How to fade out main menu music when click in start game

[pink_cherry]

Hi everyone... I'm new here and I tried to find this question in other topics but I couldn't.

So what I want to do is to put a background music in the main menu that continues looping and then, when player clicks on 'start game', the music fades out and stops.

I tried using this...

config.main_menu_music = "bgm1.mp3"

but when I start a new game, the music keeps playing until it finishes

I know this question could be foolish, but it's my first time using ren'py

Thanks in advance...

I don't really know what you want to do. Fade out the music or make it stop?
In anycase, there's this old trick:

Code: Select all

python hide:
        if renpy.sound.is_playing(channel=7):
            renpy.music.stop()

Stops all the musics.

I might be a little outdated, wasn't it supposed to be written

Code: Select all

library.main_menu_music = "bgm1.mp3"

instead ?

You're a little outdated. A while back, I merged together config. and library., with config. being the preferred way of doing things.

Just have the first line in the script of the game proper be something like
$renpy.music.stop(fadeout = 0.5) [Please doublecheck exact syntax as I am quoting this naked]

Thank you all for the help...

But as I dig more into ren'py more doubts come out...

This time I found the code to change the image buttons and labels

Code: Select all

init:
    python:
        config.image_buttons["Save Game"] = (
            "but_idle.png",
            "but_hover.png",
            "but_sel_idle.png",
            "but_sel_hover.png",
            "but_disable.png")

        config.image_labels["Music Volume"] = "lab_music_volume.png" 

The problem I have...(this is going to sound totally stupid...) ...but, where am I supposed to put in this code...in script.rpy? options.rpy? or where?...

Sorry for my stupid questions

Indeed it was a stupid question

Ok...I managed to find out my mistake and how to correct it...

However...if I get stucked again with something I'll post it...
