A bug within renpy

[firecat]

with a bit of effort

(and cause you star catgirl in your game )

1) Create a new project in .11 and pick the New GUI design of your choice.
2) Delete script.rpy, script.rpyc, options.rpy, options.rpyc, screens.rpy and screens.rpyc assuming they exist in this new project you've created.
3) Delete options.rpy, options.rpyc, screens.rpy and screens.rpyc assuming they exist in your original project.
4) Delete cache and saves folders in your original project.
5) Copy everything that remains from your original project into the new project.
6) Add the two files attached to this post to the new project.

===========================>>>
Your saga and battle minigame should now work with the New GUI design, at least they do for me.

You forgot that two_window existed before the GUI bug, meaning my game cant run without two_window. ignoring the bug just leads to the same error. this just proves how much GUI bugged everything.

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
  File "game/script.rpy", line 1420, in script
    "Chapter 3.0: Water vs Rock"
Exception: Unknown keyword arguments: side_image, two_window

I couldn't find either one in the script file you gave me or the one in your game. It works on my end with those two files: https://youtu.be/NZoX4LvUWSI

I don't know how else to help you :(

I know what happen, you changed the code to match the new GUI not stick to the old code from the script.

volume3 code from screens.rpy:
https://codeshare.io/21yqB2

new gui project, unchanged:
https://codeshare.io/aV4v62

as you can see the codes are not the same, which is why there is so much fighting within the engine code. Gui is the main problem with many of the cookbook and this is why i keep saying the gui is the problem. there is so much changed that once i had removed gui it become normal but with a few errors.

Yeah, that was the idea. In the same way you can rewrite ui code to screen language, I've rewritten old styled gui code to new gui style, the files I attached to the post contain the changes made. After I've created a new shiny project in .12 (same as .11 for the purpose), I did exactly what I described in the instructions (using original resources from the game and the original script file but with edited screen and options files + new gui stuff).

It worked out really well and the game is working just fine.

it only works for you because its what many developers called it "developer working computer", basically any project you make works for you because of a special rule or program but not for everyone who do not have the same code or program. you said it was made in .12 well what you didnt know is that each version of renpy is closely connected to each other. so this means somewhere in version .12 the answer to fixing everything must be there.
