Publishing game

#1 Post by Flashlight » Tue Feb 09, 2016 8:16 am

So I have successfully published a game before but now I have a problem!
I'm still quite new so I may have missed something. I have provided pictures below to help aid you in helping me. XD
Here's what I've done so far:

Are you shipping the correct files?
Are you sure you deleted game/saves?

However being the idiot I am I forgot to run lint till the very end when I have already extracted everything.
(Actually I ran lint just before writing this.)
I think this may most likely be the problem.
The SAO UTIL's plugin is a User Interface for my computer and lint is saying that replacing some names.
If this does turn out to be the problem do close the User Interface or do I have to delete all it's files?

Anyways the exception dialog box popped and I don't understand it at all haha.
Please help.

Offhand, these look like problems caused by placing a copy of Ren'Py inside a Ren'Py game.

Hmmm not sure I understand how to fix that.
I've downloaded and tested other games and the same thing pops up... :C

It's possible that it's launching Ren'Py in a way that is completely wrong. I'd consider disabling it to see if that fixes the problem.
