Had a feeling this would work but wasnt sure if Renpy 'knew' which bounds were transparent. Thanks for confirming!!

Just figured it out myself, and returned here to comment, lol

How will it be automatically where you want it? Could you explain please?

@@TrueMonkeyNinja Let's say, you have 1920x1080 picture of hall, where you need a button on a door. You take the whole picture, cut everything, except that door and keep the rest space transparent, so you have a small door on a 1920x1080 picture. If you use this picture for your button, it should work like a charm!

i did this but the dimensions are all messed up when i put it in the game... even though i made it match with the dimensions of the game in my art program, when i put it in, it's completely wrong??

Fckin thank you, this was more helpful than video when it comes to ingame main menu

can confirm that it works like you described. Thank you very much!

thanks! the solution of the video had no logic for me. this has much more sense.

@@genshinfiok sorry to bother you, but can you please help me? In this comment it says "Then, make a new RenPy project, find the navigation code" and i don`t understand what navigation code, under what screen?

Hi, could you explain what you mean by change the USE NAVIGATION (where is this?)

THANK YOU THIS HELPED SO MUCH!

you're a literal life saver! Fixed my problem. Thanks so much

My goat

Bro. You saved me. Thank you.

THANK YOU

I was thinking the exact same thing!! Never heard any asmrtist who says click like that 😭

Thanks, that's very encouraging to read! I'll be keeping an eye on the renpy subreddit for interesting problems to solve and maybe people will ask questions here or on my renpy hello world video. So see ya in the next guide ^^

Yo tengo el mismo problema, si pudieras ayudarme:(

@@lacuentadev Fijate en el espaciado, osea sí es como dice el del vídeo peeero, lo tienes que pegar a la izquierda, si no, el lenguaje piensa que es un "hijo" y no te lo acepta como tal. En otras palabras, fíjate que "screen navigation()" esté pegado a la izquierda.

@@lacuentadev A y también deja activado el primer "use navigation"

@@JonasSpartan Bueno, realmente resolví todo el problema al pasar el código a Atom, igualmente gracias Jsjsk

THANK YOOOU damn

Yeah it ended up being a bit quick. I should have zoomed out or something to illustrate it better. So at first my solution to prevent the image menu from showing up in the game menu was to move the content of `screen navigation` into* `screen main_menu` - where `use navigation` was written. And comment out `use navigation` in both `screen main_menu` and `screen game_menu`. The problem is that this leads to the game menu not having any navigation. My solution was to keep what I copied into `screen main_menu` but restore `screen navigation` and also undo all my original changes, restoring the text button navigation. Then I de-uncommented `use navigation` only in `screen game_menu` *moving or copying "into" something means moving/copying code into a block. you can tell what a block is by looking at indentation. `screen game_menu` has 0 spaces on its left. `tag menu` has 4 spaces on its left, meaning it is "inside" `screen game_menu`. The next block starts as soon as a line somewhere below it also has 0 spaces on its left. (This is most likely not correct Python terminology but I hope its understandable) Please let me know if it's still not 100% clear.

@@qubodupDev thank you for taking the time to write it out for me! It was really helpful and I managed to get it working smoothly 😄

I still don't know the reason why my buttons didn't work, but by mixing two different codes and through REAL luck I created working code, yay!!! Thanks so much for the tutorial!

@@wormeow what was the code?? i got the same issue and i dont want to rip every single hair off my head

​@@wormeowcould you tell me the code? I have the same issue and I don't know how to fix it

@@user-rv9gc9vm9j did you fix it ?

@@imtrappedinmydadsbasement @user-rv9gc9vm9j @raczy-3364 if you make a fullsize image only one of them will load you have to crop them

Thank you 🙏🏻

yuo are everything to me

If you can help me with this that would be really great🤕

try closing and reopening the project (dont forget to save your script!) this method worked for me, tell me if it works for you

SAMEEE

Same!! It keeps crashing my game when I delete the navigation. If you find a fix to this please let me know!

