[SOLVED] How to enable console?

#1 Post by Lord Hisu »

There should be a way to enable the good and old console when running Ren'Py. The virtual console is very bad for debugging.
I want a console that let me use the print function in the middle of my code and see what is happening and when is happening. I want to watch transitions while printing positions, etc, all defined in my own classes.

Is that possible?

This is the virtual console. I want a real one, in which I can interact with the VN while being able to debug in another window.

On windows, check the box in the launcher. On Linux or Mac, run renpy.sh from a console.

Oh god, I don't believe I missed that checkbox. :oops:
Thank you, PyTom!
