Mmm, is there a way to script so that a different text box shows up for each of the different characters?

I am just going to echo the chorus of thank yous for this tutorial. As someone who isn't a programmer it would be nigh impossible for me to have figured this out without your tutorial. I am going to put it to good use.

Thank you for this tutorial!

I don't know if this is a bit of OT, but I found this very good textbox maker. Check it out if you're not into making your own from a scratch ^^

Thank you for the tutorial, it really came in handy.

Now I have a question, does anybody knows how to put the namebox above the dialoguebox? I want them to overlap a little but the namebox appears below the dialoguebox when it should be the other way around.

Thanks!

There's this: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=14046
It's basically just switching the order of the who and what boxes in the textbox screen.

Not going to say something meaningful; I just wanted to thank you. As a complete beginner, I still feel a little lost in Renpy, but this made everything so much more understanable. Thanks :)

First off, thank you!

Secondly...I saw the cookbook page for getting the menu buttons on the right side of the screen, but what if I want to put them on the bottom (sort of like the default text for save/load/preferences, but with buttons under the text window instead of to the right)?

Complete beginner, here...I know I have to adjust the x and y, but rather than frustrating myself further with it, I figured I'd ask.

I got the padding to contain the Text right where I want it, but the problem is that the text box shrunk:

How did you make your textbox - as a pre-fitted image or an image to use as a frame (see the very beginning of the first post)?

Right, I edited my post so my code was deleted since I thought the problem might have been obvious. It's a pre-fitted image. Here's the code:
Code:
    style.window.background = Frame("In game Text Box.png", 35, 35)

    ## Margin is space surrounding the window, where the background
    ## is not drawn.

    style.window.left_margin = 0
    style.window.right_margin = 0
    style.window.top_margin = 0
    style.window.bottom_margin = 0

    ## Padding is space inside the window, where the background is
    ## drawn.

    style.window.left_padding = 290
    style.window.right_padding = 44
    style.window.top_padding = 35
    style.window.bottom_padding = 35

    ## This is the minimum height of the window, including the margins
    ## and padding.

    style.window.yminimum = 291

Mmm...
pre-fitted image - is an image with the actual size that won't be changed during the game
Code:
style.window.background = "In game Text Box.png"

if you plan that textbox will change its height from sentence to sentence then it's better to use frame (like you did)
Code:
style.window.background = Frame("In game Text Box.png", 35, 35)

In second case be shure that "In game Text Box.png" doesn't have transparent canvas surrounding the actual textbox image (looks like for now it has lot of transparent canvas at top of the image).

Ay... I fixed my pre-fitted image so it's correct, but now I can't figure out how to make the text fit nicely in it. I left some room on the left for a side image in the future.

Code:
    style.window.background = Frame("In game Text Box.png", 0, 0 )

    ## Margin is space surrounding the window, where the background
    ## is not drawn.

    style.window.left_margin = 290
    style.window.right_margin = 0
    style.window.top_margin = 0
    style.window.bottom_margin = 0

    ## Padding is space inside the window, where the background is
    ## drawn.

    style.window.left_padding = 250
    style.window.right_padding = 44
    style.window.top_padding = 35
    style.window.bottom_padding = 35

    ## This is the minimum height of the window, including the margins
    ## and padding.

    style.window.yminimum = 291

Well, if you already left some free space between screen side and textbox for a side image, you don't need to set left_padding at all.
