I'm trying to use the tilde n character with bad results. The game will run fine, but Ren'Py can't compile it. It's spitting this back at me:

Code:
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xf1 in position 2: ordinal not in range(128)

While running game code:
 - script at line 28 of renpy-6.11.0/launcher/distribute.rpy
 - python at line 168 of renpy-6.11.0/launcher/distribute.rpy.

Ren'Py Version: Ren'Py 6.11.0l


So after searching the forum, I went back in and made sure my script.rpy and options.rpy files were encoded in UTF-8, and put "u" in front of all the strings containing the tilde n. Then I tried to launch the game. The game couldn't even launch and complained about the strings preceded by the u... OTL

Code:
On line 312 of C:\Documents and Settings\Sapphicatific\My Documents\1 NTFS\LostFiles1\Owner\Desktop\Senor Volky McLupinstein and the League of Extraordinary Dentists/game/script.rpy: expected statement.
v u"Holy CATS!  Whatchu cryin' for, Señorita?!"
  ^

On line 545 of C:\Documents and Settings\Sapphicatific\My Documents\1 NTFS\LostFiles1\Owner\Desktop\Senor Volky McLupinstein and the League of Extraordinary Dentists/game/script.rpy: expected statement.
n u"Not so fast, Señor Volky McLupinstein."
  ^

On line 871 of C:\Documents and Settings\Sapphicatific\My Documents\1 NTFS\LostFiles1\Owner\Desktop\Senor Volky McLupinstein and the League of Extraordinary Dentists/game/script.rpy: expected statement.
u"When the smoke cleared... all that was left was a blown-out dentist's office, a little talking balloon, and Señor Volky McLupinstein."
                                                                                                                                        ^


It was apparently fine with this one:
Code:
    $ v = Character(u'Señor Volky McLupinstein', color="#30C121")


So, what am I missing here?

Have you tried making your files UTF-8, but *not* preceding your script strings with u? That's what I've been doing for non-ASCII characters in the script.

I just tried that with no success. I still get the same error when trying to build the distribution. :(

Do you have "ñ" in a filename? That's not supported in the zip file format.

Nope, nowhere... (I actually tried to do that before, but it caused an error, so I had to change it.)

Try a non-ancient Ren'Py, then. There have been a lot of improvements to how we handle international filenames in the latter part of 6.13.

It's tough to support a version of Ren'Py that's 2 years old.

The bug isn't in the game proper. It's in the name of a file or directory on disk. That's what distribute.rpy deals with - it doesn't look at the game proper.

:oops: I forgot about this... I had previously downloaded a newer version but I think I mistook the graphical problems I was experiencing in the newer version as proof that my computer wasn't good enough to run it, so I went back and dug up 6.11. After I found out all I needed to do was the SHIFT+open and change settings method, I guess I forgot to go back and get the new one again... how embarrassing, lol.

Hmm.. I tried your suggestion with high hopes, but it still spit the same error back at me. Which makes me pretty nervous, because I'm starting to wonder if it isn't something else. But I'm going to try downloading the latest version and see where it goes from there.

As a question, is there an ñ anywhere in the path?

For example, could Ren'Py be in C:\Users\Your ñame\renpy-6.11.1\... ?

Update time...
Well, Nyaatrap's method worked, but I wasn't sure how to implement the font colors for the Characters speaking so I went back to trying just the u prefix on the say strings. Had to take them off again because RenPy 6.13 still doesn't like them. It doesn't crash upon launch this time, but it complains as soon as I get to the offending line. Since the problem at hand seems to be greater than this, though, I just tried to compile the game again to see what the result would be.

The result:
Code:
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
  File "launcher/distribute.rpy", line 28, in script
  File "launcher/distribute.rpy", line 66, in python

So today, seeing as how this seemed to be an unsolvable mystery, I decided to just create a new project and copy my old script file and assets into it. Ren'Py compiled it without a problem.

Given that I did not have any files or folders with weird characters in them, the only thing I can think of that must have been causing my problem is that my prior attempt at giving the game folder a filename containing "ñ" (and then reverting back) must have somehow set the Ren'Py world askew. I didn't do it in the correct fashion (changing it at just-before-build stage) but did it by changing the name of the original game folder and then re-directing where the script.rpy and options.rpy were saved. Since that is apparently unsupported, Ren'Py would not compile it, so I went back and changed the name of the folder again. However, I kept getting the same error. I did not know for sure if the error was from this tampering, though, because I had not tried to compile with the original "ñ"-less name until after I already tried it with the "ñ". Could it have been remembering the "ñ"? It's a mystery...

Anyway, in the future I will try my best to play by the rules and not cause the next Compiling Apocalypse, lol!

Thanks for troubleshooting with me and I hope this helps someone in the future :)

Huh, so one of those things. I've had that happen before with other kinds of problems, where compiling anew just fixed the problem - though instead of copying my scripts and assets over to a new folder, I just deleted all the .rpyc's and bytecode.rpyb from the /game folder, and then ran the game again (so those files all got the chance to re-generate).

Anyway, glad to hear the problem's solved.
