Image Error in Ren'Py?

[404ShinigamiNotFound]

So, ive just started ren'py and i made a quick test game to get the hang of it, and i followed the tutorial and added the images+music in my game folder, and declared them in my game, yet my error message says it cant find the image+music. Am i doing something wrong?

Code: Select all

To help you, we need to see your code. Show us the part of your code where you declared your images and the part where you are showing them.

Ah, sorry about that. Im an idiot.
And, i have no idea how to add images to this (Again, im an idiot), so can you help me with that too? Thanks~

You don't have to provide us with the images, just the code you're using to define and access them.

im using (for image "tree"):
image tree = "Trees.jpeg"
Some of my images are jpeg, and some are png, and neither are working (along with mp3)
and to access them:
scene tree
or, if its a character
show rin at right (i declared these images in the same way)
I put the images in the game folder for this game, (as the tutorial and many YouTube tutorials said), but i think the problem is where i put the files. Im not sure though...

ok, when you put code in on these forums, start that block of text with [ code ] and then end it with [/ code ] only without the spaces inside. That way it keeps the margins set right.

hmm. Try just declaring the image straight out first.

Code: Select all

image tree = "Trees.jpeg"

scene tree

see if that works, then if it does you can do the fancy bit. If it still doesn't work, are you sure that you got all the capitalization and stuff just right? It should find them if they're in the right directory.

Thanks
It still doesnt work. The error message says:
"While loading <'image' 'City.jpeg'>:
IOError: Couldn't find file 'City.jpeg'.

Is your file actually named "City.jpeg" or is it named "City.jpg"?

[404ShinigamiNotFound]

Yep, its named 'City.jpeg'

Maybe the jpeg is the problem?

1. Try renaming to jpg.

2. Try: http://renpy.org/doc/html/displaying_im ... ing-images
If you change the extension to ".jpg" (instead of .jpeg), and your images are in the "images" directory you don't need to declare them with the line:

Code: Select all

image trees = "images/Trees.jpg"

They will show just fine with show and scene.

3. How are you using the mp3 files? Please show your code.

Thank you for your help i got the images working, and i also played around with the music code and got it working too.
Thanks again~
