Hi,
I am completely new to renpy.
I changed the Picture of the main menu of my game, then i started the game.
Everything was fine, i could Play it.
Then I closed renpy.
I tryed to open it, then i got this message:

[mikolajspy]

It says right at the beginning

Code: Select all

Couldn't find file 'gui/window_icon.png'.

Did you accidentally deleted it?

[scribbloid]

I reinstalled renpy multiple times.
It seems everytime I Change the Background of the game and main menu, renpy gets damaged and I have to reinstall it if i want to have Access to the Launch.

thank you for your answer

Why ist that changing the Background destroyed the program?
What can I do to avoid this in the future?

It wasn't destroyed. Likely, you just misnamed the file.

Some more things you can try:

In Windows, go to Control Panels/Folder Options/
Click on the "View" tab and uncheck the "Hide extensions for known file types" option.
Back to your game folders, check that you don't have a file named, say, "window_icon.png.png".

Open your game using the Ren'Py Launcher. Press shift+d and click on the "Filename List" option. Ren'Py will generate a list of all the files that are "visible" to your project. Check that you are typing the correct name for your file.
