(SOLVED) Persistent Data interferes with Text Scrolling?

#1 Post by Dreambrush »

This feels really stupid and basic to ask. I've been using Ren'py off and on, and a persistent problem I've run into is when I edit the cps from 0 to a specified speed in the Options tab with Editra, some projects seem to ignore the value I put and simply treat it as "0," which makes the text instantaneously appear at once when the mouse is clicked, as opposed to scrolling at the specified speed. Why is this?

I tried deleting the temporary files, including the Persistent file, in the Saves folder, but this had no effect. The current project I am on needs scrolling text, but I cannot for the life of me figure out what is preventing me from using this basic function. The code remains unchanged other than the cps, and yes, I made sure it's not being treated as a comment. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Sorry to trouble you all with something so basic, but I have had this problem countless times through every version of Ren'py that I have used.

EDIT: Something interesting is when I run this particular project on my Surface Pro 3, the scrolling works, but it doesn't work on my desktop. Is there some sort of temporary save file that is interfering? I'm at a standstill.

Yes, CPS is a persistent value. The real values are stored (in Windows machines) in users/your_user_name/AppData/roaming/Renpy/save_directory_name_that_is_defined_in_options.rpy.
But you don't need to go there to delete the variables stored. Just use the "Delete Persistent" button in the Ren'Py Launcher screen, and run your game again.

No, sorry! You must be mistaking me for someone else.

Thank you. I didn't even see that option in the launcher. I'm guessing that's the master option that simply eliminates the problem data from the source.

Problem fixed. Thank you again!
