More questions, because I feed off you're answers, apparently. Firstly, is there a way, in either screen language or just during style definition, that I can set a value based on a parent value? For example: window: #this window may not always be the same size style "predefined_window" vbox: style "...

using quotes just spits out a "str object not callable" error. That said, I got a show statement to work. Not sure what changed, maybe there was a persistent typo I kept making every time I tried to call it before. I also discovered a "nvl show" somewhere in the script, which I imagine was not helpi...

I have tried it both in and out of init blocks (the documentation says image statements will act like they're in init blocks either way, so I figured trying outside couldn't hurt), but it gives me the same error.

I seem to be having trouble defining an image. I want to do this in Options file so I can use it in a custom style, but I've tried it in the script file for testing purposes: image bookLeft = im.Flip(im.Crop("UI Spritesheet.png", (720, 0, 720, 720)), horizontal=True) any reference to bookLeft, howev...

"renpy.Python.RevertableDict" The weirdest part is that I use dicts elsewhere in the code and they don't seem to have exploded, yet. At this point I'm probably just going to re-write the whole function, since it is rather unwieldy as it is now. Still have no idea where this error is coming from, tho...

Just for the record: if str(id) in earnedProgress: is better Python than: if earnedProgress.has_key(str(id)): but there is no chance that this will fix your error :( That's good to know, actually. I'll remember that. I'd always wondered about the import renpy.exports as renpy thing. I forget if it ...

It is absurd, hence my need to ask. I get the same error even using dict() or _dict() The exact code throwing the error is... init python: import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET import math import renpy.store as store import renpy.exports as renpy ... earnedProgress = _dict() def achievement(type, id, s...

To avoid defining unnecessary Object types, I'm using a dict to store some data in my current project, but when I declare the empty ones in an init python block, apparently they're being declared as "revertableList" types! init python: dict1 = {} dict2 = {} dict1['testcase'] = 0 dict1.has_key('testc...

Thank you for enduring my inane questions. This is exactly what I needed.

is there a Python function call for that, or will I have to make one?

I have a(nother) questions about renpy.display_menu(): when using it with nvl mode, even when calling a custom screen to show the menu (as opposed to "choice", "nvl", or "nvl_menu", all of which either break or just call the screen as an adv-mode screen), it still clears the nvl screen to show just ...

I was afraid of that. Oh well, I guess that means I have to play around with screen language some more. Thanks for the answer.

since I need to build my menus dynamically, I need to make use of renpy.display_menu(), but even with the "$menu = nvl_menu" line, it jumps to a normal menu out of nvl mode. I tried $Chosen = renpy.display_menu(buildMenu(Page, Player), screen="nvl") but that just spits out a "name dialog is not defi...

It's always something simple. Perhaps I should stop over thinking things.

For a point of reference, what, then, are the benefits of inheriting from style.default aside from resetting all the properties? Or are resetting all the properties the main benefit?

I'm making custom styles for my current project, and while ultimately they will likely be overwritten for development it would be nice to keep the theme rules intact so we can see what we're doing during testing. For some reason (very likely my lack of understanding of styles and screen code), my cu...
