Imagemap Auto Error Help [Solved]

[SilverSnow]

Hi! I tried using the imagemap auto function to try and facilitate things. I moved all screen elements under a subfolder in the gui and implemented the code as written and shown here.

Code: Select all

screen help():

    tag menu

    imagemap:
        auto "gui/help/help_%s.png"

        cache False
        alpha False

        hotspot (376, 120, 110, 38) action Start()
        hotspot (377, 164, 108, 36) action ShowMenu("load")
        hotspot (367, 207, 130, 33) action Return()
        hotspot (367, 248, 133, 36) action Quit(confirm=not main_menu)

Code: Select all

define config.imagemap_auto_function = True

This, however, resulted in an error.

Code: Select all

```
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

Would someone please point out what I did wrong? Thank you in advance.

you used the config variable wrong, it should be a function and not a boolean like True or False, you don't need to tamper with it... just remove that line -> `define config.imagemap_auto_function = True`, and place all the images starting with `help_` inside the `image` folder. For me, I'll try moving first the images without any sub-folders and use the images directly without sub dirs like `"help_%s.png"`just to see if the auto-mapping really works...

That did the trick! Just to be certain I applied the same code to the rest, and they all work smoothly now. Thank you!
