Dating Sim Engine (DSE) 4.1! Day Planner and Event Manager

[qirien]

Sure, I would personally implement that by keeping the day variable how it is, and using that to calculate the Month/Day/Year for display. This is done in dse-day_planner.rpy
So if you start on March 25, you would have something like:

Code: Select all

$ day_display = day + 24
$ month_display = March
if (day > 7):
    $ month_display = "April"
    $ day_display = day - 7

And then have it show month_display and day_display in the day planner.

hi! i was wondering, im trying to make a sort of school sim where the player chooses the activities for the week and then gets the stats for those. how could i do it for a kinda calendar? ive been trying myself but haven't been able to get it to work.
mostly i need help on how i could make the choices come from like a dropdown for the morning/afternoon/night for each day?

nvm, i got some help coding a custom one!!! :DD

Thank you very much for building this, it looks so useful!

Unfortunately when I try to use it, I get this error:
```
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:

Can anyone tell me what I need to fix? Or is this just a matter of the code being too outdated to be used with the current version of Ren'Py?

The code is a bit outdated, e.g. instead of

Code: Select all

init:
    $ t = Character('Teacher')
    $ gg = Character('Glasses Girl', color=(192, 255, 192, 255))
    $ sg = Character('Sporty Girl', color=(255, 255, 192, 255))
    $ bg = Character('Both Girls')
    $ narrator = Character(' ')

we do nowadays

Code: Select all

define t = Character('Teacher')
define gg = Character('Glasses Girl', color=(192, 255, 192, 255))
define sg = Character('Sporty Girl', color=(255, 255, 192, 255))
define bg = Character('Both Girls')

And yet it should work with the latest Ren'Py. In particular, event is defined in file
dse-event_dispatcher.rpy

If you are using the latest release and all the files are there, then it should work. Probably.

Aaaaand that worked! Thank you so much for your help
