In-depth ingame achievement support for Ren'Py that plugs into the Steam backend. · By
Hey! Your tool has worked like an absolute charm and has been so helpful. I was just wondering how I'd implement having separate achievement lists for separate screens (one that has only chapter one's achievements and one only having chapter two's for example). I've been trying to play around with it but I am still relatively new to Renpy and it's just one confusing rollback message after another. Would love your input if possible, thanks so much.
Hey there, glad to hear the tool has been helpful! For making your own lists - you won't be able to use the built in Achievement.all_achievements list since that includes all the achievements (it's in the achievement_gallery screen in the line for a in Achievement.all_achievements:). But you're welcome to make your own list! For example, after the achievement declarations in the example, you could do
define chapter1_achievements = [ sample_achievement, progress_achievement, set_progress_achievement ]
and then you can copy the achievement_gallery screen and replace for a in Achievement.all_achievements: with for a in chapter1_achievements: and similar. If you're screen-savvy, you can reuse the achievement_gallery screen and simply pass in the list you want to loop over as well, though copypasta works just as well if you're not familiar with those! Hope that helps ✨
Hey, I've tried to put that into action and it seems to cause some issues on the backend. I try to run it (having my defined list and then replacing Achievement.all_achievements with the defined list) but somehow that causes there to be an attribute error where it tells me that the attribute 'Toggle' isn't connected to the 'str' object but looking in the back end file I can see where it is defined and I can't immediately see why the change of name would correspond to whether or not this attribute would be defined. So yeah , way over my head 😅 I'll do some messing around but all good if there's no clear answer.
