Adding a Start Screen Before the Main Menu

[curry nochi rice]

Like the games of old, how do you add a screen/menu before the actual main menu? Like after loading and all the splashscreens, the players must press ENTER or SPACE or F to start the game.

Splashscreen might be helpful to look into here as that's called before the main menu stuff.

As a simple example:

Code: Select all

# Splashscreen stuff here. Also variables etc. that should be saved should be defined here, too.
label splashscreen:
 $ renpy.pause (0) # This MUST always be the first line in splashscreen.
 scene Whitedrop
 with None
 if config.developer:
  # If developer console (aka debug) mode is enabled, make sure a message to that effect is given here.
  "DEVELOPER (DEBUG) MODE ENABLED"
 return

Hmm... so basically like a menu but instead of choices, you present a key?

No. It's just a standard Ren'Py label, it's up to you what to code for it.

I believe that's what label "before_main_menu" was created for: http://www.renpy.org/doc/html/label.html#special-labels

is this thread has closed or solved? because i want to ask for more detail.
can you give me the detail code, as i see, it stop at if config.developer block. since im new in here, and have less knowledge about python, i need ur assistance for this start screen before main menu.

i understand the splashscreen block, like adding scene, cutscene, pause, transition and so on. but after that, begin the - reach the 'press space bar to start' screen - i dont have any idea about that. can you lead me, how to add it, how to change the button from spacebar to F or something, or maybe the user must click specific button to start, and something like that.

sorry for my bad english, im not a native. i hope you understand.

and i understand how its work. but i have another question. is it possible to change the background of Start Screen and Main Menu Screen. i mean, its like to show an animal background on 'Press the Start Button' Screen, and the jungle background on the Main Menu Screen

I have no idea why you started another thread in the General Discussion section (out of the Ren'Py section) about the same subject, but Divona answered your question there.
