Customizing Position of Textbox

[RadioactiveMoth]

I want to make a text box that appears in the middle of the screen.

So instead of this:



It shows this:



I have the custom textbox ready for use, but I need to make it be in the center.

If I'm understanding correctly....

To get this (you can change the textbox later, of course):

Go to your game's options.rpy and find the section that says:

Code: Select all

    #########################################
    ## These settings let you customize the window containing the
    ## dialogue and narration, by replacing it with an image.

    ## The background of the window. In a Frame, the two numbers
    ## are the size of the left/right and top/bottom borders,
    ## respectively.

And here's all you gotta do!

Code: Select all

    # style.window.left_margin = 6
    # style.window.right_margin = 6
    # style.window.top_margin = 6
    style.window.bottom_margin = 250 ######### UNCOMMENT THIS ONE! adjust the number until your box is where you want it!

    ## Padding is space inside the window, where the background is
    ## drawn.

    # style.window.left_padding = 6
    # style.window.right_padding = 6
    # style.window.top_padding = 6
    style.window.bottom_padding = 50 ######## ALSO UNCOMMENT THIS! adjust to fix the box height!

And if you want the text centered, just use center tags.

the special character "centered" might do the trick

Thanks, I couldn't get the test box to look right, so I just got rid of it. It's readable without it.
