I have some problems with the save menu

[celes91]

I changed the size of the text (of dialogues) but menu text is too big. And the save boxes are too big, I can't click on "preferences", or "save" cause it's "covered" by these boxes. What can I do?

(sorry for my english!)

If you want to make a custom save menu with your own images and your own font, I highly recommend making an imagemap! I wrote a thorough tutorial series for making imagemaps for all of the game menus in Ren'Py (main menu, preferences menu, save/load menu, etc.). You can find it here!

In my opinion, using imagemap coding is much easier than trying to change the default coding. Imagemaps allow you to completely customize the menu, so you get exactly the look you want. Give it a try!

I'm sorry but it seems pretty hard to do! I like the menu style, I just want to adjust save boxes size!
(I'm a beginner with this program and don't know much about codes!)

in file screen.rpy find screen navigation():

Code: Select all

        textbutton _("Return") action Return()
        textbutton _("Preferences") action ShowMenu("preferences")
        textbutton _("Save Game") action ShowMenu("save")
        textbutton _("Load Game") action ShowMenu("load")
        textbutton _("Main Menu") action MainMenu()
        textbutton _("Help") action Help()
        textbutton _("Quit") action Quit()

and try to change:

Code: Select all

        textbutton _("Return") text_size (10) action Return()
        textbutton _("Preferences") text_size (10) action ShowMenu("preferences")
        textbutton _("Save Game") text_size (10) action ShowMenu("save")
        textbutton _("Load Game") text_size (10) action ShowMenu("load")
        textbutton _("Main Menu") text_size (10) action MainMenu()
        textbutton _("Help") text_size (10) action Help()
        textbutton _("Quit") text_size (10) action Quit()

(where instead of 10 it is possible to set any size)

OR (!)

in screen file_picker():
replace:

Code: Select all

        $ rows = 5

to

Code: Select all

        $ rows = 2
