Hello! I'm new to Ren.Py, and I've been looking all over for some answers to these errors. I don't exactly understand what's messing up the code? If someone could explain it, I'd be delighted. It's probably some newbie thing that you guys hear all the time, but I honestly can't find any answers for it.

Code: Select all

Perhaps you'd be kind enough to post some of the code too...

jacobjumper · #3 Post by **jacobjumper** » Thu Dec 14, 2017 5:16 am

Did you copy and paste this somewhere else, with the quotes? Sometimes the editor considers those quotes "invalid", causing this issue.

The quotes are the problem: “ is not "
When using Word/Writer or other programs, the simple quotes " ' are changed to pretty ones (typographical ones): «» “” ‘’
But python/Ren'Py needs the simple ones: ", '
Change them (you can do it quickly with "find&replace all") and probably it'll be fine.

Alright, we've got less errors now that I fixed up the quotations issue.

Code: Select all

It seems to have an issue with the pictures.. at least there isn't as much of an error code this time around. I think the periods may be causing an issue somehow?

Ocelot · #7 Post by **Ocelot** » Fri Dec 15, 2017 12:09 pm

Image path needs to be in quotes: show "busstop.png"

xavimat · #8 Post by **xavimat** » Fri Dec 15, 2017 7:05 pm

If you put the images inside the "images" folder, Ren'Py will find them only with the name. Quotes and extensions (.png, .jpg) not needed.

Code: Select all

show busstop
show sleepinend
