Adding a "send email" button to the crash screen

#1 Post by Thundy »

Good morning all.

I'm having issues with my users not submitting bug reports. I'm sure that everyone experiences the same issue. Usually I only find out about a bug when a user starts ranting about it on social media, at which point it's far too late. I was wondering if anyone had successfully implemented an "Email the dev" button which automatically sends the traceback.txt and maybe a save file to the dev as I reckon that would probably make people more likely to do it.

I know there are python scripts out there that could do it, but mixing it with renpy is something I havent had much time to play with.

Without modifying renpy itself, I'm afraid you can't.

Fair enough. I'll have to figure out some way to get people to send them in. I'm sure tom has bigger things to worry about
