Side Image deletes background

[ChibbiNation]

Hi everyone:
I'm a total noob on Ren'py, so I'm totally stuck in one issue. I get a background image to show with no problems, but as soon as I define a character to use a side image, the background disappears completely, and I only get the character image with a transparent background.

This is what I have so far:

Code: Select all

# Declare images used by this game.
image bg lecturehall = "lecturehall.jpg"


# The game starts here.
label start:
    $ bl_game = False
    
    scene bg lecturehall
    with fade

    
    define e = Character("Eileen", image="eileen")

    image eileen happy = "eileen_happy.png"
    image eileen concerned = "eileen_concerned.png"

    image side eileen happy = "side_eileen_happy.png"
    image side eileen = "side_eileen.png"

    label start:

        show eileen happy

        e "hey"

        e concerned "again, hey"
        
    return

I would seriously appreciate any guidance on this. I did a bunch of searches for this problem and I couldn't find anything that could help me out. Thanks in advance!

You have two label starts, and your indentation is incorrect. Also, you have to define images before the game starts.

Code: Select all

# Declare images used by this game.
define e = Character("Eileen", image="eileen")

image eileen happy = "eileen_happy.png"
image eileen concerned = "eileen_concerned.png"

image side eileen happy = "side_eileen_happy.png"
image side eileen = "side_eileen.png"
image bg lecturehall = "lecturehall.jpg"


# The game starts here.
label start:
    $ bl_game = False
   
    scene bg lecturehall with fade
    show eileen happy

     e "hey"

     e concerned "again, hey"
       
    return

That solved it! I got an indentation error on Line 19 of your corrected code, but I deleted a character on that line and line 20, and now it works like a charm! Thanks so much again!
