"Launching the Project Failed" Error When Building

#1 Post by jacobjumper »

I attempted to build a distribution and was met with the error

Code: Select all

Launching the project failed.
Please ensure that your project launches normally before running this command.
I launched my project and it runs fine, all the way through. I tried to force recompile and was met with the same error. I tried updating and that didn't help, and I tried uninstalling/reinstalling Ren'Py to no effect.

Thoughts?

Is there a traceback.txt produced?

I sometimes get this (when trying to clear persistent as well) when a python variable is incorrect.

Check your script for any irregularities and make sure your python is correctly written.

Oh, I didn't notice but there was.

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
  File "game/script.rpy", line 14, in script call
    "I haven’t been sleeping well lately."
  File "renpy/common/00console.rpy", line 693, in script call
    python in _console:
ScriptError: could not find label 'a1s5mci'.

-- Full Traceback ------------------------------------------------------------

Full traceback:
  File "game/script.rpy", line 14, in script call
    "I haven’t been sleeping well lately."
  File "renpy/common/00console.rpy", line 693, in script call
    python in _console:
  File "<string>", line 1, in script
  File "C:\Users\Jacob\Desktop\renpy-6.99.12.4-sdk\renpy\ast.py", line 1527, in execute
    rv = renpy.game.script.lookup(target)
  File "C:\Users\Jacob\Desktop\renpy-6.99.12.4-sdk\renpy\script.py", line 858, in lookup
    raise ScriptError("could not find label '%s'." % str(original))
ScriptError: could not find label 'a1s5mci'.

Windows-8-6.2.9200
Ren'Py 6.99.12.4.2187
Familiarity 0.3.5
However, the label 'a1s5mci' is never called or referenced. The label 'a1s5mc1' exists, I checked to make sure all that was correct.

Can you delete that file, along with errors.txt, and try again? Probably, one of those two will come into existence.

I deleted 00console.rpy and errors.txt. No dice. No traceback is created either.

Addon: I'm able to build a distro so long as I don't force a recompile while doing it.
