How to change the position of the menu buttons?

[redness]

Instead of the default way menu buttons show up how do I make it appear somewhere else besides the center of the screen like so:



The menu buttons are over on the upper right hand corner rather than the usual center. How does one do this?

Go to the screens.rpy, look for the choice section. There you should have the window style with the default xalign 0.5 and yalign 0.5. Change it for whatever position you want, in this case it would be probably something like xalign 0.8 and yalign 0.2 or so.

You can also change the buttons size by editing these lines

Code: Select all

    style menu_choice_button is button:
        xminimum int(config.screen_width * 0.75)
        xmaximum int(config.screen_width * 0.75)

And I guess that "compliment her looks" would be the wiser option for a first move...

Thank you! Very helpful. One more question

In the game above the choices don't just appear in one place. Sometimes they appear to the left of the screen sometimes even appear scattered around the screen to let the user choose a more specific choice based on the objects shown on the screen.

How do I do this?

I believe you're talking about two different things. The "scattered" menus probably are imagemaps: http://www.renpy.org/doc/html/screens.h ... statements
If you modify the choice screen, then it should be possible to pass variables that will change the window xalign and yalign values. I'm not the best person to write this kind of thing, though.

Thank you again! One more question:

As you can tell I am very new at this. Will I get banned if I spam the Question section with loads of questions? Because I currently have a LOAD of questions but I don't want to fill the section with my threads.

Well it's recommended to first use the search. Make sure it's not something someone as asked before and then once you are totally lost can come to make a question.
