Need help here... I think I hit another Brick Wall.

#1 Post by mugenjohncel »

First and foremost... Sorry about my english

I have a problem here and I need help... please.

Is there a way to change the line spacing and Alignment on the main menu of Ren'py?... the one with "Start Game", "Options", "Quit" Etc...

I wanted to widen the spacing between each line and align all of them to the right.

And another question...

Is it possible to have a looping animated BG behind the Main Menu?

If it is, could anyone provide me working example... I really wanted to make animated BG on the main menu.

Thanks in Advance :)

I should point out that the right place to ask Ren'Py specific questions is the Ren'Py board, not the Game Maker's Corner.

Yes. Try something like:

Code: Select all

init:
    $ style.mm_menu_window_vbox.box_spacing = 10
    $ style.mm_button.xpos = 1.0
    $ style.mm_button.xanchor = 1.0
Is it possible to have a looping animated BG behind the Main Menu?
Yes, you can assign an Animation to style.mm_menu_window.background to accomplish this, as long as the animation is relatively small. (Say, 3-4 frames.)

I don't recommend using a mpeg movie as the background to the main menu, as the compositing would overly tax peoples' computers.
