How do I "search" for things in Renpy?

#1 Post by Gustavs14 »

So... I am looking for changing my main menu background, and I found the place where that is changeable:

BUT, whenver I want to search for, example, the same thing in the renpy search function, I just get this:

Exact same screen for everything I try to find, even though I know it's there. I'm probably using it wrong, so could someone educate me on this matter?

Thanks!

Oh no that's not Ren'py, that's your text editor you're interfacing with there. Ren'py is not a text editor, so the issue you have is something with the Find function in jEdit. I don't use/know jEdit so I can't quite help you...

but I'm guessing you probably have a checkbox that's messing things up (with regards to your second images). Try unchecking some of those boxes and see what helps. Good luck! :)

I guess you mean searching for something in all scripts, right? You just have to click the "all buffers" button in the search box. I believe this is valid for any text editor, not only for jEdit or Editra.

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