Showing Logo Before Game Starts? [SOLVED]

[quacksapup]

Hi all,

I was wondering how I can show my productions logo before my game menu shows up? Like how SakeVisual does it before their games. If anyone can help me with this, that'd be great!

Thanks,

Something like this.
Place this before 'label start:'

Code: Select all

label splashscreen:
    $ renpy.pause(0)
    show logosample
    with Pause(3.0)
    
    return

Better example.

Code: Select all

label splashscreen:
    $ renpy.pause(0)
    with Pause(0.5)
    
    show logosample
    with slowdissolve
    with Pause (0.5)
    play sound "giggle.mp3"
    with Pause(3.0)
    
    hide logosample
    with slowdissolve
    with Pause(1.5)
    
    return

Hope that helps.

Huzzah! It works! Is there a way to make it fade into the menu? Because the game menu appears too abruptly for my taste.

Thanks so much,

Just dissolve or fade into your main menu background (set mm_root to same file in options.rpy):

Code: Select all

image bg main_menu = "main_menu.png"
image bg splashscreen = "splashscreen.png"

label splashscreen:
    show bg splashscreen
    with dissolve
    $ renpy.pause(1.0)
    show bg main_menu
    with fade
    
    return

I'm using

Code: Select all

label splashscreen:
    
    show logosample
    with dissolve
    play sound "sfx/logo.mp3"
    with Pause(5.8)

    hide logosample
    with dissolve
    show bg main_menu
    with dissolve
    
    return

But for some reason the transition to the main menu doesn't work. I took out those extra pauses because it showed a transparent screen, and I didn't want that. This code I showed you works, but the only thing that doesn't work is the bg main_menu transition. Help???

I tested the code you pasted, and it worked perfectly for me. Make sure you aren't clicking during the splash screen and that you defined bg main_menu in script.rpy and set mm_root to the same one in options.rpy (it's near the bottom of "Themes" section).

I get an invalid syntax for changing mm_menu to bg main_root. I don't think that's what you meant though... sorry, I'm a newbie. I know I'm not supposed to click while the splash screen is in play, so it's something to do with "bg main_menu in script.rpy and set mm_root to the same one in options.rpy". I'm not quite sure what you mean...

Sorry if I was being unclear.

Code: Select all

mm_root = "main_menu.png" # NOT " mm_woot = bg main_menu "!

Nah, I think it's my lack of experience. I finally get what you were trying to say now. I tried what you instructed, and it works! Thank you so very much!
