Ren'Py Move to the main menu and the menu to save, language choice

[Black Ram oss]

On Ren'Py what is the code to print the version of the game and to move to the main menu and the menu to save?

How do I add the language choice in the settings?

On Ren'Py what is the code to print the version of the game

label whatever:
    $ print config.version

But something tell me that, in fact, what you want is not to print the version of the game.
So, what do you mean by "print", and when do you want it to appear ?

and to move to the main menu

label whatever:
    $ renpy.full_restart()

It's one way to move to the main menu. But do you really wanted it to restart the game, I can't say. So, perhaps that telling us from where you want to move to the main menu, and to do what, will lead to a more accurate answer.

and the menu to save?

At what moment ? Oh, and save what anyway ?

How do I add the language choice in the settings?

in this case:

label temporary_end_story:
    "This is the temporary end (current version:config.version). You'll have to wait new update."
    return

I have also used this method, but I think that on android it gives problems.
Can be used at different moment even after a "call"

frame:

    style_prefix "pref"

    has vbox


    label _("Language")

    textbutton "English" action Language(None)

    textbutton "......." action Language("......")

I tried it, but it doesn't appear in the settings
I know I have to put it on screens, but I don't know when.

You have to generate a language in the renpy menu first.

You have to generate a language in the renpy menu first.

if you mean when ren'py creates the folders with the translations in "tl": yes I did, but it doesn't automatically add the possibility to combine language in the settings.

 

[scrumbles]

Edit game\screens.rpy and add the language box, as explained in Havenest's guide (it's near the end of SPOILER: 3. Optimization). Or create a custom screen.

in this case:

label temporary_end_story:
    "This is the temporary end (current version:config.version). You'll have to wait new update."
    return

Well, you do like for any other variables :

label temporary_end_story:
    "This is the temporary end (current version: [config.version]). You'll have to wait new update."
    return

Obviously, but seem to be said, you've first to update the "option.rpy" file for config.version to be accurate.

I have also used this method, but I think that on android it gives problems.

It's not impossible, but I doubt.

Can be used at different moment even after a "call"

Which still don't explain why you want to go back to the main menu ; or what you're trying to achieve by doing this. Is it to end the play at the end of the update (after you've "print the version" above), is it to offer the possibility to save at a given moment ? Is it for something else ?

Same than above. It don't explain what you want to save, nor why you want to do it.

I need it at the end of the current version to encourage the user to save.
but I'm not sure I want to encourage the user to save at that moment, because I would only use that screen in the first (introductory) beta and delete it in the second update

return to the main menu:
the proper way would be $ renpy.run(MainMenu(confirm=False))
the fast way $ MainMenu(confirm=False)()
to save, as above:
proper $ renpy.run(ShowMenu('save'))
or $ ShowMenu('save')()
and btw, there is no restart on Android.

he left this code to help someone else in the same situation in the future:

# Temporary end of the story (then play other stories)
label temporary_end_story:
    "This is the temporary end (current version: [config.version]). You'll have to wait new update."
    return

# Temporary end of the game
label temporary_end_game:
    #TODO: immagine To be continue
    call temporary_end_story
    $ old_version = config.version
    "Save the game now and not later."
    $ ShowMenu('save')()

    if (old_version == config.version):
        "Pressing ENTER will return to the Main Menu."
        $ renpy.run(MainMenu(confirm=False))
    return
