Main Menu ATL help

[Tagumonman55]

So... I have this picture for my title screen, and There's a flower, thats supposed to be dripping blood from one of the petals. I already drew all the images. but now I have to code them into Renpy

I put this in my screens

Code: Select all

##############################################################################
# Main Menu
#
# Screen that's used to display the main menu, when Ren'Py first starts
# http://www.renpy.org/doc/html/screen_special.html#main-menu

screen main_menu():
     image titleimage:
        add "images/QP1.jpg"
        pause 0.1
        add "images/QP2.jpg"
        pause 0.1
        add "images/QP3.jpg"
        pause 0.1
        add "images/QP4.jpg"
        pause 0.1
        add "images/QP5.jpg"
        pause 0.1
        add "images/QP6.jpg"
        pause 0.1
        add "images/QP7.jpg"
        pause 0.1
        add "images/QP8.jpg"
        pause 0.1
        repeat

    # This ensures that any other menu screen is replaced.
    tag menu

    # The background of the main menu.
    window:
        style "mm_root"
        use titleimage()

and my mm_root is set to #000000, but all I get is a black screen, how do i see the animation....

You only define your image, but don't add it to the screen, try adding it with

Code: Select all

add titleimage

Code: Select all

add "titleimage"

is a better bet. Also images should not be declared in screens...

You only define your image, but don't add it to the screen, try adding it with

Code: Select all

add titleimage

Where do I add that? I tried in Tag, Above where I defined it, and below MM root, but I still get a black screen... I'm not sure If MM root is hiding it or not, as MM root shows a black screen. I feel like I'm overlooking something simple.

Code: Select all

image titleimage:
    add "images/QP1.jpg"
    pause 0.1
    add "images/QP2.jpg"
    pause 0.1
    add "images/QP3.jpg"
    pause 0.1
    add "images/QP4.jpg"
    pause 0.1
    add "images/QP5.jpg"
    pause 0.1
    add "images/QP6.jpg"
    pause 0.1
    add "images/QP7.jpg"
    pause 0.1
    add "images/QP8.jpg"
    pause 0.1
    repeat


screen main_menu():
    # This ensures that any other menu screen is replaced.
    tag menu

    # The background of the main menu.
    add "titleimage"

    pause 0.1
    add "images/QP2.jpg"

    add "images/QP3.jpg"

    add "images/QP7.jpg"
    pause 0.1
    add "images/QP8.jpg"
    pause 0.1
    repeat


screen main_menu():
    # This ensures that any other menu screen is replaced.
    tag menu

    # The background of the main menu.
    add "titleimage"

I tried this and I still have a black screen... very confused...

EDIT! HAD TO CHANGE MM ROOT TO "titleimage" XD
I KNEW IT WAS SOMETHING STUPID!

Or you had to copypaste the code which deleted the window... it doesn't matter, both approaches are fine.

Define your image outside of the window, as suggested, this way:

Code: Select all

image titleimage:
    "images/QP1.jpg"
    pause 0.1
    "images/QP2.jpg"
    pause 0.1
    "images/QP3.jpg"
    pause 0.1
    "images/QP4.jpg"
    pause 0.1
    "images/QP5.jpg"
    pause 0.1
    "images/QP6.jpg"
    pause 0.1
    "images/QP7.jpg"
    pause 0.1
    "images/QP8.jpg"
    pause 0.1
    repeat

And then add it to your main menu screen.

Code: Select all

screen main_menu:

    tag menu

    window:
        style "mm_root"
    add "titleimage"

No need to use 'add' inside the image declaration.

Hey, sorry to dig up this old thread but when I do the exact same thing I get an error equivalent to 'NameError: name "titleimage" is not defined'. 'show titleimage' in script.rpy works, so I'm not sure where I'm going wrong.
