Ren'Py Text size [SOLVED]

User_286102 · May 29, 2019

Hi friends

I created a button to call a list, the list of characters in the game....
this list appears in a frame, vbox...
but now this list is too long.
I have several options....
1. put the rest of the list to be next to the top of the list... I don't like it
2. reduce the number of characters... no!!!!!
3. reduce the size of the text so that the list is shorter... I like it

I can reduce the text of the interface "in the gui.rpy file"but I don't like it, I only want to reduce this list.
So I created this:

Code:

vbox:
            style_prefix "yourtextstyle"
            text "Characters"
            null height 4
           " the list apear here"


style yourtextstyle_text is gui_interface
style yourtextstyle_text:
   text_size = 16

don't work:
i ve an error say: style property text_size is not known.
text_size"red arrow" 16

i've try:
text_size = 16
and
text_size "16"

I'm not sure, but try this...
In gui.rpy:

Code:

style yourtextstyle_text:
     size 16

In script.rpy (or any other name you're using):
NOTE: I guess you haven't written the whole code, and that vbox is inside a frame as you comment, and all that inside a screen command.

Code:

vbox:
     style_prefix "yourtextstyle"
     text "Characters"
     null height 4
     " the list apear here"

No, yourtextstyle_text in gui.rpy file don't work, the same error

yes i've a frame and a image button for open all that

here's what I did with the color

Code:

screen buttoncal():
    imagebutton auto "icon/buttoncal_%s.png" action If(renpy.get_screen("calendar"), Hide("calendar"), Show("calendar")) align (0.15, 0.02)

screen calendar():
    frame:
        xpadding 20
        ypadding 10
        xalign 0.26
        yalign 0.40

        vbox:
            style_prefix "yourstatstyle"
            align(0.60, 0.20)
            text "Calendar: [daycalendar]"
            null height 10
            image "[imagecalendar]"
            null height 10

default daycalendar = "Friday Morning"
default imagecalendar = "calendar01"

style yourstatstyle_text is gui_text
style yourstatstyle_text:
   color "#990000"

that works!!!

now what I did with the text size

Code:

screen buttonchara():
    imagebutton auto "icon/buttonchara_%s.png" action If(renpy.get_screen("test_frame"), Hide("test_frame"), Show("test_frame")) align (0.03, 0.02)

screen test_frame():
    frame:
        xpadding 20
        ypadding 20
        xalign 0.10
        yalign 0.08

        vbox:
            style_prefix "yourtextstyle"
            text "Characters"
            null height 4
            ...here the caractere list...

style yourtextstyle_text is gui_interface_text
style yourtextstyle_text:
   text_size 16

don't work ???

"text_size" isn't correct, just put "size 16"

Yes I've seen this, but it doesn't work in frames and vbox
I don't receive an error but the text size doesn't change

I don't know how you put the "carectere list", but if you use "text", you can try this:

Code:

screen test_frame():
    frame:
        xpadding 20
        ypadding 20
        xalign 0.10
        yalign 0.08

        vbox:
            text "{size=24}{color=#ffffff}Characters"  ## another size/color
            null height 4
            text "{size=16}{color=#000000}first caractere..."
            text "{size=16}{color=#000000}second caractere..."

User_286102 · May 29, 2019

no unfortunately I don't use a simple "text" but a "button text"

Code:

if renpy.get_screen("amelia01"):
                textbutton "Amelia" action Hide("amelia01") sensitive iknowamelia==True
            else:
                textbutton "Amelia" action Show("amelia01") sensitive iknowamelia==True

I can't put the size and color code in this line

Yes, you can in the same way:

Code:

if renpy.get_screen("amelia01"):
                textbutton "{size=16}Amelia" action Hide("amelia01") sensitive iknowamelia==True
            else:
                textbutton "{size=16}Amelia" action Show("amelia01") sensitive iknowamelia==True

Oh yes that work... so nice

directly on the character's name and not in the line, it makes sense
I tried but I put it in the line, like you did for the example with the "text"

again a very big thank you mgomez0077 you are the best

Porcus Dev · May 29, 2019

Or...are you tried this?:

Code:

screen buttonchara():
    imagebutton auto "icon/buttonchara_%s.png" action If(renpy.get_screen("test_frame"), Hide("test_frame"), Show("test_frame")) align (0.03, 0.02)

screen test_frame():
    frame:
        xpadding 20
        ypadding 20
        xalign 0.10
        yalign 0.08

        vbox:
            style_prefix "yourtextstyle"
            text "Characters"
            null height 4
            ...here the caractere list...

style yourtextstyle_text:
   size 16

You're welcome

You can try the last example, I think it might work, too.

style yourtextstyle_text:
   size 16

this is change only the word "Characters" ahah

No, instead of this:

Code:

style yourtextstyle_text is gui_interface_text
style yourtextstyle_text:
   text_size 16

Just try this:

Code:

style yourtextstyle_text:
   size 16

User_286102 · May 29, 2019

Yes i do that
i delete the first line
that change only the word Characters

Characters appear in the frame too
characters change size but not the text button with characters name
It's weird

but the other solution work fine thank you

Porcus Dev · May 29, 2019

Ups, yes, of course, because you use "textbutton" instead of "text", sorry...

Perhaps this works:

Code:

style yourtextstyle_button_text:
   size 16

User_286102 · May 29, 2019

Oh, yeah, you're right, it works with that one.
you found just after I changed all the characters one after one

Porcus Dev · May 29, 2019

Good!

Styles are sometimes difficult to understand in Renpy... it would be nice if it were as easy as with a text editor

User_286102 · May 29, 2019

Yes sometime hard to understand but not for you...
most people find a solution when there is a problem...
you, you find two solutions

Porcus Dev · May 29, 2019

Oh, believe me, for me too
