Ren'Py Gallery Images Don't Unlock

[Impious Monk]

I am trying to create a gallery of bonus scenes which a player unlocks by completing each of eight parts in the game. Taking baby steps, before I try to add the actual scenes I'm just trying to get simple images to unlock. But I am failing. Here is my code:

init python:
    gallery = Gallery()

    gallery.button("bonus1")
    gallery.condition("persistent.unlock_1")
    gallery.unlock_image("images/other/1-5.jpg")

    gallery.button("bonus2")
    gallery.condition("persistent.unlock_2")
    gallery.unlock_image("bonus2")

    gallery.button("bonus3")
    gallery.condition("persistent.unlock_3")
    gallery.unlock_image("bonus3")

    gallery.button("bonus4")
    gallery.condition("persistent.unlock_4")
    gallery.unlock_image("bonus4")

    gallery.button("bonus5")
    gallery.condition("persistent.unlock_5")
    gallery.unlock_image("bonus5")

    gallery.button("bonus6")
    gallery.condition("persistent.unlock_6")
    gallery.unlock_image("bonus6")

    gallery.button("bonus7")
    gallery.condition("persistent.unlock_7")
    gallery.unlock_image("bonus7")

    gallery.button("bonus8")
    gallery.condition("persistent.unlock_8")
    gallery.unlock_image("bonus8")

screen gallery:

    tag menu

    hbox:
        xalign 0.5
        yalign 0.5
        spacing 30
        grid 4 2:
            add gallery.make_button(name="bonus1",unlocked="images/s1_1/1-5.jpg", locked="images/other/gallery_lock1.jpg")
            add gallery.make_button(name="bonus2",unlocked="1-6", locked="images/other/gallery_lock2.jpg")
            add gallery.make_button(name="bonus3",unlocked="1-7", locked="images/other/gallery_lock3.jpg")
            add gallery.make_button(name="bonus4",unlocked="1-8", locked="images/other/gallery_lock4.jpg")
            add gallery.make_button(name="bonus1",unlocked="1-9", locked="images/other/gallery_lock5.jpg")
            add gallery.make_button(name="bonus2",unlocked="1-10", locked="images/other/gallery_lock6.jpg")
            add gallery.make_button(name="bonus3",unlocked="1-11", locked="images/other/gallery_lock7.jpg")
            add gallery.make_button(name="bonus4",unlocked="1-12", locked="images/other/gallery_lock8.jpg")
            spacing 15
        textbutton "Return" action Return()

I'm using the bonus1 image as my testing image. I've set the

 $ persistent.unlock_1 = True

value in the code at the end of Part One of my script and played through it (multiple times). But there is no change in my gallery screen. I'm not sure if the first image is supposed to change automatically to the unlocked image or if I'm supposed to click on it to show the unlocked image. But either way, I still just get the locked image (labeled "Part One" below).

Can anyone help?

Thank you, that does make the code a bit cleaner.

Still looking for a fix to my problem, though.

Ignore me.

I'm so used to people using custom gallery code, I assumed it was a gallery you'd downloaded elsewhere.
My mistake was not noticing that you're using the standard inbuilt

provided by RenPy.

Looking a little closer now...

It's difficult to diagnose without all the code.

The first code block shows creation of the new gallery object, based on the Gallery class. But you haven't included the class Gallery code.

Likewise, the second code block shows creation of the onscreen buttons using function make_button(), but that code isn't included either.

The error is likely within the function make_button(), since that will be making the decision about whether to lock or unlock the image to allow it to be interacted with. Probably something to do with how it checks condition when figuring out whether to use the locked or unlocked image for each button (and the related button action()).

init python:
    gallery = Gallery()

    gallery.button("bonus1")
    gallery.condition("persistent.unlock_1")
    gallery.unlock_image("images/other/1-5.jpg")

I'm not to familiar with the gallery feature, but if I'm sufficiently awake, you're giving two conditions to your gallery.
The first one with gallery.condition() (here "persistent.unlock_1" must be True), and one with gallery.unlock_image() (here, "images/other/1-5.jpg" must have been seen).

Can it be that "images/other/1-5.jpg" is the image you want to show when the gallery is unlocked, and not an image unlocking itself ?
In this case, just replacing gallery.unlock_image() by gallery.image() should fix your issue.

here is a different one that I have used and it works better then the one in the renpy documents

there a lot of other members on the renpy forums stated it doesn't work that well

Thanks! That did the trick.
