Loading a .rpy file from a different folder

#1 Post by Bruni Multimedia »

I understand ren'py loads every .rpy file inside the game folder and its subfolders and that's ok.

But what if I have a folder outside the "game" one, how can I tell ren'py to look for .rpy files in it and its subfolders, if there's any way?

That's because Steam Workshop has the bad habit to download modded .rpy files where it likes and I need to load them someway in the ren'py game folder.

Yeah, I know Visual Novels and mods are unusual, but that's the final step in actually developing them into the game and I'm sure people will like the chance to build their own content! :D
