[Solved] NVL Mode text clipping and overlapping

[AFI-kun]

Images of what I'm experiencing:

Here's the code for my NVL narrator:

Code: Select all

narrator_adv = Character(None, kind=nvl)

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!


ps. Sorry for posting two new threads in a row.

pps. Background art is a placeholder, just trying out RenPy, game isn't for public release. Kudos to anyone who can recognize where the image is from!

Did you try using nvl clear each time you want to clear the window?

Yup! I've tried placing the offending line so that it's the very first message in the game and the text still cuts off at the fifth line. I've had the same problem when trying to move the text by changing what_yoffset; the text would cut off at about the same place where the text cuts off in the image I've posted.

It's just a guess, but try splitting the text into smaller strings.

Yeah, that works, but it doesn't seem optimal :\ Thanks anyway!

but it doesn't seem optimal

I've known for a long time that large texts aren't too friendly with Renpy screens and all, but maybe somewhere there's a better way to integrate it that I haven't seen yet. I think I used Python's long string to work around it, I don't quite remember.

Seems it's not just string length, though. Changing the y-offset for the text produces the same clipping effect. I'm also having problems changing NVL's window padding.

The NVL-mode height is wrong. You can fix this by either setting gui.nvl_height to a bigger number, or set it to None to auto-size things.

That did the trick! Thanks!!
