It can help you with a few things, for example I found a bug in Ren'py a few days ago. I wondered if ChatGPT for example would be able to fix it, I gave it a few tries but it didn't find the solution, so I had to do it myself. It's useful but not always acuarate.

I've used AI just to like, bounce ideas off of it. Some people work things out better when they say things (or in this case, type things) out loud, and AI giving you some feedback on concepts can actually be helpful to frame your thoughts. As far as raw code, it SUCKS with Ren'Py, but can typically give you decent pyt...

Handling the window showing and hiding reliably has always been a bit twitchy. You can call `window hide` just *before* the next character dialogue (or `scene`), or maybe play with the default window show/hide transition callbacks documented [here](https://nightly.renpy.org/doc/config.html#var-config.window_hide_transi...

You can modify any file you want. Every `.rpy` file in your project gets loaded at init time, so go crazy adding new ones if it suits your personal development style.

As a general approach, I'd avoid doing much work in the four original files; if you ever have to rebuild the game (eg. to change resolution) from the launcher, they get overwritten. Any game with significant content is going to be unmanagable in a single `script.rpy`. You'll need to create your own screen, as you've n...

`fade`, `dissolve`, etc. are baked into Ren'Py as specific transitions, so your best bet would be to make a custom transition for the specific fade you want, then only use it for that one image. [https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/transitions.html](https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/transitions.html)

in your code line (as someone awnsered the rest) set up like this; scene bg yourfilenamehere with fade you can also set it up like this if your BG is too zoomed out; scene bg yourfilenamehere: (tab this space over)zoom 1.25 with fade by defining scene and adding fade you'll fade into that scene.

You have to declare `playerpoint` as a global, or else Python will think it's a local variable if it wasn't declared in this module. Insert `global playerpoint` just above the line you refer to it, and you should be cool.

I'm a little confused at the way you switch between referring to jb.name and jb\_name, but that doesn't seem related to the problem at hand. Can you give it a try with `%(jb_name)s` ? That's just another way of adding the content of a variable to your dialogue.

The simple solution is to take advantage of the fact that ADVCharacters's `__str__()` method returns the interpolated character name.

It should be possible by default? Unless you're telling the game to remember things about the character, like holding on to CGs or route decisions, a new save file won't have any of that stuff attached. It'll be totally new and the route will be untouched. If you are telling the game to remember player choices and re...
