For example :

Code: Select all

jupiter = EncEntry(
        parent=perso,
        name="Jupiter, god of thunder",
        text=[_(""" Text here""")],
        viewed_persistent=True,
    )

I know, if I want to retrives "Juper, god of thunder", I can use

Code: Select all

entry.name

, but I can't find the code I should use to retrieve "jupiter".

(If you wander why, it's because I am using this kind of code to have images instead of text in the list :

Code: Select all

idle "images/codex/entry/entry_" + entry.name + "_idle.png"

But having the entry displaying name is really annoying, I would rather have the id name. I could use the ID number, but it's harder to remember).

Would it be possible to switch from an encyclopaedia to another mid-game? When the character's POV switch, I'd like for the encyclopaedia to have a different layout + entries.

Code: Select all

$ protagonist = "character_A"
a "I know a lot about {a=set_entry:enc_people->about_Dogs}{color=#DA70D6}dogs{/color}{/a}."

$ protagonist = "character_B"
b "I specialize in making {a=set_entry:enc_recipes->about_Fruitcake}{color=#DA70D6}fruitcakes{/color}{/a}!"

I would like to combine that with the hyperlink feature you made a while back, but I think something is preventing the switch from happening. My guess is it has something to do with this bit:

Code: Select all

        def __init__(self,
                     sorting_mode=0,
                     show_locked_buttons=False,
                     show_locked_entry=False,
                     entry_screen="encyclopaedia_entry", # this one ?
                     tint_locked_image=True):

Thanks for sharing the encyclopaedia library with us by the way. It's a great VN feature for info-heavy games!

"encyclopaedia_entry" is just a default screen I've included. Any screen that takes an Encyclopaedia as an argument is valid.

If only the layout changes, you could probably override the entry_screen attribute with the name of another screen, then switch it back whenever you want.

munni wrote: ↑Tue Jan 28, 2020 8:19 am In order to make a 'new' encyclopaedia, I duplicated the screens in encyclopaedia.rpy into something like this:

Code: Select all

screen encyclopaedia_list_A(enc):
	...
screen encyclopaedia_entry_A(enc):
	...	

screen encyclopaedia_list_B(enc):
	...
screen encyclopaedia_entry_B(enc):
	...

The screens look like this:

They work alright once you're inside them, but I can't find how to switch between A and B in-game. Should I duplicate something inside enc.rpy as well?
Do I need to do something specific in order to fully create another encyclopaedia?

Human Bolt Diary wrote: ↑Fri Jan 31, 2020 11:47 pm Do you mean switching the screen used by one Encyclopaedia, or switching which Encyclopaedia you're using?

Switching the entry screen used by one Encyclopaedia can be done by changing the Encyclopaedia's entry_screen attribute.

Changing which encyclopaedia you're sending to the list screen depends entirely on you and how you call the Encyclopaedia.

# METHOD 1 - QUICK MENU BUTTON
action ShowMenu("encyclopaedia_list", enc_people)
# shows 'enc_people' category by default

# METHOD 2 - HYPERLINK
{a=set_entry:enc_places->about_London}London{/a}

define config.hyperlink_handlers = {
    "set_entry": set_enc_entry_from_text_anchor,
}

init -1500 python:
    def set_enc_entry_from_text_anchor(value):
        p = value.split('->')
        enc = getattr(store, p[0])
        entry = getattr(store, p[1])

        renpy.show_screen("encyclopaedia_entry", _transient="False")
        enc.SetEntry(entry)()

The glossary/encyclopaedia I'm trying to make is in the shape of a journal or dictionary and I kind of figured out how to imagemap the filter tags and the base, but I'm not sure how to input the entry buttons based on the format that already exist.

I'm thinking that I would like the entry buttons are themselves would be images/imagebuttons. I'm not sure how to even begin to do that. Something like this:




I'd thought of just using a gallery that links to scene snippets instead, but I need the filter function.

Avalonica wrote: ↑Mon Nov 04, 2019 8:04 pm Another thing that is very relevant is (at least from what I get when using the hyperlink) is that I do get the "about_dune" entry, but when I press ESC it opens the OPTIONS menu, so the only way to quit down the Encyclopaedia is: Close Entry > Return. It's too many steps.

When accessing the Encyclopaedia with ShowMenu("encyclopaedia_list", your_new_encyclopaedia ) an ESC is all that is needed to close it all down. Is there any way when "directly" calling a entry in the Encyclopaedia that we somehow when have "read" that entry we just can press ESC and return to the game.

Would the new entries placed in the encycopedia_screeen file or the screen_renpy file?
