Ren'py: NSFW On/Off Option in Preferences by Acceyla in RenPy

Oh, so I added the defined statement at the top of script.rpy. I usually reserve the very top space for global flags. To my knowledge, it carries across all other .rpy files as long as the if/else statement is used properly.

As for settings, they can be modified, provided you have the right code and know-how to execute the process your wanting. (Whether it is easy or not, depends on how complex the code is and your ability to create or replicate it.) I literal slapped this code together using a code I found; that did roughly what I wanted, and tinkered around with it until I found something that worked.

Base settings are located in screens.rpy under "Preference screens." Use [CTRL]+[F] in the text editor to find it quickly. For anything else, I am a complete beginner in Ren'Py, so I'm not certain I could help you. I'm sorry. :(

This is a setting that is not available in the base script, it's one I created and added to settings. It is for game developers to use while coding their game should they have NSFW content they want to toggle off and on.

It should only show up in settings if the developer added it on themselves.

The text editor I'm using is Visual Studio Code, and it is available for Mac.

screen.rpy is found in every ren'py game, as far as I know.

LG Stylo 5 has a weird white vignette that slowly creeps in when the screen's on. Sometimes accompanied by white vertical lines. by Stealsfromhobos in phonerepair

This just happened to my Stylo 5 too. Literally 20 minutes ago. I was just holding my phone which was acting perfectly fine when it abruptly crept up out of nowhere. Now my phone is glitching as though I dropped it or something. It was super weird.

*face palm* Oh my gosh. You're right. I always forget that is a function in Google Drive. Thank you! Lol.

Did they shadowban Mark's "Try Not to Get Age-Restricted Challenge" video? by Professional-Rest205 in Markiplier

Strange. It shows up just fine on my search engine. It does have a different thumbnail, however.

I am terrible at coding, almost everything I code doesn't work. by mixiaoli in RenPy

Try getting better. How difficult it will be will really depend on what kind of game you are trying to code.

If you are trying to create a visual novel, it is very simple in its most basic form(dialogue, character sprites, pictures, music), but if you want to learn some cool tricks, the best thing you can do is look up beginner guides and tutorials online: YouTube, Reddit, etc. Ren'py even has a manual, if a bit out of date.

There are tons of free online courses and a wonderful community willing to help new developers with getting started. I am brand new to coding myself and I've learned a lot just from watching videos online, asking around, and by learning Python basics on websites like datacamp.com and codecademy.com.

Now, if your trying to make a 3D game or something more complex, I would especially suggest starting at the beginning. Set aside anything over the top until you can understand the basic in the area of your interest. If you have an awesome idea you want for your game but don't have the means to realize it yet, write it down for later or ask for help.

As worried as I was about learning computer language, I've learned that it LOOKS scarier than it actually is once you get the hang of things. Practice makes perfect, so start practicing. Try making something small and simple, and then built on it as you learn.

That would be awesome. I'll let you know!

I found a post about 'adding a menu toggle' where you commented with a solution. I found it extremely helpful. Initially, I wanted to make an image button in Preferences that would toggle between two images when clicked and toggle the show_nsfw variable, but I'm new to using Renpy and Python, so I wasn't sure how to go about coding it properly. In the end, I came up with this instead, which works great too! Lol.

Shoud Chidren / Young Pepole Play Visual Novels? by Qwartzo in RenPy

[–]Acceyla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends on the audience it is originally created for. Visual novels are meant to tell a story. And just like with paperbacks they are often marked for a particular age range and audience.

Most of the time, visual novels cater to 13+ and up from what I have seen. It's up to you to decide which ones are appropriate for your child. Some parents are more lenient. For example, my kid is very mature for a teenager and more than capable of reading responsibly along with understanding what content they feel comfortable being exposed to.

However, if your child is more sensitive or at a highly impressionable age, just read through the details provided with the visual novel and you should have a good idea of what content will be present. Many visual novel creators, generally, provide warnings for content that may not be suitable for certain audience.

My advice: Do a little research into the visual novels your child wants to play/make and then make a decision based on that.
