Nvl mode background problem. [SOLVED]

[AlexCLD]

Hi everybody! I am trying to use de nvl mode on my game, but I have an annoying problem:



"b" image is white, but when I start the game this is what's happen:



The background is gray and the image that I put is white.

Please! Help!

That would be because the background to the textbox is transparent black.
you could try typing the text as "centered"?

You're right, when I center the text, the gray background disappeared, but I want to put the text on the top left of the screen. How can I solve this problem?

Thanks in advance

To do that, you could change the background of the textbox to a transparent image.
There's a tutorial on that somewhere around here. Would you like a link?

Just use a transparent png for the image and you should be good.

Warning: Depending on your computer, the file itself (in the game folder) may appear as a white box. But, it should be transparent.

You say that I must do something like this?



Because the gray colour of the background remains in the same place. Sorry if I am doing something wrong, I have much to learn.


Edit: "frame.png" is a transparent image.

Perhaps you need to add a border?
If that doesn't work... either it's calling a different background for novel mode or I'm just an idiot.

I'm the real idiot

I actually meant a mostly transparent single pixel border around the image... But, if that works, do it.

Doesn't works, but I changed the "frame" image and the resolution and this is what I see:



Interesting, but really annoying problem

Include/change the margins(?) and the background should match up better with the textbox.
Aside from that... If you want to keep the white background throughout... Perhaps change the frame to a white image?

Make the textbox fill the whole screen via adjusting the margins. It will make the textbox become the white background you so desire.

Guys, this should not be this painful. Use nvl_window instead of window, and a background of None will register as transparent. You can use the style inspector (shift+I) to see what style a displayable is using.

Code: Select all

init:
    style nvl_window:
        background None

label start:
    scene b
    "nvl text as usual"

I just can't do it...

I'm sorry that it's painful...
