Empty window default broken?

[Vodka]

I'm trying to place config.default_show_empty_window = True in my configs to get the say screen to stay during choices but it's not working.

I've tried deleting persistent files, putting it on -1 or -2 init, etc but it always disappears during menus. Can someone test this configurable in their game?

That isn't quite how that config works.
In your case, what you want to do is simply put some text into the menu statement.
eg.

Code: Select all

menu:
    "This is textbox text"

    "Choice 1":
        pass

    "Choice 2":
        pass

If you want just an empty textbox, changing "This is textbox text" to "" would probably do it.

What Zetsubou suggested is a good way around it. If you want it to display the say window as empty by default, regardless of what the menu dialogue is, you can use the say screen with your own arguments:

Code: Select all

###
### screens.rpy
###

screen choice(items):
 
    # Create a new instance of the say window:
    # Have the narrator/None character say this every time a choice appears
    # In this case, a new line character
    use say(None, "\n")
 
    # ...
 
init -1:
    # Remove the original say window
    $ config.narrator_menu = False
