Text Box Disappearing

Whenever I change images (backgrounds, characters, screens) the dialogue text box disappears. Now I constantly use "With Dissolve" in my game since it's easier on my eyes.
For example
Code: Select all
scene bg
with Dissolve(.3)
show dude
with Dissolve(.3)
dude "The textbox is showing."
show dude sad
with Dissolve(.3)
dude "It disappeared while I changed expressions and reappeared after the dissolve."
I want to keep the dialogue text box and dialogue on screen while the character's images are changing. Any way to accomplish this?
Thanks

The textbox is disappearing and reappearing because you're using dissolve. Thats what that function is intended to do.
Try fade or simply nothing instead.
Did you change any config settings in options.rpy?

The textbox still disappears and the entire screen fades to black then fades from black with the new image. Like a magic trick.
Nothing would work, but then the character's appearance and changes are too sudden and like I said, it hurts my eyes.

The only thing I changed was the default cps.

I'll take a look when at a computer with renpy installed.
It sounds odd and not supposed to do that.
