How to disable Namebox? [answered]

[AsHLeX]

Hey guys! Kind of a silly question here but I'm not used to the new Ren'py GUI. How do I disable the namebox? I want both the character name and the dialogue to just be in the same window, but I can't figure out how to do that since the namebox is enabled by default. Thanks!

I can think of two ways to do it:
1. Go to screens.rpy and search the "screen say(who, what):" line. The original screen has a window containing another window with the namebox and the text of the dialogue. You can change it, deleting the window of the namebox and adding a vbox. For example (code not tested):

Code: Select all

screen say(who, what):
    style_prefix "say"

    window:
        id "window"
        has vbox

        if who is not None:

            text who id "who"

        text what id "what"

2. Define your characters with None as the name and add a what_prefix with the actual name:

Code: Select all

define e = Character(None, what_prefix="{b}Eileen{/b}\n")

Hey, xavimat! Thanks for your help!
The first option works, but how do I customize where I want the name to be (like the location). It seems to be on the left in the middle by default.
Thanks!

Apply position properties to the line text who id "who"
