Allowing saving during splashscreen

[Remix]

Code: Select all

label before_main_menu:
    if not persistent.seen_prologue:
        $ renpy.jump_out_of_context("prologue")
    return 

label prologue:
    "1"
    "2"
    "3"
    if not persistent.seen_prologue:
        $ persistent.seen_prologue = True
        $ renpy.call_in_new_context("_main_menu")
    return

label start:
    "Start"
    "Middle {a=call:prologue}read prologue again{/a}"
    "End"
    return

If I read your requirements correctly, that should do the trick.

Hmm, I tried that and I can't call the save screen during the prologue. I'm familiar with persistent switches, I'm just hoping to be able to allow the player to save during the prologue so they don't feel obligated to finish it in one sitting

Strange, it works fine for me on 7.1.0.795.

What code are you using?
Which Ren'Py version?

Uh... how about the before_main_menu label?

My version uses that (which incidentally runs in the same context as main menu so does not allow saves/right click)
then jumping out of context (to allow saves etc)
in the prologue label (which then sets the persistent so you can access main menu without before_main_menu doing its thing again)

Seems a logical way to approach the problem.

Ah, didn't see your post. Sorry.

Which is what I assumed the main_menu label existed for, but apparently not.
Is that just an oversight I made, or is it an error in the documentation, do you think?
