[SOLVED]Where to place the Scrolling Load/Save Screen coding

[Colby Alighieri]

Unfortunately, I'm still a n0ob. Please bear with me... >.<



I want to achieve something like this. I need to know the basic layouts first so that I could imagemap and mess around with it later. (Urgh... No doubt I'll ask for help some time later...)

So I've been to the Cookbook to know the coding of a vertical version of a Save/Load screen. It's here..

But I don't understand where to put the coding! Where should the coding go for this? In options.rpy, screens.rpy or script.rpy? If it's in the screens.rpy, how much of the Save/Load Screens coding should I remove or add?

To use this layout you need to add next lines to your script

Code: Select all

init-2:
    $ layout.scrolling_load_save()

Also, you need to disable save and load screens (delete or comment code) or just rename them

Code: Select all

screen my_save:
    # rest of code unchanged
screen my_load:
    # rest of code unchanged

I followed the instructions and the code works for my other projects, except for the one I'm working on!

I get this error.

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '1-1'

Does the error have something to do with my other imagemapped menus and customizations? The code you gave me worked for the project without any imagemapped menus or any customization whatsoever.

You need to delete old saves. Do it manually or turn on screens and press "del' key over every not empty save slot. Then you'll get no errors with scrolling save/load.

It works now! Thanks!

But unfortunately, my navigation menu is affected. It's supposed to be an imagemap. All the other screens have the imagemapped navigation menu except for this Save/Load Screen.



Anything I need to change in the Navigation screens or in the script?

Yes, of course - http://www.renpy.org/wiki/renpy/doc/ref ... navigation and http://www.renpy.org/wiki/renpy/doc/ref ... _load_save

That did the trick for the navigation! But unfortunately, all of the navigation buttons are stuck on "ground" so I'm unable to click or go anywhere else. Again, this problem is only on the Save/Load screen.



This is my code which I copied from the Cookbook link you gave me and input the necessary coordinates.

Code: Select all

init -2 python:
layout.imagemap_navigation(
        "navi_ground.png", #ground
        "navi_idle.png", #idle
        "navi_hover.png", #hover
        "navi_selected_idle.png", #selected idle
        "navi_selected_hover.png", #selected hover
        [
            (580,361,182,28, "Return"),
            (580,427,182,31, "Save Game"),
            (580,461,182,30, "Load Game"),
            (580,392,182,31, "Preferences"),
            (580,494,182,29, "Main Menu"),
            (580,527,182,31, "Quit"),            
            ])    

Does clearing the cache solve this problem or no?

Khm, not sure, but you could try... The new (screen language) imagemap hotspots are (x, y, width, height) where x, y - coordinates of top left corner of hotspot, but old imagemap hotspots were (x1, y1, x2, y2), where x2, y2, coordinates of bottom right corner of hotspot. So, change coordinates for hotspots.

I've been following the new imagemap hotspots since I've started. I've double-checked everything in their Photoshop files (and slices) so I'm sure I followed X, Y, W, H in all of my imagemap codes.

[Alex]

Mmm, wait a bit. So you already have "Preferences" made of imagemap, don't you? And what about "Navigation" for it - do you have it? If "yes" then you don't need to make another one using layout, but if "no" and you want to make it using layout - then try to set hotspots in old style ('cause layouts are the old way of doing stuff in Ren'Py).

I don't have any other menus made of imagemaps yet (except for the Main Menu).

And just to make sure, are old style hotspots written this way: X,W,Y,H

No, old imagemap hotspots were (x1, y1, x2, y2), where x1, y1 - coordinates of top left corner and x2, y2 - coordinates of bottom right corner of hotspot.

Works like a charm now! Thanks!

I'm planning to turn the Save/Load menu into an imagemap so, just to be sure I'll be asking:
So when I'm using a layout, it only uses the old imagemap coordinates for hotspots?

[Alex]

Yes, layouts are using old style hotspot coordinates.
