1) open terminal. (Mac)
2) run: nano ~/Desktop/YourAfflictionLesterDiaz.app/Contents/Resources/autorun/renpy/display/presplash.py
(You should see the file text and, at the bottom, the nano menu like: ^G Get Help ^O WriteOut ^W Where is ^X Exit.)
3) press Control W.
( At the bottom it will say something like: Search:)
4) run: def start(
then press enter.
5) under the line def start(basedir, gamedir):
add return
PS: This is the correct code should look like:
def start(basedir, gamedir):
"""
Called to display the presplash when necessary.
"""
return # <-- ADD THIS LINE (four space before the word)
if "RENPY_LESS_UPDATES" in os.environ:
return
foreground_fn = find_file("presplash_foreground", root=gamedir)
6) save the file: Control + O
At the bottom, nano will show: File Name to Write: presplash.py
Press Enter to save the file.
7) Exit nano: Control + X
8) Delete the cached bytecode so Ren’Py uses your edited file:
run: rm -f ~/Desktop/YourAfflictionLesterDiaz.app/Contents/Resources/autorun/renpy/display/__pycache__/presplash.cpython-312.pyc
9) launch the game
cd ~/Desktop/YourAfflictionLesterDiaz.app/Contents/MacOS && ./YourAfflictionLesterDiaz
