Certain sounds do crash the game that didn't happen in the previous version.
Like the creator of Final Fantasy, I'm better at telling a story.

Many known issues:
*no color tinting
*no 3d
*dual screen portrait view only
*very slow initial load
*saved games and cases wiped out if uninstalled
*cannot type into edit boxes
*android sometimes just kills the process for no reason... save often
*the back button automatically saves your game before backing out
It's also the latest version of the engine, which is light on features but should be much less crashy. I'll do a proper update for other platforms soon.
Before you ask... an iphone version would be cool but at this point it's still a question of if that would even be possible - not to mention the difficulty. So it won't be ready anytime in the near future. You can thank apple for that :P

Thanks! Honestly the android version was 90% done for a long while, I was just having trouble tracking down a bug in the latest build system. I kept trying it every once in a while and running into a wall. Once that wall came down it was pretty much smooth sailing.
Most of the stuff listed under .989 are things that I planned for .988 but punted on in order to get a release ready. Chances are, as .989 nears, a lot of those may be punted on to yet another later release... so don't get your hopes up too high! But the focus for 0.988 is bugs, so after that I would like to get more cool features in.

I have a question. When you select a game from the Py menu, there is abit of a lag/pause before the game actually loads. Is PyWright loading assets and all that stuff up? Preloading? Or what?
Reason I ask, is because I think it'd be cool to have some progress bar, or even better for authors, have a verbose booting log, instead of the game just freezing up. If the game refuses to load, I don't just have to see one main error preventing it from loading; I can probably get a better idea of anything else that would cause conflict (such as missing files, files being refused to load for w/e reason, "skipped" files, etc.)
Unless there's a better way to go about this (or better way already done)

It's not actually LOADING anything, but building a map of the filesystem to determine where to go to load things when it needs to. I do have a planned feature to cache this map, so that downloaded games that aren't being worked on will load faster. This is something I mainly had to add to the android version because all of the file checks were slowing the actual gameplay down quite a bit.
Yeah, bug if you can't see the loading text. Which system?
Your best bet for debugging stuff are the log files stored in the PyWright directory. They are really cluttered with junk right now that's not that helpful, but show most things and every error that happens during a run. Do you have a game that's refusing to load?

-Did you implement this partial loading indicator on the newest engine version? I'm on .987 currently, and while there is a pause/delay (it is very short, but just noticeable enough to note), I don't see any loading indicators anywhere. Windows 7 64-bit (and using Py .987).
-Alrighty, good to know!
-Oh yeah, I always forget about that xP. Yeah the log file will do exactly what I needed then. And nah, I don't have a game (anymore), but when I was testing some small scripts when attempting my AAO case's port awhile ago, I always ran into an error that prevented the demo from loading (an error that showed me the culprit causing the problem at line x in that pop-up window on the screen). I basically had to guess through trial and error how to fix the coding, due to the debug error not giving specific details on WHY there was an error at line x.
For other authors, the better the debugging, the less time is needed to track down an annoying gamebreaking bug you know? Still, the log file can compensate (maybe you can provide debugging "levels", like one for developers like yourself, another for authors? It should satisfy the problem you say about junk data?)

The log file is mostly a case of me cleaning it up, but in the case you outline, that's always going to be an issue. Having a helpful error message involves knowing that the error is going to show up beforehand. We can always go in and detect more wrightscript errors (it's certainly not as helpful as it should be) - but in the end of the day, it will still be possible for someone to introduce an error that we never thought of before. The best we can do in that case is... show them roughly where the error is.

I saved my game during a scene so that I could view multiple branches of dialogue. There was music playing from an earlier section. The first time, the coding used "music_fade_out," which worked as intended. However, upon reloading, the game was still treating the music as if it had faded out, even though the save file was from before that part.

Did you give it another try? You may have something wrong with your network and it's not downloading the whole thing; or there may be an issue with your zip program.

I just extract files. I don't know what you mean by unzipping files. All I know is the file is turning out 760 KB. :( This has never happend before...Most files download just fine...

What version of OSX is that? I only have a really old macbook to test on unfortunately.

The android version of PyWright actually uses a version of python that the renpy developer put together, so there is a bit of overlap. I think at one time someone had tried to make a phoenix wright mode for renpy as well. It does seem like a no brainer huh?
The story of the creation of PyWright is really simple. I was addicted to Phoenix Wright, had just finished Trials and Tribulations, and was sad that there were no more stories in that world to look forward to. I was stuck in a 10 hour car ride with my family after Christmas vacation armed with a laptop equipped with the only programming language I've ever been very good at, python. I thought, why don't I see if I can make my own stories in this world? I cobbled together some basic display and started thinking how I could model the logic, and well, there you go. I never really intended to make an engine that other people could use, but once I released it to see what people thought about it, my perspective was forever changed.
I think I would have approached things differently if I had set out to make an engine, although I still don't think I would have chosen renpy as a base. I really like building things, and sometimes it's more difficult for me to try and fit what I am building in with someone elses way of doing things; than to try and build it myself.
Sorry for the long delay on the next release. I need to get better at scheduling. I am going to review my tasks next weekend for a tentative release mid-july.

Is it possible to arrange a sprite so that the "blink" animation does not pause, and instead loops constantly and fluidly? I believe the default sets it so that it will wait a few seconds between blinks.
In a case I'm making, I have a character who, in one of his animations, waves his arms up and down frantically, rather than blinking his eyes. However, he pauses after each motion for a few seconds, which breaks up the animation and leaves the blur lines on the screen. Is there some way I can do it so that he never pauses?

Try adding "blinkmode loop" to the .txt file for the sprite.

Neither will work on nds, as you have to code things very specifically for nds. There was an nds casemaker at some point if you want to search the forums for it, I don't remember how complete it was. How are you planning to develop your thesis? Good luck on it!

I had hoped to put out something this month but something came up. Maybe next month, it depends on how my schedule works out. All I need are a couple solid days with nothing else going on to push the last bit, but it hasn't happened.

I'm not aware of the issue, can you describe what's going on
This bug occurs whenever penalty exceeds the amount of healthbar left.
Example: Let's assume that the ''default'' penalty in our game is set to 20% of lifebar.
During the trial, the player screwed up four times and now the protagonist has only 20% of healthbar left. It's the final cross-examination and the prosecution proposes to increase the severity of penalty to 50%. In that case, 50% of whole 80px-wide healthbar flashes and thus goes beyond the frame.
I hope I explained it well. I noticed this bug in several fancases made by different authors, so it's an engine issue rather than bad coding (maybe I'm wrong here).

So for example, if the final CE is worth 100% penalty (Luke Atmey, lol), and the player's HP is at 40%, then the threat has to equal 40% and the cost equal to -40%.
