moving text?

[brigid]

I'm sorry. I'm completely lost. I've tried reading some of the source code in games but I'm still lost.

I was wondering if it's possible for the text to be somewhere other than the bottom. And how do you make the menu items not be buttons?

I tried looking it up in the manual, but I can't find it. It could be there but I don't recognize it.

I feel so dumb.

Text at the bottom? Do you mean the window where all the dialogue appears? If it's that, you can change it's position on the y-axis with style.window.yalign = 0.5, with 0 being the top, 0.5 being the middle, and 1 being the bottom. Although, you can't use 1 for that since it's already defaulted to be at the bottom. xD You can look more into styles and properties here. You should put that in the options.rpy.

Or~ if you're talking about ui.text or something, you can use ui.at to position a ui.function, or do it a roundabout way by putting it into ui.window.

For the menu items not being buttons... ^^; Well, they have to be buttons to work... What exactly did you have in mind? Did you want them to be images (ui.imagebutton) or something?

Generally, in Ren'Py, floating point numbers are interpreted as fractions of the screen. So 1.0 will work even when 1 will not.

Yeah. That's what I mean. Thanks. ^_^

ui.text? No idea what that is. @.@

Um, well I'd seen in some games that the menu items are in the same space as the dialog and look like normal text. I guess they're still buttons in a way...

Thanks for the clarification there. ^_^

Now, to figure out where in the options file to put this and to work out the second question. (And make sense of the rest of the language. )

It appears to me that you what you want is NVL mode.
If you have the demo (the one with Eileen), it in Advanced Feature. NVL Mode.
Here's a snap shot of what NVL looks like in case you don't have the demo.

You can get the reference here:http://www.renpy.org/wiki/renpy/doc/reference/NVL_Mode

Wai! Thank you!

Now to decipher what it means. @.@ (And figure out how to change the text color of the menu items...)
