Lemma Soft Forums

I would like to make a theme function. I believe I read that ren'py doesn't support user defined functions (more than one line long)... So I thought maybe a subroutine would work. But putting a call statement inside of an init block seems to always give me errors.

Also, in creating my own theme, it seems like I'm setting a lot of styles to have the same values. If I wanted to set all labels, buttons, prompts, etc. to have the same styles (perhaps with minor changes afterward), is there a way to do that which is easier than setting them all individually?

Styles are based on inheritance, right? So defining them for the parent should enable them for several children. Also, there was a function for changing a style's parent, I believe.

Themes are usually python function, but for a single game you can use an init python block. There are a relatively small number of styles a theme has to define, and they are listed at:

http://www.renpy.org/wiki/renpy/doc/ref ... stom_Theme

Yes, I've seen that list and I think it's incomplete. It says nothing about style.say_label, style.say_dialogue, style.say_window, or style.menu_choice. I assume there are a few that I'm missing. Information about these styles is scattered around the documentation, which made finding it difficult.

As for just using an init block, I didn't want to worry about init block priority... It's not a big deal though. I would like to clarify one thing though- are call statements inside init blocks illegal?
