Main menu help (Solved)
I don't know that much about coding at all and can understand a bit of what I learn from the tutorial Ren'py comes with. so a more basic explanation might be more helpful to me since Ren'Py is also my first time dealing with coding at all.
First I was looking to set up the main menu Layout a little differently than how it is. I've seen this, http://www.renpy.org/wiki/renpy/doc/reference/Layouts , page and a lot of it is just... confusing to me. I'd also like to add two other choice options, one a CG gallery, and the other a screen that would allow a player to look over some basic information about the main characters. For the CG Gallery I have seen this, http://www.renpy.org/wiki/renpy/doc/coo ... CG_Gallery , But again am having a hard time understanding all the coding of it..
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Main menu help
Alright, I myself don't understand the CG code that well, but I can do something about the main menu.
You have 3 layout styles, which can be changed in screens.rpy
This is the general style, as in "classic" If you want to change positioning of the options, just change the code as needed.
This is the 2nd style, the across button style. The difference between the two is the box. The top one uses vbox(v as in vertical) and this one uses hbox (h as in horizontal) They also need different placements to have all the buttons fiton the screen.
And this is an imagemap menu. What makes this one special is that it uses an image to design the menu. The hotspots are where the options are located, that way someone can select them. Main menu imagemaps need at least two images: a ground (The base image) and a hover (What's shown when the mouse is over an option.
If you need more clarification, feel free to say

Re: Main menu help
Oh yeah, to add options just add them to the main menu:
Just make sure to label the screens poroperly so that it can jump properly between screens. And as for your basic info one...if it's going to be looked at in-game, then you might want to read this
Code: Select all
hotspot (585,278,54,22) action Start()
hotspot (100,155,94,22) action ShowMenu("load")
hotspot (100,107,78,22) action ShowMenu("preferences")
hotspot (100,200,78,22) action ShowMenu("extras")
hotspot (83,490,118,22) action Quit(confirm=False)

Re: Main menu help
Here's a really handy walkthrough of the CG gallery code!
Re: Main menu help
I have the Main menu buttons moved around how I like them now, so there isn't a problem anymore with that thank you
As for the CG gallery... It won't work. I've tried following what was said in there in reference to getting the code to work and all I keep getting is,
That's how the code turned out
What do I have to do to 'define' it?

Re: Main menu help
Try adding this to your game folder and see what happens

I can't find the label in order to run it, and I don't exactly know how to make one that would work >.<..

Re: Main menu help
Wait, so you got the same error after putting the file inside your game folder, or did you just look through the code?Ai Makai wrote:I can't find the label in order to run it, and I don't exactly know how to make one that would work >.<..

Re: Main menu help
No this time it just can't connect the button label from the main menu to the file you sent me, that's what I meant by label. Sorry for not being clear.

Re: Main menu help
You weren't supposed to copy your CG gallery code into that file. All the file was supposed to do was define what you needed. Move your CG code BACK to where you had it and leave that file intact.Ai Makai wrote:No this time it just can't connect the button label from the main menu to the file you sent me, that's what I meant by label.
