Distribution Error

#1 Post by animagic4u » Wed Mar 18, 2009 3:40 pm

This traceback appears shortly after the start of distribution:
I'm sorry, but an exception occured while executing your Ren'Py
script.

ValueError:

While running game code:
- script at line 136 of renpy-6.9.0/launcher/distribute.rpy
- python at line 335 of renpy-6.9.0/launcher/distribute.rpy.
How do I fix this? :( Thank you!

Hm... That error can only occur if one of the files on your system has an illegal time.

Like for example you created a file on an old machine with a broken clock, then copied it over to your current folder.

Alright. Well I've been using the same computer for the length of the project...and I haven't changed any of the settings.

I tried re-creating the project, and still no change. :(

Problem fixed!~
If anyone ends up with this problem,
check the times on the files used in the game.

Mine's said "created" today but "modified" in the past...
quick fix. ;D
