And thank you once again for this incredible mod. You have done amazing work and have really made playing this game a much more fun and enjoyable experience.Oh, I will certainly give all of your suggestions strong consideration! Thanks for the positive thoughts and feedback![]()
Yeah, it is indeed very odd. It may have to do with certain Linux systems, such as the one I'm using (Mint), determining image types differently than other machines like Windows and Android.I would very much like to know what the reason behind this .png thing is on linux. It works well on Android (which also is linux based in a way). But I also got feedback that it does not work on Mac (without a precise analysis, though).
Whereas other systems determine the type of image by looking at the extension at the end of the filename, certain Linux distributions identify images through other means. This, in turn, leads to conflict for a Linux machine when it encounters an image with a ".png" file extension at the end of its filename.
Really, I'm just making an educated guess as to what is going on.
- I think most people would welcome this screenshot mod. Just inform them about where exactly the screenshots will now be saved and then warn them to put all their old screenshots into the new screenshot folder.For your other points:
I can look into the screenshot issue, but I cannot promise anything. I fear if I now change the location, a lot of users will complain because they no longer find them
Regarding the overrides, that would basically mean to create a sample image for each option, which would definitely be possible. The current solution was only a quick hack. Would be a nice to have, but I will see when I come to it.
Same as for the error message, which basically just displays what Ren'Py gives to me when the files are accessed. I know it can be confusing for the user to have an error that actually is no error (file not found) but I do not know how to avoid that without hard-coding on the error text itself, which would not be a very smart solution. I wll see if I can change that.
But I understand your worry to not hastily implement this before confirming with more people if this is something they would appreciate and enjoy.
- Regarding the overrides, I'm just asking you to, at the very least, take the new game_overrides folder I created and put it on the main post of this thread, labeling it for Linux users.
Then whenever you update the game_overrides mod, do the update for the Linux version as well.
It really is just a matter of ridding the png filenames of the ".png" at their ends.
- Lastly for the error message, I'm not asking you to fix or get rid of the error.
I just want you to warn us that the error is no big deal. Warn us in your main post here on this thread, and warn us at the top of the green window box for the configuration.
I know getting rid of the error is too much work for such a minor problem. That's why I only want you to get rid of user confusion by informing us beforehand that the error is no big deal.
I hope this clarifies things and I wish you the best with all your endeavors.
Especially this particular one.
