Pythonw.exe Has Stopped Working

[Googaboga]

Hello! I'm trying to add DLC to the Steam release of one of my projects and attempted using a type of code mentioned at the bottom of this thread:
viewtopic.php?f=8&t=35886

The exact code I used is this-

Code: Select all

init -5 python:
    import _renpysteam
    _renpysteam.init()
    persistent.outfit_select_unlocked = _renpysteam.dlc_installed(12345)

With that in the script above the 'game start' label, the project either won't start at all (I click launch and nothing ever happens, if I remove the code it starts as it should) or I get a 'pythonw.exe has stopped working' crash.

I'm not sure if something's wrong with the code, my computer, my instillation of renpy or what. If anyone knows what kind of issue can cause a crash like that, I'd really appreciate the info.

Alternatively, if anyone has an idea for a different way to DLC, I'd be happy to try it out.

Thank you!

You should be checking to see if _renpysteam.init() returns True before doing any other steam calls.

Thank you for the answer! This is probably a silly question, but how do I format that? Like-

Code: Select all

if _renpysteam.init():
    #stuff

Or something else?

That's the right way to do it.

Thank you. I've added that to the code and unfortunately the issue with the game not launching is still there. When I make a mistake and there's an error in how the code is written the game does launch and point that out, so that's not the problem.

I'll see if I can try things out on someone else's computer. Maybe it's just a problem with how things are on on my end.

Sure. You should also check the Steam API documentation to make sure you're calling the function the right way.
