Add simple image to screen

[RyuMaster]

Hi! For the last 2 hours, I can't do this simple stuff, searching and googling and trying... , so I decided to ask for help.

I've changed main menu background. Then I decided to add simple animation on top of it, playing from file frames. I see there are many ways, but I decided to go via altering main menu screen. So, inside scree.rpy:

Code: Select all

screen main_menu:

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

    # The background of the main menu.
    window:
        style "mm_root"
        add "main_menu" <--- I ADDED THIS 

i added new main_menu image.

Before this, inside my script.rpy, I have added this:

Code: Select all

image main_menu:
        "menuwalk/menuwalk_0135.png"
        xanchor 0.5
        yanchor 0.5
        rotate 0
        linear 50.0 rotate 360
        repeat

Code compiles fine, but I do not see new image. And I just can't debug why. Maybe wrong path? But when I changed path, or even renamed main_menu to main_menu2, I did not get any error 0_0

So, umm, my first question: after all I did, why I still can't see my animation playing on main menu?

Second: Can I somehow force renpy to throw errors, when it encounters undefiend variable or path which doesn't exist?

I tried the code and it works fine for me. It places it in the top left corner, so it might be hard to see. Add xalign 0.5 and yalign 0.5 to center it.

Thank you very much, now that I'm positive that it works, I'll try to understand why I can't see it. At least now I know that code itself is working properly.

FINALLY! MUCH YESSNESS!

##layout.grouped_main_menu()
##config.main_menu_per_group = 2

I had to comment this to make changes visible. So, if I use grouped layout, where should I add new image istead of directly adding it into screens script main_menu?
