Thanks for your replies. I double checked in preferences to see whether Skip Unseen Text was enabled but it wasn't. Next I deleted the persistent file from Renpy folder for the game. There was no change. Maybe the cause is Chapter Selection being unlocked making the game think that the player has already read all the text?
But I don’t see why Chapter Select would affect it either. All it does is jump to a specific label and sets some variables. It shouldn’t either have an effect on seen/unseen text.
ThunderRob You are always a voice of reason in a sea of confusion.
This is actually quite a bit harder than you would think. If you take a Ren'py script (that's actually what prints the words to the screen) and run it through a spell checker, it's going to throw off all kinds of bogus errors because its' going to trip over the Ren'py coding. If you write it in a word processor first then port it into Ren'py, that works easier, but adds a lot of work. I am in favor of actually proofing the finished work (or having someone else do it if that is available). Like everything, in a one- or two-man band producing a single project, there are only so many hours in a day, and something has to give, especially if the dev is committed to releasing once a month.
I have always thought that whoever tests a game should do so with script in hand. That would catch a lot of errors that cause real problems, not just typos, like unreachable code - sometimes whole sections that are unplayable because variables aren't set properly or there's a 'jump' in the wrong place.
What else seems to be the reason then because it's treating me as a person who has completed the game.
What if the unlocked Gallery is causing the issue? How can I lock the gallery and chapter select?The best way to test is to do a play-through making sure that all the scenes work as intended and to have others play it and pay attention to dialog. Even then, people will miss things. You can try to give the code a once over but in reality given the way the code is formatted it is easy to miss things. A smart text editor like
Fair enough.
I think that a spell checker in Ren'py would be phenomenal. But given the high cost that they charge for the program (i.e., nothing) I am not sure if it is high up on the development list. Now if you're a programmer, Ren'py is open source and I am sure they would welcome a contribution.
Spellcheckers are built-in to most of the text editors available. I know there is one in Notepad++ (it has to be turned on though) and I know there's also one in Atom.
^^^ Reference my first message re spell checkers in word processors.
If I can avoid having Leah murder me for what's going on with her little sister, the world will be a lovely place.
Don't you think she already knows? Nude beach? True, they peer pressured little sister into going in, but nothing on earth would have convinced Karina to undress in front of MC.
Indeed hehe, considering I like Karina more than Leah actually.
