To show an image we use renpy.show(bg beach") where "bg beach" will be defined as:
image bg beach:
"beach.jpg".
But how to use renpy.show() with directly giving image path to the function. Like,
I have image "Pic.jpg" in game/images folder I have tried renpy.show("game/images/Pic.jpg"), renpy.show("images/Pic.jpg"), and renpy.show("Pic.jpg") but it is not showing the image it is only showing the path I entered in renpy.show() function.
Thanks

You don't need to define the images, since Ren'py detects all the images you add in the "images" folder.
There are different ways to call them in the game (in label)
1.- show image_name with effect_name
2.- $ renpy.show("image_name_without_extension")
Code: Select all
# can be any label
# If your image is "pic.png" (and you save it in the "images" folder), you write this:
label start:
$ renpy.show ("pic")
"Test renpy.show"
return

Thanks, it worked, is there a way to specify image resolution with renpy.show().

I tried many ways and the only one that worked requires specifying the image path XD.
Code: Select all
image pic = im.Scale("images/pic.png", 300, 300) # <---- 300 x 300 pixels
label start:
$ renpy.show("pic")
"Test to show image with specific size."
return

You don't want to use im.Scale - it's been undocumented for a bit now.
Your best bet is to use renpy.show with an at_list:
Code: Select all
$ renpy.show("pic", at_list=[ Transform(size=(300, 300)) ])
Note that using renpy.show usually means you're doing something wrong, as it doesn't allow images to be predicted.

Where is it in the documentation? I didn't see it anywhere XD
Is there any way to see it in the source code? any command?
Thank you. I learned something new (I will rectify the errors I have in my game).
You are welcome
