How do you change the main menu options?

#1 Post by DoshirakQueen »

Okay, I am a HUGE noob when it comes to Ren'Py, so please excuse me for asking such a (probably) stupid question, but...
How do you change the main menu options? Like get it to show "New Game" instead of "Start", or not show "Help" at all, etc.
(Please provide the code nesessary and explain where do I insert it because, as I said, I'm a noob)
If you can, please also help with changing the options at the bottom of the textbox, like "Back", "Save", etc... (specifically, getting it to not show some of these options)

Main menu: open screens.rpy search for the line:

Code: Select all

 screen navigation():
This is the main menu screen, have a play here but it should be obvious what you need to change. Compare it to the game's main menu for reference if you're unsure.

things that you want to hide but not to remove them just in-case you change your mind put # in front of the textbutton


find in screen

Code: Select all

textbutton _("Start") action Start()
change it

Code: Select all

textbutton _("New Game") action Start()
to hide something it should change to grey

Code: Select all

#textbutton _("Start") action Start()
