Enerccio has questions

[Enerccio]

I am working with basic dse tutrial and please how to make a something like when day=7 special event takes place and event table even not appeard. Arigato.

[PyTom]

in main.rpy, after label day, you can add a check that sees what day it is, does something special, and then jumps back to day.

Thanks.
And if i want to make like each 7 day there will be no school?

[PyTom]

You need to change the contents of dp_period_names, dp_period_vars, and dp_period_acts each day so that it reflects the activities that are available each day.

(I suspect this will be easier when I write the new tokimeki-style DSE, which focus more on action selection rather then day planning.)

Yay. Does that mean it'll be easier to read and comprehend?

I always loved the DSE engine, but I couldn't think my way through all the programming required.

The goal is to make it easier and less magical. But that doesn't mean it will be totally easy... Dating sims are complicated, compared to visual novels, and at least some fraction of that complexity will need to be exposed to the developer.

If you have a thorough project behind this, remember there are coders to hire . At least that's one thing I'm sure to succeed in compared to graphics and story

[Enerccio]

in main.rpy, after label day, you can add a check that sees what day it is, does something special, and then jumps back to day.

in main.rpy and events.rpy you can use all things like in script.rpy (ie showing backgrounds, playing music, moving characters...)

I got this problem:
when i compile script all is right but when i play it and click on new game:

Can anyone help please

[PyTom]

Are you sure the comma is there on lines 75 and 76? This error is almost always caused by a missing comma.

[Enerccio]

In renpy is fun that each time you amke dsomething wrong the error is tottaly wrong - like when i do not have one word error wos actualy talking about something very other.... very funny

[mikey]

I'm not sure about what you want (to say), but I'm around quite often, you can formulate the request in Slovak and I'll translate it so that you can fix the problem quicker if you need to. Less of a hassle, probably.

Takze napriklad ked nieco zle napisem:
priklad:
$ zanjutsu = Stat('Zanjutsu', 5, 200) som napisal
$ zanjutsu = ('Zanjutsu', 5, 200)

a hra mi vyhodila v uplne inom riadku kde bol tento kod ze
$ shown_stats = [ zanjutsu, hakuda, hohou, kidou, shikai, bankai, relax ]
ze neexistuje premennna Hodou ktoru som len raz pouzil aj to som ju potom zmazal (lebo spravne je hohou)
cize chyba uplne odveci ktora vobec nesuvisela....

druhy priklad:
pridal som
$ event("cut3", "act == 'cut' and relax >= 50", event.choose_one('cut'), priority=200)

a

label cut3:

"I cut class, and spend the morning drinking in the bar. Unfortunately you got sick..."
$ hohou.value -= 15
$ kidou.value -= 15
$ shikai.value -= 10
$ relax.value -= 30

return

a mne to vypisovalo chybu ze nie je definovana premenna intelligence cize dalsia chyba uplne odveci...
(a v tom druhom dokonca ani neviem kde je chyba...)

So, the translation:

----------------------------------
So when I write something wrong, for instance:

Code: Select all

    $ zanjutsu = Stat('Zanjutsu', 5, 200) 

I wrote as

Code: Select all

    $ zanjutsu = ('Zanjutsu', 5, 200) 

And the game reported an error in a different line number:

Code: Select all

   $ shown_stats = [ zanjutsu, hakuda, hohou, kidou, shikai, bankai, relax ]

that there doesn't exist the variable Hodou, which I have used only once, and deleted it afterwards (because correctly it's hohou)
So a completely unrelated error [message].

---

Another example:
I added

Code: Select all

$ event("cut3", "act == 'cut' and relax >= 50", event.choose_one('cut'), priority=200)

and

Code: Select all

   label cut3: 
 "I cut class, and spend the morning drinking in the bar. Unfortunately you got sick..."
$ hohou.value -= 15
$ kidou.value -= 15
$ shikai.value -= 10
$ relax.value -= 30

return 

and it kept reporting the error that the intelligence variable is not defined., so another competely unrelated error
In the second [example], I don't even know where the actual error is.
----------------------------------

Hope this helps. From my limited experience, sometimes it helps to delete the .rpyc files when you made changes that don't seem to show.

Also, I have noticed that you can get a lot of errors when your files are in capitals, SCRIPT.RPY isn't the same as script.rpy.

But these are just my general obvservations, better to wait for proper help. Good luck.

[Enerccio]

I do that and no effect. In first erro when i corrected with word Stat error dissapeard, but in second one i dont know what is wrong...
Thx Mikey for translation I hope to see you in manga.sk forums
