[SOLVED] Fade-in to Main Menu? (as of March 31st, 2018)

[017Bluefield]

I don't know if this was answered recently already, but I'm trying to find an answer to the "fade into main menu upon startup" question for Ren'Py version 6.99.14.1.3218.

I already know the code used back in 2006...

Code: Select all

label main_menu:
    with None
    $ renpy.transition(dissolve)

    jump _library_main_menu

...but I've tried it now, and it doesn't work. Ren'Py doesn't seem to know what _library_main_menu is. All in all, I'm stuck. Any insight?

Try main_menu_screen instead.

Code: Select all

label main_menu:
    with None
    $ renpy.transition(dissolve)
    jump main_menu_screen

Ah, great! That seemed to work!

Last thing: I can start a main-menu song to play as the transition plays, right? Or is it not that simple?

There's a default transition for when loading the main menu in options.rpy
You could also use a before_main_menu label

It is better to set main-menu song with the line (in options.rpy)

Code: Select all

define config.main_menu_music =....

Other options can lead to certain problems..
