Ren'Py Heavy Five [Ch.2RS] [Nottravis]

Let's go crazy for a second

1. Go to the game's directory, and in the directory named "game", create a directory named "images" ;
2. In this new directory, create another one named "ui" ;
3. Download the attached image ;
4. Put it in the said "game/images/ui" directory ;
5. Ensure that it's named "BASE talk.png", without the leading number ;
6. Search for an image you like and want to be your avatar in the game ;
7. Put this image in the said "game/images/ui" directory ;
8. If you play a female MC, name the image "talkfmc.png", else name it "talkmc.png". It doesn't matter if it's a JPEG image, name it "png" anyway ;
9. Edit the file script.rpy and go to the line 538
   You'll see a line looking like this :
   

   image side MC = ConditionSwitch("gender == 'female' ", Image ("ui/talkfmc.png" ),"gender == 'male' ", Image ("ui/talkmc.png") )

   Replace it by this :
   

   # image side MC = ConditionSwitch("gender == 'female' ", Image ("ui/talkfmc.png" ),"gender == 'male' ", Image ("ui/talkmc.png") )
   image side MC = Composite( (312, 305 ),
   ( 41, 34), ConditionSwitch("gender == 'female' ", im.Scale("ui/talkfmc.png", 212,195),
   "gender == 'male' ", im.Scale("ui/talkmc.png", 212,195) ),
   ( 0, 0 ), "ui/BASE talk.png" )

   Note: the "#" before the original line will transform it into a comment. This way you don't need to have a backup of the file, the original line is still available in case of problem.
10. Launch the game and, if I haven't messed my explanations (cross his fingers), enjoy your new avatar during the dialogs.

If you pry hard enough, perhaps that it will be a feature in the next update ; please, pry with me...
If you can also pry for Chris accepting to marry me, I would be glad

Original Chapter 3 contains Chapters 1, 2 and 3. Remastered Chapter 2 is being worked on and I would suggest waiting for it since it will have superior graphics, better UI and more content than the original.

ok, thanks for the answer NeimadFR

Well I just played the remaster of chapter one, finally some free time. I'm very impressed by the quality upgrade. Personally I feel like it was worth the wait. I liked the game before, I bloody love it now. Kind of sad that Notty got driven out of the site, I quite enjoyed the banter on the thread, made for a good laugh in between work sessions.

I'm sure that sooner or later, Notty will peek around the corner here. She definitely mentioned her intent to do so at some other place. One of the reasons she moved to that other place, was, that she loves the silly banter, but we will have to stay a bit more on topic in this thread. Yes, it's a big shame, but understandable from the forum admins' point of view. Maybe we'll occasionally spill something from her usual habitat here though.

How do I edit script.rpy when scripts are packed in scripts.rpa?

How do I edit script.rpy when scripts are packed in scripts.rpa?

You use unren (either for Windows, or Mac/Linux).

 

[NeimadFR]

You use unren (either for Windows, or Mac/Linux).

I just opened scripts.rpa in the notepad and found the line with the search function, won't it work if I edit it in there ? Is unren mandatory ?

 

[Akamari]

You use unren (either for Windows, or Mac/Linux).

To extract it? Won't it still use the scripts in the archive?

 

[anne O'nymous]

Is unren mandatory ?

Yes. If you edit it directly into the RPA, you'll break the whole RPA file and all the scripts.

To extract it? Won't it still use the scripts in the archive?

No, Ren'py will use the most recent version. You can, eventually, have an error when you'll try to launch the game for the first time, with Ren'py not wanting to work. But just launch it again and everything will be good this time ; it's just Ren'py making a fuss to have some attention.

It works! But I had to change the talkfmc picture from jpeg to png.

 

[anne O'nymous]

But I had to change the talkfmc picture from jpeg to png.

Normally it wasn't needed. Ren'py shouldn't care about the extension. As long as it's a supported one, it will load the image even if the format isn't the one implied by the said extension.
It's what permit to have compressed version of games here ; the images are webp, but the extension stay the original to not mess with the game.

 

[NeimadFR]

I have no idea what I'm doing wrong, I followed the instructions but only have the talkmc without the BASE talk

Hmm. Are you sure you have "BASE talk" and not "BASE_talk"?

 

[redknight00]

noname is banned, the review stays since we don't delete old posts of banned users, I still come around to clean the off-topic posts and Patrick Stewart is best girl. All those matters are closed and not up to discussion.

 

[NeimadFR]

Hmm. Are you sure you have "BASE talk" and not "BASE_talk"?

Yeah, that's the first thing I checked

 

[anne O'nymous]

Hmm... Looks like you forgot the change in script.rpy, or to save the file after you changed it

 

[NeimadFR]

I checked multiple times, the change is done, saved and still there when I re-open it (I renamed the old scripts script backup.rpy and script backup.rpa and put them in another folder for good measures so there shouldn't be a conflict)
I copy/pasted it in a Google Doc if you want to check

[...] (I renamed the old scripts script backup.rpy[...]

Stop here, it's the error. Put this file outside of the "game" directory (and not in a sub directory). Ensure that you also removed the rpyc version of this file.

Ren'py don't care of the name, he'll see "whatever.rpy", he'll think that it's a script and use it. Therefore, you changed the line in the original... then revert the change in the backup

 

[NeimadFR]

Hurray ! Thanks !
