Ren'Py 6.99.11 Pre-Released

[nyaatrap]

While launcher uses gui.selected_color, actual game uses gui.accent_color on selected buttons.

I'm unsure whether this is a bug or was intended but I'll mention it anyway.

In the current version of Ren'Py, this code put text in the dead center of the screen:

Code: Select all

define none = Character(None, what_xalign = 0.5, window_yalign = 0.5, window_xfill = False, window_yfill = False, window_background=None)

However, in the Ren'Py Pre-Released build, the text will only be in the dead center with this code:

Code: Select all

define none = Character(None, what_xalign = 0.5, window_yalign = 0.5, window_xfill = True, window_yfill = False, window_background=None)

Previously window_xfill was set to False. Now window_xfill has to be set to True.

I thought it was worth mentioning.

Okay, got a lot done this weekend, and I'm ready to reply to everything here:

vpgrid doesn't take transpose, as it doesn't make sense. When you give it cols but not rows, it fills left to right first. When you give it rows but not cols, it fills top to bottom first.

I think you already know this, but I've added rollback_identifier to HistoryEntry, and a RollbackToIdentifier() action.

nyaatrap @ viewtopic.php?p=423132#p423132

I agree, and took your second suggestion. gui.rpy has been split into gui.rpy and screens.rpy.

ketskari @ viewtopic.php?p=423170#p423170

config.font_replacement_map hasn't changed. It should work the same way it always did. You may need to change the font you're using.

The lack of support for [prefix_] in lint is something I need to fix. The first to problems aren't - we use the scene and show statement to give examples of placeholders, and the creator is expected to either remove those statements or add the images before releasing (or running lint).

The translations page now has a new tool that can extract translations from an existing project. You can use this to extract the translations from the Spanish template, and move them into the Spanish translation of the launcher.

The bug was fixed.

ketskari @ viewtopic.php?f=8&t=39594#p423273

The reason for preferring a fixed height is that it lets us use vpgrid, which is way more efficient than a normal viewport, since vpgrid only displays the cells that are on screen. When we might have 250 history entries, this should help performance significantly. That being said, I think it makes sense to make this configurable, so gui.history_height can now be None.

Tayruu @ viewtopic.php?f=8&t=39594#p423322

If the readback script is legacy, you might have to use config.enforce_window_max_size to fix it. I think the current behavior change makes sense.

Can you send me one of the corrupt files so I can poke around in it?


i_jemin @ viewtopic.php?p=423358#p423358

I was unable to repeat this. This new version does use window auto by default, which will fade out the window before scene statements. But that's intended behavior, and can be configured in the new options.rpy.

Fixed.

Here we go, this is gui\button\idle_background: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/131 ... ground.png

It's possibly the only broken image. I presume the image itself is supposed to be empty.

[PyTom]

Yeah, that's just an empty file. I'm not sure why that happened, but you should be able to generate it by going to the Change GUI screen and choosing the second choice.

For setting config and preferences variables, is using define and default statements the new preferred way of doing so rather than setting them in init python blocks? Is this encouraged for new releases in 6.99.10 until 6.99.11 is released?

[trooper6]

As far as I know, default has been the preferred way of doing things since 6.99.4 and the new define since 6.99.7

Change Log for 6.99.7: https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/changelo ... provements

[PyTom]

Define and default grew the ability to set config and preference variables in 6.99.11. So you shouldn't use them until you're on 6.99.11 - they probably won't work right.

[Donmai]

I've successfuly tested 6.99.11 on my Windows 7 machine. However, on my wife's Windows 8 laptop I had the "Unsupported image format" error. Trying to regenerate the images, or recreate, the GUI didn't solve the problem. But then, I noticed the error only happens when I try to create a project using the 1066x600 pixels resolution, and the problematic file is always 'idle_background.png'.

[nyaatrap]

button/idle_background.png in 1066x600 game is 0 byte file for me.

BTW, I think it's better to move the following code from screen.rpy to another (options.rpy or gui.rpy). Because this isn't a screen element.

Code: Select all

## Window Icon #################################################################

## This is the icon displayed on the taskbar or dock.
define config.window_icon = "gui/window_icon.png"

[PyTom]

Thanks everyone! I'm guessing something is going wrong with the small resolution, and I'll try to fix it.

[Aoide]

New projects can't be created if their paths contain folder names that contain non-ascii characters (my Ren'py project folder is in a path that contains folders with Japanese names). As far as I can tell, this only applies to creating projects; my existing projects seem to be running fine.

Here's the error message I get:

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

Aoide, is your system set to a Japanese encoding by default? If not, this is a known bug. If so, I have a new issue to fix.

[PyTom]

6.99.11.1689)

I've updated the prerelease. There have been a lot of changes to the GUI template. The big change is that it's been split in half, with the variables in gui.rpy and the styles and screens in screens.rpy. Hopefully, this makes things less intimidating. (You'll have to generate a new GUI to see these changes.)

* Reloading at the main menu leaves us at the main menu.
* Generating the 1066x600 gui works again.
* Lint works with [prefix_].
* HistoryEntries support a new rollback_identifier field, and the RollbackToIdentifier can rollback to them. Rollback also works from within the game menu.
* gui.history_height can be None to support variable-height history entries.
* The indonesian translation has been updated.

And some other changes. Thanks to everyone who's tested so far - Ren'Py is way better thanks to the feedback. It's hard for me to dispassionately evaluate my own work, so having other people test is very valuable.

Aoide, is your system set to a Japanese encoding by default? If not, this is a known bug. If so, I have a new issue to fix.

My Win 7 was installed as and runs in Japanese, so I assume it's set to Japanese encoding as default. Is there anything specific you want me to check?

Also, unrelated, but is there any chance you can add a way to turn Auto-Forward Time off in the default Preferences screen? The slider just adjust how fast/slow it is without giving you the ability to opt out of the feature, which is kind of inconvenient.
