Detect if running on RenpyWeb

#1 Post by _sss »

Hi there,

Is there any way to check if the game is running on RenpyWeb? My problem is actually that I have videos (webm) in my game and videos are not supported by Renpyweb yet. So on the web platform, I'd like to be able to replace them by an image for example, doing something like this:

Code: Select all

	if is_renpy_web:
		scene myvidscreenhot
	else:
		$ renpy.movie_cutscene("myvid.webm")
Thanks!

I've never used RenpyWeb, so I suggest you either :
  • try to do with Python anything that would fail inside a browser (eg. writing a file on disk, doing a system call, ...) and try/except it : if you catch an error, is_renpy_web would be True.
  • ask your question by creating a ticket on renpyweb project ?
I don't have enough practice under my hood to answer more than that, sorry :?
