I don't see any problems with

    init
        image fire_1 = FilmStrip('content/gfx/be/filmstrips/fire_1.png', (192, 192), (5, 4), 0.1, loop=False)

in a separate file if you use a custom animation and then

    python:
        SimpleMagicalAttack("Fira2", menu_pos=1, attributes=['magic', 'fire'], effect=20, multiplier=1.6, mp_cost=7, range=4, desc="Ignites the air in a limited area.",
                                           attacker_effects = {"gfx": "fire_1", "sfx": "default"},
                                           main_effect={"gfx": Transform("fire_2", zoom=1.5), "sfx": "content/sfx/sound/be/fire4.mp3", "duration": 2.0, "aim": {"point": "bc", "anchor": (0.5, 1.0), "yo": 40}},
                                           target_sprite_damage_effect={"gfx": "burning", "initial_pause": 0.1, "duration": 1.3},
                                           target_death_effect={"gfx": "dissolve", "initial_pause": 0.7, "duration": 1.2})
        char.attack_skills.append("Fira2")

inside a label you are gonna call.

Happy..





For this 1 i made another without the bottom teeth like the drawing but i thing lower lips should be more like a U shape than a V.. tell me what you think about it





Edit:
Will be important when i take only the face for the 120/120 portraits

[lamoli]

Also i really have a hard time finding profile with the right expressions.. as im after standing and with face angle that permits the eyes to look at you.. (to make portraits from those later)


If you have more of those in angry/happy/shy and for the rest of the expressions that would be great..


Also lots of pictures i found have the girl sitting or other poses.. do we need to restrict those to represent resting or other stuff like that ?

[lamoli]

Sad..





If you have another sad facial expression let me know..


Suggestive..





Need more specific suggestion facial expressions..

I don't see any problems with

Thanks! I used the same code, but my problem was that I had SimpleMagicalAttack entry in init but thats too early for battle_skills dict to be initialized - when I put that in _start_id label, it works fine.
Strangely it worked that way in alpha and that confused the hell out of me.

Hm, I like a V form more here.

The system welcomes almost any pictures. Sitting poses, depending on circumstances, can even be used for both resting and profile tags. For example this one, which also has eating tag. The character is relaxed, but it's not like she's sleeping or something.

Where do you search for them? I mean, the best way is to download big packs, such as touhou, persona, naruto or sailor moon, or a few random packs, and use the tagger mask option to find emotions you need. It allows to instantly find the tag you need.

Hmm iv been browsing https://chan.sankakucomplex.com/ as i only have 4 packs.. and yes i search using the tagging like "pr/po e(1-e)" but its like 90% of all i find isnt whats needed or not standing or i already have something too close..


Atm focusing on profile so unless sleeping/resting/eating/reading emotion ( i wasnt planned on doing now ) they need to be standing


For the sad facial emotion i need more than the 1 i have but need to be different.. ( i guess it depends of what sad is for you ) so maybe you can chose a few sad looking girl for me lol
and its the same for suggestive ( matter of personal choice i guess.. )


I will try to find the others i do not have ( confident/indifferent/scared/tired )


Edit:
Well i will need sitting pose for tired i guess

[lamoli]

do you have samples of anime eyes ( open/closed/blush/and so on.. ) so i could see how they work.. i tryed something custom on the happy emotion but doesn't look right lol..

Hmm, interesting. It might have pictures I don't have in my packs, I mostly use websites listed here.

For sad you could use something like

Sadly, I'm not an artist 
Deviantart has plenty, I suppose.

I had to change loading order because things got really messed up otherwise. Those skills now work like all other objects in the game.

Might be best to save this one for in pain i dont have yet

I am trying to find the best compromise for the gui/reports design. What was originally planned becomes a complete mess with loads of buildings so it will prolly have to be split once more into major building and business reports. I am looking into making it work somehow without adding more code and complexity but it is not looking good

Maybe a break from businesses and jobs is what is needed atm, to get some perspective...

There is another update for renpy, therefore I assume it's safe now to fix all screens?

No, when: Ren'Py 6.99.11 Pre-Released will be called a Released version (without prefix), it will be perfectly safe. Many people are still reporting cr@p and it gets fixed and updated almost on daily basis.

[DarkTl]

Are there changelogs for prereleases btw? I only see them for releases.
