Character dissappeared?

So... basically I've managed to make my character not appear. As in the image is there, he's coded in correctly as far as I can tell, and he even used to be there. But I was messing with some stuff in the GUI and, somehow I managed to make this character just stop appearing.
Let me screen shot everything:
So right now this is what it looks like. There should be one more character on the left.

A picture to show you that clearly the image has been defined, and that the image exists.

And a picture to show you that the character should be shown.

And this is a previous load where the code was working and the character appeared :

I'm imagining that I'm missing something.
(OTN, I know the image says shrink. Don't mind that, I just named it shrink because I cut the size down in half so that it appears in normal size, since I drew the images really big.)

Could it be that Darius is shown outside the frame? If you give him a position inside the frame does he show up then? i.e. xalign 0 yalign 1.0

Unfortunately that's not it either. I tried giving him those exact coordinates and he still won't appear x.x

Could Darius' alpha have been set to 0 somewhere earlier in the code? That is, could Darius be there, but fully transparent?
If you set alpha to 1.0 does that do anything?

Nope that didn't work either x.x I've also tried to make the character appear first in case it's like hiding behind the other characters...
(I doubt it but is it possible that a character appears behind a background?)

It should be possible to put the character behind the background, I believe, using 'behind' or zorder. It seems very unlikely, but you could test for that by commenting out the background, I suppose.
An other thing you could test, is to make a new image 'Darius2' using the same image file. Then try to show Darius2.
If that works then you would have something in the code outside this scene that is interfering with 'Darius' and you should search for all instances of 'Darius' in all your code to see if you can find out what it is.
If 'Darius2' does not work, it would seem that there is something wrong with the Darius image file.

the image that is shown first will be covered by the images that show later, in case of:
Code: Select all
show background
show character1
show character2
character appear on top of background.
when you change the order:
Code: Select all
show character1
show background
show character2
the background will cover the character1, renpy doesn't recognize if an image is background or character, therefore, it shows them on top of each other

Alright I got it to work! Thank you! (I ended up doing what Per K Gog did and somehow now its working? I must've misspelled something or something. Weird.) Thanks again!
