Opengl mode might make it faster, although it depends on your video card and how much I optomize it. At first, it will not be heavily optomized, so it might be a bit sporadic, with some parts running faster, and some parts slower.
Use "char" instead of portrait. Portrait is kind of deprecated. (Nice of me to mention that before eh?)
All of the evidence I use in tests comes from court-records. I figured it is easy enough to look through there to find evidence you want to use that making a separate download for that would be overkill. Also, I include most of the basic sounds (also all gotten from court-records) in the original download, so I wouldn't know what to put on the download service in regards to sound effects. If someone made a more complete sound effect pack for me, I could put it up there.
Content wise, I haven't gone any further than what is provided by this website, and I guess in some areas it is lacking a bit. I would need a lot of help to sort this mess out.
For music, midi would be cool, but I don't plan on it for the near future. I think midi sounds bad, ogg is as good as mp3 with roughly the same size, I figured most casemakers will want to provide their own music anyway. Adding support would take away from other things I need to do. Source code is available if someone feels like scratching that itch of course.
Thank you. I will be taking your comments into consideration as I finish up the next release.

I was testing my first cross-examination, and pressed every letter of the keyboard because I was too lazy to search for the "azerty" equivalent of z. When I pressed p (we're still talking about an "azerty" keyboard) I got an error message. But when I tried to reopen PyWright, I got another error message:
Code:

Because of that I can't use the program at all, so I hope someone can find a quick solution... Thank you very much!

Maybe I should just redownload PyWright, but I'm sure there's something else I can do, besides another version is expected to be released soon.

By the way, you can go to a multi-word label with li but not with goto.

And there is more bad news, I am too busy to get beta 10 out at this time. It will have to wait another week. I'll put out a 9.5 very late tonight that hopefully will fix problems on soundless computers and make sure to keep opengl mode far far away. There may be some of the other minor fixes which were planned for beta 10 as well.
You should be able to go to a multi-word label if you use underscores instead of spaces:
Code:
list
li this is a test
showlist
label try again
"It worked"
exit
label this is a test
goto try_again
"it failed"
li this is a test
showlist
label try again
"It worked"
exit
label this is a test
goto try_again
"it failed"
Another solution is to use underscores in the label itself:
Code:
list
li this also works
showlist
label this_also_works
"infinite loop!"
goto this_also_works
li this also works
showlist
label this_also_works
"infinite loop!"
goto this_also_works

Everything works now. I'm especially pleased with the way cross-examinations are handled.
The only problem is, if you ask the player to "present" after pressing a statement (it happens often, think of the "there's nothing strange" "there's something strange" pattern for instance) it jumps to the label "none" (--> penalty whatever the choice is) instead of showing the court record.

Your right ping that is a problem. It's possible that it may work if you put the second present in another script and call it from the first one, like so:
First script:
Code:
...
label press 4
"Hmm, what about THIS piece of evidence?"
char judge
"What piece of evidence?"
script newevi stack
is success 1
goto finish
char judge
"I'm sorry, that doesn't fit the bill."
goto start_of_cross_exam
label finish
char judge
"Wow, that solves it!"
label press 4
"Hmm, what about THIS piece of evidence?"
char judge
"What piece of evidence?"
script newevi stack
is success 1
goto finish
char judge
"I'm sorry, that doesn't fit the bill."
goto start_of_cross_exam
label finish
char judge
"Wow, that solves it!"
Second script (newevi.txt):
Code:
present
label right_evidence
set success 1
"This is the correct item"
goto back
label none
"This is wrong!"
set success 0
label back
label right_evidence
set success 1
"This is the correct item"
goto back
label none
"This is wrong!"
set success 0
label back
But I don't have time to test it. I'll try to think of another better solution for b10.

The doc file incorrectly says what the format for li is (saying that you put both a name and label name).
What is the resolution config screen?
I think to properly recreate the games the text boxes need to be taller.
It might just be me, but it looks like because of the new spaces above and below text, the "Evidence" text is too far down.

You are correct about the doc. Li will treat the whole text like the label to jump to.
Yes, spaces and underscores are interchangeable regarding labels. I think the goto issue is more of a bug than a feature. There are cases where spaces in the label name wouldn't make sense though.
Yeah evidence text is messed up - it doesn't even say profiles when it should. Will look into it.

