Hi, ive been trying 2.6.3 in some games recently and quite a few give this error "

I'm sorry, but errors were detected in your script. Please correct the
errors listed below, and try again.


File "game/y_outline.rpy", line 1110: keyword argument 'xpos' is incompatible with 'xalign'.
    xpos gui.dialogue_xpos

I dont remember happening in any game a few months ago.

Thanks!
That part of the code was actually copied from the RenPy default input screen code back in 2020 to replace the customized one in Just Another Bubble by SuperWriter. And the code in the v8.1.1 of Ren'Py is still the same.
renpy.org is down for the moment, so I can't check what the newest version actually is.

Could you please specify, in which games that error pops up, so I could maybe take a look?

In the meantime, you can just delete that line or the whole section in the y_outline.rpy
It won't matter in any other games than Just Another Bubble anyway (I don't even remember that game any more).

When using v2.6.3 with Midnights Paradise Is it possible to remove the grey background on the MC namebox? Everything goes except the MC grey background. Thanks.

I was able to resolve this issue by removing the textbox background call seen in " variables_anim_chars.rpy "
character.mc = Character("[mc.name]", namebox_background="#606060")
You may wish to update your version to to include the code

Some games are having problem with "xpos gui.dialogue_xpos" in line 1111. After deleting this line, no renpy error anymore.

 

[Demnor]

I tried your patch on My Bimbo Dream and got an error message. Using JustJane's suggestion above seems to have solved the issue though.

Really great patch by the way, I've used it lots. Thanks for making it.

Woah! Ariana Grande in F95zone?! Naah, that can't be real. :confounded:


How do you get on it you are it (Ariana Grande)?

Hi Penfold Mole ! Love your mod and using it in all games i play , but some of them started to give me this error:

 

[Fla24xxx]

It doesn't seem to work on College Bound

Edit: scratch that, it's working fine, pretty good

 

[YoRHa_A2]

TY for this amazing mod.
If you can share some of your knowledge, is there a way to add more options in the quick menu? for example restore the Hide, Quick Save, Quick Load buttons for games that removes it? Also, a custom button for accessing the console?

 

[Mookys]

Thanks. Interesting mod.

 

[concord72]

When using this mod with Banking on Bella, the quickmenu also disappears. This is the only game I've encountered where this happens. Is there any way around this?

Sorry for not following my own thread for a long time.

I just posted a small update (v2.6.4) to the transparency patch, mostly to address the issue of crashing Ren'Py v8-based games.
I actually fixed the problem quite a while back but had no time to post it then and forgot about it later. Sorry!

There's not much anything else new in there.

Any chance you could automatically change the dialogue to be white with a black border so we can see the text regardless of what the dev uses? I've noticed that most of the time when the devs don't have transparency settings, they also don't have a font color that can be seen properly in a transparent text box.

Yeah, you can do that. penfold-mole mentioned it somewhere.
Something like that (doesn't work every time) :

Please tell me if it is possible to make the text outline thicker?


it just hurts my eyes afterwards.

I'm not sure if it will work for this game, but I add the following file to most games I play that sets the outline to be thick...

Thanks, but it affects only some text, the rest still the same.
