Maximum length of string ?

#1 Post by korova »

I've just bumped on a strange error in Ren'py.

I have a screen to display credits in my game.

Basically, I have one screen and pass different strings to the screen to display them.

Everything always worked fine, but here is the message error I got tonight :

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
  File "game/clairobscur.rpy", line 981, in script call
    call credits_scrolling
  File "game/clairobscur.rpy", line 995, in script call
    call credits_generaux
  File "game/credits.rpy", line 16, in script
    pause
  File "renpy/common/000statements.rpy", line 363, in execute_pause
    renpy.pause()
Exception: Open text tag at end of string u"{b}Logiciels utilis\xe9s{/b}\n\nMoteur graphique : {a=http://www.renpy.org}Ren'py{/a}\n\nCr\xe9ation et retouche d'image : {a=http://www.gimp.org/}GIMP{/a} et filtres {a=http://gmic.eu/}G'Mic{/a".
So it seems that my string lacks a "}" at the end.

But look at my code !

Code: Select all

# Credits logiciels
    $ illu = "credits logiciels"
    $ details = _("{b}Logiciels utilisés{/b}\n\nMoteur graphique : {a=http://www.renpy.org}Ren'py{/a}\n\nCréation et retouche d'image : {a=http://www.gimp.org/}GIMP{/a} et filtres {a=http://gmic.eu/}G'Mic{/a}")
    show screen credit(type,illu, details)
    pause
the "}" is really there !

If I remove one character from the string, the error disappears.

So here is my question : is there a maximum length for a string ? (Is this normal ? Is this a bug ?)

There is no urge here, I can cut my string, but I am puzzled...

Thanks for your advice.

There shouldn't be a limit. What does the screen code look like?

Here is the relevant screen code

Code: Select all

screen credit(type,illu,details):
# type = l'écran est différent pour une image ou un fichier audio
# Illu = image qui sera affichée comme illustration (la photo, la couv de l'album, la représentation du bruitage)
# details = éléments pour la description (sous forme de tableau): auteur, nom de l'asset, licence, ...
    
            
    # À gauche : on a soit une simple image, soit image + boutons si c'est du son, donc un screen spécial (audio_illu)
    if type == "audio":
        use audio_illu(illu)
    else:
        add illu anchor (0.5,0.5) ypos 300 xpos 300
        
    # les items sont différents si on décrit une image ou du son (chacun a son propre screen)
    # on garde une solution par défaut où on reproduit simplement la chaine de caractère passée en argument
    if type == "audio":
        use audio_description(details)
    elif type == "image":
        use image_description(details)
    else:
        vbox:
            xpos 635
            ypos 100
            xsize 330
            text details style "st_credit"

style st_credit:
    color "#ccc"
There are "sub" screens, but not used there.

I think I need the entire game. Could you send it to me, modified so that when I start the game it goes straight to the credits?

You can download my project here :
https://bitbucket.org/Korova08/clairobs ... 123bbc.zip
you have a button on the main menu to access directly to the credits.

You will see scrolling credits (that works OK), you have to click on the button "Crédits détaillés" on the upper right corner.
Fist screen works OK, you click and the next screen is wherre the error arrives.

Thank you for your help.
