    "After all, 80% of the Reato tourist industry is made up of Americans. Think of how much that would hurt their economy."

Just curious, is editing like this 90% trying to find silly little errors that have made your program unhappy...? I mean, I just spent half an hour replacing quotation marks I just copied from word that it hated... which it was fine with on another script I made...

The percent sign is what's throwing it off. Since RenPy uses them as 'indicators' to insert variables into the text (i.e. %(variable_name)s ), it's expecting something in that format.

To display a percent sign normally, you'll need to double it up:

Code: Select all

"After all, 80%% of the Reato tourist industry is made up of Americans. Think of how much that would hurt their economy."

To answer your other question:

Just curious, is editing like this 90% trying to find silly little errors that have made your program unhappy...?

That's generally a large part of what programming is.

Thanks so much! ^-^;; I'll have to try to get used to it then.
