Options fault...

[JamesH]

Code: Select all

On line 82 of C:\......\..........\............\renpy-6.12.0\Friends or More/game/options.rpy: invalid syntax
        gm_root = "#FCFCD7",
               ^

What does this mean?

[James]

I'm not the best person to explain this but I'll give it a shot.

"gm_root" - A displayable (such as an Image or Solid) that will be used as the background for the game menu.

"#FCFCD7" - code for yellowish color hex (choice of color you picked)

Basically it's telling you there's a problem with the background picture of menu screen. Probably with the way it's coded.



I made a card_clock.png picture for my menu background so mine is.

gm_root = "card_clock.png",

i still get the fault

thanks for the advice though

So is the picture you want to display on background...

1. In game folder
2. Picture file is called "Friends or More Logo - Copy" word by word in png picture format?

Both requirements need to be met before it'll work if you coded it that way

I don't see a problem with that line, could you find that line in your options.rpy and paste the lines of code around it as well? I'm talking more than the ##Comments, I need to see mm_root and the ending parenthesis.

1. Yes
2. Yes

The error says "invalid syntax", so I doubt it is a problem of not finding the image file. A syntax error can mean a lot of different things. It might be caused by a missing comma, an extra comma, a missing/extra parenthesis, a missing quote mark, a missing colon, incorrect indentation, and so on.

As Aleema said, you should show us multiple lines of code around the error line. Syntax errors are often not obvious unless you look at multiple lines of code. In particular, a syntax error often points at the line *after* the line where you actually made the mistake.

## The background of the game menu. This can be a color
## beginning with '#', or an image filename. The latter
## should take up the full height and width of the screen.
gm_root = "Friends or More Logo - Copy.png",

## If this is True, the in-game window is rounded. If False,
## the in-game window is square.
rounded_window = False,

does that help?

[Aleema]

Nope, post your options.rpy or at least the entire opening section. PM if you don't want to share it publicly.