- When clicking on a textbox in cross-examination, it presses the statement instead of showing the next one.
- Text handling has changed... yet again. My fangame has 19 scenes, and I don't want to review the whole thing to see if you can still read everything properly. Besides, text is crucial in cross-examination statements. I now have to change sentences completely to make it work. Perhaps I'm the only one, but I'd like it to go back to where it was at the beginning... the creator had to deal with everything himself, and if a line was too long, you just couldn't see the end of it.
I do like the full screen mode, though.
Thanks for everything saluk!

Ping: Thanks for being a beta tester! Don't rewrite to fit my rendering engine, tell me what's wrong (like ya did) and I'll make it as configurable as possible. You guys should have all the control for text rendering.

MrCheeze: You forgot to break the line with {n} after "just". Besides that, the second screenshot actually looks much better ^^
saluk: Your solution for the "asking player to present after pressing a statement" problem didn't work. But mine didn't work either.
I'll explain.
-- What I Want To Do --
I) the player presses the statement
II) is there something strange with it? --> II.A) there's nothing II.B) there's something
II.A) go back to cross-examination
II.B) --> III)
III) what does it contradict? --> III.A) the evidence III.B) your testimony III.C) nothing
III.A) [wrong choice] present something from the court record --> penalty1 [whatever it is]--> go back to cross-examination
III.B) [right choice] leads to the next testimony
III.C) [wrong choice] penalty2 --> go back to cross-examination
-- How To Do It --
First, in the testimony script (we'll call it "testimony1"):
Code:
label press statement4
// insert generic text here. That's step I). But if we continue to step II) in the same script, it won't work, so we have to create another script, "testimony1somethingstrange" with "stack" in order to make II.A), III.A) and III.C) possible. The result being... //
script testimony1somethingstrange stack
// insert generic text here. That's step I). But if we continue to step II) in the same script, it won't work, so we have to create another script, "testimony1somethingstrange" with "stack" in order to make II.A), III.A) and III.C) possible. The result being... //
script testimony1somethingstrange stack
Then, in "testimony1somethingstrange":
Code:
set _list_back_button false
// to make back impossible //
list
li There's nothing strange
li There's something...
showlist
label There's nothing strange
// insert generic text here. Because of "stack", "testimony1" will resume at the end of "testimony1somethingstrange". But since we're not at the end of the script yet, we have to create a "label endscript" in order to make this work. Thus... //
goto endscript
label There's something...
// step II.B). If we continue to step III) in the same script, it won't work, so we have to create yet another script, "testimony1whatitcontradicts" with "stack" in order to make III.A) and III.C) possible. The result being... //
script testimony1whatitcontradicts stack
label endscript
// to make back impossible //
list
li There's nothing strange
li There's something...
showlist
label There's nothing strange
// insert generic text here. Because of "stack", "testimony1" will resume at the end of "testimony1somethingstrange". But since we're not at the end of the script yet, we have to create a "label endscript" in order to make this work. Thus... //
goto endscript
label There's something...
// step II.B). If we continue to step III) in the same script, it won't work, so we have to create yet another script, "testimony1whatitcontradicts" with "stack" in order to make III.A) and III.C) possible. The result being... //
script testimony1whatitcontradicts stack
label endscript
Finally, in "testimony1whatitcontradicts":
Code:
list
li The evidence
li Your testimony
li Nothing
showlist
label The evidence
present
// to show the court record. Back shouldn't be an option, by the way. But there's a much bigger issue with this "present"... here's the problem:
* to get out of this script, you need "endscript" to be placed at the end of the script, obviously
* in order for "present" to work, you need a "label none"
* "label none" needs to be placed at the end of the script, or it won't work.
...Even Winston Payne would notice the contradiction here. I honestly don't know what to do next. Let me put it another way: I fought PyWright, and PyWright won ^^ //
label Your testimony
// text, then move on to the next testimony. No problem here... //
goto testimony2
label nothing
// text, then penalty, then go back to cross-examination. Needs another "endscript" as well as a "gameover" script... //
penalty -25
is penalty 0 gameover
goto endscript
label gameover
exit
label endscript
li The evidence
li Your testimony
li Nothing
showlist
label The evidence
present
// to show the court record. Back shouldn't be an option, by the way. But there's a much bigger issue with this "present"... here's the problem:
* to get out of this script, you need "endscript" to be placed at the end of the script, obviously
* in order for "present" to work, you need a "label none"
* "label none" needs to be placed at the end of the script, or it won't work.
...Even Winston Payne would notice the contradiction here. I honestly don't know what to do next. Let me put it another way: I fought PyWright, and PyWright won ^^ //
label Your testimony
// text, then move on to the next testimony. No problem here... //
goto testimony2
label nothing
// text, then penalty, then go back to cross-examination. Needs another "endscript" as well as a "gameover" script... //
penalty -25
is penalty 0 gameover
goto endscript
label gameover
exit
label endscript
This could be solved easily in the next version, but I don't see any solution in this one.
Anyway, good luck XD

I wasn't talking about the line break or higher image quality - there's the nametag, the badly-colored blue text, the wrong size, the arrow in the wrong place, and the second quotation mark. That cut-off is kinda early though.
And yes I do like complaining.

