Choice Menu in Textbox?

[TheEndIsNearUs]

Is there a way to have the choice menu appear inside the textbox instead of in center screen? Because my game is rather choice-heavy, and I don't like how the menus block the character sprites.
Basically I'm looking for something like this (sorry for crappy doodle):

I tried to figure it out, and then I tried to look it up, but I can't seem to find anything other than changing the button backgrounds. There's a chance I'm just missing something obvious, but I figured it doesn't hurt to ask.

You have to make changes to the choice screen(in screens.rpy) just positioning the buttons so they fit in the textbox should work

The simplest way is to use the "a" tag: see the doc: http://www.renpy.org/doc/html/text.html#text-tag-a
(Maybe it's not the prettiest way...)

EDIT: I'm not sure if the effect is the same, because the "a" tag calls in new context...

EDIT2: As mobychan has said, try changing the position of the choice screen:
in screens.rpy:

Code: Select all

screen choice(items):

    window:
        style "menu_window"
        xalign 0.5
        yalign 0.95  # <-- this first was 0.5

That hides the text box and side images, though:

(throwing in my two cents because I'd like to know how to do it, too!)

SwedishJazz, the choice menu won't replace the dialogue window if you just include a line of dialogue with the question on the menu label. Anyway, I believe the link below may have a better answer to TheEndIsNearUs' question:
