I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

After loading the script.

IndexError: tuple index out of range

Windows-XP-5.1.2600-SP3
Ren'Py 6.13.8.1675

I'm not sure what this means. I tried launching the project a few months ago and it worked well but then I decided to put all my effort into my main project and didn't edit it for months and when I tried again yesterday this still popped up so I tried updating Ren'Py but that didn't work either. What does the error message mean?

I have no idea. Can you send me a copy of the project, so I can debug this with the latest Ren'Py. (It looks like there's an underlying bug, and the error handling is failing to work as well.)

Sorry, found the issue! It was a missing quotation mark near the bottom of the script. Whoops. Thank you for your time!
