How would i set up a custom mouse pointer in renpy 6.99.11?

Found this section in the documentation, but I don't see any specifics about what to type.

define config.mouse = None
This variable controls the use of user-defined mouse cursors. If None, the system mouse is used, which is usually a black-and-white mouse cursor.

Otherwise, this should be a dictionary giving the mouse animations for various mouse types. Keys used by the default library include "default", "say", "with", "menu", "prompt", "imagemap", "pause", "mainmenu", and "gamemenu". The "default" key should always be present, as it is used when a more specific key is absent.

Each value in the dictionary should be a list of (image, xoffset, offset) tuples, representing frames.

If I had to guess, I'd say you type "define config.mouse" in the options.rpy? How exactly would you refer to your image file.

define config.mouse = ???

It does stated in the documentation that it take Python dictionaries.
https://docs.python.org/2/tutorial/data ... ctionaries

Code: Select all

define config.mouse = {
    "default" : [("gui/cursor_default.png", 0, 0)],
    "say" : [("gui/cursor_say.png", 0, 0)]
    }

I'm still new to coding and that link scared the hell out of me.

Thanks for the code to change the mouse. It worked I noticed you put two lines, default and say... did you just write the two to show that the cursor picture can change if you hover it over something? I'm not sure.

"default" is what the cursor will be showing most of the time as default.
"say" is the cursor that will be show during the narrative text.

You can try change the keyword around and see when the cursor changes. The list are "default", "say", "with", "menu", "prompt", "imagemap", "pause", "mainmenu", and "gamemenu". It kinda self explanation. The "default" key should always be present, as it is used when a more specific key is absent.

If you just want "default" cursor, then you don't need to add anything else. Just remove "say" line.
