Lint and side images

[yuucie]

I've had this problem before on an old project, but now that I'm starting a new one from scratch it baffles me that it's still here.

Lint is turning up errors for side images. I have no idea why, because to my knowledge, everything looks to be correct. The side images are showing up fine ingame.

Lint report:


game/script.rpy:293 Could not find image (e wor1) corresponding to attributes on say statement.

game/script.rpy:305 Could not find image (e wor1) corresponding to attributes on say statement.

game/script.rpy:313 Could not find image (e sur1) corresponding to attributes on say statement.

game/script.rpy:319 Could not find image (e ser1) corresponding to attributes on say statement.

game/script.rpy:323 Could not find image (e wor1) corresponding to attributes on say statement.

etc etc.

My code for side images:

Code: Select all

image side e neu1:
    "sprites/8neu1.png"
    yanchor 0.5 ypos 0.8
image side e neu2:
    "sprites/8neu2.png"
    yanchor 0.5 ypos 0.8
image side e neu3:
    "sprites/8neu1b.png"
    yanchor 0.5 ypos 0.8
image side e ang1:
    "sprites/8ang1.png"
    yanchor 0.5 ypos 0.8

The defining character line:

Code: Select all

    define e = DynamicCharacter("eight_name", color="#ffffff", show_two_window=True, image="e", show_side_xalign=-0.01, show_side_yalign=1.9)

The offending script lines:

Code: Select all

    e wor1 "(Huh? When did she get there?)"

Code: Select all

    e sur1 "“Excuse me?”"

I tried looking through past posts, but no one seemed to have figured out why. Just wondering if anyone else has this problem with side images too.

Unless there are more definitions you haven't shown, the issue seems to be that you don't have corresponding side images for the various expressions.
ie. upon running the line

Code: Select all

e wor1 "(Huh? When did she get there?)"

the game looks for the side image "side e wor1", which hasn't been defined.

Thanks for the reply! It's part of the defining character line, more specifically

Code: Select all

    define e = DynamicCharacter("eight_name", color="#ffffff", show_two_window=True, image="e", show_side_xalign=-0.01, show_side_yalign=1.9)

where image="e" asks the definition to look for images with the "e" tag and assign it as a side image. The documentation I'm using is here: http://www.renpy.org/doc/html/side_image.html which, according to it, seems like it should work?

EDIT Oops, read your question wrong. No, I defined all the images already; there's just too many to list.

The full list:

Code: Select all

image side e neu1:
    "sprites/8neu1.png"
    yanchor 0.5 ypos 0.8
image side e neu2:
    "sprites/8neu2.png"
    yanchor 0.5 ypos 0.8
image side e neu3:
    "sprites/8neu1b.png"
    yanchor 0.5 ypos 0.8
image side e ang1:
    "sprites/8ang1.png"
    yanchor 0.5 ypos 0.8
image side e ang2:
    "sprites/8ang2.png"
    yanchor 0.5 ypos 0.8
image side e hap:
    "sprites/8hap1.png"
    yanchor 0.5 ypos 0.8
image side e sad1:
    "sprites/8sad1.png"
    yanchor 0.5 ypos 0.8
image side e sad2:
    "sprites/8sad2.png"
    yanchor 0.5 ypos 0.8
image side e ser1:
    "sprites/8ser1.png"
    yanchor 0.5 ypos 0.8
image side e ser2:
    "sprites/8ser2.png"
    yanchor 0.5 ypos 0.8
image side e sur1:
    "sprites/8sur1.png"
    yanchor 0.5 ypos 0.8
image side e sur2:
    "sprites/8sur2.png"
    yanchor 0.5 ypos 0.8
image side e wor1:
    "sprites/8wor1.png"
    yanchor 0.5 ypos 0.8
image side e wor2:
    "sprites/8wor2.png"
    yanchor 0.5 ypos 0.8

Hm, in that case, unless it's a bug in lint itself, the only explanation I could see would be the obvious: that some of the defined images (the actual PNG files) are misnamed or completely missing. eg. If the file supposed to be at sprites/8wor1.png was actually sprites/8wor1.jpg or sprites/8wor.png.

Thanks again for your reply! It's not the case of mistyped addresses, or the images won't show up ingame. The images are showing up fine; the problem is Lint, that is telling me there's an error when it's working.

I'm having this exact same error as well, Lint states there is an error with the side image not being defined or not finding it for say statement. But the images are showing up perfectly. This is causing an error in game, saying image isn't found in red text when it is showing just fine.

I read it has something to do with defining main sprite and side sprite, but when I do that (or double up the sprites- one as image side and another as just image) then the side sprite won't show at all.

Sorry to jump in on this thread, it's just I was hoping for an answer to this too and didn't want to start whole new thread on it

yuucie didn't mention the error showing up in-game, only in lint. Perhaps your error is different? (Though your own thread with more info would be needed to determine that)
