Small SF Update again:

- Got rid of unused interface elements
- Changed some styles
- Removed unused styles
- Fixed bugs reported by CW

Interface folders feel a lot cleaner now.

May I ask about current talk frames?
I've found that lines in arena said by team.leader are misplaced

Code: [Select]

team.leader.say("We are not looking for a fight outside of our league!")

team.leader.say("You seriously believe that you've got a chance?")is there something that must be set to a character to say lines properly?

And also, If I would like to display and try to change portrait picture during talks and interaction, what could be the best way to do that?

------------
@Thewlis

Code: [Select]

if pytfall.world_actions.location("tavern_inside"):
            pytfall.world_actions.add("brawl_join", "Join in!", Show("pyt_wip_screen"), condition=Condition.global_flags("tavern_entry_brawl", "==", day + hero.AP))
            pytfall.world_actions.add("brawl_stay", "Stay", Show("pyt_wip_screen"), condition=Condition.global_flags("tavern_entry_brawl", "!=", day + hero.AP))
            pytfall.world_actions.finish()Somehow this doesn't work and it's displaying only "Stay" button even if there is a brawl happening. (but there is no content related to those buttons whatsoever so we can freely remove them if there is some problem...)

pushed some small fixes

is there something that must be set to a character to say lines properly?

This should not be hard to fix, I think there is a weird offset added there...

And also, If I would like to display and try to change portrait picture during talks and interaction, what could be the best way to do that?

Need to look into this, I expect that there are plenty options to control this... just need to come up with a convenient one.

Pushed some fixes for interactions lines. Let's see how our current system (all those elifs) will work first. If there will be complaints, then I'll try rts function everywhere.
What we need now is more lines for several topics. Not every topic has enough lines because we mostly took them from other games, and things like hold hands for example are quite rare. Maybe Klaus could write them, because I definitely can't.

I wonder what should I do next...

The post you are trying to quote either does not exist, was deleted, or is no longer viewable by you.

Damn CW keeps deleting his posts

To answer:

Yes, what you described is exactly what I've had in mind. Also we can remove/add stuff based on girls personal flags making those menus even more unique and interesting. I think this is very close to the final version of Interaction system in the game.

No, disposition is not being applied, we'll fix that later, code is here:

Code: [Select]

   class Girl(PytCharacter):
        # bla bla bla
        def __setattr__(self, key, value):
            if key in self.STATS:
                if key == 'disposition':
                    # This is a temporary crutch:
                    if last_label.startswith("gm_"):
                        if key == "disposition":
                            value = value + hero.charisma / 2it should be:

Code: [Select]

                    if last_label.startswith("interactions_"):
to make it work.

Our current system should handle everything same as the old one, only the access code has changed, we're still using normal Ren'Py labels and script.

Do whatever interests you the most, there tons of stuff that need to be done before the next release!

I figured dates are supposed to be preliminary agreements and take a lot of time, like in AA2 (not necessarily with a black screen). Because they are irl.

I mean players reaction.

Yeah, the day+hero.AP bit was being calculated when the actions were created then stayed like that. I've made it so conditions can now "calculate" the second operand as well as the first.

[Xela]

I've wrote some of my thoughts on a possible stats system, let me know what you think.

Tomorrow I will prolly have some time to enable girls capture in SE and fix some issues with the module (more or less wrapping it up for the release). If anyone wants something added there, let me know. If that goes well and fast, I'll take a look at some other stuff as well. Tonight I need to figure out what's wrong with my simple beach events (they throw "you've called integer error" after next day has been run (I expect it's Ren'Pys define statement)) and fix some styles I've messed up yesterday...

[CherryWood]

Thought so... disposition increases felt a bit slow somehow.


About stats:  ...I can't think or anything to say here    Do what you guys think it's best and then tell me how to update girls, mobs and items to work again and I'm fine with it.
The thing is, I never worked with game systems and I don't know how majority of stuff is calculated even now. When I was creating something with stats, I usually just putted in some numbers similar to the closest thing I could find.
So even if you change the whole thing overnight, I seriously doubt I would notice

Noted... I tracked down the pickle bug to it's source but still have no explanation for it and still blame Ren'Py

Edit:
SF Updated:
- Restored some styles
- Fixed a couple of bugs
*renpy.retain_after_load() bug in the brothel screen is fixed but remains unsolved (could easiely be a bug in Ren'Py itself)

Sorry to say, but after your last update some buttons groups like "praise" or "proposition" and few more disappeared from interactions

[Thewlis]

...I didn't even touch them. Sigh, I'll beat them into submission tomorrow.

Loot items. They don't have to replace gold (yet), but they should be droppable and sellable.

Also, how are you going to set initial levels/stats for captured characters?

Forgot all about that, I'll throw those in as well...

Randomly by default, fixed if specified.

[DarkTl]

Shouldn't they be limited by team's average level or something?
