Spurious ui.close(), Means?

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:

    $ ui.interact()

Any idea how could it be? I just copy paste the readback/backlog code into my game (it's the latest Ren'Py version) and it didn't work then error message like this appeared. I've never encountered this problem before, usually the readback code works just fine on previous version of Ren'Py.

I remember this problem was reported before: http://lemmasoft.renai.us/forums/viewto ... 92#p335592
Anyway, a lot of ancient code that makes use of UI functions is having problems now. Maybe the solution would be rewriting those routines using screen language? I'm not a programmer, so I can't help.

The code seems to be working fine for me. Error means that something is trying to close erroneous ui stack somewhere, I also believe that it can only be caused by screen language (and not direct use of ui module without invoking a screen) but I wouldn't bet (a lot) of money on that belief.

Um, what should I do then? I want readback code functioning normally :/ Do I need to re-start all my code from scratch?

Are you sure to using the latest code? The wiki code has modified for 6.18.

Weird....now that I copy paste the code from here http://www.renpy.org/wiki/renpy/doc/coo ... xt_History it works like usual. Sorry for causing the problem before.

I just discovered this myself and went line by line comparing the old code (which I'd already modified quite a bit) vs the new one. Apparently the spurious ui.close error is connected to this old line...

Code: Select all

$ vp = ui.viewport(mousewheel = True, draggable = True, offsets=(0.0, yvalue), yadjustment = adj)

which has been updated/replaced with this in the 6.18 version.

Code: Select all

                has viewport:
                    mousewheel True
                    draggable True
                    yinitial yvalue
                    yadjustment adj

So the entire thing doesn't have to be redone from scratch.

Yep, I compared the new and old code and discovered the same thing. Thanks for clarify though
