Centering Who Text

[Zeekee]

I'm trying to figure out whether or not it's possible to center the player's name in the Who box. Ordinarily, I'd just find the exact x-coordinates, but there are a few dynamic characters that rely on user input for their names, so the lengths will more often than not be different from the default.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Are you using the new GUI?
in gui.rpy, find these lines and edit them (you want to create a new yalign property)

Code: Select all

## The horizontal alignment of the character's name. This can be 0.0 for left-
## aligned, 0.5 for centered, and 1.0 for right-aligned.
define gui.name_xalign = 0.0

After you add a yalign, make sure the namebox uses the property.
You may need to copy some code from a 00file in your renpy directory.

Unfortunately, I'm not using the new GUI.

You'll want to find the "Say" screen, usually near the top of screens.rpy, and modify the text fields for the namebox to have xalign 0.5

For example, take the following:

Code: Select all

            if who:
                text who id "who"

And add an xalign statement:

Code: Select all

            if who:
                text who id "who" xalign 0.5

You may also want to add it into the section below that, if you're using the two window variant.

Code: Select all

            if who:
                window:
                    style "say_who_window"

                    text who:
                        id "who" xalign 0.5
