how to script title screen image?

[shwippie]

I want to put an image on the title screen (the one with the menu on it when you first launch the game), but I'm not sure how to do it with python. Does anyone know the code for it? D: Sorry if it's a dumb question.

Can I also ask how the do the code for the menu, buttons, and text boxes? (or if you can direct me to the tutorial for that? I don't know why I'm having trouble finding it) Many thanks ><

It's not hard to set the main menu background image. Just find next lines in "options.rpy"

Code: Select all

        ## The background of the main menu. This can be a color
        ## beginning with '#', or an image filename. The latter
        ## should take up the full height and width of the screen.
        mm_root = "#D0B4BA",

and change the last line to

Code: Select all

        mm_root = "my_image_filename.png",

Be shure, that file "my_image_filename.png" is in "game" folder and named exactly the same as you'll type it (I mean "My_file.png" is not the same as "my_File.png", also check the file extension "my_file.png" is not the same as "my_file.jpg").
About other stuff you can read http://www.renpy.org/wiki/renpy/doc/ref ... nce_Manual, and http://www.renpy.org/wiki/renpy/FAQ, and http://www.renpy.org/wiki/renpy/doc/tutorials/Tutorials.
It would be better if you'll post more specific questions about menus, buttons, etc. - I belive, someone will answer them.

A really excellent tutorial on how to completely customize your main, options and save/load screens is this one:

If you haven't coded before, it's a little overwhelming to look at. I have minimal experience, and about 99% of my code right now has been trial and error (and all I'm working on is the main screen ).

however, now there is a better way to find the hotspot.

Soliloquy, don't follow the wiki, it is outdated. Stick with the new documentation.

Also, go to the cookbook thread and look up more current tutorials, such as:

Thanks, trooper and firecat. I'll have to take a gander at those in the morning. ^^
