I think I stumbled onto a CTC bug

[Gau_Veldt]

Code: Select all

init:
    $ ctcAnim=Animation("__nextico_10.png",0.125,
                        "__nextico_30.png",0.125,
                        "__nextico_60.png",0.125,
                        "__nextico_100.png",0.125
                        ,"__nextico_60.png",0.125,
                        "__nextico_30.png",0.125,
                        xpos=700, ypos=500, xanchor=0, yanchor=0)
    
    # Declare characters used by this game.
    $ z = Character('Zeit', color="#a0c0ff",ctc=ctcAnim,ctc_pause=ctcAnim,ctc_position='fixed')
#...
game:
    z "foo"

The ctc shows itself intermittently run-to-run and is affected by user interaction.
It displays only if I don't short circuit any slow typing text with a mouse click. Soon as I do it no longer shows unless the game is restarted.

Probably. What's your version of Ren'Py?

Looks like it is a bug. Sorry.
Already reported, so now just to wait.

Here's another CTC problem for NVL mode:

Code: Select all

label start:
    
    nvl clear
    scene bg dummy
    with fade
    
    "First line"
    
    "Second line - Working end of page CTC"
    
    nvl clear
    
    "First line"
    
    "Second line - Broken end of page CTC"
    
    call ctc_2
    
    "New page and done"
    
    return


label ctc_2:
    nvl clear
    return

It seems that the end of page detection logic for nvl_page_ctc doesn't follow the actual code execution but uses a simpler mechanism. So, if you want to put page transitions into a common block, that breaks part of the CTC functionality.
