Thanks for replying. I looked more closely at what I'd done to try and respond to your suggestions, and found that the file I moved had not merged with the new file. I have merged them and the problem is fixed! Glad you got me to check it again.

After several years I’ve changed the computer I use for playing Ren’Py games. But now, when I go to play any game on my new computer it has none of the game saves that are on my old computer. I read that saves are kept in the “User name”\AppData\Roaming\RenPy file, so I found this file on the old co...

A belated update to this matter. I ended up downloading another editing software package – MS Visual Studio Code. Unlike Atom, it accepts my new work and does not crash the script.rpy file. I can still do my drafts in Word (which are perfectly fine) then drop it into VSC and do the final formatting....

Many thanks for the ideas. Unfortunately it is not a case of the script going bad from the point where the new text starts. The entire script.rpy file is going dead, from line 1. I have used this approach successfully in the past: work in Word, paste into script.rpy, then add all the “ “, indents et...

Hi everyone, I hope you can help me solve a problem with my script.rpy file. I have a project I am working on in Ren’py (version 7.4.11.2266). It has worked fine up until today. But today I hit a problem when I added new material to the script.rpy file. I wrote the new material in MS Word (my normal...

Thanks, I'll have a look at that.

Hi Ren’Py folk, I just made some very minor changes to a Ren’Py game I’m working on. First I copied my game file and renamed it to become the new version. When I open the new version with “Launch Project” from the Ren’Py launcher I can see all my old saves that copied over, plus the new saves that I...

Many thanks for the replies. With my paranoia for software updates, I kept a separate copy (external hard drive) of the old version of Ren’Py “just in case”. I can reload it if I need to. I was using Editra as the text editor, and didn’t realise I had a choice of editors. I find that I cannot update...

Hi Ren’Py folk, I’ve been developing a game, using an older version of Ren’Py (6.99.12.3). It worked perfectly well until recently. Now, when I add new variables, the game refuses to recognise them, even though I am adding them the same way that has worked in the past. I read that updating to the la...

Thanks for replying gas. Unfortunately I have never used quick menu and I don't know where to start. I thought I could copy from a thread like this - https://lemmasoft.renai.us/forums/viewtopic.php?t=40657 but it all looks strange to me and I think I will just get myself into trouble :( I appreciate...

Hi, I want to add a pop up screen to my game to show game statistics. Ideally with a button on the main game screen that, when pressed, opens a screen where I can list the player’s variables and show the current value for each variable. Unfortunately I don’t know what to do! I have looked at a few o...

Thanks for all the good ideas. I reloaded my backup (aren’t they great when you need them!) and then progressively fed in the new lines. That way I found the problem, in some lines I had copied from an earlier part of the game. In the earlier part when I wrote: call mysteryscene the implementation o...

Thanks very much for the suggestions: • I have worked through my text for misplaced indents and label duplications and have not found any yet (although I did find a couple of other errors that I’d previously missed!) • I looked for _menu, but I cannot find it and it is not something I use. • Good id...

Hi people, I have just added content to a game I am working on. The game has behaved well until today when I hit load. Rather than it starting the game, I got the following message: I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred. After initialization, but before game start. File "renpy/common/0...