The presenting problem has to do with the fact that there is one variable that keeps track of where you are in current cross examination, and present uses that variable to determine what results to go to etc. To fix it is going to need some overhaul of the way cross examinations work I think. I may be able to just layer the variables and keep the same interface, or it might be possible to simplify the interface altogether. It will take some thought.
Sorry again for the delay, I have been quite busy. It won't get much better either as school is starting soon, but I am still working on it. I am very close with opengl mode, but these new problems that are surfacing are only going to make it take longer. I really am looking forward to pywright being a lot more polished and usable and a lot less like a sack of bugs.
If you have 9.2 or higher, you should be able to download all updates from updater.exe/updater.py. So there hasn't been a link for 9.5. Beta 10 will require a new full download for windows if you want the opengl mode though.

Sorry it took me so long to catch on to you guys! XD;; I'm here to ask if you'd like PyWright to have a section in CR's new case maker section on the main site. If so, all I need is a brief description, links of where to get it, and some kind of example screenshot if you want. I'm gonna put up Ping's case but it doesn't make much sense to do so without having a bit about the maker it was created with!
Lemme know~

Then of course is the label none issue, what I would do is instead of running another script and making things complicated, just jump to a label before the "present" line which is after the label none from cross exam.
Code:
addev photo
label mycross
cross mycross
statement statement1
"I'm innocent, don't hurt me!"
label nextcross
endcross
label First
"Hmm..."
goto mycross
label press statement1
"Show me your proof!"
goto showit
//the none referring to regular cross exam
label none
"I'm sorry, that is a penalty."
resume
label showit
present
goto none
label photo
"That's correct!"
exit
label none
"oops."
goto mycross
label mycross
cross mycross
statement statement1
"I'm innocent, don't hurt me!"
label nextcross
endcross
label First
"Hmm..."
goto mycross
label press statement1
"Show me your proof!"
goto showit
//the none referring to regular cross exam
label none
"I'm sorry, that is a penalty."
resume
label showit
present
goto none
label photo
"That's correct!"
exit
label none
"oops."
goto mycross
And no, label none does not have to be at the end of a script. How it works exactly is this: Any time a goto happens from the interface, it will look for the matching label. If it runs into a "label none", it will assume that no matching label exists and stops there. So in any logical section, label none should be last, because it won't search past that. However, if you use a goto command, it will actually scan the whole file, allowing you to jump anywhere, and not worry about "label none". So you can always have many sections in one file. The goto command will NEVER go to a label none - if the proper label is not found it will act as if the goto was a comment and continue on the next line.
I am considering making all sections have required names, and all label none's required to name their section, to eliminate some of this confusion. Let me know if you think this is a good idea. I may fix it another way, but I can't think of many good solutions to layered none's. Except for maybe adding some kind of scope system, but that seems a bit complex for this. Anyway, I am simplifying cross examination as much as I can.
There DOES appear to be a bug with "present", if you have the first label directly after it, it will skip over it. I will certainly be looking into that and the other issues over the next days. Hopefully it can all get sorted out.
If it still doesn't work Ping, I could fiddle with your scripts if you send them to me to try and get them to work correctly, either with 9.5, or with 10 maybe using them as a guide to make sure things are fixed in 10. It would be very helpful. Just the script for the trial that you are working on, I dont need graphics or anything else.

That is not an option for me because I get a similar error when running the updater.

ξdgεε: sorry, I was unaware the updater wasn't working. However, "similar" error doesn't mean "same" error. I'd like to see the error to be clear what's going on. And if you haven't updated your folder since 9.2 with the full download, the updater was broken. The full download should fix it, if that is what's going on. If you have a special case I may have to make some test versions just for you to track down the issue. So post me your updater.exe.log and pywright.exe.log files please. I'll fix the problem asap as soon as I know what it is.
Beta 10 progress is getting close, but I want to make sure to lessen the amount of bugs this time before releasing it; and make sure I have good solutions to the existing issues, that won't break old code but will make things work right, and simplify some things as well. It's not just the new rendering system, although that is a big part of it, and is still missing a lot of pieces. Without changing resolution, the new renderer displays characters and prints text decently, but for some reason timing is way off. I just reworked the evidence menu for the new renderer and it seems to mostly be in order. I need to fix the resolutions though, and some situations make the new renderer run extremely slow.
The old renderer will still be supported, but this makes things a bit tricky because I have to make code that works either way. It's a challenge :) I'm really pushing to get it out this week though.

