CG Gallery using code?

#1 Post by Rinzamakani »

Hello. I've been trying to make a gallery for four characters for about a week. Every gallery code I've tried online spits out errors. The original code a friend gave is the one below:

Code: Select all

##ToDo: Make sure the button which leads to the gallery has the action listed below.
button:
    action [ShowMenu("gallery_navigation"), Show("gallery")

################################################################################
## Gallery screen
################################################################################

## Gallery Images
init python:

    g = Gallery()

    ## Your Gallery Items 
    ## ToDo: Copy Paste these two lines and add your buttonname and imagename/path of the cg, do that for all cg's.
    g.button("Gallery_Button_Name")
    g.unlock_image("Gallery_Image.png")

    g.transition = dissolve

## Variable for CG Page
default cg_page = 1
## Gallery Part 1, Navigation
screen gallerynavigation():

    ## Background Image of the Gallery
    ## ToDo: Add your gallery background.
    add "Background.png"

    vbox:
        xalign 0.0
        yalign 0.5
        spacing 20

        ## Your Gallery Pages (1-3). 
        ## ToDo: Copy/Paste and change the number if you need more pages. Names can be anything from numbers to character names.
        textbutton ("1") action SetVariable("cgpage", 1)
        textbutton ("2") action SetVariable("cgpage", 2)
        textbutton ("3") action SetVariable("cgpage", 3)

    textbutton ("Return") action [Return(), Hide("gallery_navigation")]

## Gallery Part 2, Content
screen gallery():

    zorder 100
    tag menu

    ## Gallery Buttons for Page 1, CG 1-9. 
    ## ToDo: Copy/Paste this section and change the number for the second, third etc page.
    if cg_page == 1:

        grid 3 3:

            ## Adjust these numbers as you wish.
            xalign 0.5
            yalign 0.5
            xspacing 20
            yspacing 20

            ## The actual gallery content.
            ## ToDo: Add 9 buttons from the ones you created by writting the name and adding the other info in or add null for any empty slots in case the grid wont be full.
            add g.make_button("Gallery_Button_Name", "Gallery_Image_Thumbnail.png", "Gallery_Locked_Thumbnail.png")
The error I get with this code is:

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but errors were detected in your script. Please correct the
errors listed below, and try again.


File "game/gallery.rpy", line 3: is not terminated with a newline. (Check strings and parenthesis.)
        action [ShowMenu("gallery_navigation"), Show("gallery")

I'm using imagemaps with the current gallery button looking like this:

Code: Select all

hotspot (778, 647, 274, 52) action ShowMenu ("gallery")
Is there any way I can achieve a CG gallery with only code? I may be misplacing something. I'm not sure. Sorry. This is my first time trying to get a gallery in my game.

The error is in line three. You need to add ] at the end.

Code: Select all

action [ShowMenu("gallery_navigation"), Show("gallery")]

I see. Thank you. After I added that, however, it gives me this:

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but errors were detected in your script. Please correct the
errors listed below, and try again.

Ahh, you need to add the button to the navigation menu, like so.

Code: Select all

screen navigation():

    vbox:
        style_prefix "navigation"

        xpos gui.navigation_xpos
        yalign 0.5

        spacing gui.navigation_spacing

        if main_menu:

            textbutton _("Start") action Start()

        else:

            textbutton _("History") action ShowMenu("history")

            textbutton _("Save") action ShowMenu("save")

        textbutton _("Load") action ShowMenu("load")

        textbutton _("Preferences") action ShowMenu("preferences")
        
        textbutton _("Gallery") action [ShowMenu("gallery_navigation"), Show("gallery")]

        if _in_replay:

            textbutton _("End Replay") action EndReplay(confirm=True)

        elif not main_menu:

            textbutton _("Main Menu") action MainMenu()

        textbutton _("About") action ShowMenu("about")

Thank you! That seems to have helped with that, but now I'm getting this error.

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

Ahh, I see now. It seems you didn't edit the code your friend gave you? You have to add in the images you plan to use for the background and thumbnails. You would also have to copy and paste extra lines for each cg you want in your gallery. Whatever you named those images, you write.

I think something like this, since I can't access my old projects. I haven't used null yet, but I did try to make a tiny example. You would have to tinker with that to get the height right.

Edit: I looked in the Renpy Cookbook and saw a thread for an extras gallery by gas. It seems you don't need to add height to null. So I edited accordingly.

Code: Select all

## Gallery Part 2, Content
screen gallery():

    zorder 100
    tag menu

    ## Gallery Buttons for Page 1, CG 1-9. 
    ## ToDo: Copy/Paste this section and change the number for the second, third etc page.
    if cg_page == 1:

        grid 3 3:

            ## Adjust these numbers as you wish.
            xalign 0.5
            yalign 0.5
            xspacing 20
            yspacing 20

            ## The actual gallery content.
            ## ToDo: Add 9 buttons from the ones you created by writting the name and adding the other info in or add null for any empty slots in case the grid wont be full.
            add g.make_button("Gallery_Button_Name", "Gallery_Image_ThumbnailCG1.png", "Gallery_Locked_Thumbnail.png")
            add g.make_button("Gallery_Button_Name", "Gallery_Image_ThumbnailCG2.png", "Gallery_Locked_Thumbnail.png")
            add g.make_button("Gallery_Button_Name", "Gallery_Image_ThumbnailCG3.png", "Gallery_Locked_Thumbnail.png")
            add g.make_button("Gallery_Button_Name", "Gallery_Image_ThumbnailCG4.png", "Gallery_Locked_Thumbnail.png")

            add g.make_button("Gallery_Button_Name", "Gallery_Image_ThumbnailBG5.png", "Gallery_Locked_Thumbnail.png")
            add g.make_button("Gallery_Button_Name", "Gallery_Image_ThumbnailBG6.png", "Gallery_Locked_Thumbnail.png")
            add g.make_button("Gallery_Button_Name", "Gallery_Image_ThumbnailBG7.png", "Gallery_Locked_Thumbnail.png")
            add g.make_button("Gallery_Button_Name", "Gallery_Image_ThumbnailBG8.png", "Gallery_Locked_Thumbnail.png")
            null
Hopefully this will work if my memory's right.
