Anyone know how to put screens on top of each other?[SOLVED]

[Panda_nui]

I'm completely new to Renpy programming, but I've somehow managed to get most of my work done by using and searching the wiki forums haha///.
I've searched everywhere but I couldn't manage to find a solution for this problem ;v;
So my problem is that I want to have a custom yes/no prompt screen that looks something like a pop-up box, so the back of it is transparent.
when you click exit, you can still see the background image, which works in most cases

Like so:


but then, whenever I try to exit from a screen like the main menu or the save/load, this is what I get

The image just disappears...

And here's a copy of the code if it helps

Code: Select all

screen yesno_prompt:

    modal True

    imagemap:
        ground "gui/yesno_ground.png"
        hover "gui/yesno_hover.png"
        idle "gui/yesno_idle.png"
        
        hotspot (224,323,125,41) action yes_action
        hotspot (450,323,125,41) action no_action
        
        label _(message):
            text_style "yesno_prompt_text"
            xalign 0.5
            yalign 0.415
            
init -2 python:    
    style.yesno_button.size_group = "yesno"
    style.yesno_label_text.text_align = 0.5
    style.yesno_prompt_text.color = "#FF00BB"
    style.yesno_prompt_text.size = 22 

Does anybody know how to fix this? Any help will be greatly appreciated! >////<

There's two ways to solve this.

1) Set config.developer (found in options.rpy) to False.
Though the background will still change (to black, which is default color), but it's better than transparent square tiles.

2) Add

Code: Select all

window:
        style "gm_root"

to screen yesno_prompt. "gm_root" is found in options.rpy. You can also use "mm_root" or whatever, as long as you have it in your theme dictionary defined. Well, the yes/no image will be the same every time, but that's better than transparent square tiles. Please take note that the game will use a transition each time going to yesno_prompt screen without clicking a button, if you defined those transitions in options.rpy (config.enter_transition, for example).

Yes, I know how to do that, but that isn't what I want.
What I want to appear is the background of my main menu, which is an imagemap, or whichever screen it should be appearing on top of, to show instead of those transparent tiles.
thanks for replying though ;;

Ah, ok then.
All thanks goes to Dai-Sukima-Dan, because this is the code i borrowed from Touhou Mecha 1.1.

First, make sure that your yes/no prompt screen does not have a background (i mean "window" part of the screen), otherwise it'll appear not as you want to.
Second, add this to yes/no prompt screen.

Code: Select all

# Block key actions associated with the dialogue box
    key "rollback" action NullAction()
    key "rollforward" action NullAction()
    key "hide_windows" action NullAction()
    key "toggle_skip" action NullAction()

Else you'll find troubles while trying to quit while in say screen.

And finally add this to options.rpy (slightly edited):

Code: Select all

    def custom_quit():
            Quit()()
    config.quit_action = custom_quit

That will keep everything on screen.

@ Levrex
ahhh/// I finally got it working thanks to you!
Thank you so much!!
I really appreciate your help >//< <33

I was just looking at the other thread about quit prompts and was wondering how to solve it. I completely forgot about that code I wrote for Touhou Mecha, lol. >_> Nice.

A clarification on that code - config.quit_action allows you to customize what happens when you click that upper-right red X button (in Windows, it may look different on other OSes) to close the game window. I wasn't sure why the default config.quit_action made the other screens disappear, but I just over-rode that behavior by setting config.quit_action to the screen action Quit, which I know doesn't make the other screens disappear.

I appreciate your game for it having lots of unique code and solutions, which are helping me a lot in porting a game.
And it is quite enjoyable, well, if you don't pay attention to Orin's face. And, i guess, some transitions while switching characters' expressions would do.
The cave battle was really something. A movie, and a spectacular one.

When Chapter 2 will be out, if that's not a secret?

Oh, and by the way, Panda_nui, you need to define the NullAction() first, in "init python" block, if you're going to use "NullAction()".

Code: Select all

class NullAction(Action):
        def __call__(self):
            pass

ah yes, I already figured that out haha///
but seriously, thank you so much ;v; <333
