Images set by All-In-One GUI Template showing up as missing when running project.

[Mokus]

I'm trying out the All-In-One GUI Template made by tofurocks and have run into a problem with using new sprites in the definitions.rpy that comes with the GUI.

According to the documentation on definitions.rpy:

Code: Select all

## This is a resource name loader that will import the names of files from certain folders
## Intended as a way to quickly grab file names to use in accessibility.rpy, screens.rpy, and captiontool.rpy
## Remember to add commas to the end of each listed item
## As of RenPy7, basic images do not have to be defined (LayeredImages still need to be set up)

Eileen's sprites are in the root of the images folder, and their definitions look like this:

Code: Select all

image eileen_base = "images/sprites/eileen_base.png"

Meanwhile, the new sprites are organized into subfolders and look like this:

Code: Select all

image hoshiko school surprised = "images/sprites/hoshiko/school/surprised.png"

The default project appears to take the assets for the default character, Eileen, and properly display them in-game. However, when I try to use my own sprites, the images set by them aren't displaying, only showing up as the default "image missing" sprite.

I've included examples of what I'm seeing.

I find that if I uncomment the image definition lines that are generated by the .rpy script, then my images show up correctly. However, I'd like to avoid that, as this script should be able to get all the definitions without user intervention.

Should I be doing something differently to get these images to display?

Just in case this message didn't send properly in Discord (and for archival purposes):

Code: Select all

    scene room

    show surprised

    with fade

    e "You've created a new Ren'Py game."

What Ren'Py is doing is ignoring the folder names and going straight for the filename itself, which is surprised. Without re-defining the way the image is referred to, this is how you would have images/sprites/hoshiko/school/surprised.png appear in your game. Unfortunately, this is not useful for us since your characters would have multiple versions of surprised per outfit.

Thanks, BáiYù! That clarifies things. For other users:

Use the definitions.rpy file to generate the image definitions. You can then copy over the lines generated at the top of the file into a new .rpy file and use them in your project.
