Text not moving

#1 Post by Manbarondenna »

Alright, so I got my hands onto the RenPy finally, and I really like what it is all about. I've played a lot of visual novels made on RenPy and in all of them whenever any character or narrator tell something, the text in the box is slowly moving until the whole sentence/message is displayed, right? However, in RenPy 7.0 that I downloaded a week ago, by following the tutorial and even just playing through the tutorial itself, the whole text is just instantly shown with each box. What is the correct way to make the text move just like in every other visual novel you can find?

You want to adjust the text speed. Go to options.rpy and look for these lines:

Code: Select all

## Preference defaults #########################################################

## Controls the default text speed. The default, 0, is infinite, while any other
## number is the number of characters per second to type out.

default preferences.text_cps = 0
Give preferences.text_cps a value other than zero, run your game again and see what happens.
You can also adjust the text speed in the preferences screen.
