Text Speed reverts back to "0" [SOLVED]

#1 Post by Llunet1 »

Hello!
Before I start, I would like to mention that I have looked around the forum and my problem is different from what I've seen answered to.
I changed my text speed to 35 in the options menu. Then, I deleted persistent, like I'm supposed to, and it initially worked. However, when I restart the game (close and reopen), the text speed reverts to 0 and in the preferences menu it's at the max. I have no idea why it does this! (If I delete persistent again, it repeats this cycle)

Has anyone encountered this problem before? Is there a solution to this?

(*Edit: When I delete persistent, launch the game, and then reload during the game, it also reverts the text speed to 0)

If you want the default cps value to be 35, then you have to edit your 'options.rpy' file around line 280:

Code: Select all

    ## The default text speed in characters per second. 0 is infinite.

    config.default_text_cps = 35
And delete persistent.

No, sorry! You must be mistaking me for someone else.

I have done that. That's the problem. In the code that's how it is, and I have deleted persistent. The first time I launch the game, it works. But if I reload or relaunch the game, it goes to the max as if the text speed was at 0.

Are your game's options.rpy and screens.rpy based on the same ren'py version? If you mixed different version, there's a possibility that the same code is written in both files. Also delete old rpyc files if they are no more used.

Hm. That might be what's causing it. The game was previously in another folder, and I copied it to Dropbox so I could work on it on other computers. So, in that way, perhaps stuff got mixed around and messed up.
I created a new project and copied over my files manually (going into script.rpy and copying it into the new one) and the problem seems to have been fixed!

Thank you! :)
