centered character doesn't display text as centered

[meiri]

In my code, I have this

Code: Select all

scene black
with dissolve
centered "{color=#fff}Lunch Period{/color}"

However, the text displays in the bottom left corner of the screen. The textbox is still gone, but it's in the corner.
If you're wondering why I'm using the color text tag (as that could possibly the issue), it's because my default text is black, so it won't show on a black background.

Is there a reason this has happened, or at least a workaround to fix it?

Code: Select all

label start:
    scene black
    with dissolve
    centered "{color=#fff}Lunch Period{/color}"

Fresh project under 6.17. Text is being displayed at dead center. Are you sure you didn't go to some ridiculous length to redefine centered statement and forget?

Works for me.

Code: Select all

image black = '#000'

label start:
    scene black
    with dissolve
    centered "{color=#fff}Lunch Period{/color}"
    return

Must be something else in your game causing this. I'd be particularly suspicious of the custom text box, depending on how you implemented it.

EDIT: Huh, 'black' is a predefined image? That's handy to know. Thanks xela!

(black's predefined in Ren'Py)

I didn't get the custom text box from the post, far more likely than redefining the centered statement.

Nope. Made sure to double check that.

I do actually have a custom textbox, although I didnt mention that.

I decided to go back and check if I had made any changes to the Say screen recently.
Turns out, a while back when I made this thread, I changed "default two_window = True" to "$ two_window = True" . Setting it back to the former or changing the latter to false makes the text appear in the center again.

So I think I'm going to fix the two_window issue and try the other method mentioned in the aforementioned thread, which should in turn fix my centered text problem...
