Character Limit for Player Input Save Game Name [SOLVED]

[sheetcakeghost]

So I'm using the following code (ty ocelot) to let the player name their own save files.

Code: Select all

screen file_slots(title):
    default page_name_value = FilePageNameInputValue(pattern=_("Page {}"), auto=_("Automatic saves"), quick=_("Quick saves"))
    use game_menu(title):
        fixed:
            input:
                value VariableInputValue('save_name')

It works like a dream except if you put in more than 36 characters it begins to stretch the GUI. I want to add a character limit for the input prompt, but it's a bit trickier to use with this code than it is with just character names. [I can't just use ('save_name', length=36) for example.]

I've attempted some work arounds like making save button to call up a screen that just asks the player to name the save, but I don't like how that interrupts the smoothness of just clicking the thumbnail and making a save happen.

Would anyone else have some ideas for me to try? I'd really appreciate it.

Code: Select all

input:
    value VariableInputValue('save_name')
    pixel_width 200 # or whatever the appropriate width is
