Local labels broke on build.

[Dsiak]

I had an unexpected problem during the build where the local labels broke and the code was changed. This person describes the problem better than I can.

And it gives this error for each line calling a local label:

Code: Select all

File "game/cards.rpy", line 434: expected 'label_name_declare' not found.
    call.read from _call_am_card_16.read_1

where am_card_16 is a global label with a local .read inside, like this for example:

Code: Select all

label am_card_2: #1
    ...
    menu:
        "1...":
            jump .right
        "2...":
            pass
        "3...":
            pass
        "4...":
            pass
    ...
    jump.wrong

    label .read:
        ...
        return
    label .right:
        call .read from _call_am_card_2.read
        ...
        call am_card_3 from _call_am_card_3
        jump .end
    label .wrong:
        call.read from _call_am_card_2.read_1
        ...
        if strike == 3:
            jump am_strike
        else:
            call am_strike from _call_am_strike
    label .end:
        call am_clear from _call_am_clear
        ...
        jump am_card_4

Does this means Ren'py current version can't handle local variables? And is there a way to restore the .rpy file to the state it was before trying to compile? Everything is backed up in a .bak file, just paste it / name it back to .rpy.

What version are you on? This should have been fixed recently.

Hi Sr.Pytom, thanks for answering

I'm on version 7.0.0.196, clicking on update tells me it's up to date. I verified the "download latest" on the webpage and the download is also a .196 version.

Could it be the fact that you’re missing a space between “call” and “.read”?

[Dsiak]

I didn't noticed the lack of space between the call and the dot, thanks for pointing it out. Some calls were lacking spaces while others were not, but both worked in the preview and both calls got the same error messages.

Just to be sure I corrected all of the lacking spaces and tried to compile again, had the same behavior: all the (local) calls broke and the script had the "from _call_am_card_[number]" in front of every (local) call. Error log on this pastebin.

Also in case somepone else is in a similar situation, the original script is saved at the same directory as the .rpy and is named [scriptname].rpy.bak. You can just copy the contents of the .bak into the .rpy and it is back to the way it was before trying to compile.

Next question - have you tried “outdenting” the local labels (and their statements) so they’re at the same level as the global label? That’s the structure I use, and they work fine.

[Dsiak]

I experimented compiling with the labels on the back row, they behave the same. Also both indentations work on the preview.

While doing that I realized there is a option called "Add from clauses to calls". I unchecked it and it compiled, I tested the game and the local calls seems to be working. Is there a risk when playing the game like this? It still is very weird.
