Music

[Hayzel]

Alright. How do I put music on the menu. I'm terrible at finding the right place to put it?

In the options.rpy scroll down until you find this part:

Code: Select all

   ## These settings let you change some of the sounds that are used by
    ## Ren'Py.

    ## Set this to False if the game does not have any sound effects.

    config.has_sound = True

    ## Set this to False if the game does not have any music.

    config.has_music = True
...

Usually it's around line 164. Scroll down to find this part:

Code: Select all

## Music that is played while the user is at the main menu.

    config.main_menu_music = "main.mp3"

Just put what music you want, like I've put "main.mp3" because that's what my menu music is. Make sure the music is in your game directory or it won't work xD

@Hayzel - Can I recommend you try following the guide on the renpy wiki or at least reading the #comments in your script and options? They're great hints that let you know what the commands do and so on.

First post I stated I have the hardest time finding it in the program. I looked through the Ren'py tute first. it told me how to put music in, but not on the menu. This way is faster and works better for me. I'm sorry if this thread somehow inconvenienced you in some way.

@manga Thank you so much ^.^ Especially for specifying the line ..but it didn't work T.T

Code: Select all

  ## Music that is played while the user is at the main menu.

    # config.main_menu_music = "sadSlow.mp3"

What Clannadman meant was that the comments in options.rpy tell you where to add music to the main menu, but when I was first looking to customize my game I didn't notice it either, so that's a common new Ren'py user mistake.

I'm adding this to the Ren'py questions FAQ (under "How can I customize my main menu") since we get this question a lot.

Edit: You commented out that line. Remove the hash (#)
