy",10,-10,"Active",3,"job_farm==False"],
        ["Office","Afternoon","MonWedFri","Data entry",10,-10,"Rational",3,"job_physics==False"],

etc, so as you can see in some cases I just used True (so the eval would always work) and in other a variable check. Now this crashes. If I put True as "True", seems to work.

OK actually after checking more carefully it seems that in other games I used strings, so probably it was just Roommates badly coded the behavior is different, but probably now it's the right way to do it.

[jack_norton]

I also agree on the outline looking worse now. Another example, first normal resolution and then scaled up fullscreen. It's hard to read, if I fix for too long my eyes hurt . My guess is that the outline width is increased too? or something like that.

[FragmentedBergyo]

Just a thought.
The Text and Outline are both on different layers, aren't they? This may introduce more unwanted issues, but wouldn't it be possible to just make the outline be upscaled like the rest of the game, instead of being rendered on a bigger resolution like the text?

[PyTom]

I've updated the prerelease to 6.99.6.718. We're getting a number of prereleases, but I think a lot of this has to do it the fact that the new text layout in 6.99.6 has a number of aesthetic issues to it, and it's probably better to get more eyes on that so we can settle on something good.

The change in this is to try to keep outlines proportional to each other. In previous prereleases, outlines and outline offsets were scaled up using a the same scaling factor as the rest of the text - but since at the end they have to be rounded up to integers, this lead to a problem. Say we had two outlines, a 2px and a 1px outline, and we scaled up to 1.5x normal size. we'd have:

int(2 * 1.5) = int(3) = 3
int(1 * 1.5) = int(1.5) = 1

which changes the proportion between outlines. The new code changes this. We round the scaling factor to the nearest integer, and then multiply by that. So between 0.5 and 1.5x, our example would have 2px and 1px outlines. Between 1.5x and 2.5x, it would have 4px and 2px outlines. And so on. Offsets work the same way, which might be just as important. When testing, realize there will be a big jump when the windows gets 1.5x normal size.

I think this fixes FragmentedBergyo's problem with multiple outlines. I'm not sure what Jack's problem is - I think it makes sense to scale up outlines proportionally as text gets bigger. If it makes text harder to read, isn't that a problem with the choice of the outline color, rather than with Ren'Py?

Yes I need to check it, perhaps before was working since even scaling up, 1px was still 1px, while now it's proportional

Just updated quickly and wanted to try it out. Instead, renpy doesn't start and I get the following error:

It's a minor gripe. Currently, Right click menu is assigned to start/menu button on joypad. But I want to assign it to Button 2(B) or 3 which is placed at the next to the dismiss button by default. It took me time to find where is the menu button.

[nyaatrap]

I think jack uses outline to enhance anti-alias, so the new way of rendering became worse. I use outlines in different purpose. Outline can be used in several ways. (honestly, I prefer the previous build more than the current , but it's small thing. I'm OK with which)

[jack_norton]

The change I proposed to Tom was to have a parameter for the outline to turn the scale on/off (only for the outline). So if you put 1, means it's always 1 pixel, and so on. Of course not sure how simple is to do the change
