In your PyWright Folder, you have a file called "Doc". Open that, it's an explanation (of sorts) of how to use PyWright.

You might want to be more specific. What exactly don't you understand?
Also, playing the test games and looking at the files corresponding to them should help you see how it's done.

Well, if you want to create a case, you need to download all the necessary files in the updater first. Then you need to create a new folder in "games". Then, in this folder, you need to create an "intro.txt" file in which you will put the commands described in the doc according to what you want to do.

It's not very difficult to understand, and you're certainly not stupid... I don't think you're trying hard enough. And by the way, posting twice is neither useful nor recommended.
Still... I suppose you could tell me an example of what you want to do in your game, a particular scene you have in mind, for instance, and I might show you how to make it.

Sorry for the large amount of space, but this is the court.mrco WITH the helper implemented.
Oh, and Godot-is-Diego, just so you know, PyWright isn't all that hard. You just have to figure out how to use it first. (I had that problem too.)

Try downloading some of the test games, play them to see what happens where, and then look at their scripts so you can see what function does what.

Nevermind, it seems that 'Ping posted what I just said.

EDIT: With the court macro, rake away the nametag=$helper_nt . I put it in there for the game I'm making.

Hey, thanks for that awesome updated court macro! I'll include it in the next version. Pah, no legal aide, that's insanity. What would I do without you guys.

Yeah, godot_is_diego, it does take some time to learn. The best is to study other people's cases. Turnabout substitution is good for non-court things. There are also the example games, if you download "test" and then run "the_test" case in there, that game lays out the basics. Then you can check the source code and see how it does what it does. Then you can use doc.txt for more clarification on what the commands actually mean.

When I ry to run a game it says:
"IndexError: list index out of range"
How can I fix it?

EDIT: Nevermind. Figured it out. I had to put "char nothing" instead of "char".

Run the updater, select "Games" and download the game called "Test".

You'll also want to download all the characters, backgrounds, music etc. from the updater, too.

Is it possible to have a GUI Button or something that saves the game without having to press the F5 Button?

EDIT: Oh, and one more thing. I tried the new _cr_back_button variable. It worked, but it didn't work.

I couldn't back out, but I COULD see the back button. Any idea?

Oh, before you ask, the evidence.png, evidence_back.png, AND the evidence_profile.png don't have the back button in the picture.

Nope. Can you post the script you used?

If you try the games/beta10.8 custom court record case, does it show the back button at the part where it shouldn't?

beta10.8 is perfect, there is no back button.

This problem may have something to so with the fact that there is text after it (considering that the update was in the middle of my scripting, so before the new version I had originally put text afterwards so the player couldn't cheat by backing out of the presenting process)

Code:

label test1
judge
"{enormal}Well then, let's have it."
"{c090}What is the victim's name?"
sfx Scroll.ogg
set _cr_back_button false
present
set _cr_back_button true
defense
endcross
"I'm not sure,{n}Your Honor."
endcross
helper
"{epumped}{sfx/Smack.ogg}Mr. Wright! You should{n}know better!"
"{c900}Check the Court Record!"
goto test1

The endcross is because whenever I back out, the game thinks that I'm in the middle of a cross-examination... :nick:

Brawldud, your posted code works as advertised here. No back button is visible on the present screen. I am guessing somehow the variable is getting screwed up from previous code somewhere. If you don't want to give away your case, send me a PM, but I am going to need more script to be able to debug the problem.

Might be a bit too hard to enter, but it would be nice if you could give us players the power of using FG images for nameboxes, or maybe FG images to replace the case selection in the beginning with an image of our own. Also,

Examples:

Spoiler: Without the custom case-box (Minor spoil for my fangame...)

If you show text without a nametag, you could put an fg image in the right spot to act as a nametag.

As to the second request, it's not hard, but it might be better to save that kind of thing for beta11. Then again, there will almost certainly be a 10.86 before that, so there is room for more customization.

Do you know what the X and Y coordinates are for the namebox? I'd be happy to use my custom nameboxes.

EDIT: I'd like a few edits to the testimony\cross examination system, and a few other places.

Testimony:

Court record button should be on the bottom screen, because it makes it a little closer to the DS games. Also, TAB doesn't open the Court Record, from the way it works for me.

It would be nice if we could run a built-in macro at the beginning of the testimony to make the :testimony:

image appear.

Cross Examination:

Why is there a green testimony image here and not in the testimony stage? Also, press/present buttons should be on the bottom screen. Also, I noticed that the cross-examination period makes the name on the namebox green, it doesn't fit with the namebox well.

I hope this isn't too much of a burden on you to add...

EDIT2: Another question.
What is wrong with this code?

