Additional "aftersplash" screen with imagemap causing errors

[UnitedAIRWAYS]

Hello, in my renpy game I've added additional screen with age verification imagemap. If user confirms s/he's adult, the game proceeds to main_menu screen. If not, it quits. The screen shows up automatically after splashscreen. However, it causes many problems. Let me point them out.
- main_menu music (set up through options.rpy) doesn't play at all. In-game music works just fine.
- When I start my game (either by Start() or ShowMenu('start')), a slim bar at the bottom of the screen (with back, prefs, quit etc buttons) doesn't show up. It's just not here.
- While game scripts runs, I cannot open game_menu/quick_menu by clicking Escape button as it normally works.
Clearly age verification screen is causing all of this mishap. Please help me resolve this, I'm stuck. I can provide quality memes as a reward.

Splashscreen (in script.rpy)

Code: Select all

label splashscreen:

   show splash image with fadesplashscreen
   with Pause(3.0)
   hide presplash with dissolve

call screen constent with dissolve

Age verification screen (in screens.rpy)

Code: Select all

screen constent():


        imagemap:

            idle "18idle.png"
            hover "18hover.png"
            ground "18ground.png"


            hotspot (x,x,x,x) action ShowMenu("main_menu") 
            hotspot (x,x,x,x) action Quit(confirm=None)

Main menu screen

Code: Select all

    tag menu

    imagemap:


        idle "mainmenuidle.png"
        hover "mainmenuhover.png"
        ground "mainmenuground.png"


        hotspot (x,x,x,x) action ShowMenu('start')
        hotspot (x,x,x,x) action ShowMenu('load')
        hotspot (x,x,x,x) action ShowMenu('preferences')
        hotspot (x,x,x,x) action ShowMenu('about')
        hotspot (x,x,x,x) action ShowMenu('help')

        hotspot (x,x,x,x) action Quit('quit')
        hotspot (x,x,x,x) action OpenURL("https://xxxx/")

The issue is that you must return from splashcreen label to enter to main menu.
So, the action in your constent screen should be Return() to just return from called screen. Then the splashscreen should be

Code: Select all

label splashscreen:

   show splash image with fadesplashscreen
   with Pause(3.0)
   hide presplash with dissolve

   call screen constent with dissolve
   # here you'll return from the screen
   return # this will return you from splashscreen to main menu

Solved music issue, but unfortunately escape button and bottom bar is still the same:(
I've changed the following using your help:

Code: Select all

label splashscreen:

   show splash image with fadesplashscreen
   with Pause(3.0)
   hide presplash with dissolve

   call screen constent with dissolve
   return

screen main_menu():

    tag menu

    imagemap:


        idle "mainmenuidle.png"
        hover "mainmenuhover.png"
        ground "mainmenuground.png"


        hotspot (x,x,x,x) action ShowMenu('start')
        hotspot (x,x,x,x) action ShowMenu('load')
        hotspot (x,x,x,x) action ShowMenu('preferences')
        hotspot (x,x,x,x) action ShowMenu('about')
        hotspot (x,x,x,x) action ShowMenu('help')

        hotspot (x,x,x,x) action Quit('quit')
        hotspot (x,x,x,x) action OpenURL("https://xxxx/")

screen constent():


        imagemap:

            idle "18idle.png"
            hover "18hover.png"
            ground "18ground.png"


            hotspot (x,x,x,x) action Return()
            hotspot (x,x,x,x) action Quit(confirm=None)

Just changed ShowMenu('start') to Start() and now all works like a charm. You're the best Alex!
