Ren'Py 6.9.3 released

[delta]

I built "the question" since is only 8mb (my bionic heart demo was 50mb!). Uploaded it here:
http://www.winterwolves.net/the_question-1.0-mac.zip

Simple, CFBundleExecutable is still set to "Ren'Py Launcher" in the Info.plist, not "the_question" as it should.

Thanks for diagnosing this. I'll fix it when I have a bit more energy.

[jack_norton]

Yes true, even the icon points to launcher.icns (and not icon.icns) and description, etc changing it by hand makes game work. Will now remove that file then.

[Schnauzer]

Maybe this is my oportunity to colaborate with the Spanish translation and learn how to use it because I'm stuck with that T-T

[MagicKid]

Thank you for that one! I enjoy testing it out and using the functions. It is a good version of Ren'Py!

[PyTom]

I've uploaded a 6.9.3b, which fixes the bugs reported above, and some of the bugs reported on the website. (The rest are hard to fix while maintaining the software renderer's performance.)

I've also changed the name to "Road to Recovery", for obvious reasons.

Please test and let me know, as I'd like to make a final release in a couple of days.

[PyTom]

Hm... has anyone gotten around to testing 6.9.3b? I _think_ it fixes the remaining problems, but some confirmation would be nice before I finally release it.

[lunasspecto]

I've used Ren'Py 6.9.3b a bit and haven't had any issues so far. I made an all-in-one archive and a Macintosh app for the kinetic novel "Crimson" using 6.9.3b (posted in the game's thread). Only one person has downloaded each so far, and I haven't had any feedback about how they work, but I know the all-in-one archive works fine on my Ubuntu machine. Moreover, I'm pleased with all of Ren'Py's new features.

[Jo'ogn]

Hm... has anyone gotten around to testing 6.9.3b?

German XP sp3. Trying to build windows x86 distribution.

I can build "the Question", but is there anything I need to change with my own projects to build them? I got no errors building with 6.9.2. And this traceback doesn't seem to point at any of my files...

Apart from that I really appreciate the project folder option, makes developing more convenient! ^_^b

I'm sorry, but an exception occured while executing your Ren'Py
script.

I must admit I wasn't using it because was about to finish Bionic Heart, but now I'm using only the new version (the new features are great!). I did another test build for mac and this time no problem, everything worked fine
I'm using it since 3-4 days only but so far seems good, no problems.

[jack_norton]

I spoke too early: I am using SCiTe as editor, and CTRL+0 doesn't launch the game anymore. If I click launch on the launcher it works, but if I try with the key combination (the one I use more often) nothing happens
If I open the panel I see:

Code: Select all

>"C:\- indie dev -\games\renpy.new\Heileen2\game/../../renpy.exe" "--game" "C:\- indie dev -\games\renpy.new\Heileen2\game"
>The system cannot find the file specified.

seems wrong path to renpy.exe (I am using the new "set project directory" feature).

Jo'ogn, can you try to replace renpy-6.9.3/launcher/distribute.rpy with the attached file? I think it should fix your first problem. I'm not sure about the cause of the second, but it looks like you're not running Ren'Py properly.

Jack, I'm not sure how to fix your problem. Basically, the problem is that we no longer know how to locate the Ren'Py directory from the location of the game files. (I guess I'll have to consider removing the launch shortcut.)

[Jo'ogn]

It did fix it, thank you. It was only one problem, I merely quoted both error files.


Uhm, "build distribution" puts everything(!) that is in a project's folder into the archive o_o; I have other project related files next to the game/ folder. I would have expected that renpy only takes the game/ folder to build a distribution... Would that be a reasonable thought or do I need to keep wip related files outside project folders.

[PyTom]

you need to put them in a different directory, or add them to the list of excludes. People often want to include additional things with their game distributions, like documentation, so I just include everything.

[PyTom]

After fixing Jo'ogn's bug, I'm comfortable about releasing Ren'Py 6.3.9c as Ren'Py 6.9.3 final. So I did.

I'll also be uploading an updated SciTE shortly, that takes care of Jack's problem. At some point, I'd like a SciTE user to step up and start supporting it... I don't want to have to maintain support for two editors I never use.
