Ren'Py 7.1.2 Prereleased

[PyTom]

This is currently a prerelease, so you'll have to decide if you want to release a game with code that is not yet fully tested.


I'm happy to announce Ren'Py 7.1.2. This is the second bug release for Ren'Py 7.1, which improves Ren'Py while fixing issues.

There have also been a few feature additions:

• Transforms that are used once in a screen can now be defined inline.
• Choice menus can now display as insensitive buttons items selected by the if clause.
• It is now possible to set variables inside a used screen.
• Ren'Py can now automatically detect the language of the player's system and select the correct translation.
• The German translation has been updated.

Some of the more important bugfixes include:

• A bug that caused Arabic text to display as squares on Windows has been fixed.
• Lint now handles several cases correctly, including layered images.
• As Ren'Py generally could not created proper android packages with a 32-bit Java 8, it now requires a 64-bit Java Development Kit.

What does this means: "Transforms that are used once in a screen can now be defined inline.".
An example maybe? Also it's possible to set variables inside a screen means that what I was doing now works? like using $foo=True inside a screen would set that variable? thanks

This is only relevant to used screens, as in those that are included in another screen by the use keyword.

Ahh OK, "used" I thought just meant that are displayed, not called by use statement thanks!

It is now possible to set variables inside a used screen

This is amazing!!!!
You have no idea how much I've wished for this features to exist, one of the very few things I found tedious while writing screens was the need to create named external one-time-only transforms for every single displayable. This is going to make our lives so much easier.

Being able to set variables inside used screens also sounds like it will be very useful!

Thank you to all the people that contribute to Ren'Py development, I can't thank you enough for your awesome work and dedication!!

"Shift-keybindings (like shift+I and shift+R) now work in the android emulation mode."

This is really helpful.

Thank you.

This is really helpful.

Thank you.

Oh, I didn't see that.

Awesome feature! Now working on Android builds shouldn't be such a headache while trying to see what style is being applied and why.

Thanks to everyone involved!

I've made another prerelease, Ren'Py 7.1.2.1090.

This fixes a bug that would likely cause a built game to error out (because script_version was being checked incorrectly.) It also fixes a bug that was triggered when showing certain layered images.

Lastly, I merged a ton of translations. This release has updates for French, German, Korean, Russian, and Simplifed Chinese.

Check it out so I can release this weekend. And thanks to everyone who's tested - having those two problems reported before release really benefits everyone.

You can get the prerelease by updating to in in the launcher. Downloads of 7.1.2 can be found at:

I also often encountered such a problem and was glad to solve it.
Write what things would be interesting to you in Ren'Py, maybe we just can’t imagine this.
