Annoying script error

[Reficul Hopes]

Hello there. I am working on a Ace Attorney-like game. I needed something similar to court records from that game, somewhat inventory. I have found VN which represents just that - inventory that looks just like the one from AA and works the same way. But the creator added one feature I don't need. So basically there are three buttons at the right top corner: "Profiles", "Evidences" and "Assistant". I don't need the first and the third ones. But most of all - the third. So I found it in the code, deleted the line and... script error ! And not just that. I am not even sure that this error somehow connected to what I've done. Then I found out that the same error occurs no matter what you edit in the script. So... Help, please ?.. I am leaving here a link to that visual novel so you can look through scripts yourself and see how it works even. And also a screenshot of the script error. The error first occured when I deleted one of the last three lines in court_records.rpy

The reason it does work when not changing anything is, that it uses the precompiled .rpyc files when executing. As soon as you edit anything, it will try to recompiling the game and result in the error. The error is due to the code not being proper anymore, since it is 6 years old.

But I found the issue:

Change the following code inside <court_record.rpy> on line 118:

Code: Select all

    frame:
        $ pages = records.getPage()
        xsize 1280
        ysize 720
        background Frame("evidence_window.png") 

# change to this

    frame:
        xsize 1280
        ysize 720
        background Frame("evidence_window.png") 
        $ pages = records.getPage()

Code: Select all

    frame:
        $ pages = records.getPage()
        xsize 1280
        ysize 720
        background Frame("evidence_window.png") 

# change to this

    frame:
        xsize 1280
        ysize 720
        background Frame("evidence_window.png") 
        $ pages = records.getPage()

Why is the order relevant here? I don't get it.

Read the error message in the original screenshot. Apparently Ren'Py can't always translate its instructions after pieces of arbitrary Python code.

It is working for me also.
