Customizing a menu

[Gear]

Somehow, I knew it would come to this.

The person who agreed to do my UI hasn't contacted me in a very long time, so I thought, "Hey, Gear, let's do our own UI!"

Yeah, this is turning into a mistake.

I used the tutorial on the wiki to put this little gem together:

Code: Select all

screen preferences:
    init -2 python:
        layout.imagemap_preferences(
            "ui/options/ground.jpg",
            "ui/options/idle.jpg",
            "ui/options/hover.jpg",
            "ui/options/selected_idle.jpg",
            "ui/options/selected_hover.jpg",
            [
                (34, 188, 131, 21, "Window"),
                (18, 218, 162, 20, "Fullscreen"),
                (1098, 185, 63, 25, "All"),
                (1096, 217, 71, 23, "None"),
                #(180, 300, 318, 339, "Joystick"),
                (738, 193, 191, 25, "Seen Messages"),
                (741, 224, 183, 25, "All Messages"),
                (738, 280, 191, 24, "Begin Skipping"),
                (361, 187, 176, 24, "Stop Skipping"),
                (360, 217, 177, 23, "Keep Skipping"),
                #(725, 181, 790, 213, "Sound Test"),

                (51, 627, 222, 16, "Music Volume"),
                (329, 627, 222, 17, "Sound Volume"),
                (629, 627, 224, 17, "Voice Volume"),
                #(318, 287, 542, 321, "Auto-Forward Time"),
                (968, 627, 221, 17, "Text Speed"),

                # Also define the game menu buttons.
                (13, 396, 147, 29, "Return"),
                (452, 395, 205, 33, "Save Game"),
                (683, 394, 209, 31, "Load Game"),
                (189, 395, 237, 30, "Preferences"),
                (918, 394, 215, 34, "Main Menu"),
                (1158, 392, 98, 38, "Quit"),
                ])

End result? Bam. Being that I am not good at this programming stuff, I don't even know where to start on the error. Can anyone give me a little insight? Please?

That method is very old and it doesn't work so much for older versions. (Last I heard anyway).
Why not try the imagemap way.

Ex.

Code: Select all

# Preferences
#
# Screen that allows the user to change the preferences.
# http://www.renpy.org/doc/html/screen_special.html#prefereces
screen preferences:

    tag menu
    use navigation

    imagemap:
        ground 'prefsteststart.png'
        idle 'prefsteststart.png'
        hover 'prefstestwhite.png'
        selected_idle 'prefstestwhite.png'
        selected_hover 'prefstestinvert.png'

        hotspot (585, 44, 160, 44) clicked Preference("display", "fullscreen")
        hotspot (386, 44, 160, 44) clicked Preference("display", "window")
        hotspot (175, 386, 112, 34) clicked Preference("transitions", "all")
        hotspot (37, 386, 112, 34) clicked Preference("transitions", "none")
        hotspot (389, 260, 160, 44) action Preference('after choices', 'stop')
        hotspot (586, 260, 160, 44) action Preference('after choices', 'skip')
        hotspot (389, 154, 160, 44) action Preference('skip', 'seen')
        hotspot (587, 154, 160, 44) action Preference('skip', 'all')
        hotbar (23, 31, 266, 10) value Preference("music volume")
        hotbar (23, 92, 266, 10) value Preference("sound volume")
        hotbar (667, 535, 161, 20) value Preference("voice volume")
        hotbar (23, 152, 266, 10) value Preference("text speed")
        hotbar (23, 213, 266, 10) value Preference('auto-forward time') 

        hotspot (10, 543, 127, 57) action Return()
        hotspot (139, 543, 127, 57) action ShowMenu('save') activate_sound "Buttonexit.mp3"
        hotspot (275, 543, 127, 57) action ShowMenu('load') activate_sound "Buttonexit.mp3"
        hotspot (422, 543, 127, 57) action ShowMenu('preferences') activate_sound "Buttonexit.mp3"
        hotspot (553, 543, 127, 57) action MainMenu()
        hotspot (670, 543, 127, 57) action Quit()
 

Hope that helps.

An init can't be indented.

ShippoK - I tried adapting my code to the style you provided, but there was a problem with the 'value' for the sliders. The game claimed that 'value' was not an acceptable piece of code. Then I changed it to 'action' and the game actually started, but attempting to click on the slider resulted in:

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

EEP! Making progress, but it doesn't quite work yet.

@pwisaguacate - If I don't indent the init code, I get an error: http://puu.sh/3qXPP.jpg

Hotbars are supposed to use value instead of action. I'm not sure exactly how you're running into the first problem since the imagemap script ShippoK works for me. Maybe you somehow did something funky?

[Gear]

I most certainly did do something funky -- I didn't transcribe the code correctly because I was being lazy when I was reading.

It works TECHNICALLY now, but now when I hover over a slider, it shows the "hover" image rather than either following the mouse or leaving it at the current setting. Do I need to do something different with a hotbar in an imagemap than I do with other items?
