Imagemap menus are broken in Ren'Py 6.17.3
I have a menu that uses imagemaps in my game. However, when I loaded the latest version of Ren'Py, it looked like the attached image; selectable areas were out of alignment. What's going on?

It should be inside your projects game folder... once you see the "cache" folder, delete all the images inside...

Can you attach here a barebone project containing only your imagemap GUI so we can take a look at it?
Edit:
I tried opening a couple of old and new projects relying heavily on imagemaps and they all seem to work fine...

Re: Imagemap menus are broken in Ren'Py 6.17.3
Interesting... I have this problem as well with my main menu, and thought i'd made a mistake in positioning the hotspots. But when i change them (by first locating their exact positions through developer mode), this mis-alignment keeps occurring, and sometimes cropping of part of the image that's supposed to go inside the hotspot…
Edit: emptying the cache didn't make any difference, at least for me.
Edit2: adding this config variable helped

Code: Select all
config.imagemap_cache = False

I have the same problem happening with my game... and all the codes are correct. I have no idea what's going on!
I also deleted my cache, and it didn't help. The weird thing with mine is... there's weird floating bars and you have to click on those rather than the actual button itself.

Re: Imagemap menus are broken in Ren'Py 6.17.3
Look for two buttons on your Launcher interface. The first is under the words 'Open Directory' and is named 'Game'. This button will open the game folder of the current project. Your 'cache' folder should be there. Open the cache folder and send its old content (it will look like image strips with text from your old menu) to the trash.Ivlivs wrote:Can't find it.
The second button is under the words 'Navigate script' and it's named 'Delete Persistent'. Use it before running your game again.
No, sorry! You must be mistaking me for someone else.

Re: Imagemap menus are broken in Ren'Py 6.17.3
Someone needs to assemble and post a stripped GUI only version here so we can take a look at it and isolate the problem because, I have 15 different projects here using Imagemap GUI... some of which are made using different versions of Ren'py and all of them are working properly on the latest Ren'py.
Here's another screenshot showing everything in place...
Anyway, the contents of the Cache should look something like this where your resources are conveniently cached (appearance depends on how your Imagemap graphic and how it is set)...

I have no cache, and deleting persistent data does nothing.Donmai wrote:Look for two buttons on your Launcher interface. The first is under the words 'Open Directory' and is named 'Game'.

I've been forced to use an earlier version until this is sorted out. I'm convinced that it's a bug, because I only encounter this problem with the latest release -- earlier releases don't do this at all.

Upload a minimal ren'py project (With just an imagemap, all actions being NullAction() etc.) demonstrating the issue.
