phone_icon_overlay is defined in phone_gui.rpy. I must have left a reference to it inside the actual phone.rpy... and....
Yep, delete line 3410 and line 3411!
And make sure you remove it from ikps_phone_home_back_action in phone config too if youre not using my GUI
If it keeps happening just create a screen with that name that does nothing, it wont break anything ;D
As for changing the name.... thats the _title of the phone shell when you open a contact, or on the contacts screen. You'd need to set the name they choose to a variable, and on the chat screen run a check when _title is set, if _title == 'mc', set it to the name that was chosen instead. line 1991 I believe.....
Same thing for the contacts screen when it shows the names for the contacts, which happens at 2667.
Those lines might be off a little, I'm not sure if the version im looking at is the currently uploaded one, let me know if it's wrong and i can look properly
I have been working on a release that does this plus a load more stuff but I've been roped into making 3 different games so my time is... limited rn :')
Okay! I'm back. My first issue is completely solved! The second thing I was okay with until this part of your explanation: "Then default var_kps_new_mc_name anywhere, just so anything, or an empty string, then after they have chosen the name just run $ var_kps_new_mc_name = their_chosen_name"
Does the first half mean that I run this: $ var_kps_new_mc_name = "default"
The second half with this command: $ var_kps_new_mc_name = their_chosen_name - do I type that exactly?
And (I'm so sorry) an additional thing, how do I force the phone icon to stay accessible in the corner? I currently cannot access it outside of forcing the phone open for conversations
Yo i had this problem aswell, for anyone else that wants to make the chats easier to handle if the player choses their own name, this is how i did it:
search for " if speaker == phone_data['name']: "
and replace with if " speaker == phone_data['name'] or speaker == "PLAYER": "
then in your conversations just use PLAYER as the name of the sender:
{"PLAYER": "You seemed a bit quiet tonight. Everything good?"},
{"Nora": "I'm fine. Just taking it all in."},
{"PLAYER": "Fair enough. It's weird being back."},
{"Nora": "A little"},
