Splashscreen skipping text

#1 Post by Zeekee »

Hey! So, for the splashscreen for my game, I have two video segments that play followed by some text. The text, however, does not work. It used to, but after recompiling the project after adding a minigame, the text no longer appears. Can anyone help me out here?

Here's the splashscreen code I had:

Code: Select all

label splashscreen:

    $ renpy.movie_cutscene('ANNEXE_V2.ogv')
    $ renpy.movie_cutscene('Unwonted_Sokash.ogv')
    
    scene black
    play music "music/Lifter.ogg"
    with Pause(1)

    show text "{font=dejavusans.ttf}Annexe Interactive{/font}" with fade
    with Pause(3)
    
    show text "{font=dejavusans.ttf}In association with Unwonted Studios{/font}" with fade
    with Pause(3)
    
    show text "{font=dejavusans.ttf}presents{/font}" with fade
    with Pause(3)

    hide text with dissolve
    with Pause(1)

    return

I admit not to having use "show text" even once in favor of "show expression Text()" which I've been using for a couple of years, but this really looks ok... I don't remember what layer movie cutscenes are shown on but if they are not covering the text, this is a really weird case :(

And off-hand, I've never used two "with" statements in a row (some things I never even consider trying) so I don't really know what that does so I'll take your word that it was working with the same setup at some point...

I don't know what exactly "doesn't work" about the text (does the splashscreen seem to skip right into the main menu after the movies play? do you get a black screen for the right amount of time but no text shows up?), but did you try taking the "with" out of the "with Pause(...)" lines?

Another thing you should check is to make sure that your text color is not black. I am pretty sure that Ren'py text defaults to black unless it's a UI item, so it's possible the text is behaving normally but you can't see it because it's black on black.

The splash screen skips right to the main menu after the video clips play. I also tried removing all of the "with" lines. No luck. :/

Isolate what the actual issue is -- we can't do that for you here. Does just the text code in a fresh project not work? Does the text code plus the movie in a fresh project not work? Does the text code plus the movie plus the minigame (whatever it was) not work? Is it a font problem? Are you using up to date renpy?
