NVL Textbox Not Accepting Custom Layer

[noeinan]

Hello! So, I've been using custom layers to organize my various screens and have recently run into an issue. My game has nvl mode and I'm using a customized nvl textbox. I have an overlay that I want to appear on top of the nvl screen, but it keeps showing up underneath it. I'm wondering if I did anything wrong in my code that is causing this problem? Any help is much appreciated!

In my options.rpy, in an init python block, I have added:

Code: Select all

config.layers = [ 'zero', 'master', 'transient', 'belowmid', 'midlayer', 'abovemid', 'backgrounds', 'textwindow', 'overlay2', 'screens', 'overlay']

I'm using "overlay2" because when I was searching around "overlay" has it's own meaning in RenPy and might not be up to date/working properly. But the important thing is, it should be showing up on top of the textwindow.


In overlay.rpy I've got:

Code: Select all

screen basic_overlay():
    layer "overlay2"

    ## Ensure this appears on top of other screens.
    zorder 2
    modal False
    add "gui/overlay/app_overlay.png"

    text hour() ypos 25 xpos 640
    text daystate ypos 75 xpos 680
    text weather ypos 125 xpos 680
    text ("Day: %d"%calendar.game_day) ypos 175 xpos 680
    text (calendar.month.join(" %d"%calendar.day)) ypos 225 xpos 620

    frame:

        xalign 0.0
        yalign 0.0
        xsize 543
        yfill True

        background None

        add "protag" xalign 0.5

    hbox:
        xalign 0.92
        yalign 0.0
        spacing 20

        imagebutton:
             auto "gui/icons/righthand_icon_%s.png"
             focus_mask True
             #action [Hide("basic_overlay"), ShowMenu("book_shelf")]

        imagebutton:
             auto "gui/icons/lefthand_icon_%s.png"
             focus_mask True
             #action [Hide("basic_overlay"), ShowMenu("book_shelf")]

        imagebutton:
             auto "gui/icons/rightfoot_icon_%s.png"
             focus_mask True
             #action [Hide("basic_overlay"), ShowMenu("book_shelf")]

        imagebutton:
             auto "gui/icons/leftfoot_icon_%s.png"
             focus_mask True
             #action [Hide("basic_overlay"), ShowMenu("book_shelf")]

Specifically, the imagebuttons should be on top of the textwindow. However, instead they show up behind my nvl textbox. Now, if I move the overlay2 layer to show up on top of "screens" then it will show up on top of the nvl textwindow. But also, the "do you want to exit the game" and other important screens will show up behind it, which is less than ideal. Also, I checked and the nvl textwindow is indeed on the "textwindow" layer instead of the "screens" layer, so I'm not sure why it's behaving this way.

Code: Select all

screen nvl(dialogue, items=None):
    layer "textwindow"

Hm, still working on this one. It seems the nvl textbox is just not accepting the custom layer since custom layers work properly everywhere else.

I only found two threads that even somewhat mention someone doing this, but neither seem to apply to my issue...
