Bookmarked because the new version has been slowly melting my head with basic things. Good thing Ren'Py's default look is so nice because I've been having to look at a lot of it porting over old projects.
I'm not even the same person anymore

I think this should go in the Cookbook, it's very useful.

What did you mean by "Wiki is broken to where I can't make a new cookbook code"?
For now, I've just added this thread as a link on the Cookbook page.

With your permission, I'd like to put this in a proper Cookbook sub-article on the wiki. I certainly have no trouble creating articles -- I just made
this cookbook subpage.

That was my original plan for it, but when I made this thread the Wiki could not be updated. I had it in Wiki code and everything. ;_; I think I might have it, still. But it would be an earlier draft of it, not this final version.

I've linked to it on the FAQ, so now this seems gratuitous, which is why I haven't done it. Also: meh.

I need to irradiate myself so I can give you three thumbs up for this, this is GREAT. (Found it on the wiki, heh)
Is there any difference between declaring the Characters in an init block or an init python block? (e.g $ narrator = Character(...) vs narrator = Character(...))

There is no difference. The latter is just a combination of an init and a python block to reduce indentation.

Hm. I just guess: If you want to have the textbox on top of the screen instead of at the bottom you need to use NVL code, right? Or is there another way maybe?

The textbox can be positioned like any other box. It also accepts the xpos/xalign/xanchor etc position properties, so play around with it and see what you can get.

Hi Aleema! Thanks! There is a big bunch of things that I did not see/practice so far! :) Thank you for your answer! I found this wiki entry: http://www.renpy.org/wiki/renpy/doc/ref ... Properties and will take a closer look at it! (Somehow I missed that detail on you nice tutorial and so I asked :) ) Fine!


Edit: Doh! I found my mistake! - I don't want to talk about it. something like commentary signs may be involved! Oh!
