  • New Menu trouble?

    From Nodoka Hanamura@21:2/106 to All on Tue Oct 29 10:58:00 2019
    I'm having a bit of trouble with adding new menus - namely two issues.

    First of all, the menus aren't clearing the screen when they're being called, causing them to not appear as intended.

    Second of all, the menus seem to have this issue where they carry over their background colors into other menus, even those I haven't touched. I don't
    even know where to begin with explaining it in detail.

    I put (pipe)CL at the beginning of my ANSIs, as that's the pipe code to tell Mystic to clear the screen. It makes them look a little weird in PabloDraw, so it tends to be one of the last modifications I do.

    Do you have that code in there?

    Second of all, the menus seem to have this issue where they carry over their background colors into other menus, even those I haven't touched.

    I think that's a reason why most every bit of ANSI starts with some sort of foreground and background codes. It sounds like you have menus or prompts
    that don't have a pipe code in the 16 to 22 range.

    But if you haven't touched things, it does seem kinda odd.

    Either putting | CL (no space between | and CL) at the beginning of the file (top left), or the other way, I *think*, is a menu command with something
    like:

    | CL|DFansi.ans (no spaces in that, Mystic wouldn't let me post | and CL)

    replacing ansi.ans with the name of the ansi in the /text directory.

    I getcha. Put | 16 (no space) at the end of the ansi (bottom right), and it should stop that. This sets the background as black, which should stop background bleeding.

    I see. I'm still new to modding Mystic so this was something I wasn't aware
    of. I'll edit it immediately.

    And it works! Just need to make changes to the other menus so that they redirect back to the new menu and It's good to go! Once I have this done I'll probably start loading in door games and what not.
