[Solved] Name box during transitions?

[chensterrain]

I've had to update my game, last edited in Ren'Py 6.12.1 (eek!) to the latest version of Ren'Py recently, and have run into a bit of a snag - while previously using 'window show' would keep both the textbox and name box up during transitions, it's now causing the name box to disappear each time. My game's text box pre-dates screen language, so I've no idea if it's a lost cause or not. I've tried using config.script_version as well, but no dice.

These are the only edits I've made to the say menu:

Code: Select all

    $ narrator = Character(" ", ctc=anim.Blink("ctc.png", xpos=731, ypos=537, xanchor=0, yanchor=0), ctc_position="fixed", show_two_window=True)

etc, and

Code: Select all

init:
    #$ style.say_who_window.background = Image("UI-NameboxWide2.png")
    $ style.say_who_window.ypos = 15
    $ style.say_who_window.background = "GUI2_TextboxNameLogo2.png"
    $ style.say_who_window.top_padding = 0
    $ style.say_who_window.bottom_padding = 0
    $ style.say_who_window.left_padding = 95
    $ style.say_who_window.bottom_margin = 0
    $ style.say_label.ypos = 33
    $ style.say_label.font = "CollegiateInsideFLF.ttf"
    $ style.say_label.color = "#380c09"
    $ style.say_label.size = 15

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Where is the narrator line definined. You should probably have:

Code: Select all

define narrator = Character(" ", ctc=anim.Blink("ctc.png", xpos=731, ypos=537, xanchor=0, yanchor=0), ctc_position="fixed", show_two_window=True)

at the top level. If it's in a screen, it won't be used.

The narrator is defined in an init block, with a bunch of other characters.

Huh. For some reason, it uses _narrator instead.

define _narrator = Character(" ", ctc=anim.Blink("ctc.png", xpos=731, ypos=537, xanchor=0, yanchor=0), ctc_position="fixed", show_two_window=True)

That worked perfectly, thank you!
