Animated background stops animating upon loading a save game

#1 Post by fishghost »

We're trying to have animated backgrounds in our game, and are using webm files to accomplish this. It's all working well and good until I tried to load a save game file from the middle of one of these scenes. The animation plays for a second, and then stops looping. Any advice?

Here's the code I'm using for this:

Defined at the start of the game:

image bus_background = Movie(play="images/bus_background.webm", loop=True)

And then when the scene is called:

scene bus_background

Try to use 'show' instead of 'scene', but I dunno, just guess. In the docs it never quote the use as a scene and older releases can't at all.
If you want to debate on a reply I gave to your posts, please QUOTE ME or i'll not be notified about. << now red so probably you'll see it.

10 ? "RENPY"
20 GOTO 10

RUN

Unfortunately running into the same issue with 'show'.

Reconstructing the animation in engine via ATL (instead of loading in a video) fixed the issue.
