Hi there,
I have my character's names on two separate lines in the namebox but I would like the space between names to be smaller.
I know {vspace=##} can be used to add spacing, but not sure how to remove it. I've tried vspace=-##, but that didn't do anything.
My code looks like this:
Code: Select all
define e = Character("{font=CormorantGaramond-Regular.ttf}{size=40}Aurore{/size}{/font}\n{space=70}{color=#f00}Amanite{/color}", what_xalign=0.5)
and that looks like this:
but I want the spacing/gap between first and last name to be closer to mockup:
I also tried adding this line to my gui.rpy file:
Code: Select all
define gui.namebox_spacing = 1000 #a big number just to see if it would do anything...
...but it did nothing.
Any suggestions?
EDIT: In the end, I decided to simply use a PNG of the text instead of trying to format it within renpy -- I did this by adding the "{image=image.png}" instead of a character name while defining the character and that seems to work well

I managed to decrease the namebox-text line height by adding this to gui.rpy (you were so close, too).
Code: Select all
define gui.name_text_line_spacing = -30
