If you're having trouble or run into any bugs with the code, post a comment here! I will try to get back to you within a few days.

im sorry i feel dumb, i tried to add the button to my screens.rpy but it just says it's unexpected

No worries! Can you provide some more details? Like where you tried to put it, and what the error message is exactly?

Hi, this is working great so far, and the tool and its internal tutorial were very helpful. Thanks for making it! A few things initially confused me, which I am passing on since you might find them useful to know:

I initially misunderstood this as a tool to download in addition to Better Colorize for Ren'Py, but afaict it's an alternative, containing the same shading code, but with a code creation tool instead of code examples. I think both pages could be clearer about this.

The internal documentation assumes the user has better_colorize_examples.rpy and points the user to read that instead of your online tutorials etc, which confused me for a bit until I realised what was going on.

Developer

It's not really meant to be an alternative, though given the high number of dependencies the tool requires, I elected to package them up into one zip file to avoid users having to go to 5 different tool pages for all the dependencies (which seemed likely to bring its own set of issues).

I do appreciate the suggestion though; in particular, the tutorials weren't made at time of release so that is why they aren't linked at the moment. I'll note that for a future update!

Oh, ok! If it's not a replacement, what am I missing out on by just using this? It's been working ok for my needs so far but I'm not doing anything super fancy, and haven't tried any of the add-ons.

Developer

You shouldn't be missing out on anything in particular, though the most up-to-date version of any given tool will be on the individual tool page (e.g. Better Colorize). I try to make sure to update this page when there's a major change!

Thanks, good to know. I'm subscribed to your account, so I'll download updates to Better Colourise in the future.
