Preparation for the custom Gallery Screen

Things to prepare in advance:

Renpy itself: Download Renpy here

Atom (or other editors are also possible): Download Atom here

1 picture as the background of the Confirm screen

1 as your frame picture showing yes or no 

It's what it looked like when I didn't change anything at first

After changing to a white background and a new frame (the background and frame you prepared at the beginning):

Change Text Size

If you want to change text size - You can open gui.rpy and find

define gui.confirm_button_text_xalign = 0.5 

Paste this code below this --> define gui.confirm_button_text_size =

Enter the size you want after the =

For example: define gui.confirm_button_text_size = 50

Change Text Color

If you want to Change Text Color   - You can open gui.rpy and find

define gui.confirm_button_text_xalign = 0.5 

Paste this code below this -->  define gui.confirm_button_text_color = 

Enter the color you want to use after the =

For example: define gui.confirm_button_text_color = "#4B0082"

Change Text displayed

If you want to Change Displayed Text - You need to find in screen.rpy 

these code:

                textbutton _("Yes") action yes_action

                textbutton _("No") action no_action

Change the text ("here") 

So if I change to agree (同意) and disagree (不同意):

                textbutton _(" 同意 ") action yes_action

                textbutton _(" 不同意 ") action no_action

The screen will look like this:

If you want to change "你確定要離開嗎? " This string

You can open common.rpy and find the following code

    # renpy/common/00gui.rpy:378

    old "Are you sure you want to quit?"

    new " 您確定您要離開嗎？"

Then you can change the in line new " here " (under old "Are you sure you want to quit?")

For example:

If I change to new " 您確定您要關閉遊戲了嗎？"

The screen will looks like this below:

Use Picture instead of Text

You can also use pictures to display the messages:

So you need to delete the code below firstly ↓↓

    add "gui/overlay/confirm.png"

 

    frame:

 

        vbox:

            xalign .5

            yalign .5

            spacing 30

 

            label _(message):

                style "confirm_prompt"

                xalign 0.5

 

            hbox:

                xalign 0.5

                spacing 100

 

                textbutton _(" yes ")  action yes_action

                textbutton _(" no") action no_action

 

    ## Right-click and escape answer "no".

    key "game_menu" action no_action

Then create a picture to display the screen

Example (image I use):

Then you can add the code below:

    if message == layout.QUIT:

        add "gui/Name Of Your Image.png"

        textbutton " The Text you want to display" xpos Where the text should appear - X-axis ypos Where the text should appear - Y axis action yes_action

        textbutton "The Text you want to display  " xpos Where the text should appear - X-axis ypos  Where the text should appear - Y axix  action no_action

Things mark with green color are the things you can customize

For Example ↓↓:

    if message == layout.QUIT:

        add "gui/sure.png"

        textbutton " 沒錯 " xpos 504 ypos 290 action yes_action

        textbutton " 在等等 " xpos 498 ypos 390 action no_action
