Is there a way to get the current dimensions of the dialogue box as a query? I am going to use an auto-expanding frame with yfill, and I would like to know the current position and size of the dialogue box so that I can dynamically position things around it.

Thanks!

Okay - so namebox appears to break the auto height in the frame. With the namebox, the window frame takes the default height of the game, which in my case is 720. Without, it scales properly to the dialogue as long as I turn on yfill and turn off ysize. The only last option I can think of is to use ...

Aha! The namebox is making it go crazy! I'll have to figure that one out - with name="None" it works, but with any actual name it does not - it blows up y to full size of the screen. I am guessing this is due to multiple uses of the "windows" style. Looks like defining my own cus...

Thank you for the advice - the Shift I did reveal something that I was missing. I seem to have mostly gotten it to work. Key was in the screens.rpy - I set the xfill to False and commented out the ysize. The yminimum then only works in the style declaration - I believe that the problem was that the ...

I seem to be unable to get the automatic scaling of the window background frame to work. In the following example, I replaced the textbox with a custom png image (500 x 240px), and then added the following to script.rpy of "The Question" under the other defines. I then added a "n"...

There's been a change in 6.99.14 to resolve the conflict that occurs between xalign and yalign in favor of xpos. I wouldn't set the position in two different places like that. What I'd suggest is something like: image night_of_fire_bg_movie = Movie(play="/images/animations/nightoffire02.ogv) s...

Also having an xalign issue with .14: image night_of_fire_bg_movie = Movie(size=(1280, 720), play="/images/animations/nightoffire02.ogv", loop=-1, xalign=-1.0 , ypos=0, xanchor=0, yanchor=0) show night_of_fire_bg_movie with dissolve: ease 10.0 xpos -0.95 The movie is used as a bg that slid...

Brilliant! Thank you! That worked! Now that I understand layers I'm going to make a million of them!

I am using 6.99.13 and trying to figure out how to display (and hide) an image above the say_window, like a side image, but I want it to be persistent regardless of whose talking and only hide when I tell it to. This will be the protagonist, so it won't just be one image as they will display emotion...

Working with Sita is fantastic! She's super fast - listens to feedback - and goes way beyond what I was expecting. I loved her work in Brilliant Shadows/Pale Spectrum - so I couldn't believe that I could actually hire her to help me on my own VN, The Red Seed. I asked for some difficult things to po...
