Overlay issue in 6.99

[DesertFox]

I'm experiencing a hiccup with regards to the overlay layer in 6.99. Previously, using the below coding, an image was overlaid at all scenarios that didn't include a screen. This was mainly for any dialogue sequences, the splashscreen sequence and one or two other scenes. Since updating to 6.99, this doesn't happen anymore. I wondered if anything was changed that would have affected this.

Code: Select all

init python:
	def overlay():
	        if orange:
	            ui.image ("monitor")
	        else:
	            ui.image ("monitor")
	config.overlay_functions.append(overlay)

screen quick_menu():
	if main_menu: #or renpy.get_screen("preferences") or renpy.get_screen("save") or renpy.get_screen("load"):
        	add "monitor"

Try update the renpy to nightly version.

Maybe call your function something other than overlay since that word is used for layers and bunch of other things?
No clue if that will help, but just tossing out an idea.

Tried both suggestions. No luck I'm afraid.

For the record, PyTom opened an issue about this thread on github so it should get fixed.

Thanks for letting me know. I'll wait to hear more.

Is this issue occurring outside of a splashscreen? I did add code to 6.99.12 to disable overlays during splash, now that the quick menu is part of an overlay screen.

It mainly occurs in the splashscreen, in a screen called after that to determine styling, and then in a label that continues until a return to the main menu. Nearly all other screens are covered by quick_menu, which also calls the image.

Code: Select all

label splashscreen:
	#splash elements
	call screen pretheme()

screen pretheme():
	#Variables are set
	#A button jumps to splashcontinue

label splashcontinue:
	#splash elements
	return

Can you try:

define config.splashscreen_suppress_overlay = False

Can you try:

define config.splashscreen_suppress_overlay = False

Yes, that's working fine now. Out of interest, why the move to disable overlays in splash?

There's now something called an overlay screen, which is a screen that is shown whenever an overlay is. We generally don't want overlays in the splashscreen, I think - it's for presenting company logos like that, and not for game text. (For example, we can't save in the splashscreen, or get to the preferences, either.)
