Question about the About Screen [SOLVED]

#1 Post by TellerFarsight »

So the About screen has the license text in it but I'm trying to rearrange some menus and I want to take the text from the about screen and break it up into a few more lines. Right now, it's only in 2 lines and ends up going off the end of the screen. The code for it is [renpy.license!t] but I don't know how to access it, most importantly the link in it.

Anything that has a !t in it should be traceable in the translate file. Try game/tl/None/common.rypm which is your English translate file. Search for the text itself (the variable name isn't in the file), e.g. "licenses"

I recall seeing this referenced somewhere in Ren'Py's core files.

In any case, you can just redefine it.

Code: Select all

define renpy.license = "your text here."
Or if that doesn't work right, add it in an init block as high as you can:

Code: Select all

init -1:
    define renpy.license = "your text"
Or better yet, remove it or replace it.
