Tool Ren'Py Ren'Py Transparent Text Box Mod v2.6.4

[meltyquestfan]

I am about to type a stupid question so please endure this retard.

I assume that when the game launches it will attempt to load all .rpy files inside "game" folder. And your code overriding the text box code will basically hide it? but why it has a priority over the original code defining what is the text box is?

also, I see some games that has a text box opacity option. Is it possible to add few lines in a file to include this option in every renpy game?

as I said, stupid questions

Because of an extra line added to prioritize load order like "init 999:"

also, I see some games that has a text box opacity option. Is it possible to add few lines in a file to include this option in every renpy game?

Probably yes, it's been a while, so I don't remember all the details, but you basically have to change textbox opacity in screens.rpy from being a flat number to a variable, and then add the slider to control that variable.

Probably possible for a stand-alone, but never tried it myself.

So little code to change that I'm amazed that more devs don't do it (or why it's not a RenPy default).
Here's the code I'd been using, left for a dev here that had asked about it.
Here is the single line to add an outline to the font (an afterthought after I'd left the above).

Is the variable we need to change in screens.rpy called 'persistent.opacity'?
Is it the same name in every VN, i.e., is it universal?

Penfold Mole -

I've been using this mod, [v2.6.4], for a long while now, . . . mostly on games that don't have a in-built, "variable opacity dialog box" function already included .

I like the idea of the "variable opacity dialog box", but I haven't found one already packaged up for use, in games that don't have that function, and I have no talent in that field, to do it myself .

Now, on to my reason of being here :
I hadn't noticed before, but recently, while using this mod, when wanting to take a screenshot, and pressing "h", to remove the dialog . . . it's not working, as-in, like that "option" has been disabled .

It that a part of the mods 'normal' function, or, is that not supposed to happen, as-in it's a "Bug" ?

Thanks for your Mod, and your time to read this .

Just found a Ren'py game that it does not seem to work on.
It is this: F95z: The Cabin - Summer Vacation [CellStudios]

Otherwise this mod rules. Thanks for sharing it with us.

And here's another game where the mod doesn't seem to work: Cinderella's Glass Collar [Little Glass Interactive]

Thanks again for a great mod.

Never tried it, so no clue at this point.
Thanks for reporting anyway.

You could give a try to this

It works in a few other games where dialog design is locked to each game character settings, not to global game settings. I don't know if this could be the reason why the regular transparency patch doesn't work, but it's worth a try.
Also easily removable in case it doesn't work, works in unexpected ways or stops the game from working at all.

I am an idiot, I didn't realize Desert Stalker has a built in transparency setting that you can adjust, maybe that's why it didn't work?

I love this mod that I just discovered. Would you be able to add font outline ability to it or not possible?
