[Night Hacker]

Thanks, but it affects only some text, the rest still the same.

I created my own mod which I add to most games that need it. I worked on making certain it doesn't alter the game at all. As I need things, I program t hem in myself and add to this. I made it in modules so I can easily get rid of any feature I don't need or doesn't work by deleting it as none of the files rely upon the others.

I honestly just made this for my own use, but I created a zip up with a readme inside of explaining what each file does etc... I'll attach the entire mod for anyone interested (there's an RPY for getting rid of the text box as well in this)...

Wow, yeah, I see what you mean. Yeah, I run across the odd game like that. It's rare though. As I said, I made that for my own use and I modify it as I go.

For a game like this, where it doesn't work, I would generally extract all the scripts (.rpy files) and I would examine the code in them and find the offending code that does that and directly reprogram it.

My "developer.rpy" file in my larger mod I posted has some code which will show you which line that text appears on, in which file etc... and then you can look at it and try and determine how he codes it (if you're able to do that anyhow). Never played that myself.

Any idea what to do with games that define who_outlines / what_outlines in the character definition?
It appears to be impossible to override without unpacking the game and manually removing it.

Cool. I already modified it and added it to my default mod.
Seems to work very well.

The Mod is useless in "The Cabin" game. No effect at all. Still the fucking opaque textbox, there.

The Mod is useless in "The Cabin" game. No effect at all. Still the fucking opaque textbox, there.

I wrote my own mod for use with games I play to remove that and enhance it in other ways. I just tested it with "the cabin" and it works just fine for getting rid of the text box, plus it adds an outline to the text to make it easier to read and it adds a few other things.

My mod isn't specifically for that, or any other game. Just some additional features I personally like in most games so I made this for my own use. I have added a readme text file to this 7zip which explains what all the files in it does. None of the files relies upon anything else, so if you don't want the features in one of the RPY files included, just delete it, or comment out (# sign before a line) something within the file to disable that line of code. Anyhow, I'll attach it if you're interested. It does work.

If all you want is transparent text boxed, than just the "transparent textbox.rpy" and "outlines.rpy" will be enough.

Any way to make this work with Waifu Academy?

I'm trying to create a script to increase and decrease the opacity of the textbox but in the game there is no effect... if you or someone else can help me I would be grateful.

Main features:

• universal = works in most Ren'Py games
• easy to add = extract to the root folder of the game*
• easy to remove = two files to delete (y_outline.rpy and y_outline.rpyc) in the subfolder named "game"

* where the executable file of the game is

Known problems:

A temporary solution for the incompatibility problem implemented in v2.4.10
A permanent solution found for the hidden/inactive/missing quick menu problem and implemented in v2.6. Just hit Alt+m in case quick menu is hidden and it should appear. In case it doesn't, please let me know about it.

1. Incompatibility of the patch v2.4.7 and newer with older versions of Ren'Py (older than v6.99.14).
   What does it mean?
   If the game is made with a Ren'Py SDK older than v6.99.14, the game will crash with the transparency patch v2.4.7 and newer.
   What is the solution to the problem?
   In case after adding my patch to the game the game will crash with an error message:
   File "game/y_outline.rpy", line 157: u'pagekeys' is not a keyword argument or valid child for the viewport statement.
   Then you can use the

2. In case quick menu is hidden in some games and after applying transparency patch v2.5 v2.6 or newer it won't appear when you hit (repeatedly) Alt+Shift+M Alt+m, you may have to save the game once and then load that save. This should activate quick menu.
   set
   $ suppress_overlay = False
   $ quick_menu = True
   manually via console. Starting a new game sometimes also works.

The boring stuff:

Some time ago I made a patch for myself to remove the dialog box background from Ren'Py games and a little later thought that some users here may like it, too. So I posted it in one of the game threads first, then added a link to my sig, but I didn't think that it would deserve a separate thread here.

Now I created this thread only to make getting feedback from users easier. Especially because I started to add game-specific overrides to my patch now and I'd like to keep it all in one place.

One important request:

Please, let me know about the games where my patch isn't working or creates problems and I'll try to take a look at them and find a way to fix it.

TL/DR: (read when you're stuck or have questions)

This is the important part of the current README file of my patch:

Added a for restoring Ren'Py keymap in games where it's been partially disabled or messed up. It was made specifically for the Chasing Sunsets game, but works as well for other Ren'Py games.
