"Unable to find label game_menu" ~SOLVED~

[Broyi]

Again here I am!
Well, I was using even more cookbook codes... (this one)

Code: Select all

##############################################################################
# Pause Menu
#
# By Greeny.
#
screen game_menu:
    tag menu
   
    imagemap:
        ground "gui/ground.png"
        idle "gui/ground.png"
        hover "gui/hover.png"

        hotspot (-1,-1,484,600) action Return()
        hotspot (384,8,134,149) action ShowMenu("save")
        hotspot (522,89,176,127) action ShowMenu("load")
        hotspot (289,244,144,198) action ShowMenu("preferences")
        hotspot (127,193,100,148) action Quit()

And Ren'Py exploded~:

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
  File "renpy/common/00gamemenu.rpy", line 166, in script
    jump expression _game_menu_screen
ScriptError: could not find label 'game_menu'.

Windows-8-6.2.9200
Ren'Py 6.99.3.404
Sample Game

And I have this thing defined.

Code: Select all

# The game starts here.
label start:
    $ _game_menu_screen = "game_menu"
    #...

...So, any help please?

For one, even though the cookbook calls to put it in after start, it'll cause less issues with rollback if you put that definition into an init.

For two, I put that exact code into a test program and ran across no errors. I was running 6.99, and not 6.18 however. It also worked just fine with the definition in an init.

Doublecheck that you didn't misspell the game_menu screen, I guess.

But I'm using Ren'Py 6.99.03.404...
Anyway, how weird... I just erased the code, saved the script, opened my game, and put it back in... It seems to work fine now. I'll mark this thread as solved. Thanks for your help... :3

There are several times where you need to completely close out the game and re-open it for some changes to take.

Also I saw the file path for some of the python script and I thought you were running 6.18. Mind blanked out on me I guess.
