i'm creating a splashscreen for my game and my problem is after showing the splash screen, the buttons for the menu won't work. even the mouse over or click.

here is the code:

Code:

BMAP* splashmap = "SPLASH.jpg";
BMAP* men1 = "ITEMMENU.jpg";

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
PANEL* splashscreen =
{
	bmap = splashmap;
	flags = OVERLAY | SHOW;
}

PANEL* logoscreen =
{
	layer = 2;
 	bmap = men1;
 	pos_x = 0;     
 	pos_y = 0; 
 	button (110, 180, "singleot.tga", "singleot.tga", "singleov.tga", NULL, NULL, overmenuitem);      
 	button (410, 180, "lanot.tga", "lanot.tga", "lanov.tga", NULL, NULL, overmenuitem);      
 	button (20, 260, "optot.tga", "optot.tga", "optov.tga", NULL, NULL, overmenuitem);      
 	button (530, 260, "insot.tga", "insot.tga", "insov.tga", NULL, NULL, overmenuitem);      
 	button (50, 340, "abot.tga", "abot.tga", "abov.tga", NULL, NULL, overmenuitem);      
 	button (490, 340, "exot.tga", "exot.tga", "exov.tga", NULL, NULL, overmenuitem);   
	flags = OVERLAY | SHOW;
}


//////////////////
function main()
{

	freeze_mode = 1;
	screen_size.x = 800;
        screen_size.y = 600;
	mouse_mode = 0;
	wait(3);
	logoscreen.flags &= ~SHOW;
   
	splashscreen.pos_x = (screen_size.x - bmap_width(splashmap)) / 2; 
	splashscreen.pos_y = (screen_size.y - bmap_height(splashmap)) / 2;
	splashscreen.flags = UNTOUCHABLE | SHOW;

	splashscreen.alpha =100;
	wait(-2);
	
	while (splashscreen.alpha >= 0)
		{
		  splashscreen.alpha -= 2*time_step; 
		  wait(1);
		}
        freeze_mode = 0;
	splashscreen.flags &= ~SHOW; 
	bmap_purge(splashmap); 
	
	logoscreen.flags = SHOW | OVERLAY;
	 
}

my another question, is there a way on how to make fade in and out for the splash???

K1_panel.flags = UNTOUCHABLE \| SHOW \| TRANSLUCENT; K1_panel.alpha = 0; // Play sound "file" mhandle = media_play("key_one1.mp3",NULL,100); while (K1_panel.alpha <=100) { K1_panel.alpha += 2*time_step; wait(1); } if (K1_panel.alpha >= 100) { wait (-10); K1_panel.flags &= ~SHOW; } } note the panel must be translucent, and the alpha now counts up from zero not down to 0. You don't need a freeze_mode to show a panel, that might be affecting your logopanel.

@codeChallenged, it turned into black. it shows nothing.

Code:

function splashout();

PANEL* splash1_panel =    //splash panel
{
	layer = 3;
	bmap = "SPLASH.JPG";
	pos_x = 0;
	pos_y = 0;
}


PANEL* logoscreen =   //main menu
{
	layer = 2;
 	bmap = men1;
 	pos_x = 0;     
 	pos_y = 0; 
 	button (110, 180, "singleot.tga", "singleot.tga", "singleov.tga", NULL, NULL, overmenuitem);      
 	button (410, 180, "lanot.tga", "lanot.tga", "lanov.tga", NULL, NULL, overmenuitem);      
 	button (20, 260, "optot.tga", "optot.tga", "optov.tga", options, NULL, overmenuitem);      
 	button (530, 260, "insot.tga", "insot.tga", "insov.tga", instruct, NULL, overmenuitem);      
 	button (50, 340, "abot.tga", "abot.tga", "abov.tga", NULL, NULL, overmenuitem);      
 	button (490, 340, "exot.tga", "exot.tga", "exov.tga", is_exit_prg, NULL, overmenuitem);   
	flags = SHOW | OVERLAY; 
}


function splashout()
{
	splash1_panel.flags = UNTOUCHABLE | SHOW | TRANSLUCENT;
	splash1_panel.alpha = 0;
	
	//sound file


	while(splash1_panel.alpha <=100)
	{
		splash1_panel.alpha += 2*time_step;
		wait(1);
   }
   if(splash1_panel.alpha >=100)
   {
   	wait(-10);
   	splash1_panel.flags &= ~SHOW;	
   	
   }
   logoscreen.flags |= SHOW;
 }


function main()
{
 // video_screen = 1;
  screen_size.x = 800;
  screen_size.y = 600;
  mouse_map = cur;
  mouse_mode = 4;
  
  master_vol = 70; // default volume
  soundtrack_handle = media_loop("Pacman.mp3", NULL, soundtrack_volume); 
  
  options_pan.flags &= ~SHOW;
  ins_pan.flags &= ~SHOW;
  exit_pan.flags &= ~SHOW;
  logoscreen.flags &= ~SHOW;
 
}

what might be the problem...? thanks!

i've been trying to do this:

Code:

function splashout()
{
	splash1_panel.flags = UNTOUCHABLE | SHOW | TRANSLUCENT;
	splash1_panel.alpha = 0;
	
	//sound file


	while(splash1_panel.alpha <=100)
	{
		splash1_panel.alpha += 2*time_step;
		wait(1);
   }
   while(splash1_panel.alpha >=100)
	{
		splash1_panel.alpha -= 2*time_step;
		wait(1);
   } 
   if(splash1_panel.alpha <=100)
   {
   wait(-10);
   splash1_panel.flags &= ~SHOW; 	
   }
   logoscreen.flags |= SHOW;
 }

but it doesn't fade out..?
