[SOLVED] Snowblossom plus imagemap on main menu using 6.12

[World]

Hello, I seem to have royally confused the code of my game.

I started out making my game with an old version of Renpy with a different way of making screens and imagemaps. I decided to move everything over to stay updated (but mostly because I wanted a music room), and now I'm running into some problems getting used to the new ways of doing things...

First of all, my main menu has both an imagemap and snowblossom. With the new "Renpy screens" using the preset buttons, it obviously worked fine. But when I tried to use an imagemap like so:

Code: Select all

        hotspot (652, 318, 787, 365)action Start()
        hotspot (652, 368, 787, 421) action ShowMenu('load')
        hotspot (652, 426, 799, 514) action ShowMenu('preferences')
        hotspot (636, 472, 540, 353) action Help()
        hotspot (652, 516, 789, 553) action ShowMenu("music_room")
        hotspot (672, 559, 770, 594) action Quit(confirm=False) 

The imagemap worked great, but Snowblossom would no longer work.

I then tried to make parts of my imagemap transparent, but I couldn't get that to work either. It just showed the ground-level buttons with no menu picture in the background.

Finally, I checked this thread: http://lemmasoft.renai.us/forums/viewto ... f=4&t=4677 And did this:

Code: Select all

        mm_root = Fixed(
        Image("titlescreen.png"),
        SnowBlossom("snow3.png", count=70, xspeed=(15, 35), yspeed=(55, 75), start=10)),    layout.imagemap_main_menu("menunull.png", "menuhover.png", [
        (652, 318, 787, 365, "Start Game"),
        (652, 368, 787, 421, "Load Game"),
        (660, 423, 772, 466, "Preferences"),
        (643, 469, 798, 512, "Help"),
        (652, 516, 789, 553, "music_room"),
        (672, 559, 770, 594, "Quit"),
        ])

Imagemap and snowblossoms worked like an absolute charm! BUT... I can no longer get to my music room, the game just crashes and shuts down without a traceback, and all the Renpy help pages are centered around using the new code, not the old one.

If someone could tell me how to get snowblossoms to work, or how to get my music room imagemap function to work, that'd be swell.

Also, using this code above, no sound effect plays upon clicking the working buttons on the imagemap. If I continue to use this code, how do I give it a "clicking" sound?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is driving me crazy.

Screen-based imagemaps cover everything else on screen by default. (makes them so difficult to work with >_<)

Try defining the animation inside the imagemap, like this.

Code: Select all

imagemap:
   
  add SnowBlossom("snow3.png", count=70, xspeed=(15, 35), yspeed=(55, 75), start=10))

  #define ground/hover images and hotspots

Just the way you had it?

Code: Select all

    imagemap:
        add SnowBlossom("snow3.png", count=70, xspeed=(15, 35), yspeed=(55, 75), start=10))
        ground 'menunull.png'
        hover 'menuhover.png'
        
        hotspot (652, 318, 787, 365)action Start()
        hotspot (652, 368, 787, 421) action ShowMenu('load')
        hotspot (652, 426, 799, 514) action ShowMenu('preferences')
        hotspot (636, 472, 540, 353) action Help()
        hotspot (652, 516, 789, 553) action ShowMenu("music_room")
        hotspot (672, 559, 770, 594) action Quit(confirm=False) 

No, it won't boot. Without "add Snowblossom(etc..)" it boots, but once it's added, it doesn't boot at all with no traceback. Are you sure "add" is the right code...?

EDIT:

Wow, I'm not sure what happened, but when I added the # sign, it miraculously worked. Which confuses me and makes literally no sense, but hey. I have no idea what's going on but it does, music room and everything. That exact code. I promise it wasn't working before, but now it does, so there we go.

So... Thank you so much! I really, really appreciate it.

However, clicking noises still aren't working. Any ideas on how to fix it?

Hmm...toss this at the bottom of 'options.rpy'.

Code: Select all

style.hotspot.activate_sound = "mysound.wav"

[World]

Beautiful! Worked like a charm. Thank you so very much!

Maybe it doesn't worked before due to the DAMNED extra parenthesis at line end c_C? I say that just 'cause it's a very good resource, and do "past/copy" can mislead people . Tried with

Code: Select all

add SnowBlossom("snow3.png", count=70, xspeed=(15, 35), yspeed=(55, 75), start=10) 

and worked FINE from the start. The error was the double parenthesis after start=10. You can remove the #COMMENT safely.
