image over new gui

[Theodosius]

Hi! I started using the new version of Renpy. How to display an image over the new gui? Actually, I wanted to use animated side images, but when i use something like this:

Code: Select all

image side jirnn = Animation("im/droch3.png", 0.3, "im/droch4.png", 0.3)

the image just not displayed. Ok, after that I tried to make it differently:

Code: Select all

image jirnn = Animation("im/droch3.png", 0.3, "im/droch4.png", 0.3)
.....
show jirnn onlayer overlay

aaaand... it's not working T_T

I don't even know if Ren'Py has Animation().
Probably try:

Code: Select all

image side jirnn:
    "im/droch3.png"
    0.3
    "im/droch4.png"
    0.3

I don't even know if Ren'Py has Animation().

For the record, it does, but it's used in the context of python statements:

Code: Select all

    $some_im = Animation("im1.png", 1.0, "im2.png", 1.0)

screen ttest:
    add some_im #can't do this with image declare, if I'm not mistaken

You can also add transforms to it, something like:

Code: Select all

$img = Animation( "im.png", 0.5, dissolve, "im1.png", 1.0, dissolve, "im2.png" 0.5, dissolve)

i don't know why, but it work with simpe images, but not with side images

I don't even know if Ren'Py has Animation().
Probably try:

Code: Select all

image side jirnn:
    "im/droch3.png"
    0.3
    "im/droch4.png"
    0.3

Initially this crash my game, but then began to work... thx!

That's good to know. I can't find information on Animation() in Ren'Py documentation. Has it been forgotten?

Actually you can do that:

Code: Select all

image some im:
    "im1.png"
    1.0
    "im2.png"
    1.0

screen ttest:
    add 'some im'

It is deprecated

Huh. Good to know.

Didn't actually know that. I think I accidentally stumbled into Animation() and played around with it until it became more useful than ATL. Because I find that "image some im" can't be switched in the middle of an interaction, then back again, where as Animation() can be changed with a simple casting statement.
