this might seem really easy and simple but i havent touched renpy in a long time and documentation isnt helping me so i thought i would ask here.
neither
define gui.dialogue_text_xalign = 0.5
nor
define gui.dialogue_xpos = 600
really center it proprely.
i need the text to format appropriately. not just "start' at the beginning. but that it fills the appropriate space in the middle

Are you trying to make the text "justified"?
Use an xalign and additionally add an xfill True

Which text are you talking about.
When I suggested an xfill before, I forgot to ask.
Do you mean the dialogue text?

Bumps are fine most of the time.
I forgot to reply and currently I am away from my laptop.
I would suggest looking for things related to the text box in gui.rpy, but I can't currently suggest what as I don't have access to any copy of renpy at the moment.

The defaults are:
Code: Select all
define gui.dialogue_xpos = 268
define gui.dialogue_ypos = 50
## The maximum width of dialogue text, in pixels.
define gui.dialogue_width = 744
## The horizontal alignment of the dialogue text. This can be 0.0 for left-
## aligned, 0.5 for centered, and 1.0 for right-aligned.
define gui.dialogue_text_xalign = 0.0
You have 268 pixels of left margin by the dialogue frame pushed that side. Set it to 0.
You should also probably change the width of the dialogue frame from 744 to your window size.
then set dialogue_text_align to 0.5.

this just pushes my text to the left, to the point where most of the message gets cut off.

Can you show a mock screenshot of what you want and a screenshot if what you currently have along with the relevant code you have right now?

Are these normal dialogue lines? They look as menu voices. Or just "text". Or whatever.
Anyway:
Code: Select all
define gui.dialogue_xpos = 0.5
define gui.dialogue_text_xalign = 0.5
That's the example in the gui doc, and it worked for me.
Did you try to erase permanent data too from the launcher?

omg finally that worked. i had no idea you could put decimals in xpos! it was a regular number so i assumed i cant just switch it to a decimal

There's two forms of numbering, when you use whole numbers, it changes the position based on the number of pixels.
If you use a decimal, it's a percentage, with a range of 0.0 to 1.0, 1.0 being 100%, 0.5 being 50%, 0.0 being 0%, etc.
