Help!!

#1 Post by stephanatos »

Hey everyone,
I'm not much of a computer person, so I'm just wondering what this means:

I'm sorry, but an exception occured while executing your Ren'Py
script.

UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode bytes in position 11541-11542: invalid data

While parsing /Users/stephnat/Desktop/renpy-6.3.3/Kyoko Hanajima's Sacrifice/game/script.rpy.

Of course, I understand that there was an error, but I don't know what kind of error!
Please reply ASAP! Thanks!

This is likely because you used non-ascii characters, but didn't save as UTF-8.

What editor are you using?

Well, I'm on a Mac and I'm using TextEditor.
Everything else you said, I have no idea what you're talking about! ;)