I have the same issue :(

It's quite easy. Just put: hovered [ Play("sound", "audio/soundname.mp3") ] right after Start ( ) to every button :)

@@diediedice i did this and it doesnt show any errors, the game runs, but when i hover nothing happens. What do you think the issue could be?

@@mortyxisonyt Hmm...In which folder did you put your mp3 file? Maybe try putting it into the audio folder and change "soundname.mp3" to "audio/soundname.mp3"? Also, double check that the file isn't just silence instead of the sound you wanted. Lastly it could also be that your sound is turned off (in the game settings). I hope something in here helped ^^

@@diediedice thank you for replying! I tried all but sadly for some reason it still doesn't work. I will look more into it and reply if I find a solution in case someone is struggling with the same problem

@@mortyxisonyt No problem! I'm sorry it didn't work though. Good luck with your research, I hope you find out how to fix it :))

That True is in the same line (line 306 in his case). You have to write it in the same line

@@avellox1419 Yes,Continuallty erro....

hey, idk if im too alte to this but, i had the same issue with game music, and it helped putting it in the images folder with a subfolder called music so the path was "music/buttonsound.mp3". dont ask me why, i have no clue but it solved the issue for me

Very good question. From what I found so far, RenPy can't handle different aspect ratios :| Found a forum post from 2015 saying that they want to add it one day...

what was the fix for the True statement? i have the same problem. (nvm just continue on the same line and even though it doesnt highlight it works).

i have this same problem too i need to know edit : So apparently, i need to make sure there's an start_idle and start_hover image. make sure you add "gui/" before the name of the image, and do not include the idle or hover part. and the "True action Start() needs to be in the same line as the imagebutton auto

THANK YOU, i have been struggling for two hours trying to get it to work

I have a problem on 12:21 . It says True is not a keyword argument or valid child for the box statement.

I know this is a year later but THANK YOU SO MUCH! This was just the solution I was looking for.

My guess is that you first add the image and then (below it) add the background image. Is that it? Did you save the file? What does refreshing mean? Shift-R? Restart the game.

@@qubodupDev I managed to fix the problem but I have no idea how... Haha. Thank you! Yes, sorry. English is not my first language.

I'm having the same problem! No matter what I do it doesn't show up :( Edit: just tested the other buttons similar to load and those aren't working too

@@great-white-bengal-tiger i have the same problem :(

I wondered about this as well once I was done with it all. You are completely right, this should work and save time figuring out coordinates and typing those in. I wonder how many buttons it'd take for performance to drop significantly...

@@qubodupDev So can it be done without the coordinates it is too hard for me to do since I am new to all of this?

How will this work man ?

@@esm6427 You can skip the "Crop to Content" step for the buttons (first at 5:43), and export the full layer for each button. This wil allow you to omit the the xpos and ypos values when coding it into ren'py. Exporting the full layer will inflate the file size of a PNG slightly, but it's marginal, and makes it much easier to work with, especially when they're static elements that always appear in the same place.

@@obliqueninja4961 Thank you for the reply

i wouldn't believe so. What i would do it put the buttons on the screen image and treat it the same as if it fit.

have you figured that out?

for anyone wondering: if you edited with notepad, too bad, when you use TAB or space renpy registers is as some weird language if you edit with anything remotely similar to atom, notepad ++ , that is suited for coding, press enter at the end of the previous line and your cursor will jump to where it sould be (in this block) then the best it would be to paste already written somewhere else prepared code so you dont accidentally press space etc. it often happens with screens renpy i had it many times, really annoying try to never interfere with any lines when you do stuff in screens lol

You have to write *Play* , not *play* (has to have upper case P) Does this solve it?

@@qubodupDev it did !! thanks alot!

NVM I figured it out. Instead of entering TRUE in a new line I just continued the line. The letters still didn't turn out orange but it worked
