  • Theming Random Rumor (RR1)

    From Alpha@21:4/158.2 to All on Thu Aug 6 11:24:54 2020

    Enigma theming question!

    Where do I set the option for modifying/theming a pre-defined MCI code in a menu? For instance, a Main Menu instance of a Random Rumor (%RR1)?

    I'd like to apply a python string format... But not sure where in either theme.json or theme_name-main.json I should do this... Thanks for any pointers.

    Cheers,

    Alpha

    If for example you have a menu entry "mainMenu" and the art contains %RR1, you can customize that view in your theme.hjson's "mainMenu" entry for RR1. Is that




















































































































































































    what you're after, or am I misunderstanding?

    I'm using the stock blocktronics theme - I feel like I'm missing something really basic LOL...

    If you're going to do theme customization, make your own theme as step 1 (see docs for details):

    - copy luciano_blocktronics my_theme
    - update mytheme/theme.hjson 'info' section at a minmum

    theme.hjson controls theming elements. See docs / look at the default one as examples.

    Gotcha. I'm working from my own theme file. In theme.hjson I've added an
    entry for the main menu (onl, within the "menus:" block--

    mainMenu: {
    mci: {
    RR1: {
    itemFormat: "|04{rumor!styleL33t}"
    }
    }
    }

    ...but this must be wrong, because the screen freezes when I do this... Any ideas? thanks!
