Hello, everyone!

Today, I show how to make a character page of the extra menu.

First of all, I use Ren'Py to develop this game.

In the character page, to change the face, I don't use the method as normally I use in labels like:

• eileen happy "Hello world!"
• show eileen happy

I use two items:

1. images of each part.
2. screens of each part. 

In the case of this game, I use five parts: body, eye, mouth, option(sweat and cheek), hair. Body and hair have only one image for each character, and other parts have several images.

I show a partial sample cord. (Please be careful that you cannot use this only by copy and paste because this is not complete). This cord consists of three main parts: (1)Character button, (2)Change button, and five screens for each part.

The sample cord is here. This is long so that I recommend you read this cord by copy and paste for your text editor.

# For character graphics
screen extra_stgr(chara_num):
    hbox:
        xalign 1.0
        yalign 1.0
        xsize 1280
        ysize 720

        if chara_num == 2: # (for example)
            # (2) Change buttons
            frame:
                style_prefix "exstgr"
                hbox:
                    vbox:
                        add "gui/icon_e.png" xalign 0.5
                        for i in range(0,len(facelist_e[chara_num-1])-1):

                            imagebutton auto "gui/button/fchange_%s.png" action Show("extra_stgr_m", transition=fast_dissolve, tag_c=chara_num, sfm=i) xalign 0.5
                    vbox:
                        add "gui/icon_o.png" xalign 0.5
                        for i in range(0,len(facelist_o[chara_num-1])-2):

# Screens for each part
screen extra_stgr_b(tag_c, sc_imsize_all=imsize_all, sc_imhead=imhead):
    $ imsize = sc_imsize_all[tag_c-1]
    $ tag_cn = sc_imhead[tag_c-1]
    frame:
        xysize imsize
        $ imhead = "images/stgr/" + tag_cn + "_"
        add imhead + "base.png"

screen extra_stgr_o(tag_c, sfo, sc_imsize_all=imsize_all, sc_imhead=imhead):
    $ imsize = sc_imsize_all[tag_c-1]
    $ tag_cn = sc_imhead[tag_c-1]
    frame:
        xysize imsize
        $ imhead = "images/stgr/" + tag_cn + "_"
        add imhead + "o_" + sfo + ".png"

screen extra_stgr_e(tag_c, sfe, sc_imsize_all=imsize_all, sc_imhead=imhead):
    # Omit (almost the same as the upper one.)

screen extra_stgr_m(tag_c, sfm, sc_imsize_all=imsize_all, sc_imhead=imhead):
    # Omit (almost the same as the upper one.)

screen extra_stgr_h(tag_c, sc_imsize_all=imsize_all, sc_imhead=imhead):
    # Omit (almost the same as the upper one.)

In addition, for showing character graphic at labels, I define with LiveComposit:

• image shine happy = LiveComposite( ... )

I'm sorry but my explanation may not be easy to understand... :( And I don't think my cord is ideal.

Anyway, thank you for reading. I hope every developer can enjoy their development!
