Quick menu?

[Catboo12]

Okay, so recently I downloaded a new GUI for my game because I don't like the default one so the GUI is completely coded differently (obviously).

At the start of my game the player can type their name the code for this is:

Code: Select all

$ player_name = renpy.input("Hello! Thank you for signing up with Summer fun. What is your name?") 

This is correct because it worked previously. However, after adding the new GUI, now when I start the game and try to use this code to have the user type their name this error message appears:

Code: Select all

File "game/script.rpy", line 100, in script
    $ player_name = renpy.input("Hello! Thank you for signing up with Summer fun. What is your name?")
  File "game/script.rpy", line 100, in <module>
    $ player_name = renpy.input("Hello! Thank you for signing up with Summer fun. What is your name?")
  File "game/screens.rpy", line 106, in prepare_screen
    screen input:
  File "game/screens.rpy", line 106, in prepare
    screen input:
  File "game/screens.rpy", line 108, in prepare
    window style "input_window":
  File "game/screens.rpy", line 108, in prepare
    window style "input_window":
  File "game/screens.rpy", line 109, in prepare
    has vbox
  File "game/screens.rpy", line 109, in prepare
    has vbox
Exception: A screen named quick_menu does not exist.

So, I checked the screens.rpy and this is my code for inputs:

Code: Select all

screen input:

    window style "input_window":
        has vbox

        text prompt style "input_prompt"
        input id "input" style "input_text"
        
        use quick_menu

I don't understand why it keeps coming up with this error. I don't even know if the input code is important to fixing the error. Can someone please help? I am so lost

It looks like you do not have screen named quick_menu. You probably have lost it in the transition process.

Moving existing project from old GUI to new one is a pain. It changes structure of default screens, changes styles to get values from other places and so on.

I found that best way to migrate your project is:

1. Backup screens.rpy and options.rpy files.
2. Create new project with new gui.
3. Copy gui.rpy, screens.rpy and options.rpy from new project to old one, overwriting files.
4. Move your user-defined screens to new screens.rpy file.
5. Make your project runnable again.
6. Add changes to standard screens from old screens and options files to new, adapting when needed.
