Question about Main Menu Customization (SOLVED)

[CoffeeGamer]

Hello, everybody!
I am trying to build highly customized Visual Novel. But I met a problem that probably has an easy fix. Can somebody tell me how can I change the size of the menu in the Main Menu Screen? I figured out how to change, the text, the color and the position, but not the size.
Thanks in advance to everybody!

It should be either in the screens.rpy file, or the options.rpy file under your project's game directory.

The #comments in the code should tell you what will adjust the size.

[CoffeeGamer]

Yes i already checked both screens.rpy and options.rpy thats how i was able to adjust things like the possitions and names of the menus but i just could not find the option to adjust the size of the main menu anywhere in options or screens.rpy to adjust the size of the buttons that is.

I just customized my main menu days ago. Maybe you can post up a screenshot of your main menu so we know what's going on and maybe, can help with my past experience. Cheers.

If I understand you correctly, you want to adjust the basic textbuttons on the main menu screen (not creating an image map for it etc). To do that you'll want...

Code: Select all

init -2:

    style mm_button:
        xsize [insert-some-number]
        ysize [insert-some-number]
        xpadding [insert-some-number]
        ypadding [insert-some-number]
        xmargin [insert-some-number]
        ymargin [insert-some-number] 

You don't need to set numbers for all of those, but fiddling with them will give you different adjustments in size in various ways.

style mm_button is probably already coded in the init -2 block right below screen main_menu in screens.rpy. You just have to make sure to remove the size_group "mm" that's already there. And you can use style mm_button_text to style the overall appearance & size of the button text as well.

Here is a screenshot of the screens.rpy file of what i replaced the original code with, and the traceback log that occured when i tried to launch the game, i am probably just messing up something and making a nooby mistake... Thanks in advance!

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for -: 'int' and 'RevertableList'

The numbers should be without brackets.
So:

Code: Select all

style mm_button:
    xsize 300
    ysize 200

Note: 1 is a really small number--it is one pixel! You make it that small and you won't see those buttons at all! If your game is at the default size of 800x600, then an xsize of 400 would be half the width of your screen.

Thanks to all of you! You have all been of much help ! It worked
