discussion Complete VN Ren'Py VAM All the Wrong Things [1.0] [Goosenards]

[Goosenards]

Well shit, can you all (who are getting black screens in place of animations) confirm which download link you're using, and try the first Gofile download link to see if the issue persists?

I used Pixeldrain, PC.

I'll do some looking around to see if I can find what the issue may be. Do other ren'py games work fine for you? (my other game Sparkling Duplicity for example has the cutscenes coded and encoded the same way) Make sure your graphics drivers are up to date, I just tested the download from this post and it works for me.


Yeah if you're upset with Nari already I'd definitely recommend not playing the rest of this one.

I'll be getting back to SD around the beginning of the year, so you won't have to wait too long.

Oh and also Hurry up and finish the PGI-257 release, I'm excited to try it out!

Yeah, drivers are updated, SD an all other Renpy games are working fine. I'll try downloading it again and start a new game.
So, tried the first Gofile download, still the same black screens.

It's the same thing, downloaded from the first Gofile link and both Scenes with Nari have partial black screens and no Animations as well. I noticed the same with a different Game though that uses VAM but there is complete blackness.

I had try the first Gofile (i dont remember what link i used first time) and no changes for me

 

[elfieeven]

    scene black with dissolve
    pause

I'd assume any time you see that behavior it's intentional.

Yeah. I assumed this was the cause of the odd black screens that need to be clicked but don't give any indicator.

Well then I have no idea why it wouldn't be working as intended. I just tried a couple of the mirror links and they all work for me as well. I'll try and browse the ren'py forums for similar issues and see if I can't find a solution. I apologize for the problems, hopefully I can find something that will help.

All good, i haven't had that issue with Games before that uses VAM.

It would be the .webm encoding that your system would be having an issue with. Have you played @Goosenards other games without issue? Knowing that would help them know if it's something they've changed in how they encoded these animations.

This looks very good!

Love Sparkling Duplicity so far. I'm a little concerned that this dev suffers from what we gamers call "restartitis." I read the comments on his first game and the consensus is that it was a rushed ending in order to focus on sparkling duplicity, which is, so far, excellent. But now this before the other is even that far along? ngl, the premise here has huge upside. I just hope both games are given the attention they deserve right through to the end.

 

[cetra]

This has HUGE potential, very much looking forward to what comes next

I had this issue with a game before, I think a Blackheart game, cant remember. But the issue is tied to muting the volume. Specifically using the 'Mute All' button. So if you have mute all selected, regardless of where volume sliders are the animations will be black screens, with no errors. Uncheck mute all and put volume sliders to any spot, animations work and you do not get black screens.

That actually did the trick, unchecked "Mute all" left the sliders where i had them and now the Scenes play as intended, would have never guessed that one lol.

Yeah only down side is you cant full mute the animations with the slider. But meh, not a big deal there. Otherwise great game so far Goosenards!

But thank you very much for mentioning it, appreciate it.

Thank you so much for mentioning that! Now that I know where the issue lies, I'll see if I can't work out a compromise for those who want to keep everything muted on the next build

@mig776 @Bollagus @Dubbie looks like a work around has been found. All credit to @Delests for troubleshooting this issue before.

 

[CarolusRex]

Looking forward to play this new game. Loved Rational Caos.

This shit started a few days ago, is it Windows or the browser?
I can't download almost anything anymore.
