Custom Text box frame

[Aang]

I did a custom text box fram in photoshop and i've putted the new file in the options but when we test the game to see what it looks like, the text box is tinier than when we saved it and the text doesn't want to go directly in it. The text is written at the default place. Am I missing something? What should I do?

You may have to uncomment the one in the options.rpy and change this line a bit...

Code: Select all

    style.window.yminimum = ???

The text is written at the default place. Am I missing something?

For this... you may want to fiddle with these in the options.rpy

Code: Select all

    style.window.left_padding = ??
    style.window.right_padding = ??
    style.window.top_padding = ??
    style.window.bottom_padding = ??

"POOF" (DIsappears)

I'm able to play with the size, but the text still ain't going in the text box completly. I don't understand.

Code: Select all

    style.window.left_padding = 20
    style.window.right_padding = 20
    style.window.top_padding = 20
    style.window.bottom_padding = 20

Remember to remove the # from the code in front of these lines(the ones in your options.rpy; the ones here have already been removed).

I already know that. The thing is, when I have the right size for the text box frame, well the text doesn,t go in and when the text goes in the text box well the box fram is way too big.

Hm, what is the size of your frame in pixels?
And, is there any transparent space round your frame?

[Aang]

I played a lot with the size, but currently it's 283 pixels high and 1020 pixels wide. And yes there's some transparent space around it, well it's suppose to be.

The code(padding) doesn't affect the text box frame size. It only affects the default position of the text. Take note that it's padding not the one(margin) before it. Margin affects the text box size.

Code: Select all

    
    style.window.left_padding = 60 #increase this value if the text is too left and vice-versa
    style.window.right_padding = 60 #increase this value if too right
    style.window.top_padding = 60 #increase this value if too high
    style.window.bottom_padding = 60#increase this value if too low
