Uncaught exception occurred before game start.

[quinnsea]

I'm trying to test out my code, and I have some placeholder names for assets I don't have saved yet. Could that be causing this error? Otherwise, I don't feel like there's anything wrong with it so far...

Code: Select all

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

The most common cause is duplicate label names or mismatched indentation
Usually it is duplicate labels though - everything, including variables, must be unique and not used more than once unless checking them, jumping to them or changing them

Oh, okay. Yeah, I think that was it. Everything runs pretty smoothly now up until my audio comes up! I'm trying to get it to loop, but I might have the code wrong?

Code: Select all

play music "<loop>music/intromusic.mp3"

"<loop ???>" is for partial loop playback. The default of music channel is already set to loop, so you don't have to add anything extra to loop the music. You can add "loop" or "noloop" in as optional. You can get more info from Play Statement in documentation.

Code: Select all

## Play music, it will loop by default.
play music "music/intromusic.mp3"

## Does the same thing as above.
play music "music/intromusic.mp3" loop

## Play music without loop.
play music "music/intromusic.mp3" noloop
