[SOLVED] Main Menu Slideshow

[galadain]

I like to have a rotating slideshow of images for the main menu background vs a single static image. Maybe have each background on the screen for a few seconds then switch to the next background. Any suggestions on how to accomplish this?

You can use ATL to define one image that allows transitions to several different images, see examples in document: https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/atl.html

Documentation can be a bit daunting. Figured it out by creating a custom_atl.rpy file with the following:

Code: Select all

image mainmenu_bg:
   "mmbg_null.png" with dissolve
   2.0
   "mmbg_1.png" with dissolve
   2.0
   "mmbg_2.png" with dissolve
   2.0
   "mmbg_3.png" with dissolve
   2.0
   "mmbg_4.png" with dissolve
   2.0
   "mmbg_3.png" with dissolve
   2.0
   "mmbg_2.png" with dissolve
   2.0
   "mmbg_1.png" with dissolve
   2.0
   repeat

Then just changed gui.rpy from

Code: Select all

define gui.main_menu_background = "gui/game_menu.png"

to

Code: Select all

define gui.main_menu_background = "mainmenu_bg"
