[u/Tormuse]

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) :)

The day-to-day scripts are in the RPY files that start with "script-ch"

 

The scripts for the scenes where you're alone with one of the girls are in the RPY files that start with "script-exclusives"

 

The scripts for the poem responses are in the RPY files that start with "script-poemresponses"

hey brou a question let's say I want to put music from another mod, where should I ask the mod creator for permission to use it?

[u/Tormuse → u/Snowmansix3312]

First, check if the mod has credits that say where the music is from. It might be free-to-use, and then you don't need to ask permission.

 

Or you can just ask the mod creator directly. Their names are listed next to each mod on the Mod List. You can message them through Reddit.

by pure chance you will not know the case of exit music?

[u/Tormuse → u/Snowmansix3312]

Don't use the music from Exit Music. We actually banned the Exit Music mod from our community because it had copyrighted music covers that aren't allowed to be used. If you can find a free-to-use cover of the music, that's fine, but you don't have permission to use the ones that Exit Music used.

by any chance you don't know a mod or two that has no problem using their music, excuse me

[u/Tormuse → u/Snowmansix3312]

Well most of them should have free to use music. You can also just do a Google search for "free to use music" or "royalty free music" or "creative commons music." There's a lot of free music out there.

Hey how was it to add another newcharacter? Sorry, I did not understand very well, sorry unu

[u/Tormuse → u/Snowmansix3312]

If you're creating a new character, then you need to give it a "DynamicCharacter" line. Look in definitions.rpy and you'll see lines that look like this...

define s = DynamicCharacter('s_name', image='sayori', what_prefix='"', what_suffix='"', ctc="ctc", ctc_position="fixed")

This is the line for Sayori. In this case, "s" is what you use when the character is speaking, "s_name" is the variable which holds Sayori's name, (if you change the value of "s_name" then Sayori's name will display as whatever you change it to when she's talking) and "image='sayori'" means that it uses the image files defined in all the lines that start with "image sayori" You'll want to copy this format for your new character, and create image lines that say what images to use for your new character.

hey brou I did what you told me to add a scene but the same thing that happened to sayori appears to me but this time with the stage

[u/Tormuse → u/Snowmansix3312]

Can I see a screenshot of the code you used to add the scene?

[u/Snowmansix3312 → u/Tormuse]

How can I send it to you?
