problem with the "show" keyword

#1 Post by shahab96 »

Its been a long time since i used renpy and i've run into a problem now with the show keyword.

Code: Select all

show Neo
Is causing the game to crash, i have no idea why. Here's the traceback.

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
  File "game/Chapter_1.rpy", line 15, in script
  File "game/screens.rpy", line 26, in python
IndexError: string index out of range

image Neo normal = "/Images/Characters/Neo.png"

And call it with

show Neo normal

If it helps, the image itself is declared in script.rpy while the show keyword to show it is used in a different .rpy file within the same folder and project.

Then nothing is wrong with the image. Try this
http://lemmasoft.renai.us/forums/viewto ... =8&t=18562
The first reply owo I guess it might be the same problem.

Or what are the first 15 lines in Chapter_1.rpy and 26 lines in screens.rpy?
