Confusion/ Need help with Side Images

I read as many tutorials and scouted out for other threads regarding this topic, but I seemed to have trouble getting it to work.
Initially, the picture assigned never appeared at all, nor did it give any sort of error. I tried all sorts of hide and show stuff, and I still don't know much about ren'py.
Code: Select all
image side Ruben = ("ruben_neutral.png")
define Ruben = Character('Ruben',
window_left_padding=160,
show_side_image=Image("ruben_neutral.png", xalign=0.0, yalign=1.0))
for whatever reason, it doesn't show up at all. And I'm just confused about how to go to fix it. Also, I don't want to make any sort of default side image because the perspective changes and different characters will have their own respective side image.
Thanks in advance for any help!!

None of my characters appear, and the backgrounds assigned don't show up even though I re-size it to the correct dimensions. Why won't the images show?

Did you check that the files are correct? You may have a different file format. Like maybe the png file is actually a jpeg or a bip? If not, is it in the correct folder? You might have misplaced it in something like "images/character.png"?

I've been using that in addition to another FAQ I found on the Ren'py site and it just doesn't seem to work. Not that it gives me an error, just nothing different happens for whatever reason. And I have checked the file names, they're all the same extension and consistent spelling.

Maybe the path¿? Maybe you put your images inside a folder.

Well, if you could show the part of your code for character declaration and part of label where your characters are speak... Also, what do you mean "just nothing different happens" - do you see any image or not?

I don't know if this helps, but I was having trouble with side images not showing until I added the image parameter(?) to the character declaration. So the code would look like this in the script file:
Code: Select all
image side ruben = "ruben_neutral.png"
define ruben = Character('Ruben', window_left_padding=160, image="ruben")
