Instead, include the spaces around the edge (up to the top of the box) so that you don't have to alter margins within Ren'Py. This means that your resulting image should be as wide as your game (default: 800px).


I understand that the image has to be wide as game o.o but does it have to be same height as game too?
>.< please help me asap. D:

Nope. I said "up to the top of the box," meaning the top of your dialogue box. You don't need all that empty space above it. :)

Hi guys. I have a problem with positioning "click to continiue" image:

Image

I use this code:

Image

I don't know how to fix it.
And in options.rpy I used this setting:

Image

Anyone can help with this? I tried to change settings, but is only worse.

If I change this
Code:
...("images/arrow.png", (9, 21)...
to this
Code:
...("images/arrow.png", (20, 20)...
, as it says in guide, when I received this error:

Code:
  File "game/script.rpy", line 28, in script
        m "test"
ValueError: subsurface rectangle outside surface area


Traceback attached ._.

That's interesting. It probably has everything to do with the size of your image. That error occurs when the size of the image + code don't match up. If you post your image, and I can check that for you.

Also: Those are some trippy colors. I like. :)

Most likely I'm wrong use style parameters.

And the arrow:

Okay, you definitely have a problem in that you're using something that you're not supposed to. XD That's why it's an error. "Filmstrip" is only for animations that are in a single image. Your CTC icon is not animation. Please say this instead and see if it works:
Code:
ctc=Image("images/arrow.png", xpos=755, ypos=545),

But I want the arrow blinked. I saw this in the demo game. How do I do it? @_@

Well, you should make an animation! It's not going to just animate itself. :) There are a couple ways to do this. I suggest this way:

Code:
image ctc_blink:
    xpos 755 ypos 545
    alpha 1.0
    "images/arrow.png"
    1.0
    alpha 0
    1.0
    repeat

And in you character code, replace that line once again with:
Code:
ctc="ctc_blink",

The 1.0 in the image code is 1 second of time.

You still need the " ctc_position = "fixed" ". Did you remove it?
