before_main_menu doesn't work as intended. [SOLVED]

#1 Post by TheKiwi »

In the past, I would use before_main_menu to do things like fadein music or add animations. Now, when I use it, it completely SKIPS the main menu and goes straight to the first scene!
This is ALL I've done.

Code: Select all

label before_main_menu:
    play music "music/Endless Space.mp3" fadein 5.0
At least the music fades in, but yeah. Completely skips main menu. I tried using "splashscreen" as well, but it does the same thing. Am I missing something?

I *did* find a workaround, but it involves making an emptytext character and showing the main menu manually, and adding modal = True to it.
