overlapping the main text-box with character name text-box?

[maricore]

that's just a very small tweak i wish i knew how to do, the text box seems to be in-front of the character's name text box, can i possibly make it the other way around? i want the character name text box to be in-front of the narration text box.

Find "say" screen (in screens.rpy) and make sure that part with "who" comes after "what" part

SOmething like:

Code: Select all

screen say(who, what):

    window id "window":
        has vbox

        text what id "what"

        if who:
            text who id "who"

[maricore]

no, it doesn't want to work.
here is how the code looks.

Code: Select all

# Say
#
# Screen that's used to display adv-mode dialogue.
# http://www.renpy.org/doc/html/screen_special.html#say
screen say(who, what, side_image=None, two_window=False):

    # Decide if we want to use the one-window or two-window variant.
    if not two_window:

        # The one window variant.
        window:
            id "window"

            has vbox:
                style "say_vbox"

            if who:
                text who id "who"

            text what id "what"

    else:

        # The two window variant.
        vbox:
            style "say_two_window_vbox"

            if who:
                window:
                    style "say_who_window"

                    text who:
                        id "who"

            window:
                id "window"

                has vbox:
                    style "say_vbox"

                text what id "what"

    # If there's a side image, display it above the text.
    if side_image:
        add side_image
    else:
        add SideImage() xalign 0.0 yalign 1.0

    # Use the quick menu.
    use quick_menu

As you are probably using two-window style, you need to make corresponding change in it:

Code: Select all

else:

    # The two window variant.
    vbox:
        style "say_two_window_vbox"
        window:
            id "window"

            has vbox:
                style "say_vbox"

            text what id "what"

        if who:
            window:
                style "say_who_window"

                text who:
                    id "who"

well yeah its on top of it now, but it changed location and the name of the character is not even there anymore...

Ok, time for plan B: return everything as it was before, but add order_reverse = True after vbox:

Code: Select all

else:
    # The two window variant.
    vbox:
        order_reverse = True
        # rest

[maricore]

gave me this error

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but errors were detected in your script. Please correct the
errors listed below, and try again.
