Ren'Py 7.1.0 Released

#1 Post by PyTom »

I'm happy to announce Ren'Py 7.1.0. This release fixes issues with Ren'Py 7.0.0, and also includes a few new features:
  • Android support has been rewritten to use the modern gradle-based build system. This allows Android apps created using Ren'Py to be posted in the Google Play store again. This also improves them in other ways, like making the app smaller by splitting out support for different platforms.
  • There is a new "monologue mode", which allows you to use triple-quoted strings to create say statements that contain multiple lines of dialogue. As part of this, the new {clear} text tag allows the equivalent of nvl clear to be embedded in dialogue.
  • The new _quit_slot variable lets you specify a save slot that the game is saved to when the user quits.
  • The updater (built into the launcher) has been updated to prompt for the channel to update to on each use, preventing creators from updated to an unexpected prerelease or nightly build.
As usual, check the changelog for a complete list of changes.


Downloads of 7.1.0 can be found at:

https://www.renpy.org/release/7.1.0

A full list of changes to Ren'Py can be found at:

https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/changelog.html

A list of changes that may require you to update your game can be found at:

https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/incompatible.html

Please also check out the credits and sponsor list.


The final released is 7.1.0.882, which has a few changes related to ruby text compared to the last prerelease. My thanks to everyone who spent time testing Ren'Py 7.1, especially on Android. You found many issues that I wouldn't have been able to find myself.

And while I got you, can I point you to the Ren'Py Jam, which starts in four days.

After installing this, apparently old builds (6.16.2) don't want to work anymore.
Is this meant to happen? I mean, I have older projects that was created in those older Ren'py engines, and I was thinking of finishing them up in the old engines they were originally built in, before moving on to 7.1 for my newer works.

The error I saw when trying to open projects in 6.16.2:

Code: Select all

m sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While loading the script.

Hi I have some problems with this 7.1 version.

First, I built an apk file with my project which I'd built once by Ren'py 7.0 and upload it through play developer console but they say it supports only 18 devices(I guess those are google standard devices) and I can't find the app on play store with my (parents') Galaxy serise device. I could not get what is the problem.

And second, I've used Scite editor but now I can't after the update. I guess scite.edit.py&scite.editor.py files for using custom editor with Renpy doesn't work anymore.

I get this error when building the android package.

I'm using Gradle to build the package.

The build seems to have failed.
Any idea what's causing this?

Can you tell me how you managed to build the apk in the first place? My gradle throws error which I have posted previously.

AERenior > 6.16 is not supported. In general, Ren'Py doesn't support loading .rpyc files from new versions into an old version, which is the problem here.

backansi > Scite isn't supported anymore.

Chances are, you uploaded the x86_64 apk, rather than the arm one. You should either upload the arm version, or upload both of them.

KeyboardSan> Could not generate a proxy class for class com.android.build.gradle.tasks.BuildArtifactReportTask seems to be caused by having an old version of Java 8. Updating to the latest version of Java 8 should clear that problem up for you.

Thanks Pytom. That solved the problem.
I followed these steps:
1. Updated my Java Version to Java 8u181
2. Deleted .gradle folder in my Users/username/
3. Unset my JAVA_HOME variable
4. Started renpy and first selected 'Install SDK and Create keys'
5. Then 'configure'
6. And then 'Build Package'

And then the problem was solved.

The projects are old and was originally built in 6.16.2 though. I did open one or two of them in 7.1, but there's a few projects that I didn't even touch and it's showing me those errors as well.

Is there a global Ren'py folder that affects all builds of Ren'py in the computer or something? Or is it the individual rpycs in the prpjects?

Being so old, have you checked with the incompatible changes list?

@Imperf3kt: The "error while decompressing data" is something caused by rpyc issues. Checked the changelog already, but not sure it would help me because I didn't recall seeing anything about rpycs. I have done absolutely nothing with the codes either.

ETA: Oh, if this was about the functions that don't seem to work right anymore in 7.1, I checked changelog on that too and I don't see it being changed. maybe I'm using them incorrectly, IDK.

I'm unable to build Android packages again after updating to the latest release version.
My Java is up to date and I've tried reinstalling the SDK, but it still fails after a couple of minutes.

None of the "usual" fixes are working for me. Anybody got any ideas except reverting to the prerelease?

AERenoir>>> If you can get me one of your games, I can try to run it and see what Ren'Py says. Ren'Py should be able to load an unmodified older game, unless it has been corrupted somehow.

Imperf3kt>>> I'd need to see an android.txt to have any idea what's happening to you. You didn't even say what step in the process it was failing at. You might want to try deleting rapt/project and seeing if that helps.

@Pytom: It does run on 7.1. The problem is I'm trying to use the old Renpy to run the game again, and this happens:

viewtopic.php?f=8&t=51783

I made a custom caret for my input screen and it's not animating properly in the newer engine builds, so I was thinking of either going back to the old engines for the time being, or at least running the game int he old engine so I can grab a screen recording to show the forums what I needed. Not sure if I'm doing things wrong or if aomething ceased to function in Renpy 6.99 and beyond.

Yes, sorry about that. If my hard drive is parked, an android.txt is not opened because editra takes too long to execute. Maybe I should consider Atom...
I was in a rush to leave for wok, and had forgotten it writes a file as well.

After I created a signed key, the build worked fine.

As far as I can tell, a signed key is now mandatory, even when not releasing on Google Play store or any other store. Perhaps remove the option and just force users to make a key?

#15 Post by Offworlder »

I encountered a strange error. While using some custom screen transitions, I changed the name of one of the files from "12" to "smoke" (thinking that it wasn't working due to being a number; all other transitions up to that point had worked).

When I still had issues getting it to work, I realized after checking the ".rpy" file that the transition was defined as "w12" rather than just "12". No problem, right? I changed the name of the file back to "12", I changed the code in my script to "with w12", and I changed the necessary portion in the associated ".rpy" back to "12.jpg".

But...no. Ren'py still seems to be checking for a non-existent "smoke" file. Just in case my dozens of checks still managed to overlook something, I did a search within Atom of the entire document and there was absolutely nothing named "smoke". I tried using another transition ("w10") and it worked perfectly. Changed back to "w12" and still got the error.

Here's what I'm seeing:

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

EDIT: While standard saving didn't make a difference, a prompt appeared when I attempted to completely close out of Atom. It asked if I wanted to save changes made to "wipes.rpy". I selected "yes", of course, and the transition worked properly once I re-opened Atom and entered "with w12" again.

EDIT 2: I encountered the same issue again, though this time without an error message. I changed which image file two of the transitions should pull from in the associated ".rpy", then changed the script from "with w12" to "with roundin" (roundin being one of the transitions whose image file I changed). I saved as normal, then opened the project. However, it still displayed the "w12" transition. When I went to close out of Atom, I once again got a message about saving the change before closing. And like last time, the proper transition displayed once I did that. I took a screenshot of the message this time, though:
