Proper build.package settings

#1 Post by rames44 »

So I understand the build.package functionality as described here: https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/build.html

My question is: What are the equivalent build.package file list settings for each of the built-in distribution types?

In other words, if I’m going to add a bonus file list to each of the built-in distribution types, what should the “base” set of file lists look like for each?

The defaults are set in renpy/common/00build.rpy

Code: Select all

    package("pc", "zip", "windows linux renpy all", "PC: Windows and Linux")
    package("linux", "tar.bz2", "linux renpy all", "Linux x86/x86_64")
    package("mac", "app-zip app-dmg", "mac renpy all", "Macintosh x86_64")
    package("win", "zip", "windows renpy all", "Windows x86")
    package("market", "zip", "windows linux mac renpy all", "Windows, Mac, Linux for Markets")
    package("steam", "zip", "windows linux mac renpy all", hidden=True)
    package("android", "directory", "android renpy all", hidden=True, update=False, dlc=True)
    package("ios", "directory", "ios renpy all", hidden=True, update=False, dlc=True)
(Because of where this is, build.package is implied.)

Thanks! (I went looking for this in the source, but obviously missed it.)