Absolutely love it! Thanks a bundle.
PyWright news:
Multiple character support is in, and cross examination is quite simplified. I'm going to be adding a few more things, such as running macros inside of text, as well as slightly better macro support. Also coming are fixes for kristoph to be displayed in the right spot (as well as making it possible to use other sprites with different sized frames). The opengl mode is mostly finished, but not optomized. Left unchecked, it can use up gigabytes of memory, which isn't so good. Also, certain situations actually are slower to run accelerated than in software, due to heavy texture usage. Finally, I need to support non-power of 2 textures. After that beta 10 will be pretty much ready to release, although I will also want to make some final passes on cleaning up scripting as much as possible and adding some more on the tool end of things.
Oh, dual screens will either be in beta 10 or whatever release comes after that. It depends on how much it would delay beta 10's release to add it.

I also have just added support for dual screen mode. This is at an even earlier state than opengl, but basically you can choose a screen for any object and it will show up there. At this stage, the choice of dual or single screen is left up to the players, and not built into a case. I.E, you may design your game for dual screens, but be aware that someone (like me) may run it with only one screen. I don't see this choice really affecting the content of cases. For instance, a text menu will continue to show the character on the top screen. However, if you rely on dual screens by designing a gui and placing a button on the second screen, single screen users will either not be able to see the button, or the button will be FORCED to be on the top screen and could cover up other stuff you placed there. Basically, don't rely on the player having to deal with both screens at once, and it will be fine.
Although I could have a variable you set at the beginning of your game which forces dual screen mode, if it turns out to be a problem. I would much rather leave this up to the user though, unless your case is extremely experimental and absolutely needs 2 screens.
And yes, there will be a few more "gui" commands in beta 10, allowing the beginnings of an ability to construct your own special interfaces for things. Really complex things like fingerprints etc are still probably not possible from wrightscript, but eventually I would like it to be so. After beta 10 I will look into things like this.
I think I can release it in the next few days or the weekend at the latest! Most likely Saturday. There are almost too many new things to count. It won't break compatibility I don't think, except possibly cross examination, which was a bit too tricky anyway.

That's the error log I get when I try to run the 9.4 updater.

Notable features:
- hardware rendering for smoother framerate, especially in scaled modes
- true 3d objects
- multiple characters on screen
- scrollable examine scenes
- simpler cross examination
- Hopefully fix ξdgεε's problem
Links:
EXE: http://pywright.dawnsoft.org/PyWright_beta10.zip
SRC: http://pywright.dawnsoft.org/PyWrightSrc_beta10.zip
The filesize for the exe version has increased, due to the 3d library. The src version has an extra dependancy of pyopengl (the 3d lib) although if not present, it will still run with software rendering.
As always let me know what works, what doesn't work, what bugs exist in the game, and what things just bug you :)
Enjoy!

It's a shame, because this looks like an awesome program and I'd love to use it. What exactly do I have to do with the three extra programs after I download them? Is there a specific place on my computer?

Can't tell what's happening here. The movie player is in the zip file, I just double checked that. But I also get that error in my beta10 extract directory (not in my dev directory), so it should not take too long to narrow down the problem.

Thank you for the report. Most likely in a real game you will have at least one thing in evidence; but I should probably fix this anyway.

I think this is the dreaded non-square texture size problem. I'll try and have a solution soon.
To Nuxill - I have no experience on installing the dependancies on a mac. Page 4 of this discussion however did result in one person (Miss Prince) getting things to work on a mac.
1. Make sure you have python2.5 installed
http://pythonmac.org/packages/py25-fat/ ... macosx.dmg
2. Install Pil
http://pythonmac.org/packages/py25-fat/ ... -05-18.dmg
3. Install PyObjC
http://www.pygame.org/ftp/pyobjc-1.4-py ... 4.mpkg.zip
4. Install pygame
http://www.pygame.org/ftp/pygame-1.8.1r ... sx10.5.zip
5. Run pywright/updater.py (at this point it should just work)
Click on download games.
Select beta10 and test, and click download.
Run pywright.py
Choose one of the test games and test cases.
Now that I have access to mac's at school, I can work at getting a decent mac installer going, but it will take some time. Until then, hopefully the above links can be helpful.
