[SOLVED] Code for simply changing the language in Python?

[Obscura]

For the life of me, I can't find the answer to what's apparently a very simple question.

When the game runs, I'd like it to check to see if one of two files exists. If they DON'T exist, I'd like the game to change the language to None (English.)

I realize the engine defaults to None anyway, but this is just in case a player has yanked out the translation folder and hasn't put it back in. If I don't do this, it seems some of the fonts go wonky.

For the purposes of simplification:

Code: Select all

init -2 python:

    if not renpy.loadable("spanish.ttf") or not renpy.loadable("spanish.otf"):
       renpy.change_language(None)
     

I get:

While running game code:
File "game/translation.rpy", line 1, in script
init -2 python:
File "game/translation.rpy", line 5, in <module>
renpy.change_language(None)
TypeError: argument of type 'NoneType' is not iterable

What should the syntax be?

Thanks!

Maybe this function is not applicable at the init stage..so try:

Code: Select all

label splashscreen:
    if not renpy.loadable("spanish.ttf") or not renpy.loadable("spanish.otf"):
       $ renpy.change_language(None)
    return

Thanks IrinaLazareva, that did the trick!!! (I tried Language(None) as well under python, it did nothing.)
