Does this deactivate the Pause Menu? Yours and the normal one?

It pauses the game, so you cannot open the pause menu.

when i use this, the moment the credits finally stop, this appears. Here's my level lua code (im pretty sure i did everything correctly)

Code: Select all

local credits = require("credits")

function onEvent(n)
    if n == "playCredits" then
        credits.play()
    end
end

function onDraw()
    if credits.hasEnded() then
        Graphics.drawScreen{color = Color.black, priority = 100}
        Level.load(Level.filename(Outro.lvlx))
    end
end

Here's my global luna.lua file

Code: Select all

local customPause = require("customPause")
local warpTransition = require("warpTransition")
local minHUD = require("minHUD")
local credits = require("credits")
local rankSystem = require("rankSystem")

local levels = {
	{"!DesertDazzle.lvlx",26000,8000}, 
	{"!DistantDistrict.lvlx",48500,9000}, 
	{"!APerilousClimb.lvlx",29000,10000}, 
	{"!CleftyMountainrange.lvlx",26000,9000}, 
	{"!PumpingPlasmaCave.lvlx",10000,13500}, 
        {"!NightlyFrolics.lvlx",9000,18500}, 
        {"!AboveTheClouds.lvlx",9000,18500}, 
        {"!VolatileAircraft.lvlx",9000,18500},
}

for i = 1, #levels do
	rankSystem.registerLevel(
		levels[i][1], -- registers the levelname per level
		levels[i][2], -- registers the requirement per level
		levels[i][3] -- registers the time preset per level
	)
end

Code: Select all

function onDraw()
    if credits.hasEnded() then
        Graphics.drawScreen{color = Color.black, priority = 100}
        Level.load(Level.filename(Outro.lvlx))
    end
end

Level file name must be a string, so you need: Level.load("Outro.lvlx")

you likely did something wrong, this code works fine for me:

Code: Select all

local credits = require("credits")

function onEvent(n)
    if n == "playCredits" then
        credits.play()
    end
end

function onDraw()
    if credits.hasEnded() then
        Graphics.drawScreen{color = Color.black, priority = 100}
        Level.load("Outro.lvlx")
    end
end

Probably an issue with your level, because the level loading also works fine for me.
