How to center date/time in the save slots?

[AERenoir]

So, I had mad my save load screen with the old code, and I wanted to change the layout a bit.
I don't want the numbers in front of the Day and Empty, I also want to have the text centered instead of left-aligned.
I've gone through the documentation but I'm still kind of confused.

The code I used

Code: Select all

screen load_save_slot:
    $ file_text = "%2s. %s\n  %s" % (
                        FileSlotName(number, 4),
                        FileTime(number, format="%A \n%d %B \n%Y \n(%I:%M%p)", empty=_("Empty")),
                        FileSaveName(number))
    

    add FileScreenshot(number) xpos 27 ypos 40
    text file_text xpos 35 ypos 140 size 18 color "000000"

I don't even know what this stands for:

Code: Select all

"%2s. %s\n  %s"

I tried erasing "FileSlotName", but it just made the project crash.

What I currently have:

You can try the the xalign or text_align property of text.
https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/style_pr ... text_align

Code: Select all

text file_text xalign 0.5 text_align 0.5

I think xalign would ruin it, but you can try each one first to see which really works.
Your code looks a bit different though, I'm wondering if this from an old version of Ren'Py.

From what I remember, the save slot buttons have the text as part of the button, so to edit its alignment you need to go to gui.rpy and edit the style "slot_button_text"

@hell_oh_world: Yeah, I had used the old code because I wanted an imagemapped screen and I wasn't entirely sure how to do this layout with the new one.
If there's a better way to put this together with the new code, I'm all ears! The new GUI format is rather confusing when I want to overhaul most of the built-in layouts with imagemaps and imagebuttons.

Hmm... If it helps, there's actually a guide for the new gui https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/gui.html ... tion-guide.
I think that you can easily transfer this as the new version of Ren'Py (7.3.5) makes it easier to customize the save screen, you can do all the editing stuff in the file_slots screen in screens.rpy.
Can't really say though the process of moving this to the new gui as there's only a little bit of information that we know about your current screen setup.

OK, I think I sort of get it. I'll try looking more closely at the setup and the doc. The grids, hbox and vbox has always been rather daunting to me.
