OverflowError: value too large to convert to short

[Destiny-Smasher]

Well, the above approach worked.
I eventually found the primary issue, whatever it was, and then it went back to displaying the normal code errors. It took a good while but I managed to iron them out and got the program to boot without crashing! Finally! Now...to go through this 400,000 words of prose and add in branching dialogue options and all of THAT jazz. xD

Thanks for the help, folks.

I found out the the "OverflowError" might be because too many lines. I can try to split the script up in 2 files to see if it run then. -Some people write on other themes it does not matter to have split up script files, others write it shoud be better split up. I removed some empty space yesterday, but need to try out on the new machine, on win7 still the "Out of memory" thing. Another thing can be that some measurments are written out of possible borders, like the size of a image position. And then Renpy do not understand (ha, ha, I break renpy!). The script has 7790 lines for now. Too big? It run before on the win7, before all the error messages on the win7. But slower/laggy when starting in the last days then. Then I continued with coding story and the "Out of Memory" stuff started. Just added some more story text. Who can give me a hint where to check, depending on the "Overflow" message content?

[M-77]

Hello, with help from a co-developer, the error was found. It seems to be a " ' " character inside a text line (means player: p "Bla bla' s. And talking." ), so the text/talking was not closed from there, line 2779 and two more, all was load up into RAM until it -Overflow- or -Out of memory-. This character must be pasted in from the simple Notepad editor or the Openoffice I use for the story spelling and (the " ' "when in text) seems not be compatible with Renpy. Breaking the line. Need to try it out now myself.

Hi,

I have the same problem after a very high auto translate.

My translate file has 80 000 lines.

And a balise " is not correctly close. So Renpy believe it's a big variable of text.

I fix all " in translate variable and it's ok. It's the solution.

Before :

# game/script.rpy:82452
translate french ChristineLeavesEnding_78277d18:

# "You think, 'Ah, what the hell.'"
"Vous vous dites : "Ah, et puis zut !"

After


# game/script.rpy:82452
translate french ChristineLeavesEnding_78277d18:

# "You think, 'Ah, what the hell.'"
"Vous vous dites : \"Ah, et puis zut !\""

please create you own post don't use someone else post it would be best to create you own post so you can get a better response and post a full error report you are only showing only parts of it
