Surface alphas crash

[Fawkes - Feathered Melody]

I have a problem that I think I have been able to consistently trigger.

In the middle of a transition, I right-click or use the escape button to try and bring up the menu.

Code: Select all

label start:

    # The save_name variable sets the name of the save game. Like all
    # variables declared outside of init blocks, this variable is
    # saved and restored with a save file.
    $ save_name = "Chapter 1"

    # Act 1 Start
    *scene black with fade
 
    $renpy.music.play("ch1_1.ogg", fadein=2)
     
    show text "{i}What happens when we all stop dreaming?{/i}" with dissolve
    $ renpy.pause(4.5)

Line 105 is marked with an asterisk. with the scene "black" declared to be a completely black background.

Code: Select all

    image black = Solid((0, 0, 0, 255))

Traceback is as follows:

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an exception occured while executing your Ren'Py
script.

Exception: Surface alphas do not match.

While running game code:

Ren'Py Version: Ren'Py 6.7.0c

Any assistance would be welcome. Thanks in advance!

I think it's complaining because you're fading in from a blank screen. Try

Code: Select all

   scene black with None

and see if it goes away.

This may be unrelated to what is causing your problem... but if you want a black background, why not use: image black = "#000f"?

Thanks. Setting it to None worked perfectly.
