Hey for some reason My MC_Name portion isn't flipping / using the right frames and icons? Right now its showing as received instead of sent. Does anyone else have this issue / know how to fix it ??
right now I have it as: define MC_Name = "[povname]"
because I am allowing my players to choose their own name. Does it not work here? Whenever a message sends as [povname] its using the received frames and icons and won't change no matter what I change 'MC_Name' to. Not having this problem with any other character I've added.
go in to PhoneTexting.rpy and remove "define MC_name =" line, then replace all the "MC_name" variable used in that file to "povname" . Hope everything will work as you desired.
I downloaded this for a game im making and i came across an issue i havent figured out (im very new to coding so sorry if this is an easy fix lol). I had the phone working at first, but after adding more dialogue, the phone disappeared and left just the normal text box. They are formatted like the phone, but the phone's images arent there. Ill try attaching a picture. Any help is appreciated!
There is a way. In one of my games, I ended up having to create a phone text code and repeating it several times for each character, including te background and the icon for their texts. Even for the separate images. I created a screen for each character such as this example. It allows the background to change and the icons to work correctly the way I needed them to.
Anyone know why the text in some of the messages is being cut at the start of the message? And is there a way to create a line break between convos? Also when I close the convo out, the last message sort of pops up right before the phone close.
idk if you're still having this issue but I had this issue and hopefully my fix can help you or somebody else. I think it's caused by changing the nvl-mode settings in gui.rpy. to fix this, i copied all of the nvl-mode settings from gui.rpy from yet-another-phone, and pasted it over the same settings in my gui.rpy file. i think this just changes them back to default but, thats what fixed it for me.
Great system, just wondering, is there a way to have multiple conversation histories? Currently switching to a different character just adds the message to the current history, so there's the option to clear it to make it a new convo, but is there a way to bring back the old history without making it all appear as new messages? Would love the immersion of keeping the conversation going. Thanks!
Oh gosh this was so helpful but it took quite a while to get EXACTLY what I wanted. However it was so worth it. As a noob, this was so much easier to understand than everything else/other options. THANK YOU SO MUCH NIGHTEN (&Vimi for the tutorial)
This script does not natively support choices BUT I found a post on reddit by Broken___Glass and Tomb166 on Reddit that has the barebones. With lots and lots of fiddling around with the visual settings (at least for a Renpy noob like me). I can't find the post again but if you can find that reddit post, you'll get the clue to adding choices!!!
There are also some reddit posts that help with the positioning of the text on mobile devices like Android. Nighten's phone is so easy to use with all the tutorials. You can do it!!!
Good day people of Itch.io. I have come to you in my hour of need for you see, whenever I start a conversation, instead of the messages displaying on the phone it displays as a common textbox. It would be greatly appreciated if you could provide your input on the matter.
Hopefully you have found the answer in the last 2 months, but in case someone else comes here for the same request, you just need to change draggable True to False in the PhoneTexting.rpy > screen PhoneDialogue

I'm having an issue where the text isn't wrapping in the chat and I haven't changed anything from the default file?
Please does this phone work on Android? Because the MC's dialogue isn't showing on Android but showing on PC. Please do you know how to fix?

does anyone know if it's possible to code in multiple icons for different characters? i've tried doing additional ifs and elif but nothing worked.

As you can see, I changed the screen name to the nvl_phonetext(character name)(dialogue). This allowed me to keep the changes between each character.
i'll try this out. thanks!

This is AWESOME! Works like a charm and super easy to customize too. Thank you so much for this!

Can you help me? i tried copy and try the code but it's not working.
This is great.
Is it free to use in any project like adult novel as well as commercially?
Bonjour,
Est ce que c'est possible d'ajouter un "Est en train d’écrire..." en "animation" ou non mais qui ne reste pas pour plus d’immersion s'il vous plaît ?
Merci en tous cas le code fonctionne parfaitement :)

This issue has since been resolved
sorry i know this is a very old comment but any chance you can tell me how you fixed it? Thank you
Is there a way to make it so the dialogue will still advance if the phone is clicked?
Hopefully you have found the answer in the last 2 months, but in case someone else comes here for the same request, you just need to change draggable True to False in the PhoneTexting.rpy > screen PhoneDialogue
Thanks!
