About two months ago, I've reworked most of the class images for better look in school menu. But Xela probably did not update that in his development version, which now after uploading resulted in a strange combination of old and new images in DB folder.

Just delete whatever is not required and upload the new images. I'll delete mine and copy the new once from the DB version so we'll not get the same problem again.

I'll make some improvements there too then. Like deleting really bad ones and renaming.

Oki, if I recall that old code correctly, names do not matter, only folders.

PS: Off the topic, but I freaking love Python/RenPy, our whole gallery code is less than 100 lines (just noticed that)

[DarkTl]

Yeah, I really hate standard gelbooru/danbooru names like 1ccc7336433837a78032f01926d0ae41 or something

My laptop is fried So it'll mean less development time... I code faster on PC though...

My condolences 

Another example of character status screen, from Agarest this time. I like that polygon thing, we could use something similar.  Maybe one for combat and one for non-combat stats.

For 6 years it served me, everything has it's end. My desktop has been collecting dust since I got back from the hospital, I've set it up this morning. It's 5 or 6 times faster and screen is a lot bigger so it's all good

Best thing is that I already have the development environment exactly as it was with the laptop thanks to the magic of DB!

As much as I would love to try this out (In renpy it can be done with UDD and I've been dieing to figure out how that works (it's the most advanced feature RenPy offers)), I think that we have to many stats for such an interface.

[DarkTl]

Hm, I wonder. We could use it for combat stats only (att, def, ag, mag, maybe mdef in the future or luck) at arena. You don't need other stats there.
Don't know if we should show them before the battle, but they might look good at post fight screen.

Might be to much work for a pop-up but I'll take a look.

What can I say, less 'playing' with Rukia and more coding 

I think schools pics are ready. Some of them have quite low res, but if you won't use them as full screen backgrounds, it shouldn't be a problem.

It's not just about coding, I don't remember enough trigonometry to write that code even if I figure out renpy's UDD, it'll take a while to refresh my memory. I am going to get into UDD tonight, but there are no plans to implement those stats any time soon


Edit: Where can I find new scoolpics? Your folder/game folder/elsewhere?

I've found some code we can use, is there any chance of ripping the pentagon shape from that game? My guess is that the mask underneath is 2D rendered but shape itself is an overlay image?

PS: Just for the record, Rukia is also animated with a UDD that I plan to improve, so it's also coding 

[DarkTl]

Sure. Take a look at Agarest folder in my db, there are a lot of interesting interface elements. Pentagon is pentagon.dds.

School pics in your db pytfall folder, ibid where they were.

Thanks, I've updated my dev version with new pics, trying to figure out that pentagon now 40 lines of render code required would have taken me weeks/months to get right without help...
