VN Ren'Py Re Even [v0.2.8] [ReEven Studio]

[_Akkira_]

Oh right, so there shouldn't be any issues at all, like stuttering just shouldn't happen then if it's just playing a video, it's literally unplayable it's so bad. I did always wonder what the hell was up with RenPy and it's ridiculous struggles, I've run Witcher on this thing... a VN shouldn't cause so many issues, so maybe it's just a software issue.

I've checked the actual usage during animation, it's using 35% GPU... not that. 676% CPU... that is not just playing a video, some other stuff is happening that really should not be happening.

This usually happens when you give too many commands to display animations without adding a command to hide the previous one — so the animations keep running, they’re just not being displayed. The same thing happens with images: Ren’Py’s memory usage keeps getting heavier.


For example, in my code here:

Spoiler: Example

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

There are only commands to show animations and none to hide them.
When the third animation plays, it becomes a bit slow — and I have a decent PC.
So, I’m not saying that’s necessarily the case here, this is just an example.

There's 4 different animations that play one after the other in a scene, and each one gets progressively worse, the last one is just frozen, abusing CPU too. So that is a very likely culprit for this issue. I also did take a little look through and noticed there's no framerate limit set so it's also trying to display as many frames as possible, which is as many as a CPU can I guess

So if I go into the script, which I can't with this as there's just an archive, I can add in
show animation1
hide animation1
show animation2

and that should fix the lagging issue?

Yes, this will probably fix it.

Yes, that was my starting code. I didn't know to add the hide animation for that scene, but I have added it in the Aqua scene. I will surely fix this in the next patch.

Cool, it's something I now know to watch out for too, can patch games which make my machine feel potato like and it's easy to spot as it's progressive easily enough. May know fuck all about coding but I can edit RenPy as I do write a bit so that's actually not too hard

 

[Sneak Monkey]

Yes, this will probably fix it.

So I gave this a go on Sicae, I noticed some animations were perfectly fluid but when it came to H scenes, got progressively worse, and sure enough it improved the performance to the point where I ended up with no stuttering at all. Thank you for the lesson, much appreciated.

You're welcome! I used to have this issue a lot, so I tried to find an easier solution.
You can create this code anywhere in script, outside of any label:

Spoiler: code

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

This will hide all images and animations.
Sometimes Ren'Py might still keep a few images in memory even if they're not visible.
So, it's usually a good idea to add a command that fully hides or clears everything to avoid memory buildup.

Awesome, thank you.

I've done my best to avoid getting into any kind of code but it keeps happening, seems inevitible at this point, I'll be making my own project likely at one point.

 

[Havik79]

Yeah, no bad start, could be interesting.

 

[OmegaBlazerX]

Looks like a good enough story on the surface hope it's not too complicated in making the right choices for the need of a Walkthrough Mod i would add it in a heartbeat if available it's hard to find good games especially having a true Harem feeling i hope it gets finished at some point and have a proper Ending and not something rushed or having 30+ Endings like i seen in some cases.

An interesting general story idea, and good models, but the entire cast are idiots.

MC gets thrown into a fantasy world by people so close to him as family, and they don't explain anything nor do they offer any help or support. This doesn't make any sense at all. If you were getting someone to start playing an MMORPG you enjoy, you wouldn't do things like this, let alone bringing someone to a new reality.

Hi Dev, does this game has Foot fetish content not only footjob?

In general you are correct, however, that really depends on the person you are bringing into that mmo. Personally, I'm more of a explorer/farmer and like going off to do my own thing instead of being told that so and so place is the best place to farm exp and level up. The reason for that is due to playing a mmo in the past that had a universal quest which required materials from various level fields that could be repeated many times over to produce a valuable item within that game and I would have missed out on identifying where those items dropped if I had followed the advice of someone who just wanted me to level quickly. I remember one mmo I played, I could not join a party or get any help from anyone till I reached level 15 so there is a chance that he may party up with the girls now considering he hit level 20.

In addition to that, there are some mmo's that have starter missions that put players in an area that can only be accessed due to the quest which requires people to create new characters to help like you mentioned. Once the quest is completed or if there are level limitations put in place that place can no longer be accessed. Considering this is a device that works off of the dream state I can only assume that only one character can be created so certain missions can't be helped with. Due to that I can further assume that any help from a person that has so many levels above the slimes level would effect the gained exp and may also have a negative impact on how many slimes were killed because they touched the same slime so the kill didn't count even if the mc got the last hit.

Yea, but you didn't spend most of your life in prison. You know MMOs, you've played loads of games, you know the tropes and cliches. MC is just out of prison after ten or so years after going in at ten years old.

He has barely any gaming knowledge in general, and next to no experience in anything.

I used MMOs as an example, but the "dream world" isn't an MMO, it's a shared alternate reality accessed while dreaming, it has similarities but it's not an MMO in any conventional sense.

The girls 100% dropped the ball by not telling MC anything about this world and it's rules

 

[Havik79]

Would have been nice to know you need a new save.
