Modifying Title Screen

[That Oyajicon]

So I've just learned how to use imagemaps, and I want to use that knowledge to make a snazzy new title screen!

This is the base image I'm working with:



My question is, how do I take this image and turn it into a proper title screen?

I know how to make imagemaps that lead to certain script events, but how do I make it so that they lead to things like the options screen or the start of the game?

You already have an example of the commands to use to go to options screen or the start of the game in the screens.rpy file that comes with any new project. You earlier asked for tips on learning Renpy. A tip I neglected to mention is when you create a new project, look through the code in the files that are automatically generated. They are great examples of how to make screens and screen actions and screen elements. The code you are looking for is under the navigation screen.

Second thing. Imagebuttons are better than imagemaps. You might want to make your main menu with imagebuttons instead. A cookbook for imagebuttons is here: viewtopic.php?f=51&t=22565
Note: there is an error with this code that is easily fixed. The post that explains how to fix it is here: viewtopic.php?p=438515#p438515

ETA: I just created a version of the Imagebuttons tutorial that has the problem fixed. It is currently the last post on that thread. You can download that and check out the tutorial.

try looking at the main menu screen language/code, then just replace it with your imagemap.

Code: Select all

hotspot (0,0,0,0) action Start()
hotspot(0,0,0,0) action ShowMenu("load")

and so on (though with your hotspots)

If you're worried about destroying code, just create a different screen and then use it instead once it's done? or just notate it out

Real quick, when I try to incorporate that code into a new game, I get an error telling me that "test_one" and all its ilk aren't valid sound channels. What can I do to fix this?

You should just take the files from that tutorial and put them in your game. You could run through the tutorial while looking at the code at the same time to see how they work, and then using that code as a model, create your own code.

When I copy the contents of your ZZ folder over to a new game project, the tutorial game ends up looking like this:



Not sure what I'm doing wrong, tbh.

You don't need to copy the folder into a new game project. You can just put the entire ZZ folder wherever you have your projects in general and load from the ZZ folder.
