[Solved] Side image is blank/not showing

[Jae]

Hi, I haven't had the need to update Ren'Py for the last few months (now on 6.99.12.2.2029), but today I did so in order to utilize vpgrids (works wonders).

Anyway, because I had a much older version, I have to redo all my side images now with the new documentation. HOWEVER, I'm having issues that I can't seem to figure out...

I defined a character as such:

Code: Select all

    define p = Character(" ", image="red",
        color="#cf0000",
        ctc="ctc_blink", ctc_position="fixed", callback=callbackcontinue,
        window_left_margin=300) ##leave space for image to show
    
    ##couple of images I'm test running first
    image side red norm3 = "Characters/Red/Side/side_red_neutral_3.png"
    image side red surprise = "Characters/Red/Side/side_red_surprised.png"

Tried testing dialogue:

Code: Select all

    p surprise "???"
    p norm3 "..."

Bottom left corner where I expect the side image to show.

No success. The say window shows, but no image accompanies it.

I'm basing all this off the side image documentation, specifically on "invisible characters": https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/side_ima ... ide-images

Can anyone explain what's going on and the solution? Side image files are 350x350 in size. I've tried with full sprites as well and nothing shows either.

Oof, found an answer: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=25136&p=326002#p309592

The actual say screen was the issue.

Now to fix the transitions...
