Help with styles and screen language

[ashewalton]

I've had no problem modifying the existing main menu screens to look how I want, but when I try and create styles for an entirely new screen I get the error:

File "game\scene_01_a_groggy_morning.rpy", line 145, in script
File "game\script.rpy", line 131, in python
Exception: The style battle does not exist.

options.rpy

Code: Select all

style.battle_frame.background = None

script.rpy

Code: Select all

screen battle:
                
        ## Party Frame    
        frame:
            style "battle"
            #### (xpos, ypos, width, height)   
            area (0, 337, 960, 207)
            image "ui/screen_battle/party_bg.png"

scene_01.rpy

Code: Select all

call screen battle

Here's the full code if anyone needs it, but the filesize is huge because all of my PSDs are in there, too (sorry!)

I'm really interested in the answer to this, because I've been having the same problem...

Have you tried changing the style from "battle_frame" to "battle"? How about making sure the rest of it is linked to "Style(style.default)"?

I believe I have tried without the _frame as well, but specifically I need to be able to edit the style for the frame. As it stands right now, the widget background is applying to the frame making it look like this:

When it should look like this:

I can create custom styles if they're in the format of xxxxx_menu, but it's a clunky solution to me and I don't understand why the style name has to be suffixed by _menu.

As for Style(style.default), where would I call that? Above the first style.battle in options.rpy?
