Renpy 6.6.2 issue

[xoanan]

Hi All

I am having a few issues with Renpy; let me give you some specs

I am running Renpy on Xubunut 8.10 on a Dell L1000R

For some reason, the Launcher has no SCiT editor(or any editor at all). I can work around that by going into my files and using nano.

If I create one character in init and a few lines in the start, the program runs fine.
When I create 2 characters, the program won't even launch.

Any thoughts?

Any thoughts?

When you've added your second character and the game doesn't start, does it leave a file called 'traceback.txt' in the Ren'Py directory? If it does, can we see it? Regardless of that, could we see the code you've written to cause this problem?

Normally, the traceback would be loaded automatically in the editor if you launch it from the launcher and it breaks, but if the editor isn't working that's probably why you're not seeing anything.

(Also, for future reference, this topic should really have been in the "Ren'Py" sub-forum.)

Oops! Sorry!

At any rate, here's the traceback

Here's the script

Code: Select all

xoanan@ubuntu:~/Test/game$ cat script.rpy
# You can place the script of your game in this file.

init:
    # Declare images below this line, using the image statement.
    # eg. image eileen happy = "eileen_happy.png"

    # Declare characters used by this game.
    $ bob = Character('bob', color="#c8ffc8")
    $ David = Character('David' color="#c8ffc8")


# The game starts here.
label start:

    bob "Hi David."

    David "Hi Bob."

    bob "Say, who is that man coming towards us now?"

    David "I don't know"

I just cut out David completely and removed everything except the first line and the project launched.

I'm not sure if this is the problem, but if you put a comma in David's character, it might help:

Code: Select all

$ David = Character('David', color="#c8ffc8")
