Splash Screen Not Working

[wellsgrant]

So I now have a problem with my splash screen that didn't show up before. My splash screen use to work perfectly fine but now it doesn't. I can't really help anymore than that.

Code: Select all

label splashscreen:
    scene black
    pause 1.0

    show logo with dissolve
    pause 2.0

    scene black with dissolve
    pause 1.0

Maybe you didnt wrote "return". Or you didnt defined the "black" and the "logo" perhaps?

Code: Select all

 image black = "#000" 
image logo = "logo.png"

label splashscreen: 
scene black 
with Pause(1) 

play sound "ping.ogg" 

show logo with dissolve 
with Pause(2) 
scene black with dissolve 
with Pause(1) 

return

It seems the label is missing a return. BTW, there's no need to declare "screen black" or create a bitmap for it. That's a pre-defined screen.

I tried what you guys said I should do but the same thing still happens. I don't know if this will help but this started after I added my splash screen an image.

Code: Select all

image devmodescene:
"images/Backgrounds/Train.png"
    pause 0.1
    "images/Splash Screens/Logo.png"
    pause 0.1

This I what I added to my previous code

Code: Select all

image logo = "Splash Screens/Logo.png"

label splashscreen:
    scene black
    pause 1.0

    show logo with dissolve
    pause 2.0

    scene black with dissolve
    pause 1.0

    return

You can define images either in init time (that means not inside splash screen or any other label)

Code: Select all

init:
    image logo = "images/splashscreen/logo.png"

or putting the logo bitmap inside the images folder (or even into a subfolder inside the images folder) and then simply calling it by its name without extension.

Here's a splash screen example from one of my games (image splash.png is inside a "ui" folder that's inside the "images" folder:

Code: Select all

label splashscreen:
    scene black
    show splash:
        truecenter
    with Dissolve(1.0)
    play music "bgm/yeah.OGG" 
    scene black
    with Dissolve(2.0)
    return
    
# The game starts here.
label start:
    
    stop music fadeout 2.0
    
    scene classroom
    "Well, professor Eileen's lecture was interesting."

Maybe that is the only thing that your splashscreen is not working.

(Most important is the folder's name through adding images.)

Maybe that's not the reason, but....try to avoid a space sign in the path to the file.

Code: Select all

image logo = "Splash Screens/Logo.png"
                    ^

Ok I tried all of your suggestions and now I am getting a new error.

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but errors were detected in your script. Please correct the
errors listed below, and try again.


File "game/gui.rpy", line 2: expected statement.
    
     ^

This is my gui code

Code: Select all

label splashscreen:
    scene black
    pause 1.0
    show logo at truecenter
    with fade
    pause 2.0
    hide logo
    with dissolve
    pause 1.0
    return

An important note is that I get the error even when I delete the splashscreen code.

Maybe your line indention perhaps?

[Imperf3kt]

Your problem is line 2 of gui.rpy
Which I assume is this:

Code: Select all

image devmodescene:
"images/Backgrounds/Train.png"
    pause 0.1
    "images/Splash Screens/Logo.png"
    pause 0.1

Your indentations is incorrect, it should look like this:

Code: Select all

image devmodescene:
    "images/Backgrounds/Train.png"
    pause 0.1
    "images/Splash Screens/Logo.png"
    pause 0.1

The error is telling you it expects a statement, and in the preceding line you have an image definition, so it treats that as a block, finds no block, and says "where's the block?"

Ok I finally got it to work!! It was all my fault cause what happened was I had it to skip everything in the settings menu and it for some reason skips the splashscreen too. The error was because there was an empty space in the first line. Thank you for all of you guys' help, it is very much appreciated!
