How to add Song Information to "Music Room." [Solved]

[yukiculkin]

My Question: I'm wanting to find a way to add song information in the music room screen. That is, say I am playing the "So-n-so Song" by The So-n-Sos in the music room. Ideally, there would be that very information somewhere on the screen (song title, singer, song length, etc.)

I guess the real question is: can what I want even be done at all? I've been fiddling with for clauses and if/else loops and so forth, but because I'm a complete failure when it comes to code, I've yet to figure out any magic fixes. :/ I did try to search the forums for similar topics, but I didn't find anything relevant (....I might've missed everything though OTL).

Thank you!

Answer to real question is yes.

=======

Answer to your question is below.

Code: Select all

textbutton _("So-n-so Song"):
    action [mr.Play("music/SNS.ogg"), Show("music_info", chapter_text=u'The song that's played currently is called "So-n-so Song" and was written by The So-n-Sos.')]

(Assuming "mr" is a MusicRoom alias, as in the wiki.)

Code: Select all

screen music_info:
    
    window background None:
        area (16, 305, 580, 100)
        
        text chapter_text:
            style "chapter_text"

That shows only text somewhere on the screen in a certain area when you click the button (my screen is using a custom style). If you want to show info when you hover over it - use "hovered" event for showing screen instead.

Sorry for the late reply, but thank you! That worked wonderfully!

is this possibly can be use in imagebutton: like this

Code: Select all

imagebutton:
            action mr.Play("music/Akogare no Hibi.mp3")
            idle "gui/Track1.png"
            hover "gui/Track2.png"

cause when I try the code

Code: Select all

imagebutton:
            action mr.Play("music/Ajisai no Ha.mp3") Show("music_info", chapter_text=u'The song thats played currently is called "Ajisai no Ha" and was written by Yukari Hashimoto.')]
            idle "gui/Track1.png"
            hover "gui/Track2.png"

But it shows error:

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but errors were detected in your script. Please correct the
errors listed below, and try again.


File "game/options.rpy", line 404: u'Show' is not a keyword argument or valid child for the imagebutton statement.
    action mr.Play("music/Ajisai no Ha.mp3") Show("music_info", chapter_text=u'The song thats played currently is called "Ajisai no Ha" and was written by Yukari Hashimoto.')]
                                                 ^

You are missing a left bracket and a comma around mr.Play():

Code: Select all

    imagebutton:
        idle "gui/Track1.png" hover "gui/Track2.png"
        action [mr.Play("music/Ajisai no Ha.mp3"), Show("music_info", chapter_text=u'This song is called "Ajisai no Ha", written by Yukari Hashimoto.')]
        #      ^                                 ^

wii! Thnx...wew...shame on me...Why I dont use my logic?? hehhe thnx a lot :3

But how will I get rid of this when returning to main menu? O_O

[pwisaguacate]

Use the MainMenu() screen action somewhere:

Code: Select all

screen my_screen:

    # This ensures that any other menu screen is replaced.
    tag menu

    [...]

    textbutton _("Main Menu") action MainMenu()

The Save/Load and Preferences screens also use "use navigation", but music rooms / extras are most likely not to be linked to ingame.

Im using imagebutton:...if I change it to MainMenu()...it doesnt hover...
why is that?

im putting it on my Extras menu

Imagebuttons work similarly:

Code: Select all

    imagebutton:
        idle "mm_button_idle.png" hover "mm_button_hover.png" action MainMenu(confirm=False)

Is it not working for you? (What doesn't hover?)

[kuri_chii]

its really not working...

Code: Select all

imagebutton:
            action MainMenu()
            idle "gui/Return1.png"
            hover "gui/Return2.png"

thats my imagebutton: code

If it doesn't hover, it means it's still in the main menu context or whatever it's called.
That means you need to either Start a label beforehand, or use Return(), or use Show("main_menu").
