How to remove projects

#1 Post by jasmoe4 »

So I am trying to clean up my Ren'Py launcher. I wanted to remove both the "Tutorial" and "The Question" projects. That way only mine are listed.

I clicked on one, then clicked on "game" to get to the directory, and then I deleted the project folders.

I refreshed the list in the launcher and all of the options to the right disappeared (game, images, scripts, gui, etc.) but the project's name remained. The options are there got my own project but are now missing for the default ones.

I don't know how to remove the listed names so that there isn't anything relating to either "Tutorial" or "The Question".

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

That's hardcoded in the launcher. You'd have to edit front_page.rpy in the launcher directory of renpy.

Well, you can just delete the folders to remove them as well...

I did that. That's what left me with just the names of the projects but removed all the options to the right. I was told that these are hardcoded into the program and and because of that they might behave differently from other projects.

Oh I see. Sorry, I did not properly read your post.
philat's advice sounds like it should work.

I found the lines and commented them out.

Worked!

Thanks.

Just popping back in here as I was fiddling with my launcher and found some lines that may be of interest:

Lines 322 and 323 of options.rpy for the launcher

Code: Select all

    source_and_binary("the_question")
    source_and_binary("tutorial")
I don't know what deleting these lines will do, just thought I'd mention they exist.
