Cant create Language options menu

[neometalero]

I put this code in the options.rpy following this tutorial viewtopic.php?t=43333 but when I launch the game there is no Language menu visible, or error code, any Idea about what could be happening? tks!

Code: Select all

init -3 python:
    if persistent.lang is None:
        persistent.lang = "english"
    lang = persistent.lang
init python:
    config.main_menu.insert(3, (u'Language', "language_chooser", "True"))
init python:
    if lang == "english":
        style.default.font = "font_name_here_1.ttf" #english font here
    elif lang == "espaniol":
        style.default.font = "font_name_here_2.ttf" #espaniol font here

You need to prompt the user with menu choices that set the language or create your own screen with buttons that do the same thing.

Code: Select all

label language_chooser: 
    scene black 
    menu: 
        "{font=Arimo-Regular.ttf}English{/font}": $ renpy.change_language(None) 
        "{font=Arimo-Regular.ttf}Русский{/font}": $ renpy.change_language("russian")
    $ renpy.utter_restart() #alternatively, use "return" if you don't want to go to the main menu.

Code: Select all

hotspot(#,#,#,#) action ShowMenu("language_chooser") #insert coordinates appropriately

**edit: I realize that specific block of code is for a splash screen selection. I don't see it working either but it could be outdated? You could try implementing a section in the preferences menu possibly that selects language

Tks, I think I will use this code, but Im having a problem with the font, it says It cant find the Arimo-Regular.ttf file.

That's just an example. You don't even need to have it change font right there. I just pasted that from the tutorial you shared. Basically if you wanted to just open a menu in the dialogue (as a simple solution), all it would need to be is something like:

Code: Select all

label start:

        e "Hi, which language would you like?"

        menu:

            "English":
                $ renpy.change_language(None)
            "Русский":
                $ renpy.change_language("russian")
        $ renpy.utter_restart() #alternatively, use "return" if you don't want to go to the main menu.

Tks, that worked, but now it seems like it doesnt choose the files that needs to be using once I selected Epañol

Code: Select all

label language_chooser:
    scene black
    menu:
        "English":
            $ renpy.change_language(None)
        "Español":
            $ renpy.change_language("espaniol")
