Ren'Py Want to learn Ren'py modding

toChangeMi MUST have as key the whole dialog line, character for character, and in the default language of the game.

Just to reiterate what Anne said... toChangeMi is for whole dialogue lines... word for word... letter for letter... They need to be exact matches for the whole line, including any text tags like [b] or [i].

Thanks for straightening me out, I figured it would be something simple. It's even in the original post I quoted:

Firstly, there is a list of whole lines of dialogue to replaced.

I didn't grasp that literally meant the entire line of dialog, thought we were talking whole arbitrary strings being swapped. Do'h!

Thanks to your help it's all working fine now.

    patchRegExMi = r'\b(?:archon|archon\'s|Zephyr|zephyr)\b'
    regExEquivalentMi = {
[...]
        "archon's": "Archon's",
[...]
        }

Hmm. It's to validate first (RegEx don't strictly works in the same way in all Language), but normally the "archon's" part isn't needed.
The \b represent anything that isn't a letter, while letters are generally A-Z, a-z and _. Therefore, r'\b(?:archon|Zephyr|zephyr)\b' should be enough to put an uppercase to each archon found in the dialogs.

This said, it being present will also not prevent the correction to happen when needed.

Thanks, I wasn't sure how exactly [b] defined word boundaries so put both in.

But I've now tested it without "archon's" and the first replace does indeed fix both.

One day it will be your turn. At least it's why I wrote comments like those, and I'm sure that it's the same for 79flavors.

Trust me when I say I'm still very much a newb myself.

Except for the bits I already knew (because of similarities to much older programming languages), also everything I know about RenPy and Python these days is because anne O'nymous and Rich taught me as I went along while I was trying to "fix" someone else's code for my own amusement.

Thank you for the tutorial 79flavors
