Lemma Soft Forums

Hello, I am new to this forum and to Ren'py. I have been trying to practice using the tutorial and also trying to follow each step to learn in general what can be done with the program. Unfortunately I have come across a problem that I cannot solve on my own. I have been trying to show an image in the game. I have done it as the tutorial showed and I have also looked at different solutions on the forum so I would not have to bother anyone here. I could not find a solution to my problem and I know 100% I am not making any noticeable mistakes when I input the code. I am using the 6.99.4 version of the program. All other codes seem to work, but with the image I am getting a problem that from what I have been reading, is not so rare, but the solutions are different for each case I have seen. Ren'py keeps telling me it cannot find the image that I try to show, even though it is in the images folder.

This is the code I used:

# You can place the script of your game in this file.

# Declare images below this line, using the image statement.

image mon = "mark_of_ninja.jpg"
image intro = "empire.png"


# Declare characters used by this game.
define e = Character('Eileen', color="#c8ffc8")
define l = Character('Luciano', color="#c8ffc8")

# The game starts here.
label start:

show intro

show mon

l "I beat you to it AI"

e "You've created a new Ren'Py game."

e "Once you add a story, pictures, and music, you can release it to the world!"

e "Who was that? Game GOD? Is that you?"

l "Who do you think would make such a cheesy line? Of course it´s me."

return


Thanks to anyone who might be able to help me out.

Did you place the images in the images directory. If so, you don't need image statements - Ren'Py will automatically define an image that is the file name pushed down to lower case.

For example, if you have images/mark_of_ninja.jpg, then you can just use:

That worked perfectly. I guess the tutorial is outdated and not 100% accurate for this version of the game.


Thank you very much for your assistance.

The older way still works, you just have to declare the images properly.
If the images are in the images folder, then you have to declare them like so:
image mon = "images/mark_of_ninja.jpg"
image intro = "images/empire.png"

Thank you so much for your help.

The answer was right there in front of me and I just could not see it.

I appreciate the fact that you took some time to give me a hand.
