[solved] Having the main menu music not loop?

[SpicyMayo1429]

I there a way to make the main menu music not loop? I wanna do something similar to the video game Wonder Boy: the Dragon's Trap opening where it's just a short piece (less than 30 seconds) that plays upon entering the main menu.

what is your code so we can help you better

you can can add loop = False depend one your code

this depend on how you putting your code and how you are using it

this is one way or you put stop music or stop sound as well where you want it to end

Partial Playback

Ren'Py supports partial of audio files. This is done by putting a playback specification, enclosed in angle brackets, at the start of the file. The partial playback specification should consist of alternating property name and value pairs, with every thing separated by spaces.

The values are always interpreted as seconds from the start of the file. The three properties are:

from
Specifies the position in the file at which the first play-through begins playing. (This defaults to 0.0 seconds.)
to
Specifies the position in the file at which the file ends playing. (This defaults to the full duration of the file.)
loop
Specifies the position in the file at which the second and later play-throughs begin playing. (This defaults to the start time given by from if specified, or to the start of the file.)

For example:

Code: Select all

play music "<from 5 to 15.5>waves.opus"

will play 10.5 seconds of waves.opus, starting at the 5 second mark. The statement:

Code: Select all

play music "<loop 6.333>song.opus"

will play song.opus all the way through once, then loop back to th

As it's related to the main menu, probably using the config.main_menu_music variable.
So doing what Ray mentioned and using the before_main_menu label, (I can't remember what the no loop comment is, but it should be somewhere in the docs)

Code: Select all

label before_main_menu:
    play music 'song.mp3' loop False
    return

Sorry if I make no sense!
