Ren'Py

Simple scene library for Ren'Py

Fri, 2010-03-19 01:32 — Chris Charabaruk

While some visual novels offer a way to play back scenes after completion of the game, Ren'Py doesn't offer a scene player in its standard menus. However, it is possible to add such a feature, as the code here demonstrates.

Automatic directories for audio in Ren'Py

Thu, 2010-03-18 23:04 — Chris Charabaruk

This is an idea I had for Ren'Py, which saves visual novel developers from having to type out a complete path for any music, sound or voice files they want to play in their project. If implemented, it will make for less cluttered project directories and less redundancy in play and queue statements.

Ren'Py settings for SciTE 2.0.3+

Wed, 2010-03-17 12:03 — Chris Charabaruk

With a minimal change, SciTE's Python lexer can be used for formatting of Ren'Py scripts. The property settings below can be used to configure SciTE 2.x to better deal with Ren'Py. Note, however, that properties in SciTE are global, and not per-buffer; if you're switching between Python and Ren'Py files, you'll need to write some Lua code to handle swapping property values whenever tabs are changed and files opened.
