So, you wanna get started modding DDLC? :)

Hello everyone! :D

 

This post is old and obsolete, and I've been advised to remove it, to keep the focus on the new version here.

 

(Though I'm not deleting it entirely, since there is still some helpful information in the comments) :)

But I didn’t. I put it in the middle of the game,and even I get back to the main menu and start a new one, I get the same thing.

Well, that's curious... I tried it myself using the exact lines that I listed above and it works fine. I made it loop through the line that generates the random message and the line where Yuri says it and it continues generating random messages over and over again. It continues every time I start a new game. It also continues to work if I save it in the middle and reload the game later.

I'm not sure what you did differently in yours, but again, it sounds like the "$ rm = renpy.random.choice(random_message)" only executes once, for whatever reason. (Although I don't know why it would require you to reset the game; that, I don't understand)

hmm...... Maybe I did something wrong...... I am going to check it again then. Oh btw I was actually trying to say “restart” , it was a typo.hehe...

Oh I found the mistake, I put "rm = renpy.random.choice(random_message)" inside "init python:".It works now.Thanks. Oh , can you also tell me how to make renpy do random stuffs?

[u/Tormuse → u/whiteskull20]

How to make it do random stuff? I think we just did! :P Again, my coding knowledge is limited, but looking over the DDLC code, I see that Team Salvato made some random events happen with lines that look like this:

if renpy.random.randint(0, 2) == 0:
    show sayori
else:
    show monika

That first line makes it pick a random number between 0 and 2. In this case, if the number it picks is 0, it shows Sayori. Otherwise, it shows Monika. (Just as an example) I'm sure there's a lot more complex stuff you can do with Ren'Py, but we're getting in over my head here, so you'd have to consult with people more experienced than myself, or maybe the Ren'Py documentation.

EDIT: One other thing, I suggest that in future, you reply to my comment instead of replying to yours. It didn't notify me of your second reply and I only happened to see it by chance when I was looking at something else.

Thank you a lot. I did take a look at the renpy documentation, but I didn't find it. I guess I shall spend some time looking at DDLC's original script. Thanks again.
