New launcher.py for Renpy 6.9.3 not working

[JinzouTamashii]

Hello, I have recently download Renpy 6.9.3 to update old version. Replacing the layout.py in renpy/display directory gives an error message and launcher doesn't run. Undoing the change allows launcher to run. I am surprised the old file is so small and the new one is so large but the rewrite breaks the release.

I need {w=1} to work correctly like older 6.6.0 version. I could live without it but it annoys me. I wish to fix this.

The error is

Code: Select all

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "renpy.py", line 128, in <module>
    renpy.bootstrap.bootstrap(renpy_base)
  File "C:\Program Files\Common Files\data\renpy-6.9.3\renpy\bootstrap.py", line 242, in bootstrap

Also, is there a way to center text in the middle of the text window?

[JinzouTamashii]

Will no one help me center the text in the dialogue box or fix the new layout.py ?

For the layout.py, click on the link and download the file, rather than trying to download it directly.

Do you want text centered on the screen, or in the existing text window?

[JinzouTamashii]

The existing center text window. I rather quickly found "centered" and "show text" commands (which has to be followed by hide text, but that was no problem for that section.)

I want to apply the tag to all the narrator text in the game in the init python section, to center it in the text box.

I solved the launcher.py program but not downloading the whole HTML file but by going to the link and clicking Download at the top.

The button is obvious but not that obvious ...
