Music playing from splash to mainmenu?

[Dizzydude]

How would I set it up so that the music plays from the splashscreen to the main menu without pausing or stopping? The way I have it now, it plays during the splashscreen, and then stops at the main menu.

Code: Select all

label splashscreen:
    play music "shosholoza.mp3" fadein 1.0
    scene bg black
    with Pause(1)

    show splash1 with fade
    with Pause(1)
    show splash2
    with Pause(1)
    show splash3
    with Pause(3)

I'm trying to complete this game as a gift before the end of today, and all that's left is the music. Help would be greatly appreciated!

Not sure, but try this

Code: Select all

label splashscreen:
scene bg black
with Pause(1)
show splash1 with fade
with Pause(1)
show splash2
with Pause(1)
show splash3
with Pause(3)

label start:
play music "shosholoza.mp3"
fadein 1.0
#here is your splashscreen 
stop music 
#the moment when you need to stop music

Well, it's kinda simple for the effect you want to generate... I will talk in terms of Ren'Py wiki for now...
"The play statement is used to play sound and music. If a file is currently playing, it is interrupted and replaced with the new file."
But, it was also written somewhere that if you provide the same filename, which is currently playing, the file will continue to play without pausing or stopping...
So, in terms of code now:

Code: Select all

label splashscreen:
    play music "shosholoza.mp3" fadein 1.0
    scene bg black
    with Pause(1)

    show splash1 with fade
    with Pause(1)
    show splash2
    with Pause(1)
    show splash3
    with Pause(3)

This was your original code... Now, in an init block, add:

Code: Select all

init -1 python:
    config.main_menu_music = "shosholoza.mp3"

You can find this option in options.rpy for setting Main Menu music...
Hope it helps!

It works! Hahahahahahahahahahahaha! Thank you, shivanshs9. I've been scratching my head for months, trying to figure out how to do it, and the solution (as it often happens when using Ren'Py) was so simple! Thank you again.

Yeah, I can understand your emotions... It often happens with me too, you know.
So, I have simply come to accept it as a part of computer programming...

Ah, thanks. Already completed the game gift-wise, but this is useful info ^^
