Hello, sorry to bother you again, but I have another question. The code you directed me to is great, but I have one issue. In your game, most (all?) of your dialog is said by the narrator. I am able to get the CTC icon to display on a defined Character like this:

image ctc_anchored:

"images/metro_studio_icons/CheckBox-WF-128.png"

yalign 0.96 xalign 0.95 # Adjust these numbers to fit your own textbox

linear 0.75 alpha 1.0

linear 0.75 alpha 0.0

repeat

define vo = Character("Voice in your head", color = "#6699cc", ctc = "ctc_anchored", ctc_position = "fixed")

vo "That static, you've heard it before, but where?"

But to the best of my knowledge the Narrator has no define function, so how do I set the CTC options for the narrator and still have no character label displayed (like in your game)?

Thanks for the help. Your Itch.io page has no donate option, I'd like to send you a few bucks.

Yeah I had to define my narrator's text as a character, and I set the character name to None so no name appears over the text. So yours would look like:

define vo = Character(None, color = "#6699cc", ctc = "ctc_anchored", ctc_position = "fixed")

At least that's how I did it. I’m really poor at programming so if that doesn't work you may want to try the lemmasoft forums.

Many thanks if you'd like to contribute! Every small bit helps. I think the best way to give would be the Part One art book because you get something in return. But for a simple straight donation I have a ko-fi tip jar.

Thank you, that worked a charm. I did not know about the NONE parameter. Problem solved. Keep on writing, I'm looking forward to your next chapters.
