Pause after showing animations

[inajke]

Hey guys! Sorry for my english firstable.

I have an animation I want to show 120 frames total it's size is 400x659 (so not really big), but ren'py is kinda lagging for 2 seconds when loading the image, is there a way to soften the loading and make it so the player can still read the text when animation is showing? I've tried reducing the size of every image, but it's already about 180kb and It's png so I can't reduce it further .

My code is:
for the image
image animationhim:
"himan/himanka000.png"
0.02
...
"himan/himanka119.png"
repeat
for the animation
sam "text"
show animationlek at center with dissolve
extend "\ntext"
...
hide animationlek with dissolve

You can at least copy this kind of style..

Code: Select all

image eileen animated: 
"eileen_happy.png" 
pause 1.0 
"eileen_vhappy.png" 
pause 1.0 
repeat

As it seen here in the documentation

Because of my animation is 120 frames it should be really soft and without pausing for 1 second in between

Maybe you should consider making your images into a video and play that?

that's really nice idea, I'll try that, and see how it goes. Thank you very much.

The problem is not solved yet. My animations are in PNG and without any background.

I reckon the problem is that you're using "with dissolve", which stops everything the game is doing to show the image. You might be better off getting rid of it.

I have seen threads with a similar problem. This one could help.

@Palas, hey, thank you very much. It definitely help a lot, there is still a little freeze, but seems ok!

Thank you very much again, sorry for my english.
