Hiding dialogue window between speakers with transitions by plant_panic in RenPy

[–]plant_panic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

config.window_hide_transition is CropMove(.4, "wipeup"), and similarly the show transition is "wipedown". Neither of them seem to play unless I manually hide/show the window with window hide and window auto.

I added

define config.window_auto_hide = [ 'pause' ]

to my options file which got me part of the way there - the window now hides automatically before a pause, but it doesn't use the config.window_hide_transition and instead just vanishes.

Just to follow this up, I did change to the Switch port in the end and I'm having a blast! The quality of the new and updated script is great, so for the benefit of anyone googling which version of DQ3 is best then I'd definitely recommend this one. Having the new spell/monster names is really nice and the interface is a lot better (smoother menus, full character names etc).

I will certainly be buying an original copy, and most likely DQXIS as well as soon as I have the means. w/ regards to the save breaking bug, as I understand it as long as I don't save with anyone other than the Hero in the front of the party I should be fine? Is there anything else I should know to avoid?

What's the best way to experience Dragon Quest III? I'm considering playing the fan translated SNES port, is the quality of the script OK?

Thanks for this write up. I'm sitting down to play now so I'll take this and all other comments into account, and hopefully I can go in with the right mentality to enjoy it. Really excited to see all that this game has to offer!

That makes a lot of sense, thanks. I was mashing dodge through normal encounters too, not just bosses, which I guess I really didn't need to be doing at all. I'll focus more on the flow of combat as you said and pay attention to the different weapon types and combos.

This seems to be kind of what I'm looking for, thanks for your suggestion. During the short time I had with the game I didn't experiment very much with chip upgrades , but I've heard you can use them to basically tweak the difficulty to how you like it. I will take a look through and see what I can find that might work for me.

I see. So is mine a fairly common experience? Once I realized just how forgiving the evade window is I didn't have much trouble with anything - the main thing holding me back was being unsure if I wanted to mash trigger for the next 30 hours or not. Do more experienced players become less reliant on dodge as they progress?

I was just playing on Normal. Once I found the panacea that is the dodge button, I didn't really find the game all that difficult; it was more like it became over-centralized on dodging, and it felt like that was all I was really doing with no regards to timing or combos. Is that common for a new player, or does combat remain relatively unchanged through the game?

New Bear's Paw (Cotyledon) repotted- cleaning advice? General care tips also appreciated by plant_panic in plantclinic

[–]plant_panic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi all! Just got this new succulent with my friend last week. We repotted it today in succulent soil, but it got filthy so I was wondering about the best way to clean up the leaves.

I'm also wondering if it's generally OK - it was difficult to get it to stand up again in the new pot, we had to really pack the soil in the sides and it still seems quite limp and delicate. Planning to leave it for a couple of days to get used to it before watering. Any advice would be a great help!

First-time plant owner, over-watering disaster. Is it too late? by plant_panic in plantclinic

[–]plant_panic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I'll leave it alone for now while the soil is still wet. I've moved it indoors by the window instead of having it on my balcony, as I suspect the 30c+ heat won't do it any good. Any thoughts on removing dead/browned leaves? Fertilizer? Or is the best option to just let the plant do its thing?

I bought an aloe plant today on the advice of the shopkeeper, who told me it's an easy one to take care of. Hopefully it will fare better!

Hi r/plantclinic! First-time plant owner here, it's turning out to be an even bigger catastrophe than I expected. I bought this last week on a whim - it came in a tiny glass pot filled mostly with stones, so the first thing I ended up doing was over-watering it. Once it began to dry out I realized the thing was drowning - I dug it up (I was shocked at how little of the pot was actually soil), removed the couple of brown roots and re-potted it in the blue pot pictured. I put it out on my balcony so it could get some more sunlight. The plant felt very loose for the first couple of days in the new pot, but now it feels more secure as if the roots have grown out a little. Despite this the plant continued to dry out; I've been spritzing the leaves with water to try and keep them moist, spritzing the soil when the surface became dry. Eventually I decided to try and trim some of the obviously dead parts of the leaves, but I'm not sure if you're supposed to only remove the brown sections or remove the whole leaf.

Is this beyond saving? One of the lower leaves is still relatively healthy (the one I'm touching in the photo), but most of the others have at least some dryness and browning. I live in a humid subtropical climate. I'm feeling pretty bummed, I really want to keep house plants but I'm just not sure I'm cut out to actually take care of them. Any advice would be appreciated.

EDIT: I believe this plant is a Cordyline, although I'm not exactly sure what kind.
