Ren'Py hpunch / vpunch

[AllNatural939]

I've looked everywhere and found nothing, I've been searching for a solution for months and can't find it... so I'm turning to my last resort.
If no one here knows, I’ll have no choice but to kill myself...
Does anyone here know how the hell to avoid white edges during a vpunch or hpunch in Ren'Py without having to modify an image to make it larger than normal?

add a black layer behind it

another option: since it's the checkerboard transparency image (renpy/common/_transparent_tile.png) you see at the edge, you could replace that image with a black one. but being able to see the checkerboard image can be useful, so might not be a good idea

I FUCKING LOVE YOU !!!!

It was so easy that now I feel sorry for myself... as simple as adding a bigger black image and using truecenter... works like a charm.

It was probably less of an issue than you thought.

When in developer mode (ie, normally when using the SDK), RenPy uses a transparent (practically white) checkerboard as the background. That's probably what you were seeing.

When the game is deployed (using [BUILD] from the SDK), that behavior changes. Instead a black background is used.
The only time an actual player would see the checkboard would be if they switched developer mode back on.

damn, i thought about that but when i tested my build, the checkerboard was still seen. i didn't realize that my renpy files - which has dev mode enabled - transfers to the build.
