Stop sound in main menu(Solved)

[Pandar]

Hi! I'm new to ren'py and a total noob.
I added some sounds in my script but when I return to the main menu, the sound doesn't stop. Do I have to add "stop sound" somewhere?

Can you show the code so it can be specific?

I'm using "The question" novel to practice. I simply added "play sound "sounds/rain.mp3"" and then "stop sound", but when I return the main menu the sound is still there.

Code: Select all

# Declare characters used by this game.
define s = Character(_("Sylvie"), color="#c8ffc8")
define m = Character(_("Me"), color="#c8c8ff")

# This is a variable that is True if you've compared a VN to a book, and False
# otherwise.
default book = False


# The game starts here.
label start:

# Start by playing some music.
play music "illurock.opus"

scene bg lecturehall
with fade

"It's only when I hear the sounds of shuffling feet and supplies being put away that I realize that the lecture's over."

"Professor Eileen's lectures are usually interesting, but today I just couldn't concentrate on it."

play sound "sounds/rain.mp3"

"I've had a lot of other thoughts on my mind...thoughts that culminate in a question."

stop sound

"It's a question that I've been meaning to ask a certain someone."

How about this? Replace the main menu textbutton into this one.

Code: Select all

textbutton _("Main Menu") action [Stop("sfx"), Start()]

Sorry for the late reply.

In the navigation screen? I copied it like that and it doesn't work.

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")

        if _in_replay:

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

        elif not main_menu:

            textbutton _("Main Menu") action [Stop("sfx"), Start()]

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

        if renpy.variant("pc") or (renpy.variant("web") and not renpy.variant("mobile")):

            ## Help isn't necessary or relevant to mobile devices.
            textbutton _("Help") action ShowMenu("help")

        if renpy.variant("pc"):

            ## The quit button is banned on iOS and unnecessary on Android and Web.
            textbutton _("Quit") action Quit(confirm=not main_menu)

Do I have to rename "sfx" to something else?

Sorry for bad english

Actually, that is just an example of the name of your sound. Replace that with your rain sound instead.

Ok sorry ahah I got this error :

While running game code:
File "renpy/common/00gamemenu.rpy", line 173, in script
$ ui.interact()
File "renpy/common/00gamemenu.rpy", line 173, in <module>
$ ui.interact()
File "renpy/common/00action_audio.rpy", line 127, in __call__
renpy.music.stop(channel=self.channel, **self.kwargs)
Exception: Audio channel u'sounds/rain.mp3' is unknown.



I can hear the rain sound in-game, so the file is in the right folder.

EDIT: solved, I created a new sfx channel.
Thanks for the replies.

add this to your screen

Code: Select all

screen navigation():
    on 'show' action Stop('sfx')

or

Code: Select all

screen navigation():
    on 'show' action Stop('sound')
