Can I have "Quit Game", on the Main Menu, prompt?

[Tage]

As of now, the "Quit Game" just exits the game without prompting "Yes" or "No" for quitting. I want to know if I can make it prompt like it does from inside the "Continue Game" screen.

Right now, I have "Quit Game" point to my own label that uses an imagemap to prompt the exit.

Also, when I say "No" on the "Continue Game" screen exit prompt, it takes me back to the game instead of the "Continue Game" screen. Is there any way to "correct" this?

If you change library.main_menu to point to _confirm_quit rather than _quit, it should work.

Not really. The problem is, Ren'Py doesn't keep a memory of how you got to quit. If you think of "Load", "Save", "Preferences" and "Quit" as tabs in a more normal application, you can sort of get how this works.

Once again, it sounded so obvious, lol. It does pull up a prompt as said; however, both "Yes" and "No" close the program. I guess I'll stick with my imagemap. (took me a while to make anyway, rofl )

And, in retrospect, I can see why both close the program. You really need to make it something like:

Code: Select all

label confirm_quit:
    call _confirm_quit
    jump main_menu

Otherwise, even if you don't confirm the quit, you fall of the edge of the world, and Ren'Py automatically closes in that case.
