Re: Outline Character Label Text

I've pulled them out of the init block and used define to define the character. I've also changed it over to who_outlines. The program now loads but when I get to the point where I want to call the character name in the text I get an error that says Type Error: Object of type 'int' has no len(). I d...

Re: Text Box Issues

That did it. Thanks so much!!! :D Is there anyway to make the text boxes determine their height based on the amount of text in the box instead of the preset default size? Thanks again. In "gui.rpy", set "define gui.nvl_height" to "None": ## The height of an NVL-mode ent...

Re: Text Box Issues

Thanks for the help so far. With that information I was able to get a character developed that lines up the text windows between my 'blank' narrator and my characters speech. That just leaves me with the issue of the text boxes being a designated size. Is there anyway to make the text boxes determin...

Text Box Issues

I am having some trouble with the text boxes for my first game. My game is structured with a narrator who provides the general story details in full paragraphs of information. I am using NVL formatting so the text can fill most of the screen if needed for this narration. The first problem I have run...

Re: Extra Characters Added to User Input

I knew it was something simple. That fixed it perfectly. For anyone who's interested here is my completed code to allow the users to decide to choose from a randomly generated list of names, or enter their own name. define mc = Character('[c_name]', color="#99FF66") label start: # selects ...

Extra Characters Added to User Input

I am trying to give my players the option to either choose a character name from a randomly generated list, or enter their own name. I have the randomly generated list, but when the player enters their own name, it adds extra text into the character name field. For example, if the player enters thei...

Re: Select Names from Random List

I ended up needing to make two small changes to the code, but this is exactly what I needed. The two changes were the need to add the $ symbol before the tuple list and the final c_name lines. The final code which is working is: define mc = Character('[c_name]', color="#99FF66") label star...

I am working on a visual novel, and I want to allow my readers to be able to name their characters, but I have been asked by several interested parties to incorporate a randomized name sugg...
