defined values not showing in text-quotes

[ISAWHIM]

I swear that this worked on my last game...

In "options.rpy"

Code: Select all

## The version of the game.
define config.version = "0.01"

## Text that is placed on the game's about screen. To insert a blank line
## between paragraphs, write \n\n.
define gui.about = _("- Development Build (Version [config.version]) -\n\nIntroductions and slight GUI setup.")

The purpose was to display the version here, because I do not like it displayed on the game-screen.

However, now, it displays the following text... "Development Build (Version [config.version])"...
Instead of the text... "Development Build (Version 0.01)"

Has the format changed to insert values [defined-vals], into "Quoted text", using [ and ], changed?

try [config.version!t]

Other than that, it might be a case of using python "... {0} ...".format( config.version ) or even making the interpolated [] strings differently in screens.py

Doesn't seem like it would take a variable in with the text with standard define. Here is work around:

Code: Select all

define gui.about = _("- Development Build (Version ") + config.version + _(") -\n\nIntroductions and slight GUI setup.")

I think, if this is not just a quirk here...

It may be because the assignment may not be "done" until the page is finished. So it isn't an actual "value", or it now requires a renpy.something insert.

_("That split") + and.insert + ("works fine... thanks!")

The [ and ] are being interpreted as characters, which is some kind of bug/quirk... Thus, anything between them, in the quotes, is showing as text also.
