Inspired by OneShot, Niko asks if your name is (PC USERNAME). I'm trying to figure out if I can do the same sort of thing in my game?

I don't know how to implement it myself, but it definitely is possible. Doki Doki literature Club is a very recent example of a Ren'Py game using that.

This seems to work on Windows at least:

Code: Select all

label start:

    python:
        import os

        user = os.environ.get('username')

    "Hello there, [user]."

Tested on Linux (Ubuntu 16.04), and it shows "None" as the user.

On Linux enviroment variable is named "user".

YOu can detect Windows by checking for os.name() == 'nt'. Linux and MacOS would be os.name() == 'posix'

Could you elaborate on this? I only get errors.

I use the following, which works great on Windows, but on Linux (Debian), it still returns "None" as username.

Code: Select all

    ## using init doesn't appear to be a requirement, but it makes no difference if I leave it out.
    init python:
        import os
     
        for name in ('LOGNAME', 'USER', 'LNAME', 'USERNAME'):
            player = os.environ.get(name)

    "Hello there, [player]."

I found this if its related?

You have no if/else logic to break the loop once found... suggest:

Code: Select all

default player = 'Player'

init python:
    import os
    player = os.environ.get( 'USERNAME', 
                 os.environ.get( 'USER', 
                 os.environ.get( 'LNAME', 
                 os.environ.get( 'LOGNAME', 'Player' ))))

label start:
    "Hello there, [player]."

Python .get on dictionary/object = reference.get( attribute, [optional default if key not found] )

Yes. I messed up and added brackets. os.name is a string, not function.

Thanks, but that didn't do as expected.

I didn't particularly want to hijack the thread, but for anyone else who may stumble across this in the future (because stackexchange was proving useless) here's what I found works:

Code: Select all

init python:
    if os.name == 'nt':
        import os
        
        for name in ('LOGNAME', 'USER', 'LNAME', 'USERNAME'):
            player = os.environ.get(name)
    elif os.name == 'posix':
        import os
        
        for user in ('LOGNAME', 'USER', 'LNAME', 'USERNAME'):
            player = os.environ.get('USER')

This had me scratching my head for days because I had used lower case. Also, don't add quotes for Windows, it returns the name as None when you do that.
Also do not default the name "player" as that happens after the init takes place, so it overwrites whatever it should show with what you "default"ed it to.

I use this in a screen, but I see no reason it won't work in dialogue as well.

to make it detect the name in windows in this way
sorry for my English

Code: Select all

default player = os.environ.get('username')
label start:

python:
    if os.name == 'nt':
        import os

        for name in ('LOGNAME', 'USER', 'LNAME', 'USERNAME'):
            player = os.environ.get(name)
    elif os.name == 'posix':
        import os

        for user in ('LOGNAME', 'USER', 'LNAME', 'USERNAME'):
            player = os.environ.get('USER')
            
 
 a "hello [player]"