Code:

bg AOlogo
bg main stack y=192 z=45 name=4
fg Begin x=0 y=192 z=46 name=begin
waitenter
sfx Gavel.ogg
pause 60
delete name=begin
bg AOlogoinvert name=invert
bg main stack y=192 z=45 name=3
sfx Dunnn.ogg
"{f}{next}"
pause 57
bg black fade stack name=black
psyche3
pause 50
delete name=black
delete name=invert
sfx Hush.ogg
bg main stack y=192 z=45 name=2
bg white fade stack z=15 name=white
pause 30
delete name=white
sfx Dunnn.ogg
bg AOlogo2
bg main stack y=192 z=45 name=1
"{s 25}{next}"
pause 60
bg main stack y=192 name=nub
delete name=1
delete name=2
delete name=3
delete name=4
delete name=nub
bg AOlogo2 name=AOlogo
bg main stack y=192 name=main
bg ao y=-384 name=ao
scroll y=384 speed=20 name=ao nowait
sfx Scroll.ogg
casemenu

The end result looks like this:

Any ideas why it goes too far down?

Those suggestions about court record are definitely a problem. I'll be releasing another hotfix this week to hopefully take care of the cross examination, and some more of the court macro problems.

The scroll command has a bug - to make sure it ends up in the right place use a speed of 16 or 32 (divisible into 384). 10.86 will take care of this too.

Version 10.86 is now live. Autoupdate may or may not crash - this version should fix updating in future versions to allow the software to update without restarting. If the update crashes, just run the game again and it should be up to date. If the update doesn't crash, it is still probably safer to close the program and restart it before playing anything.

This version fixes most of the bugs the second demo of AJ case 5 revealed, as well as implementing some (not all) of brawldud's requests. It allows some customization of the background on the case selection screen, fixes minor issues with when text should be green / when the testimony blink should appear (also letting you show the testimony blink any time), and makes tab work again to bring up the court record.

Major fix, for AJ case 5, is that saving of the game during a court scene does not result in a "corrupt" save. Saving and loading seem very stable at this point.

More details in changelog.txt as usual!

Manual download: http://pywright.dawnsoft.org/updates2/10.86.zip_b1086 <- rename to "10.86.zip", and extract all files into pywright root folder.

Instead of a new demo game, I added some new cases to the beta10.8 game. The update for that should be on the updater service.

The "Download Characters" button, "Download Backgrounds" button, and "Download Music" button in the updater should make a list of packages to download appear after some delay. Click one of those buttons. Then you click the checkbox of each item you wish to download. Finally, you click on "download" at the bottom of the interface to start it downloading.

If clicking on "Download Characters" results in the text "Fetching data from server" there could be a server connection problem between your computer and the server. If you wait some time and it still says that, this is probably the case. It could be a firewall problem, or just some bad connection somewhere.

If you click on "Download Characters" and the text in the content area changes to "No new art/port" are available to download, check to see if there are things already in your art/port folder. If it is empty, the updater should definitely show a list of things to download. I don't know what's going on if this is what is happening.

I can put up a complete patch/zipfile tomorrow with everything in it if you still can't get the updater to work.

The "Download Characters" button, "Download Backgrounds" button, and "Download Music" button in the updater should make a list of packages to download appear after some delay. Click one of those buttons. Then you click the checkbox of each item you wish to download. Finally, you click on "download" at the bottom of the interface to start it downloading.

Approximately how long should it take for the Updater to retrieve the files? I've been waiting about an hour but it still says "Scanning Local Files." Maybe putting up the complete zip file would be the best idea if this is an unusual case. D:

Thank you for your help - I really appreciate it.

It should only take a few seconds on that step, so it must be having some kind of error. If you could send me the log file that would be great. (Updater.exe.log)

Here is a zip file though:
artpack_10.86.zip ~80mb - extract that into your art file and go ahead and overwrite everything.

Next release will be this weekend. There is some good stuff in there :will:

If I can fix the problem with updater that would be a great bonus.

As (Oddly) I'm not getting the updated beta 10.86 games, I'd like an archive to extract from.

Thanks again.

My sig -is- original. Lots of people just make sigs similar to this one a lot.

Could you send me your updater log as well? Pm, or just post it, whatever.

Perhaps something is weird with my server.

http://pywright.dawnsoft.org/games2/beta10.8.zip_2 - rename to .zip, extract to games/beta10.8 folder.

The updater log doesn't change whenever I try to access the updater. It's the right name(updater.exe.log)and I can't really post it as I clean it out every so often to prevent large buildups.

Maybe there could be a variable for whether the player is allowed to skip text (different from _debug on and _debug off) using the new import and export variables. Also a save macro would be perfect. [forgive me if I mentioned this already]

Thanks, the archive worked perfectly and now I have the extra games!

Brawldud: 2 questions, if you are able to answer them, it could help:

When you tried to update games through the updater, did it stop at "scanning local files", or did it come back with no results? What is the final message you saw, if you can remember.

Second, have you modified or done anything to any .pwv files that are located in the games folders? This might affect the updater.

Thank you, glad you can play the updated game now.

I'll take the save game command into consideration as well. You may have mentioned it but I have a poor memory!
