This might be the closest I'll get to what I'm looking for: image epigraph = Text("{cps=1}\"{/cps}Polyphemus?{cps=1} W{/cps}hy do you cry so sore in the starry night?{cps=1} Y{/cps}ou will not let us sleep.{cps=1} S{/cps}ure[[ly] no man's driving off your flock?{cps=1} N{/cps}o man has tri...

The thread https://lemmasoft.renai.us/forums/viewtopic.php?t=44538 does cover this subject, but not for a "journal screen" format of screen . I'm trying to make a custom boilerplate screen that changes its contents with every "data/journal entry", like below: screen data_screen(...

... Add pauses in the text part of the Text() node (Check? The {cps=1} trick seems to work, if a bit clunky). Figure out how to break up an epigraph into multiple Text() elements (one per "paragraph"), so that they line up vertically on the screen, and I can tweak them that way. Plus, I'm...

Work around what? You haven't really stated what it is that it does, which you are dissatisfied with. Sorry about that. What it does currently is that it makes the text appear, at a consistent 24 cps. That...doesn't really give the player much time to read the text before the epigraph fades out for...

I'm trying to make an epigraph that's more polished than "continuously reveal text at 24 cps". Of course, because I'm using a Text() displayable, tags like {w=2.0} have no effect. Here's the code I'm using, minus the epigraph: image epigraph = Text(**EPIGRAPH GOES HERE**, size=32, slow_cps...

Just realized that the error came from the action Null being on the same line as a textbutton , not a text . hbox: textbutton _("back") action Rollback() textbutton " | " action Null textbutton _("history") action ShowMenu('history') # and so on

Hmm... Okay? I think I got the principle of it.

But what about stuff that does use the window, or at least the lower third? I'm trying to have my game "talk" to the player about some brief-but-important things before the story starts (this is after clicking the New Game button).

Tried the action Null thing, but it just returned an error?

Haven't tried this myself but I think you need to create a text displayable (https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/text.html#Text) and add it to your dialogue. You'd add the outline property to the Text() arguments as PyTom showed above. You'd then add it with the image tag: https://www.renpy.org/doc/html...

So this probably isn't a good idea in the long run, but I've been scouring search results for "hide lines" from the History log and have come up with nothing. How do I keep given lines from being recorded in History? So that when the player checks History, certain lines that appear in the ...

It is better to set main-menu song with the line (in options.rpy)

Code: Select all

define config.main_menu_music =....

Other options can lead to certain problems..

Thank you! ;^^

So, how does one apply this to one line of text, while leaving the rest without this outline?

Well, that works, but so does the variation without the _().

Now, how do you make it match the formatting of the buttons? I had to add a {size=-4}{/size} around the pipe to get it off of the bottom edge of the screen.
