[solved]problem with sideimage

[k i r a]

hi,

I was pretty interested in sideimage function, and tried using that in ren'py 6.12.2.

the first code works perfectly, but when I write "side" to indicate it's sideimage, it stops working, returning "undefined image".

code that works, but not what I want:

Code: Select all

image lynette naki1 s1 = "img/lynette/naki1s1.png"

label chap01:

    show lynette naki1 s1

the code that should show what I want, but doesn't:

Code: Select all

image side lynette naki1 s1 = "img/lynette/naki1s1.png"

label chap01:

    show lynette naki1 s1

what's happening?

You have to put

Code: Select all

image="lynette"

in your character definition.
For example:

Code: Select all

define l = Character("Lynette", image="lynette")

and if you're only displaying side image without the full image, you don't need to use the "show" command.

In your case, you should do something like this:

Code: Select all

l naki1 s1 "Dialog here."

thank you for reply!
I've forgotten to write, but I'd tried that too.........

the full code is

Code: Select all

image side lynette naki1 s1 = "img/lynette/naki1s1.png"

define l = Character('リネット', color = "#ffffff", image="lynette")

label chap01:

    show lynette naki1 s1

or

Code: Select all

image side lynette naki1 s1 = "img/lynette/naki1s1.png"

define l = Character('リネット', color = "#ffffff", image="lynette")

label chap01:

    l naki1 s1 "...."

if I erase the "side", it's shown, but as a normal image.
I really really don't know what's happening!
please help me!

I haven't used this new side image system yet, but looking at the documentation, I see that the side image is defined *after* the character. Try moving "image side lynette naki1 s1" after "define l"? Also, the documentation says this:

If no image can be found, or more than one image has the same number of attributes, an Null is shown instead.

A Null is nothing. I'm not sure what "same number of attributes" means, though ...

The ordering doesn't matter.

Your second code is correct, and it works for me, what version of Ren'Py are you using? Have you tried downloading the latest version?

thank you for reply!
I tried that right now, and no success...again.it continues with message "undefined images lynette naki1 s1".

Can you try pasting this code, replacing yours, and see if it works?

Code: Select all

define l = Character('Lynette', color = "#ffffff", image="lynette")

image side lynette naki1 s1 = "img/lynette/naki1s1.png"

# The game starts here.
label start:
    
    l naki1 s1 "....."
    

One more question, did you rewrite the "say" screen? Or are you using the default one?

[k i r a]

it worked! thank you!

well, it doesn't work with show, but it's ok. The important is that it's shown now.

Thank you again for you all!!

No prob, glad to know it works.
Yes, you're not supposed to use show, if you want to show a normal image along with the side image (show both), you'll have to define another image:

Code: Select all

define l = Character('Lynette', color = "#ffffff", image="lynette")

image lynette naki1 s1 = "normal.png" #this one's for the normal version

image side lynette naki1 s1 = "side.png"

# The game starts here.
label start:

    show lynette naki1 s1

    l "....." # Notice I don't have to type "naki1 s1" here, this is because it is already set in the previous "show" command
