weird error[solved]

[Scribbles]

I have no idea what this means or how to fix it?? I haven't changed any core renpy files/scripts o.o

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

After initialization, but before game start.
  File "renpy/common/00voice.rpy", line 360, in voice_interact
    if _menu:
NameError: global name '_menu' is not defined

what on earth has happened and how do I fix it?

here is the full traceback if that helps:

It's likely caused by having duplicate label name.

[Scribbles]

found some, removed them, still get the error *sigh* going to rewrite the skeleton of my code and start from there and see what it happening

[Bryy]

I'm dealing with this right now, too.

I love how it's not like it can't just tell you where it is, and with others, it totally does.

[Saltome]

Well I have no clue, but if you attach the script I'm willing to try and look around.

Came across this thread when encountering the same problem. In my case it was because compiling caused the "from" statements to be added to calls, and when I cut and pasted a small chunk of code that included calls, I ended up with duplicate from statements.

Hey all, just wanted to say that in my case, this was caused by making a copy of script.rpy right before I made some sweeping find / replace changes. Somehow having both a script.rpy and a script - copy.rpy in the game directory caused this crash (even though I certainly never intended to call script - copy.rpy).

This makes sense. Because renpy loads all script files in the game folder, including copies.

Are you sure you caught all the duplicates? The traceback points to:

Code: Select all

    File "C:\Users\Jaime\Downloads\renpy-6.99.11-sdk\renpy\script.py", line 890, in report_duplicate_labels
    if renpy.parser.report_parse_errors():

If you find that duplicate, and it throws the error, that line should change to show the new duplicate label (I'm thinking once it hits the first duplicate, it cascades and throws an error instead of looking for all of them). In any case, posting the current traceback is a start.

This is an old error, I remember this nightmare LOL

it was a mixture of what everyone was saying, but since then I've had the whole code rewritten and a new framework put in by someone who knew what they were doing > < lol

I...oh. I didn't even see the date. Haven't been here for quite a while.

Regardless, sorry for the thread necromancy.
