custom preferences issues.

[Wyndstryker]

hello, I was wondering if someone can help me with this problem.

I'm trying to customize the main menu, preferences, save, etc.

while testing through, i stumbled upon a little problem. even though i can get into the main game and have the text window running smoothly and so forth. when i right click to enter the preferences, it just gives me a blank screen. however, if i try to enter the preferences through the main menu or save menu, it's fine.

the bit of code may be a bit...odd since i pretty much copy/pasted from whatever i can search for in the forums. i'm still quite unfamiliar with renpy so if anything doesn't make sense please bear with it.

Code: Select all

    # Edited Main Menu Below
label main_menu:
    
    $ ui.keymap(toggle_fullscreen = renpy.toggle_fullscreen)
    $ ui.window(style='mm_root')
    $ ui.null()

    $ ui.imagebutton("start_idle.png", "start_hover.png", clicked=ui.jumpsoutofcontext("start"), xpos=100, ypos=100)
    $ ui.imagebutton("continue_idle.png", "continue_hover.png", clicked=_intra_jumps("_load_screen", "main_game_transition"), xpos=200, ypos=200)
    $ ui.imagebutton("prefs_idle.png", "prefs_hover.png", clicked=_intra_jumps("_prefs_screen","main_game_transition"), xpos=300, ypos=300)
    $ ui.imagebutton("quit_idle.png", "quit_hover.png", clicked=ui.jumps("_quit"), xpos=400, ypos=400)
  
    $ ui.interact(suppress_overlay=True,
                         suppress_underlay=True,
                         mouse="mainmenu")
    
    #Edited Game Menu Below
label game_menu:
    
    $ ui.keymap(toggle_fullscreen = renpy.toggle_fullscreen)
    $ ui.window(style='gm_root')
    $ ui.null()
    
    $ ui.interact(suppress_overlay=True,
                         suppress_underlay=True,
                         mouse="gamemenu")
                         

    
init:
        #Game Menu Positions and Button Edits        
        
    $ config.game_menu_positions = {
        'Return' : dict(xpos=400, ypos=400, xanchor='left', yanchor='top'),
        'Begin Skipping' : dict(xpos=500, ypos=300, xanchor='left', yanchor='top'),
        'Preferences' : dict(xpos=450, ypos=430, xanchor='left', yanchor='top'),
        'Save Game' : dict(xpos=500, ypos=460, xanchor='left', yanchor='top'),
        'Load Game' : dict(xpos=550, ypos=490, xanchor='left', yanchor='top'),
        'Main Menu' : dict(xpos=600, ypos=520, xanchor='left', yanchor='top'),
        'Quit' : dict(xpos=650, ypos=550, xanchor='left', yanchor='top'),
        }
        
        #Return Buttons
    $ config.image_buttons["Return"]=(
    "return_idle.png",
    "return_hover.png",
    "return_sel_idle.png",
    "return_sel_hover.png",
    "return_disable.png",)

        #Begin Skip Buttons
    $ config.image_buttons["Begin Skipping"]=(
    "skip_idle.png",
    "skip_hover.png",
    "skip_sel_idle.png",
    "skip_sel_hover.png",
    "skip_disable.png",)

#the button code continues on but modified for each button in the game menu. cut it off here to save some space.

If you really want to use the codes, you can use this low quality fix until someone else who is actually a programmer comes along.

Put this code:

Code: Select all

$ ui.textbutton("",clicked=_intra_jumps("_load_screen", "main_game_transition"),hovered =_intra_jumps("_load_screen", "main_game_transition"),xminimum=800, yminimum=600)

in this part of your code

Code: Select all

    #Edited Game Menu Below
label game_menu:
    
    $ ui.keymap(toggle_fullscreen = renpy.toggle_fullscreen)
    $ ui.window(style='gm_root')
    <PASTE HERE>
    $ ui.null()
    
    $ ui.interact(suppress_overlay=True,
                         suppress_underlay=True,
                         mouse="gamemenu")
 

Hope it helps.

thanks alot! it works and will work as a temporary fix as you said.

If you're actually okay with that then you might as well remove this part of the code

Code: Select all

 #Edited Game Menu Below
label game_menu:
    
    $ ui.keymap(toggle_fullscreen = renpy.toggle_fullscreen)
    $ ui.window(style='gm_root')
    <You might have pasted the code I posted here, so delete it as well>
    $ ui.null()
    
    $ ui.interact(suppress_overlay=True,
                         suppress_underlay=True,
                         mouse="gamemenu")

Doing this will get you straight into the save screen when you right click.

When you right-click, its seems the game will jump to the label game_menu which previously have only a window(blank screen). The ui.interact will then stop you from moving on so you end up stuck with the blank screen. I think you should only create the label game_menu if you actually want to jump to a custom screen (which is currently your blank screen)
