Hi everyone,

I'm having an issue where all the text is overlapping on my history screen.

: Untitled-2.png (128.11 KiB) Viewed 597 times

I've figured out that the issue is this line here.

## The height of a history screen entry, or None to make the height variable at
## the cost of performance.
define gui.history_height = 66 #None

The height is always at 66 no matter how much text a piece of dialogue has, so anything with more than 2 lines of text begins to overlap.

To fix this issue, I've tried editing the line to "None" as the comment suggests.

Code: Select all

## The height of a history screen entry, or None to make the height variable at
## the cost of performance.
define gui.history_height = None

Whenever I do this, then enter the history screen, the game crashes and I get the following error:

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
File "renpy/common/00gamemenu.rpy", line 173, in script
$ ui.interact()
File "renpy/common/00gamemenu.rpy", line 173, in <module>
$ ui.interact()
Exception: Fixed fit width (32767.0) is too large.

What does this mean? I couldn't find this error with a google search. How can I fix this error and get a variable height for the dialogue on my history screen?

Are these individual lines of dialogue, or one large entry?

Individual lines of dialogue.

In this example, the lines are:

"This maybe happened, or maybe did not."
"The time is long past, and much is forgot."
"Back in the old days, when wishing worked, your mother had twelve children and had to work night and day just to feed them."
"When you were born as the thirteenth, she had no idea what to do. She took you up in her arms and ran right out into the darkness of the forest, promising that she would ask the first man she met to be your Godfather."

I've tried deleting everything out of the script except for these 4 lines and it still gives the error.

IS this a standard history screen? Were there any changes to it? It looks like position of each element is set manually instead of relying on any container (this might be why size was set explicitely)

have you modify the history page?

try using yspacing 5 or 10 for the text

or cut this sentence down to two parts

"When you were born as the thirteenth, she had no idea what to do. She took you up in her arms and ran right out into the darkness of the forest, promising that she would ask the first man she met to be your Godfather."

look something like this don't this one mine has been modified

Code: Select all

style history_text: <--- search for this
    yspacing 10 < ----- this
    xpos gui.history_text_xpos
    ypos gui.history_text_ypos
    #xanchor gui.history_text_xalign
    xsize 1920
    #min_width 1920
    #text_align gui.history_text_xalign
    #layout ("subtitle" if gui.history_text_xalign else "tex")
    color "#0099cc"
    outlines [(5, "#111111", 0, 0)]
    font "font/foo_regular.ttf"

Hi everyone,

Thank you for all your help and suggestions.

I'm very confused but, when I opened renpy tonight to try implementing them, the error was gone. I have no idea what happened to fix it... I didn't change anything, and I'm using the same PC I was last time. I even tried reverting the project to previous versions and still couldn't replicate the error.

The history is now displaying as I want, with a variable amount of space that fits each piece of text.

Thanks again to everyone. I'll keep going and see if the error pops up again.
