Changing background image in nvl mode without fading the text out and in

#1 Post by Skyleft »

If I simple have this:

Code: Select all

nvlcharacter "Hello."
scene bg sky
with dissolve
nvlcharacter "Goodbye."
When the scene background changes, the text "Hello." fades out and back in. Is there a way to do it without that occurring?

If you want to change scenes without the NVL window disappearing, try following the Dict Transitions instructions here:
https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/transiti ... ransitions
Do the whole thing, including the bottom part where it mentions editing options.rpy

I don't know if this change will clash with the rest of your VN, I haven't done this sort of change before. Let me know if there's any further issues after doing this adjustment.

This doesn't seem to work. Using Dict Transitions to change the background image returns this error "RevertableDict object is not callable."

I'd just "show" the new background rather than use "scene" which fades each time.
