I want to throw something out there. As you know I broke up with my long time girlfriend. It is hitting me a little harder than I thought it would. Please don't be surprised if I promise you a certain day for a release and it's actually a day or two later that it comes out. I'm still kind of grieving from the breakup. We dated for 1 3/4 years. Bare with me. I am doi9ng my best. I am still gonna try to get this out tomorrow though. Just don't be surprised if it's a little late . 12.png

I'm working hard to get the 2nd half of the Extra Credit 0.4 update out to the $5s tonight. That means it'll go free on Sunday. I've been working since 7Am. It's 2PM now. If I have to work another 12 more hours, I'll do it. I've still got the one animation and a few short scenes left to render. I have started coding already and I'm halfway done with that. Stat tuned.

Do not work to hard or long doc. Most know you put in way to many hours already. A day late is still better than most devs out there. Be well and stay sane.

Is it just me or has anybody else had nothing but trouble with the side avatars for the text box?
Every time the speaker changes, there are two or three avatars that cycle through before it settles on the correct one. It's pretty distracting.

It's been going on for quite some time now and I'd figured somebody else would have reported it by now.

Anybody got a quick and dirty on how to turn off the side images?
sorry but i haven't had any problems with Doc's games :)

I'm really not sure why it does that. it has something to do with Renpy. My coder Shaddy is looking into it. We're trying to find a fix.

It may have something to do with an old save. I looked at one of the save files and tried changing the side image values then changing them back. I gave up and deleted all save files, persistent and %appdata%, and started from scratch.

I'm doing a complete playthrough now and haven't had any issues with the side images yet.

I'm beginning to think it had something to do with an error in the persistent save file.
I just saw something that stood out for me when I looked at your code...

Normally, for , you name the files "side <character> <attribute>.jpg, png, webp" etc... Yours, however, are named backwards, and with an underscore. So "eva_side.webp" as an example. That might be confusing Ren'py, as it tries to make a pool of side images to choose from, based on your character declarations.

Another possibility is that maybe you changed the file types between an earlier version and this one? I don't have your older versions still on my computer so i can't check, but if your first versions were png's, for example, and you changed them to webp's, which are what this version has, then the save files could be causing issues. You'd have to delete the persistent data like DeUglyOne did above.

Another issue I see is that your side images are a mixture of lower case and upper case first letters, while all your character image declarations are uppercase.

Off topic.. I laughed when I went to the trouble of downloading and putting UnRen in your game folder, only to realize you didn't archive it, haha :ROFLMAO:

It's probably the conversion. They do start out as pngs and are converted to webps. I'll delete the persistent data file and see if that works.
