Possible for players to upload their own custom image?

[Wudgeous]

I know that a lot of renpy games currently have some ways to customize the protagonist: choosing one of a few preset portraits, or using dollmakers with individual options.
However, the presets and dollmakers will always be limited to what assets the artist has created for the game.

Is it possible to instead allow the player to upload their own art or photography - much like changing their profile picture on social media? I'd like to know if this is worth looking into (and some direction on where to look), or if I should cut my losses early because it's impossible!

you might be able to do what you want nothing impossible in renpy

this might help it might give a idea on how to do it

don't know if this will work it might need some adjustments

example 1:

Code: Select all

class CLICKIE(object):
        def __init__(self, name, fileName, location, clickType, isActive, tip):
            self.name = name
            self.fileName = fileName
            self.location = location
            self.clickType = clickType
            self.isActive = isActive
            self.tip = tip

        @property
        def clickable(self):
            avtr = "Clickables/{}/{}.png".format(location, self.fileName)
            return avtr

example 2:

Code: Select all

def BGstr_chap():
        global location
        global chapter
        global sequence
        OutputStr = "Backgrounds/{}_{}_{}.jpg".format(location, chapter, sequence)
        if renpy.loadable(OutputStr):
            return OutputStr
        OutputStr = "Backgrounds/{}_{}.jpg".format(location, chapter)
        if renpy.loadable(OutputStr):
            return OutputStr
        OutputStr = "Backgrounds/{}.jpg".format(location)
        if renpy.loadable(OutputStr):
            return OutputStr
        return "Backgrounds/background.jpg"

Alternatively, leave the artwork for the characters unarchived and allow players to simply swap files
