Navigation Menu Help?

[jacobjumper]

How would I change the original navigation menu to a pop up style where it appears in the middle of the screen? I know it's really basic but I'm stuck...

[akemicchi]

This is for the title menu, right? Open up your screen.rpy and scroll down to screen main_menu. There should be a frame block there. Change xalign and yalign to 0.5 like so:

Code: Select all

    # The main menu buttons.
    frame:
        style_group "mm"
        xalign 0.5
        yalign 0.5

I'm not sure what you mean by pop-up style though, so tell me if this isn't what you wanted. :)

[jacobjumper]

Umm.. it kind of helped. I would however like to know how to get rid of the default stuff. That would help me so much

[akemicchi]

'Default stuff'? I'm not sure what you mean. Do you mean the buttons themselves? Change the text? Change the look entirely? I can't really imagine you're asking to get rid of the main menu, because how can players choose to start the game? xD

[jacobjumper]

See there? And I planned on redesigning it with custom images.

[akemicchi]

Oh! Why don't you just hide everything with a comment, then? (Starting every line with #) Rather, hiding/deleting the line use file_picker in the screen save and screen load?

[jacobjumper]

Everything?

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
  File "renpy/common/_layout/screen_load_save.rpym", line 17, in script
  File "game/screens.rpy", line 318, in python
Exception: Screen u'navigation' is not known.

It gives me a lot of errors. Is there anyway I can just change it so that code doesn't appear? Sorry if I seem like an idiot...

[akemicchi]

No no no, not everything! Sorry, that's bad advice! Hahaha. ;;; Put everything back.

Just hide use file_picker from screen save and screen load. Does that work? Just add a # in front of it so you can uncomment it later just in case something wrong happens. (Like deleting everything, haha, don't do that x'D)

[jacobjumper]

Oh my goodness it worked thank you! !

[akemicchi]

No problem! Glad it worked, haha.
