1.19.24 multiline title possible issue?

Post by Spannerbag »

Hi,
Using Windows 11.

Not sure if this is an issue with my campaign or not hence this post.
On v18 a multiline title with title_alignment=center each line of the title was individually centered:
v18 title_alignment.jpg

But on v1.19.24 title_alignment=centerlooks like this (I've changed the text sizes but the layour code is the same):
v19 title_alignment.jpg

Using title_position=center,top I see:
v19 title_position no padding.jpg

title_position=centered has a similar issue:
v19 title_position centered.jpg

I can work around this by combining title_position=center,top with padding spaces:
v19 title_position.jpg

Note that this might be specific to this campaign because I only just noticed during this testing session that both v18 and v19 when "skip" is selected during the story it shows the last [story][part] rather than exiting entirely. Sadly am now out of time and have to do rl stuff hence this post.

Nothing in logs.

If anyone could either replicate what I'm seeing (or not) that would be much appreciated!

Cheers!

From the documentation, it sounds like this is probably an intentional change in version 1.19/1.20 (title_position did not even exist until version 1.19.17).

That sounds like a hideous hack... :lol:

Can't you just use both title_position and title_alignment together?

Code: Select all

    [story]
        [part]
            title= _ "<span size='xx-large'>Leafsea Burning</span>
<span font-style='italic'>An unrecorded tale</span>"
            title_position=center,top
            title_alignment=center
            ...

Worked first time, thanks! :D

I read the doc'n to mean that title_position centered each line of text not the title text block as a whole (if that makes sense).
Or, to put it anogther way, for some reason I assumed title_position included title_alignment's functionality? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It would've been helpful (to me anyway) if the doc'n had used consistent terminology, e.g.
title_alignment: specifies the alignment of the title text in the text box....
...
title_position: (Version 1.19.17 and later only) specifies the position of the title text box...
My wording's not great but something like that might IMHO make the function of the two keys a bit clearer?

Anyway, thanks again for your suggestion, much appreciated :) - just wish I'd interpreted the doc'n properly myself! :doh: :augh:

Another non-problem solved. :roll:

Cheers!
