Hi!
Is there a way to start a music track within the splashscreen that then rolls over into the main menu?
Ideally I'd like for the main menu screen to check to see if there is already a song playing and if yes then continue to play that song (without missing a beat), but if not, then it would start playing a song.
I wanted to do something like:
if renpy.music.is_playing(channel='music') == False:
play music ["music/folkinstrumental.mp3"] fadein 5.0
But the only way I know to fiddle with the music options in the main menu is through the define config.main_menu_music section in the Options file.
Thank you!

Re: Music in Main Menu from Splashscreen
If your main menu music is the same file as the music you start in the splash screen it should simply continue without interruption--no need to do anything. Don't know if there's a way to test for music playing, but I believe using 'queue' instead of 'play' would work for the purposes you describe.

Re: Music in Main Menu from Splashscreen
expenseroso is right. (Examples are from my game "The Other Question") You simply define your main menu song as usual.Then you play the same song in your splash screenRen'Py will keep playing the song when reaching the main menu screen.
Code: Select all
config.main_menu_music = "bgm/yeah.OGG"
Code: Select all
label splashscreen:
scene black
show logo:
truecenter
with Dissolve(1.0)
play music "bgm/yeah.OGG" #same song played on the main menu
scene black
with Dissolve(2.0)
return
No, sorry! You must be mistaking me for someone else.
