How to get rid of some kind of transition at game start?

[Lumi Violet]

I'm pretty new to ren'py, especially the newest version, so forgive me if this is a bad or easily answered question. I'd like to be more specific but I don't know enough to be more specific or how to find the answer to this question on my own.

I created a new project, but I've noticed that every time you start the game there's some kind of transition where the text box appears in a fading sort of way. This is a bit of a problem for me, because I had the game start with text that isn't using the textbox. It opens looking like this: https://i.imgur.com/40eIENP.gif

I put text that doesn't use the textbox at the start of the game using this code (which worked in a previous version of ren'py without issue):

Code: Select all

define O = Character(None,
                            what_size=20,
                            what_outlines=[(3, "#000000", 0, 0)],
                            what_layout="subtitle",
                            what_xalign=0.5,
                            what_text_align=0.5,
                            window_background=None,
                            window_yminimum=0,
                            window_xfill=False,
                            window_xalign=0.5,
                            window_yalign=0.5)

This is the simple code that I have put for the game start.

Code: Select all

label start:
    
    scene black
    
    O "test"

As far as I can tell, there's some kind of default textbox fade in transition (sorry if using the wrong words), that appears when the game starts, but I don't understand why or how to stop it. This is what it looks like if you have normal textbox text at the start of the game. https://i.imgur.com/awRqUO0.gif. Again, sorry if this is a simple/silly question to be asking, I just can't find a way to deal with it with how I'm searching for it.

Basically what I mean is that for some reason the textbox is set to by default when the games starts, and I have no idea where to locate where that's programmed or how to change it.

find in options.rpy (~ 108th line):

Code: Select all

define config.window = "auto"

and try to change it

Code: Select all

define config.window = "hide"

I believe I have a similar problem but I can not see the gif posted by the original poster.

On each new scene, say 'Scene black', the textbox blinks in and out of existence, when it should not be there. I don't understand what is causing it, but everything started when I created a custom textbox. When I get home, I will try to see if the above solution applies for me too, if not will post a new request for help thread, with more detail.

@IrinaLazareva: This seems to solve my problem. Thank you for your help.
