Background Is Text, Not An Image

[TheChatotMaestro]

Code: Select all

scene bg placeholderroom

The file's name is bg_placeholderroom

But when I run the game, there's no error, it just shows up as...

It needs to be "bg placeholderroom.jpg" (or .png, no quotes). Or you could "show bg_placeholderroom", but that's not recommended for a bunch of reasons.

I tried that, but then it says this?

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but errors were detected in your script. Please correct the
errors listed below, and try again.


File "game/script.rpy", line 36: end of line expected.

                            ^

Ren'Py Version: Ren'Py 6.99.12.4.2187

Tried with and without a :, same error both times

PyTom means rename the image with a space
image called "bg placeholderroom.jpg"

no .jpg in the display code
scene bg placeholderroom

[TheChatotMaestro]

Ah. Well, trying that made the screen just go from the black background I had before to... still a black background.

[Remix]

So, what is your image called and what code are you trying?

[TheChatotMaestro]

The image is now called "bg placeholderroom" and it's a jpeg
I'm still doing "scene bg placeholderroom.jpg"

[Remix]

Code: Select all

label start:
    scene bg placeholderroom

no quotes, no .jpg, just that

It worked! Thank you so much.
