lining up the text with the message box 1920 x 1080

[Phantom]

I have tried everything but I'm getting really annoyed with it.
I can't get it to line up correctly.
And the way you have to position your text box is incredibly difficult (it is for me anyway)
How do I get it to be in the right position with with text and all?
If anyone can help me I'd appreciate it, I'd like to continue with my project because I'm stuck right now.

I just keep changing the x and y of the message box until it fits exactly where I want it. Requires a bit of patience.

Doesn't that work for 1980 x 1080?

I already did that so many times, I just can't get it to the right position.
Right now the text continues outside of the text box and the name of my character is floating around somewhere :p
It annoys me greatly because I can't continue wit my story...

If the text is outside of the text box, I assume you're using a custom textbox image? I had the same problem :)

You see where it says "set the text distance from the window edges", that part is the key. Or it was for me. If you're using a custom image for the text background, then your text won't automatically fit into that. You should make the text image the same size as the text window, roughly, and then you need to set up your margins. So top, right, left and bottom indicate to the system how much away from the edges your text should display.

Well thx, I finally managed to fix it (kinda)
I still think this system is terrible and annoying but I was able to position it after 2 hours.
