Re: Aligning Names in Namebox

have you tried changing the xalign to 0.0? you can implement it just as you would xpos and ypos.

Re: Planning vs improvising

it really depends on the person. personally, I have trouble finishing a project when I don't have the end planned out. I get stuck quickly and I tend to get overambitious with my story branches. but improvising is fun. sometimes I find a middle ground where I know where I want to take the story, but...

Re: How to add/delete files during gameplay?

here's a relevant thread. it's not a feature in Ren'Py, as far as i know, so you'll have to code it in using python.

Re: Clicking on Screen

you probably want to use imagebuttons for that kind of stuff. make a screen to put it in, and then use that in the background. you can code that using screen language , which is what's used in your screens.rpy file. a similar question was answered here: https://lemmasoft.renai.us/forums/viewtopic.ph...

Re: NVL dialogue beginning on the left side of the screen.

are you talking about text alignment? try changing text_align to 1.0 (in screens.rpy, under the nvl_thought style.) that'll make it aligned to the right.

Re: SetField action not changing persistent color variable

aw man. I tried changing stuff to preference.-- like you said, but it didn't work. but I think I'm figuring things out! it turns out I actually didn't implement style preferences properly. I was stuck there because I didn't know what style objects were, but I figured it out! all I had to do was use ...

[solved] SetField action not changing persistent color variable

I have a pretty simple black-on-white interface, but I realized it could get a little hard on the eyes. so I'm trying to make two themes, one a default "light mode" and one "dark mode" that changes the color of the text and background. first, I changed some stuff so the gui could...

help with nvl input, like in text adventure games

I wanna keep a text input box on the bottom of the screen that can interact with events in the nvl dialogue screen. think of a text adventure with commands and stuff, it's basically that. here's how it'd work (theoretically): all mechanics are based on the input box. hitting enter without typing any...

Re: Side Image problem

your method looks a bit different from the one in the documentation. I can't test it right now, so sorry if it's outdated or you've already tried it.

Re: What inspires you?

Hollywood will hype up their movie so you want to watch it, even though you already saw 85% of it in just the trailer *ahem* Sorry for ranting. I think that has to do with why I make stories--because they don't exist. I'm not the best writer there is (not by a long shot!), but if no one makes what ...

How well could Ren'Py replicate A Dark Room?

More specific questions: - Can it run multiple timers like ADR can? - Can a smooth "swiping" transition happen when switching menus? (A Firelit Room -> A Silent Forest) (also how the "stores" inventory always moves under the other inventory boxes when switches screens.) (In case ...

Re: Show Image User Cannot Interrupt

What if you just handled it like a character sprite, but in a different location?

edit: adding to what Imperf3kt said: the above doesn't work in cases where you want a time limit on the image independent of the player's clicks.
