Centered doesn't center? o_o

[Viniciuskk]

Heya so... I just bought a new computer and installed Ren'py on it. Upon opening my projects, I noticed all of the text that was previously centered with the simple "centered" command is now sitting on the bottom left side of the screen:

However, If I open the same project file on the old computer, it looks normal o_O (probably because Ren'py isn't updated on it?) I even tried the following, which I found on another thread here, but it didn't work either:

Code: Select all

    $ centered = Character(None,
                            what_size=20,
                            what_outlines=[(3, "#000000", 0, 0)],
                            what_layout="subtitle",
                            what_xalign=0.5,
                            what_text_align=0.5,
                            window_background=None,
                            window_yminimum=0,
                            window_xfill=False,
                            window_xalign=0.5,
                            window_yalign=0.5)
    

I also tried changing the xalign or yalign values, but nothing happens! It still sits on the bottom left side. Any ideas?

How did you code it? Can you attach your script here?
I guess that you changed/modified the "centered" transform into something else in the new project, or accidentally included a script file that contains something that override the default "centered" transform.

Have you tried truecenter yet?

I think the xfill should be true and not false. Try that out at least.

centered "At the end of the year, Ayumi moves back to Tokyo to live with her family."
I don't even know where the default centered is x_x I swear I didn't open any ren'py files besides the script ones :/

Maybe this? Works for me over here.

Code: Select all

    $ centered = Character(None,
                            what_size=20,
                            what_outlines=[(3, "#000000", 0, 0)],
                            what_xalign=0.5,
                            what_text_align=0.5,
                            window_background=None,
                            window_xfill=True,
                            window_yfill=True,
                            window_xalign=0.5,
                            window_yalign=0.5)

instead of using
$ centered =

try use

define centered =


And just in case you haven't done it, put all of your character declaration at the very beginning of your script, before the label start:

The text is now on top of the window o_o

I did. Nothing changed.

Try this step by step troubleshooting :
1. Start a new project -let's call it project B- using the new Renpy in your new PC. Make sure you're using the same resolution as your troublesome project. Try adding several lines of dialogue using centered. Did it show at the right position?
- If it failed, then something is wrong with your renpy.
- If it worked, go to step 2.

2. Delete the screens.rpy, gui.rpy and options.rpy from project B.
Go to your troublesome old project in the same PC (we'll call it project A), and copy screens.rpy, gui.rpy and options.rpy to project B. Then launch project B and try showing dialogue with centered again.
- If it failed, then either something is wrong with one of those configuration files, or you need to go to step 3.
- If it works, go to step 3.

3. Go to project A directory, and open script.rpy
Copy everything before the label start, and paste it into the script.rpy in project B.
Then test showing dialogue with centered again.
- If it failed, then something is wrong with one of your declaration. For example, maybe a certain info screen is conflicting with your say screen or contains something that is no longer supported in new Renpy.
- If it works, then the error is somewhere in the rest of your script.rpy (or in case you have multiple files for your main script, then it's in one of them). You might want to copy it block by block while testing it to check which one actually causing the problem.

It'll be easier for us to see what the problem is if you could attach your script(s) here.
Just trim it first so that you can actually replicate the error with the minimum lines of code.

I'm going to cry. I copied EVERY .rpy file and tweaked it so it could run in project B --- centered did its job just fine.

Then I proceeded to copy EVERYTHING into project B, essentially making it a copy of A. Centered made the text appear on the bottom.

God.... *cries in agony*

What files do you want?

[indoneko]

How big is your project? (just the script+asset in the game directory, without the build)
If you can upload the full project somewhere, I can play-test and clean it up for you.
Or at least attach script.rpy (and other rpy files, if you have more than one file for the script) from your game directory here to let others check the errors for you.

I sent it to you via message.
