Blank frame in the beginning of the game?

[asatiir]

For a while now, something has been bothering me about the project I'm working on that I don't know how to remove. Whenever I boot up the game there's always a checkered gray screen that Ren'Py usually uses as a blank screen, it appears for less the second before the game boots up, is there a way to remove it?

the same thing happened to me when i had a screen thingy pop up before the main menu, what i did to solve this was make make it come in with a dissolve. made the menu image come in with a dissolve too just in case

That didn't work with me.

I added a splash screen, like they explained here: http://lemmasoft.renai.us/forums/viewto ... =8&t=21346
And with this the game starts very smoothly. Worth giving a try

This is pretty weird, I already had a splashscreen, but I figured out what was the problem.

See, I had the splashscreen as the following:

Code: Select all

label splashscreen:
    $ renpy.music.play("music.mp3")
    $ renpy.pause(0)
    scene black

It turned out that Ren'Py loaded the music before the black screen which caused the blank frame to appear.

This is how it should look like:

Code: Select all

label splashscreen:
    scene black
    $ renpy.music.play("music.mp3")
    $ renpy.pause(0)
