character name + font questions

[tooaya]

It's been a while since I played around with renpy so I totally turned back to a noob again (not that I was an expert before pffft ).

Two questions, one on textbox and one on font:

1. How do you separate character name from the actual text in the text box? My text box has a space on top of it for character names, but for some reason I can't get the character name to stay up there.. I tried separating the character name by using the show_two_window=True statement, but the name ends up getting covered up by the original textbox. : x (see attachment)

2. For easier view, I added a drop-shadow effect for the in-game texts. However, the drop-shadow effect look kind of ugly everywhere else (as in the save/load screen, yes/no prompt screen etc etc ). Is there a way to get rid of the drop-shadow effect so that it only remains in the in-game scripts?

Thanks in advance!

1. Use Style Inspector and get the style name then set the position of text(or container of dialogue) in init block.

Code: Select all

    # example
    style.say_dialogue.ypos = 500
    style.say_vbox.ypos = ...
    style.say_label.ypos = ...
    .....

2. I think you've changed drop_shadow property of default style which adds shadow effect to the all of the renpy text.

Code: Select all

init python:
    style.default.drop_shadow = (1, 1)

Then, change it to this:

Code: Select all

init python:
    style.say_dialogue.drop_shadow = (1, 1)
    style.say_thought.drop_shadow = (1, 1)
