Main menu music

[Tyler]

Is there a way to have music in the main menu?

[PyTom]

Yes, in 4.2, although it's not as nice as it should be.

To do this, you want to write your own main menu, which then jumps to the library main menu. For example:

Code: Select all

label main_menu:

    $ renpy.music_start('background.mp3')
    jump _library_main_menu

You can use this technique to do anything you want before the main menu.

Hope this helps.

Thank you

3 years after....

lol

in options.rpy I put the music I want in main_menu like this:

config.main_menu_music = "music_I_wanna_hear_in_main_menu.ogg"

but it doesn't sound

is there anything else I need to change in options.rpy ?
or in another place?

thxs.

Are you sure the line doesn't start with an #?

IIRC, many of the lines in options.rpy are commented out by default, you have to uncomment it for it to work.

[khell]

yep , I'm absolutely sure about that XD


EDIT:

I just changed the name(in the ogg file and in the option.rpy) and it worked
I switched both to the old name and they didn't work again

the name that didn't work was "Sample１７.ogg"
was it because I started with a capital character? or maybe because it had a number in it, or meybe it didn't alowed the word "sample" inside the name?

well, If anyone know what exactly happened, please tell me, even if it was a bug XD

well, thanks anyway.

Probably more relevantly, the numbers aren't normal ASCII numbers but unicode numbers from some odd other part of the unicode range. And in my experience, Ren'Py is only happy loading files which are named entirely in ASCII. So rename your "Sample１７.ogg" to "Sample17.ogg" and try it again...

...the other thing to note is that while capital letters in filenames are fine, some of the systems Ren'Py runs on (e.g. Linux) have case-sensitive filesystems, so you should always use the exact same case in the script as the file has - capital letters where there are capital letters in the filename. Personally, I prefer to just name all of my files entirely in lowercase all the time to avoid confusion.

yeah, maybe was unicode, because that ogg file was the name of a song from a ost where almost all the songs where named in japanese (it was umineko 1 ost) XD

thanks ^^

Are you 100% adamant on using something that not ffu in your work? People around here tend to look at copyright seriously...

But then again, it perfectly makes sense to use OST of something in doujin work on it. And it is pretty much acceptable.

don't worry, I'm just getting started using renpy, so all the little games I'm doing now are only to learn renpy and to teach a friend how to use it, not for release XD

but Umineko is 07th Expansion first release as a non doujin game makers, so It won't be good to use those musics in released games
