Okay.. this method has a lot of cool stuff... But thanks for explaining to me what's possible here. I'mma try if I can get either of those methods to work. Probably I just will have to adjust my idea of what I wanted to either of the two methods. Thanks a lot.

Sorry I'll try to be clearer I mean in the script there's transforms for images like show eileen happy at right or I can show an image and then specify where: show panel3b_sz1: yalign 0.25 xalign 0.65 can I do that with separate lines of dialogue and their corresponding balloons too? I've read this ...

OH MY GOD IT WORKS YES!! Ahhh I am so happy.. thank you so much for your help and endless patience! Now it works when I put in default = "normal/dbli" and also when I change it midscript to $ balloon = "dbli/normal" and I also know now where to add more bubbles... Oh I am so reli...

ahhhh okay.... I was confused because I thought register style preference meant to define a new style like the ones used for listing the styles of the windows, text etc. But in fact you have to refer to those styles in the same "language" of style preferences like you did with the bubbles....

Okay forget the "normal", I was just repeating what you wrote in as a placeholder. What I have right now is just speech bubbles for all the text, which is very cool. But what word would be the value that refers to the style the dialogue windows are pre-programmed in my screens file? That's...

I didn't change the checkballoon in the beginning, only the image for the background of the bubble. Now the only thing I've changed is that image file, but it works now (apart from the exact placement), maybe a line was placed incorrectly in the script. But I've written default balloon = ""...

I only used the first three blocks of code from this post, changing only the file for the bubble, since of course I have a different image file there. Executing that, the program brought up the error that I showed before, that "balloon" wasn't defined, however when I replaced every instanc...

I found why balloon wasn't defined, because "checkballoon" was defined, and in other places it called for balloon. I adjusted everything to balloon and now that works. What I still don't get about the default statement, how would you write that to get the program to start with the default ...

Matalla, I tried your thing and for a moment it nearly worked (the text was arranged right, just a bit off, but then I got this a reload later.)
How do I define balloons/as what? At least according to this, it's because it doesn't know what a balloon is.

So you'd say: default balloon = "screen_say" or something and then you'd have normal textboxes until you first apply the speechbubble style to dialogue?

Matalla that looks intriguing with the different style preferences (just a teensy bit intimidating, but trying won't hurt anyone) So the first to blocks are defined once for the whole game and the character bit has to be done for every character, so it "remembers" what bubble is currently ...

@XxrenxX, Remix, I had actually also tried the things from Remix's first post which also didn't do anything. However, I had only changed the image, not the font, and of course it wouldn't display then, my bad. So I removed the font line and now.. something showed up.. I think the size was too small ...

I put Remix's code in the screens file and then wrote this into the script, but it didn't show up. screen speech_bubble(): frame: text "Does this work?" I tried to modify it by adding a position and stuff but nothing showed up. What am I doing wrong? Excuse me if I'm being very stupid. I t...

@Matalla, I tried to put in the bits of code you suggested there, and it gave me this: screenshot bubbles.JPG Here the text placement is already much better. So this basically gives you a box for the left, and you could define one for the right, too? But the bubble size and placement are fixed in th...

@Matalla I actually looked at the thread but it seemed a bit overwhelming so I tried this first. But you're right I should probably try that too... Okay Saa I tried that and I got an interesting result. No idea what I'm doing. screenshot bubbles.JPG also, here's the code for the speech bubble I have...
