Ren'Py 6.99.9 Released

#1 Post by PyTom »

I'm happy to announce Ren'Py 6.99.9, the latest in a series of releases that will culminate in Ren'Py 7. This release features a full rewrite of the audio and video playback code, which allows for a number of often-requested features:
  • Partial playback of audio files, including the specification of start, end, and loop points.
  • A new audio channel that allows the playback of multiple sound files at once, for use by interface and game sound.
  • The ability to play multiple movies at once, and to seamlessly loop movies.
  • Movie-backed sprites that use a pair of movies, one for the color channel and one containing alpha (opacity) information.
This release includes a major bugfix involving fullscreen games on Windows when DPI scaling is used, and a number of other fixes and new features.

Downloads of 6.99.9 can be found at:

As usual, thanks to everyone who tested this release when it was a nightly and prerelease, and especially those of you who worked me to report bugs. With so many people using Ren'Py, I couldn't make releases like this without you.

Hi. Thanks for the great update.
These is something I'm making a new game with it.
When I use fast-skip, all sounds on audio channel played when it's done and it's ear hurting.
Could you disable playing audio when fast-skip is enabled?

With the new update I get an error ever time I boot renpy up and every time I load a Visual novel up from it.
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
File "renpy/common/00gltest.rpy", line 378, in <module>
$ __gl_test()
File "renpy/common/00gltest.rpy", line 304, in _m1_00gltest__gl_test
_gl_performance_test()
File "renpy/common/00gltest.rpy", line 343, in _gl_performance_test
result = ui.interact(suppress_overlay=True, suppress_underlay=True)
error: IDirectInputDevice8::SetCooperativeLevel() DirectX error 0xx
cut out the full traceback. Should I perhaps just try a fresh install?

One question, could you provide more info on the fddshow method to actually create the two channels of video for movie sprites? I can't for the life of me figure out what to even google to find info on this.

We seem to be getting that error when people have broken input controllers. You can either unplug your gamepad or gamepad-like device, or hold down shift as Ren'Py starts and disable it.

I successfully updated Ren'Py but since then, Android builds don't work on my device and I get a "SDL Error" message http://i.imgur.com/AsrLWoy.jpg that I didn't get before (it worked perfectly fine for me)
Since it worked perfectly for my relatives I thought it was a problem with my device which is a bit older but someone "reported" the bug on my game's comment section on the Play Store https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... .renpy.fly (French only, working on the English translation)
I'm afraid it might be a problem that isn't related to Ren'Py, if so does anyone know where I can report this bug?

I know it's not a bug report topic but it never happened with the older versions ^^'

OMG forgot to thank you for your hard constant work, it's really awesome, thanks a lot! ;w;

Maybe try re-downloading Ren'Py and RAPT? This was present in some of the earlier 6.99.9 bulds, but should have been fixed in the release.

Can you try uninstalling the app from the device, and installing it again?

It looks gamepads stopped working.
When I plugged in a game pad that was working on 6.99.8, ren'py crashed.

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

this animation starts with last frame (but i need to start with first frame):

Code: Select all

image img = Animation("img1", 1.0, "img2", 1.0, "img3", 1.0)
this animation without loop starts and finished with last frame only:

Code: Select all

image img:
    "img1"
    1.0
    "img2"
    1.0
    "img3"
what's wrong with animation?
