Text running off center and running off side in NVL mode

[tim_p]

Hello, this is my first try with RenPy so I'm still getting used to the basics. I am trying to set the format up in an NVL mode, but when I changed the default window resolution to 600 x 480, the text is printing way off center and also runs off the side. What am I missing here?



This is the super simple code for it:

# The script of the game goes in this file.

# Declare characters used by this game. The color argument colorizes the
# name of the character.

init:
$ s = Character(None, kind=nvl, what_prefix="\"", what_suffix="\"", what_color="#fff")
$ m = Character(None, kind=nvl, what_prefix="\"", what_suffix="\"", what_color="#fff")
$ narrator = Character(None, kind=nvl, what_color="#fff")
image bg forest1 = "mo1.jpg"

init python:
config.nvl_paged_rollback = True

style.nvl_window.background = "nvl_window.png"
style.nvl_window.xpadding = 5
style.nvl_window.ypadding = 5

init python:
config.empty_window = nvl_show_core
config.window_hide_transition = dissolve
config.window_show_transition = dissolve

# The game starts here.

label start:

# Show a background. This uses a placeholder by default, but you can
# add a file (named either "bg room.png" or "bg room.jpg") to the
# images directory to show it.

scene bg forest1
window show

# This shows a character sprite. A placeholder is used, but you can
# replace it by adding a file named "eileen happy.png" to the images
# directory.

# show eileen happy

# These display lines of dialogue.

"Hello, world."

s "You've created a new Ren'Py game."

s "Once you add a story, pictures, and music, you can release it to the world!"

# This ends the game.

return

Did you edit the resolution in the gui.rpy or did you do it by creating a new project?

I don't know why you're using a python init for the NVL mode though.
you can just do the following:

Code: Select all

start()
    nvl show
    "Hello world."
    #the rest of your NVL text
    hide NVL
    return

OK, I got it. I didn't know I had to adjust stuff in gui.rpy...I'd just done it in config.rpy.

Does it make sense to use a python init for the NVL mode if the entire game is in NVL mode?

I guess, but at that point I'd consider tweaking the ADV display. I guess it depends on your exact requirements.
