[Solved] Disconnecting History from Game Menu

[quinnelope]

I am new to screens, and wanted to start out by editing the default "History" screen to better fit my game. Part of that includes removing the game menu from the left side. I want the player to be able to open the history, read it if they want, then go back to the game.

I think it has something to do with

Code: Select all

    use game_menu(_("History"), scroll=("vpgrid" if gui.history_height else "viewport")):

(line 887 in the default screens.rpy)

I've tried commenting it out, but then nothing appears (and the only way to get out is to uncomment the line and shift+R). Then I tried deleting everything up to the comma, but then I got a syntax error. Do I have to make a new type of menu? Do I have to move the "scroll" part? Should I just comment out the whole history menu and make a new one from scratch?

In the game_menu screen there's a line

Code: Select all

use navigation

Put it in an if statement checking if the screen is history screen

Code: Select all

if title != "History":
    use navigation

Should hide the menu.

Since the navigation includes the only way to get out of the history screen, I recommend adding an exit/close/return button to the history screen itself.
