Don't understand thes "expected statement" errors

[Jae]

Edit: Okay... so I renamed the .rpy and .rpyc script files and that fixed the problems. I would still very much like to know why this would happen, though.

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but errors were detected in your script. Please correct the
errors listed below, and try again.

This was working just moments ago and suddenly the game is failing to launch and I start getting these errors. I'm certain it's not an indent issue as I've manually typed everything out in Editra. This works just fine in my other script files and not even copying and pasting from the working scripts stop these errors.

If I take out the lines, the game works fine again. But I kinda need to clear the NVL text. Stumped why these lines don't work while they work just fine everywhere else and worked just moments ago.

Are those inside a menu or something? We'd need to see a dozen or so lines on each side of the errors.

[Jae]

No menus are involved. Clean under a label and just basic dialogue text.

I've wondered if it has anything to do with the .rpyc files, but I'll be the first to say I am not well-versed in how those files work. I'm assuming because I've renamed different .rpy files for organization purposes, it somehow screwed things up. When I rename the files back to their original versions, the errors stop.

[PyTom]

No, these parse errors occur before the .rpyc files happen.

Hm... did you put a number or special character in the filenames? That could cause this as well.
