Ren'Py 7.4.10 Released

[PyTom]

I'd like to announce Ren'Py 7.4.10, the tenth patch release of Ren'Py 7.4. This release is a small one, to fix a regression in 7.4.9 that occurred when large images were displayed.

There are also several fixes to the way voice interacts with text with pauses; the performance of drag and drop; and how the android port automatically selects an app store.

The Indonesian and Polish language translation has been updated.

7.4.10.2178
Use/transclude/vbox still bugged.
Create new project with this code, open "About" menu, click "Increase", see value not changing, uncomment $pass, click "Increase", value changing.
I seen related issue closed on git. Am i doing something wrong/weird in this code?

Code: Select all

screen about_left(val):
  textbutton "Increase" action SetScreenVariable("test_val",val+1)

screen about_layout(val):
  hbox:
    align (0.5,0.5)
    spacing 100
    use about_left(val)
    vbox:
      transclude

screen about():
  tag menu
  default test_val=0
  use about_layout(test_val):
#    $pass
    text "[test_val]"
  textbutton "Return":
    align (0.5,0.95)
    action Return()
    keysym "game_menu"

label start:
  "test"
  return

Hello, PyTom!
I've got an issue with images and transforms. An image that contains transform (some animation) works fine in ver. 7.3.5, but in ver. 7.4.10 animation doesn't occur. Am I miss something?

Code: Select all

image purple:
    Solid("#f0f")
    size(500, 500)
    
transform stretch:
    "purple"
    xzoom 1.0
    linear 0.5 xzoom 0.5
    
transform shrink:
    "purple"
    xzoom 0.5
    linear 0.5 xzoom 1.0
    
image stretch_to_full_size:
    contains stretch
    
image shrink_to_half:
    contains shrink
    
transform slide_transform(y_anchor=1.0, t=0.5):
    linear t yanchor y_anchor
    
    
screen test_animated_button_scr():
    default full_size = False
    
    default flag = True
    
    frame:
        pos (0.95, 0.15)
        anchor(1.0, 1.0)
        if flag:
            at slide_transform(y_anchor=1.0, t=0.0)
        elif full_size:
            at slide_transform(y_anchor=0.0)
        else:
            at slide_transform
                    
        button:
            if flag:
                add "purple"
            elif full_size:
                add "stretch_to_full_size"
            else:
                add "shrink_to_half"
                
            action [
                SetScreenVariable("flag", False),
                ToggleScreenVariable("full_size", True, False),
                ]

    
# The game starts here.
label start:
    "Animated button test."
    show screen test_animated_button_scr
    "On click rectangle changes its size in ver. 7.3.5, but not in ver. 7.4.10...(("
    "..."

Awesome - just downloaded and tried it, and the issue I raised in another thread has been fixed. Much appreciated, PyTom!

[PyTom]

Alex, drKlauz>>> Both of these issues should be fixed as of the Nov 4 nightly, which will probably eventually become a Ren'Py 7.4.11.

[drKlauz]

Tested with actual game code, all problematic cases seems to work now. Thanks a lot!

Alex, drKlauz>>> Both of these issues should be fixed as of the Nov 4 nightly, which will probably eventually become a Ren'Py 7.4.11.

Tested on 7.5.0.59n and code worked fine - thank you, PyTom.

But, I've got an issue with launcher itself...))
When I choose one of the projects, its name (Active Project) doesn't changes, but the 'Launch Project' button works correct (runs the chosen project).

For the last few versions, has anyone else noticed that running a dev version of a game has gotten rather unstable when run from the Mac Ren'py Launcher ("Launch Project")? I get fairly frequent non-repeatable crashes. I wish I could pin down a specific cause, but it's pretty arbitrary -- the most common trigger seems to be scrolling back in the dev Console.

[PyTom]

zmook>>> Do you have a traceback, or is it a crash without one?

[Triority]

Swing doesn't seem to be working again

Swing doesn't seem to be working again

This should be fixed in 7.4.11, which just went into prerelease.

Great !

Can you update the "suggested ATOM editor", as it is throwing errors after updating many of the package files.

The error suggests that users update to version 1.40.0 at least, but "we" can't. They are currently on version 1.58.0 now and RenPy is still stuck on version 1.34.0 from January 8th in 2019.

I tried manually installing ATOM, but it installed in the stupidest location, with no option to select a location to install. However, it fails to load "project folders", unless you do it manually, each time. (That makes working with individual files of the same name, rather difficult.)

I couldn't even find the executable that RenPy uses... I was going to try to replace the exe with a shortcut to the new version, in hopes that it might open the same way. Instead, I found everything BUT an executable in the ATOM folders, within the RenPy folders. Anyways... it would be nice to have an updated version of ATOM, which our internal packages work with. Even the RenPy language package has more function that isn't available in this version that is included with RenPy. There was a whole list of auto-complete settings that don't show, or may not exist, within the package bound to this 1.34.0 version of ATOM. Just a giant picture of the logo and a few indent options in this version.

[PyTom]

The version of Atom that comes with Ren'Py is 1.57.0.
