Menus in Pictures

[Lee_Hitsugaya]

I'm working on a series of Star Trek games and I wanted to have a minigame which would include the use of LCARS panels (or okudagrams for some oldschool trekkies). For those who have NO IDEA what these panels look like.



That. Is an LCARS.

Anyway, In the game it would have a readout that would show your 'sensors'. From there you could scan the area, fire weapons, activate shields, stand down red alert, surrender, and the like. However I don't know how to make a menu INSIDE of a PNG. Could Someone help me out with this?

However I don't know how to make a menu INSIDE of a PNG.

Stop me if I'm missing something, but if you plan to use Ren'Py's menus (which I guess with roundrect look similar enough to the buttons along the top there) couldn't you just set the PNG of the LCARS screen as your background (scene) and show your menu normally?

That would work, but I would need to resize and move the buttons but i dont know how to code that.

Let's say "button.png" is the picture of one of your buttons :

Code: Select all

show panelbackground
$ ui.imagebutton("button.png", "button.png", clicked=ui.jumps("mybuttonaction"), xpos=50, ypos=120)
$ ui.interact()

label mybuttonaction:
    "You clicked on mybutton! :D"

Positioning is done through xpos, ypos and xanchor, yanchor (0.0 for left/top, 1.0 for right/bottom, 0.5 for middle)
