[Solved]AttributeError: 'ADVCharacter' object has no attribute 'viewport_height'

[Nazon]

I decided to try a new 6.99.14.3 version and upgraded from 6.99.12
After that I changed my project name(config.window_title , config.name and directory name) .
When I tried to run the project, I've got this error:

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

After initialization, but before game start.

I've done:
1) Deleting persistent data(using option in the launcher and manually)
2) Force rebuld
3) Manually deletion of rpyc files from the project and force rebuild.

But the error is still the same.
I can't reproduce this issue with the other projects, but also I can't find the error in my code.

Try

Code: Select all

define director.viewport_height = 280
# or
init python in director:
    viewport_height = 280

No clue as to why it works in other projects and not in one... Are you loading an old save or similar?

Thank you!
I tried, but this code doesn't help. The error still persists.
No, I am not loading an old save, just running the project.

I presume you do not have any variable called director in your game?

Oh, it seems I do...
I have "define director ..." in the script.
Now I see why it ruins all project...
And as there was no Interactive Director function in old Renpy versions, it was ok before, but not now.

I fixed this "define" name and the error disappears.
Thank you very much!

'director' has been added in the section quite near the end.
