Ren'Py 7.4.6 Released

#1 Post by PyTom »

I'm happy to announce Ren'Py 7.4.6, the sixth patch release for the 7.4 series. This release contains a number of fixes for 7.4.5, both to improve platform compatibility and to extend some to the features added for the new 3D Stage.

This release include a new camera statement, which is used to introduce transforms that will persist until changed. This allows the show layer statement to revert to the behavior it had in 7.4.4, improving compatibility with projects in production. At the same time, it allows more concise control of the camera in 3D productions.

This release introduces the Model displayable. While right now focused on allowing multiple textures to be combined (it's now possible to implement dissolve-like transforms without a creator-defined displayable), it will in the future serve as a way to access 2D and 3D model functionality.

This release fixes a mistake in the 7.4.5 that prevented builds from working on iOS, and gets the model-based renderer working on that platform.

This release updates Atom and the language-renpy plugin.

In addition, there are a number of bug fixes and other improvements.

Ren'Py 7.4 is the the product of over a year of development, and one of the biggest releases of Ren'Py to date. This series of releases focuses on updating Ren'Py's internals so that Ren'Py is ready for its next 15 years.

I just updated renpy to 7.4.6.1693 today and I can't get any projects to open with atom. It was working just fine with the previous release I was using.

I've switched to the prerelease 7.4.7.1838 and the issue has disappeared.

you don't really need to use renpy launcher to use atom

I would use atom standalone cause atom remembers project that you are on

I have never used renpy launcher to any text editor I don't know how atom will react with renpy

I'm using 7.4.6.1693 I have no problems with atom

that my thought
