[solved] Imagemap with fade?

[Joey]

This is such a noobish question but I can't find the answer (if I missed it, I'm sorry! U_U) anywhere ;A;

How do you show an imagemap with a Fade transition? The only thing I could think of was appending "with Fade" at the end of the imagemap thing, but it didn't work >>; The transition from scene to map looks very jarring otherwise because I'm not using a button to bring up the map.

Code: Select all

label map_location1:
    $ location1 = renpy.imagemap("interface/map_0_nml.png", "interface/map_0_hov.png", [
                           (787, 45, 955, 158, "okujo"),
                           (72, 158, 304, 273, "ongakushitsu"),
                           (304, 158, 512, 273, "1nenkyo"),
                           (214, 273, 411, 414, "2nenkyo"),
                           (697, 273, 886, 414, "toire"),
                           (72, 414, 286, 581, "3nenkyo"),
                           (697, 414, 955, 581, "shokuin"),
                           (364, 581, 586, 699, "hoken"),
                           (697, 581, 955, 699, "getabako")
                          ])
    if location1 == "3nenkyo":
        jump a_3nenkyo
    if location1 == "hoken":
        jump a_hoken
    if location1 == "2nenkyo", "1nenkyo", "ongakushitsu":
        jump a_other

Many thanks in advance!

I'm under the impression it's not possible to show an imagemap with a transition. (I could be wrong. ^^; )

What I do, and have also seen other people doing too, is to have an image that's exactly like your imagemap, and load that as a scene with that transition, immediately before the imagemap.

The result will be that it will trick the player's eye into thinking the imagemap loaded with a transition, since immediately after the image is displayed it will show the imagemap instead, and they're identical so it will be seamless.
As a result, it looks much prettier overall than just having an imagemap showing up with no transition.

Thanks a bunch, the trick looks great! x)

It's a little troublesome, but I guess my problem is solved~~ B)
