Auto Highlight | Renpy Tutorial

[@JimmyCrackorn]

Your videos are so helpful! I'm learning a lot that's helping me advance. I've got a good topic for you that I think a *TON* of people would love to have a tutorial on: how to customize the quick menu bar. It would be things like appear on hover, hide on unhover, adding a background, adding a background that follows the text when hovered / unhovered, adjusting the text position over the background, and hiding the text and only part of the background [like if the background has a tab that's intended to always be visible, then hovering makes everything else slide in from the edge of the screen].

You can achieve this by making a dark_transform. The downside is it requires more typing and copy/paste throughout the visual novel. Using a dark_transform, you would type something like this: Show person smile at center, dark_transform I like your concept though with having it all in the character code. The thought of less copy/paste is ideal. I’ll give this method a try. Btw, the shading on the characters (that aren’t speaking) didn’t look very noticeable.

Hello Zeil, I love your videos but the volume _(your voice)_ is quite low in this one. Even compared to your other ones, the volume is lower than them too.

[@nanami3605]

Hello! I am planning on using RenPy to create my school project- which is a game. My question is, can my classmates and teachers access the game without downloading the RenPy launcher? Thank you so much.

[@athenyach]

THANK YOU ZEIL!!! GODSENT

[@souravde2029]

I'm so happy you are still uploading. So here are a few things that would be great if you could make a video on. How to store relations, like the player has made all the right choices and now his friend character has become his best friend. How do we do that? Next I saw your map video and it was very nice but how do we progress in it, for example The player visits his friend A's house and does some tasks there and then leaves and goes to friend B's house and the next day when he goes back to friend A's house we resume the task from where they left it for example task 2. These 2 are very confusing and I could really use a tutorial on it.

[@batatapalha1241]

For the first, u can use a variable that store numbers. Everytime that the player makes a correct choice, adds 1. When doing a bad choice, loses 1. If the number is higher then a pre defined one, the character in question becomes his best friend. For the second, maybe doing a distribution of If statements and boolean

[@piput8533]

This doesn't work at all

[@alexjunior6463]

please don't stop making tutorials

[@pentagramburns]

Hi Zeil, thanks for the content! (liked and subscribed!) I have a question with making a call back to a character when the player has input their own name. I've been trying a few things and nothing is working. I'll put my code below. The first is working fine, the second is not working. If anyone can help, it would be great! (WORKING FINE) define t = Character('Topaz', image='i_topaz.png', color="#d2be0a", callback=name_callback, cb_name='t') image i_topaz =At('i_topaz.png', sprite_highlight('t')) (NOT WORKING DUE TO NOT RECONGNISING INPUT NAME.) define P = Character('%(P)s', image='i_mc1l.png', color="#e712b2", callback=name_callback, cb_name='%(P)s') image i_mc1l =At('i_mc1l.png', sprite_highlight('%(P)s'))
