Different Nameboxes for Different Characters [SOLVED]

[Thee Forsaken One]

I've been trying to get custom nameboxes working using some tutorials I've found scattered about this forum. I haven't been able to get it working, however. All the variations keep producing the same traceback:

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
  File "game/script.rpy", line 12, in script
    
Exception: Unknown keyword arguments: who_window_style

These are the relevant parts of the code (I'm testing using the default game structure):

In script.rpy:

Code: Select all

# Declare characters used by this game.
define e = Character('Eileen', color="#c8ffc8", show_who_window_style="say_who_windowBrown", show_two_window = True)

In options.rpy:

Code: Select all

    style.say_who_windowBlue = Style ('say_who_window')
    style.say_who_windowBlue.background = "UI/Textbox/name_tag_blue.png"
    
    style.say_who_windowBrown = Style ('say_who_window')
    style.say_who_windowBrown.background = "UI/Textbox/name_tag_brown.png"
    
    style.say_who_windowGreen = Style ('say_who_window')
    style.say_who_windowGreen.background = "UI/Textbox/name_tag_green.png"
    
    style.say_who_windowOrange = Style ('say_who_window')
    style.say_who_windowOrange.background = "UI/Textbox/name_tag_orange.png"
    
    style.say_who_windowPink = Style ('say_who_window')
    style.say_who_windowPink.background = "UI/Textbox/name_tag_pink.png"
    
    style.say_who_windowYellow = Style ('say_who_window')
    style.say_who_windowYellow.background = "UI/Textbox/name_tag_yellow.png"

In screens.rpy:

Code: Select all

screen say(who, what, side_image=None, two_window=False):

    # Decide if we want to use the one-window or two-window variant.
        
    default side_image = None
    default two_window = False
    default who_window_style = "say_who_window"
    
    if not two_window:

        # The one window variant.
        window:
            id "window"

            has vbox:
                style "say_vbox"

            if who:
                text who id "who"

            text what id "what"

    else:

        # The two window variant.
        vbox:
            style "say_two_window_vbox"

            if who:           
                window:
                    style who_window_style # New Style!

                    text who:
                        id "who"

            window:
                id "window"

                has vbox:
                    style "say_vbox"

                text what id "what"

    # If there's a side image, display it above the text.
    if side_image:
        add side_image
    else:
        add SideImage() xalign 0.0 yalign 1.0

    # Use the quick menu.
    use quick_menu

Any ideas? I'm completely stumped.

You want to declare who_window_style as an argument, not a default.

Code: Select all

define e = Character('Eileen', color="#c8ffc8", show_who_window_style="say_who_windowBrown", show_two_window = True, show_who_window_style="say_who_window"):
    # ...

You seem to have repeated an argument in that character definition. Am I missing something?

EDIT: Nevermind, I got what you were talking about. Thank you very much.

I'm trying to do this on latest RenPy and RenPy says that I have argument repeated, if I'm deleting repeating argument I get

Code: Select all

Exception: Unknown keyword arguments: who_window_style

Hi, Vytswell,

I think when defining character you need to use window_style: check the documentation https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/dialogue ... er-objects.

Code: Select all

define e = Character('Eileen', color="#c8ffc8", window_style="say_who_windowBrown"):

I'm getting

Code: Select all

Exception: Style 'say_who_windowGray' does not exist.

But I have this style in my options.rpy

Code: Select all

$ style.say_who_windowGray = Style ('say_who_window')
$ style.say_who_windowGray.background = "gui/colored/gray.png"

$ style.say_who_windowGray = Style ('say_who_window')
$ style.say_who_windowGray.background = "gui/colored/gray.png"

Just checked and it worked for me:

Code: Select all

init python:
    style.say_who_windowGray = Style ('say_who_window')
    style.say_who_windowGray.background = "#ffff"
    
define e = Character("Eileen", color="#ff0000", what_color = "#ff0000", window_style = "say_who_windowGray")

label start:
    e "Window style test"

Check the spelling, Force Recompile, etc.
