Re: Sound Effect on imagemap rollover/return?

Bah. Figured it out...just wasn't typing correctly. Thank you! :)

Now for the override when I want to change sounds, where do I put the code?

Re: Sound Effect on imagemap rollover/return?

Thank you for your help. I've tried placing the code in various places in the init block, but nothing's working. Here's the code I'm working with: screen demo_imagemap: imagemap: auto "imagemap_%s.jpg" hotspot (8, 200, 78, 78) action Return("notes") hotspot (204, 50, 78, 78) action Return("games") h...

Sound Effect on imagemap rollover/return?

I'm working on a user interactive imagemap (choose to go home, swimming, school, art, etc). I am wanting to play a soft sound effect when the user rolls their mouse over each hotspot, as well as playing a different sound when they click the hotspot. I figure for the 'click' sound effect, I can just ...

Video File As Main Menu Background

I was planning on spending my morning attempting to code something like this, but search is turning up nothing. How would you all suggest loading a loopable video file as the main menu background? Is it possible to do with Renpy?

Multiple Main Menu Backgrounds?

Is there a way to change the main menu's background image according to how far along a player may have reached in the game? (For example, have a different background for each chapter of the game...the main menu's background is updated depending on the user's progress throughout the visual novel.)

Re: Need help regarding text and video.

Sorry to dig this up again, but the code you gave me indeed removes the text box, but it comes back during the name entry screen. I cannot find code in the reference material of how to disable it during a name entry.

Re: Need help regarding text and video.

That works magnificently! Thank you. Is there a way to turn off the translucent grayish background of the text box?

Re: Need help regarding text and video.

Bah. After an eternity of searching my script to see what the problem was, I finally just cleared everything out and started from scratch, and it finally worked. Must have had some wonky anomaly that I couldn't see or diagnose. Works now, though! Thanks! ...And the pause script works perfectly as we...

Need help regarding text and video.

I've been noodling around in the script editor trying to figure this out, but I can't quite crack it. I have a video file about 2 minutes long I want to play to start a scene. About 15 seconds into the video, I would like a text box to pop up on screen and prompt the player to enter their name. (Edi...

Re: Implementing Chess PyGame into Visual Novel...

*cue whoosh of it all going over my head* So you would suggest coding the entire system myself? :\ Sounds like too big of a task for me to handle by myself, given the limited experience in coding that I have. I suppose I could just use some 'creative liberties' and do the entire sequence of the ches...

Re: Implementing Chess PyGame into Visual Novel...

Ah...so I'm not the only one with a problem...perhaps it is simply that the pygame is not coded properly for renpy integration? Maybe I can hunt around for another chess simulator that will work.

Implementing Chess PyGame into Visual Novel...

I've been using RenPy for about a month and a half or so, and I've been trying to learn more about implementing pygame into my novel...and to be honest, I'm totally lost. I've been wanting to include a simple scene where the player is challenged by a character to a game of chess. The match is played...
