First, I coded in the ability for players to choose text size, which can cause text overflow when switching to a larger size for the text. So I have tried making it so that nvl_list_length is a preference. When the player has selected default text size, nvl_list_length is set to 4. When they select the larger size, nvl_list_length should be 3.
The problem is that when this preference is changed, although the text size changes, nvl_list_length doesn't until the game is quit and opened again.
Actually, when I have having issues getting it to change at all, I noticed that there's two different spots that nvl_list_length shows up. First it's in screens.rpy as config.nvl_list_length and then it also shows up in gui.rpy as gui.nvl_list_length. So there's effectively two different variables that control the same thing. I've noticed that only the config one matters. If these are set to two different numbers, the config one is the one that's used. I'm guessing that's why nvl_list_length won't change, because it's a config variable?
The second problem is that whenever the text size is changed mid-game, when returning to the game, when you advance the text you get this fun error:
Code: Select all
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.
