Customising input box for player name

#1 Post by Becca-Boo »

Ok, this one is slowly killing me!

I've managed to customise almost everything about my game. Menu's; Start screen; NPC and player text boxes; Side images - the works.....but the one thing that is defeating me is replacing the standard box that comes up when you ask for a players name with a customised one.

I've searched through the forum and found some old solutions - but they don't seem to work with the latest version of Renpy. I -know- this one must be as simple as simple can be - but for the life of me, I just can't work out how to do it.

Can someone give a girl a helping hand?

The answer is different if you have in your game many inputs from the player or only this one.
If you use renpy.input only once in your game, or if you want all your renpy.input with the same customized screen, you can go to the file screens.rpy and search "screen input(...". Customize directly the screen and that's it.
