Imagemap to Screen Converter

[PyTom]

I've put together a quick web service that converts old-style imagemap-based Ren'Py layouts to new-style screens. You can access it at:

http://dev.renpy.org:6112

This is totally experimental - I don't have any imagemaps to test with, so I haven't even tried the generated code. It's also pretty fragile - it works on the examples I tried it on, but it will likely crash horribly on more complex code.

It's also running on my home PC - so it may go up and down. (Especially when I upgrade to the new ubuntu.) If you need it and it's not there, bug me.

NO WAY! No more guessing coordinates???

[PyTom]

Well, the image location picker is what helps with guessing coordinates. I'm also considering a graphical screen maker, but that probably won't be for a while.

[Melkoshi]

Seems to be down atm, but I really like this idea! I'm still having a hard time getting used to the new screen language, so this will kinda help me see how a > b.

[PyTom]

Ah, I forgot to poke the hole in my firewall. It should be up now.

This very convenient... but I did encountered some bumps...

I have this code before...

Code: Select all

layout.imagemap_preferences(
        "gui/preferences_ground.png",
        "gui/preferences_idle.png",
        "gui/preferences_hover.png",
        "gui/preferences_selected_idle.png",
        "gui/preferences_selected_hover.png",
        [
            (340, 91, 434, 140, "Window"),
            (454, 91, 547, 140, "Fullscreen"),
            (340, 190, 434, 237, "None"),
            (454, 190, 547, 237, "All"),
            (73, 494, 255, 544, "Joystick"),
            (340, 289, 434, 366, "Stop Skipping"),
            (454, 289, 547, 366, "Keep Skipping"),
            (340, 388, 434, 435, "Seen Messages"),
            (454, 388, 547, 435, "All Messages"),
            (375, 456, 513, 516, "Begin Skipping"),
            (55, 84, 275, 111, "Music Volume"),
            (55, 146, 275, 173, "Sound Volume"),
            (55, 208, 275, 235, "Voice Volume"),
            (55, 393, 275, 419, "Auto-Forward Time"),
            (55, 326, 275, 353, "Text Speed"),
            (607, 244, 758, 289, "Return"),
            (607, 298, 758, 342, "Save Game"),
            (607, 352, 758, 397, "Load Game"),
            (607, 406, 758, 450, "Preferences"),
            (607, 460, 758, 504, "Main Menu"),
            (607, 514, 758, 559, "Quit"),
            ])  

Then I got this code...

Code: Select all

screen preferences:
    tag menu

    imagemap:
        ground 'gui/preferences_ground.png'
        idle 'gui/preferences_idle.png'
        hover 'gui/preferences_hover.png'
        selected_idle 'gui/preferences_selected_idle.png'
        selected_hover 'gui/preferences_selected_hover.png'

        hotspot (340, 91, 94, 49) action Preference('display', 'window')
        hotspot (454, 91, 93, 49) action Preference('display', 'fullscreen')
        hotspot (340, 190, 94, 47) action Preference('transitions', 'none')
        hotspot (454, 190, 93, 47) action Preference('transitions', 'all')
        hotspot (73, 494, 182, 50) action Preference('joystick')
        hotspot (340, 289, 94, 77) action Preference('after choices', 'stop')
        hotspot (454, 289, 93, 77) action Preference('after choices', 'skip')
        hotspot (340, 388, 94, 47) action Preference('skip', 'seen')
        hotspot (454, 388, 93, 47) action Preference('skip', 'all')
        hotspot (375, 456, 138, 60) action Preference('begin skipping')
        hotspot (55, 84, 220, 27) action Preference('music volume')
        hotspot (55, 146, 220, 27) action Preference('sound volume')
        hotspot (55, 208, 220, 27) action Preference('voice volume')
        hotspot (55, 393, 220, 26) action Preference('auto-forward time')
        hotspot (55, 326, 220, 27) action Preference('text speed')
        hotspot (607, 244, 151, 45) action Return()
        hotspot (607, 298, 151, 44) action ShowMenu('save')
        hotspot (607, 352, 151, 45) action ShowMenu('load')
        hotspot (607, 406, 151, 44) action ShowMenu('preferences')
        hotspot (607, 460, 151, 44) action MainMenu()
        hotspot (607, 514, 151, 45) action Quit()

The preferences is loading properly except the sliders are no longer functioning and when you attempt to click it or move it you get this error...

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

Ren'Py Version: Ren'Py 6.11.0l

Please help...

"Puppy eyes" (Sits down like a good puppy)

[sake-bento]

I tried converting the main menu, and it worked beautifully save for the "Help" button. It calls action Start('Help') instead of opening up the help file that comes packaged with the default game.
Figured out you need to change the line to action Help()

The preferences screen doesn't seem to use the "ground" image supplied. If I access the preferences from the main menu, things like "save" and "main" use the idle image instead of the ground image.
Edit: Added as a bug report, since I think it's Ren'py and not the converter.

Is there a way to make a background image for the main menu that sticks when I access other screens? My yes_no screen doesn't cover the entire screen (it looks like a popup window), so when I try to close the game from the main menu, the background defaults to the grey checkerboard. I'd like the background for main menu to stay when the yes_no prompt appears.

And a quick bug report for the converter: it outputs

Code: Select all

Preference('begin skipping)

instead of

Code: Select all

Preference('begin skipping')

Works in such a lovely way on everything else, and this has made things so much easier on me. Thank you very much!

[DaFool]

I have a silly question... why is it when I replace my layout.imagemap_main_menu (which works) with the screen main_menu, the game just ignores the menu and proceeds directly to start? I have removed all reference from theme roundrect and have tried init:, init-2, and just plain top-level indentations for screen main_menu.

[backansi]

Huh? The Link is broken.

[tpgames]

It may be that he upgraded to the new Ubuntu and the link no longer works. I tried it just now because I found some code that uses the old ren'py I think, but not sure, as I can't remember what the old stuff looked like. I'm just not running on all cylinders which was why I was going to try it in the first place. I miss Ubuntu and hope to get my Ubuntu computer with the new used mobo as soon as the weather warms up a little.

[PyTom]

I've put this back up. The problem is stupid - I don't really want to find a permanent place to host this, so it just runs on my desktop, and when I reboot, it stops working until I restart it.

[tpgames]

Thanks for putting it back up. I realized that I was looking at lines I forgot to delete which made my code 100% new with a couple lines of old in two different places that didn't belong at all. But, I'm sure others still trying to get their scripts caught up, will find it useful.

[chensterrain]

Sorry for bumping an old topic, but is there any way this could be put back up? (unless it already is up, and it's just down because it's late in the US sorry!)

[PyTom]

It's back up.

(Memo to self, for next time - this lives in /home/tom/2010/imconvert)
