Ren'Py 7.4.6 Released
Added 2021-06-13 23:41:23 +0000 UTCI'm happy to announce Ren'Py 7.4.6, the sixth patch release for the 7.4 series. This release contains a number of fixes for 7.4.5, both to improve platform compatibility and to extend some to the features added for the new 3D Stage.
This release include a new camera statement, which is used to introduce transforms that will persist until changed. This allows the show layer statement to revert to the behavior it had in 7.4.4, improving compatibility with projects in production. At the same time, it allows more concise control of the camera in 3D productions.
This release introduces the Model displayable. While right now focused on allowing multiple textures to be combined (it's now possible to implement dissolve-like transforms without a creator-defined displayable), it will in the future serve as a way to access 2D and 3D model functionality.
This release fixes a mistake in the 7.4.5 that prevented builds from working on iOS, and gets the model-based renderer working on that platform.
This release updates Atom and the language-renpy plugin.
In addition, there are a number of bug fixes and other improvements.
Ren'Py 7.4 is the the product of over a year of development, and one of the biggest releases of Ren'Py to date. This series of releases focuses on updating Ren'Py's internals so that Ren'Py is ready for its next 15 years.

Thank you Tom! Look forward to the new feature and any others that you may do to it. It really is an awesome engine. Say hello to Eileen for me! She really needs her own novel!

2021-08-25 04:25:16 +0000 UTCI'm not sure I can help with that - each game is different, so I can't support modifying the game. I'd suggest contacting the game's creator to see if they can make you a build with a different textbox. Other than that, I'd suggest using the shift+A menu to change the size and font, or to enable self-voicing to have the text read out to you.

2021-08-25 04:25:03 +0000 UTCHello Renpytom! Hope you are well. I wonder if yo can help me with a problem I am having with Ren'py. I am a fairly new user and even through the fantastic help you have on the net I cannot figure out what is wrong. It is regarding the textbox. I need a dark textbox around my text because my eyesight, sadly, is very poor. The thing is, when I create the textbox, and recompile the VN the textbox goes light again. Is there anyway to stop this form happening please? Thank you!
