Hi everyone!
I'm having a little issue with the side images in my game.. I have actually made a game last time so I just copied the format (which previously worked fine) but for some reason, the side images never actually display in the game itself. It's a little frustrating. Below are some code related to side images.
I checked over and over to see if I missed anything out but I don't think I did? But as soon as I boot up the game the images never appear... It didn't even cite an error, it just ran as per normal but the images did not appear at all. Please help me identify the problem Thank you all so much in advance!

..and the list goes on for every single line containing a side image...
I hope this helps.
Thanks!
have you defined a "ZY n" image somewhere in your script (with a "image ZY n = "path_to_your_image.png" statement), or do you have a "ZY n.jpg" or "ZY n.png" in your images directory ?
define z = Character('ZY' , color="#9370db" , image ="ZY")
image side ZY n = "zy1.png"
label start:
with vpunch
z n "redacted."
show phone
with moveintop
z n "redacted"
z n "redacted"
return
Into a blank project and it worked fine. You don't have the images inside a folder or anything in your project?
I saw someone else had a similar problem recently and no-one could figure out what was wrong then too... Are you using the most recent version of Ren'py?
It might be something elsewhere that we aren't seeing, because there is nothing wrong with the code you're using that you've shown us.
Can you make a copy minus all the story etc. of your project and upload it? It might be something super simple that you just aren't seeing because you've looked at it so many times.
Hey, thanks for the reply. Attached is my options and script. I cut out some of the stuff from the back of my script but hopefully it doesn't affect anything. Thank you so much!
