This is the right place for Ren'Py help. Please ask one question per thread, use a descriptive subject like 'NotFound error in option.rpy' , and include all the relevant information - especially any relevant code and traceback messages. Use the code tag to format scripts.
Oh, sorry, no, that was me typing it in now (I didn't copy, because there is a bit of redundant comments and stuff) Fixed now. The original problem still exists, of course.
I just tested your code and it seems to work fine, shows the notify screen with textmessage and pauses for 5 seconds (or until I click). So the problem doesn't seem to be in this code. Have you modified your notify screen?Or perhaps are you showing another image or screen above the area where the notify box is supposed to appear? (it's around the upper left corner of the game window).
Seems there was an issue with a modification done tot he notify-screen in screens.rpy. Weirdly enough, that modification worked perfectly well when using renpy.notify() directly from screens.rpy, but not when doing it from within a init python: statement in another rpy-file. Oh well. Quirks and stuff. It works now, at least
