"Add Script File" Not Working?

#1 Post by That Oyajicon »

I'm using Renpy 7.1.3 on Windows 7.

I click "Navigate Script">"Add script file", which brings me to the screen where I entire a filename.

I type in something innocuous, like "vampires", "blue", "pancakes", etc. I click "Continue", which adds ".rpy" to the end of the filename.

I click "Continue" again, and absolutely nothing happens.

Can someone please explain what I'm doing wrong right now?

I tested this and I'm getting the same issue.

Seems to be a bug.

Ah, okay. I wasn't sure if it was some kind of bug/error, or if there was something obvious that I was missing.

I generally just make the file in my text editor (Atom). Try that as a way to get around the bug.

That seems like the best option right now, yeah.

Also, I wanted to ask something kind of silly that I'm not sure deserves its own thread.

I know that you need to set defaults for flags before the start label in a project, does that mean you need to list all your flags in the same .rpy file as the start label?

Theoretically, could I have a seperate .rpy file for organizing all my different flags, or will the game be unable to detect the default values if they're not in the "main" .rpy?

You can place defaults in any file.

Personally, I use a file I call inits.rpy where I place all my defaults and initialisation stuff.
