xmaximum not working for choice buttons

#1 Post by SuperbowserX »

I am using 480px (width) images in my game. Problem is, when I have quite a few choices, they can end up going beyond the image parameters as shown in the image (and when there are more than 2-3, they might end up overlapping on to the character). Even when they don't, the blue bar that shows up when the mouse is held over a choice extends beyond the image into the blackish screen.

I attempted to change this by posting "xmaximum 480" under "style choice_vbox" but that did nothing.

Relative to the image I provided, here is a mockup of what I'd like:

Try adding this line in your gui.rpy (and change the value to fit your needs)

define gui.choice_button_width = 480

Thanks! 480 isn't the exact number because the bar fades out towards the edge, but it's enough for me to work with it! (And for anyone else reading this thread in the future, you can also do what I might do and just change the image you see in game/gui/button).
