I don't understand this error

I was writing some dialogue and I wrote the phrase "¡Eso espero! ¡Gracias!" ("I hope so! Thank you!" in Spanish). When I launched the game, this appeared:

File "game/script.rpy", line 33, in script
S "¡Eso espero! ¡Gracias"
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 16: 'gr'


What does it mean? I don't know how to fix it

I believe there is something else in your script creating this error. Could you show me the code before and after that line? Sometimes, the error will show a line of code close to the actual error

Check any hexadecimal strings in your scripts (like color RGB values) for typing errors.
That's usually what the "invalid literal for int() with base 16" error points to.
Usually, you will get an "invalid literal for int() with base 16:'#'" message.
'gr' is a novelty to me.

Before what I wrote, it says:

While processing the color property of anonymous style:

And after what I wrote it shows the full traceback

When asking for the code before and after, it was not meant from the error screen, it was meant from your script. Sometimes the line number reported as causing the error isn’t really the line that caused the error - it could be something just before or after. So, if you can give us a bit more of your script, it might help.

I think I've already told you what's the problem.

Show us the code a bit and the traceback about it, its kinda more confusing to understand the error you've been encountering.

Well, that line is the last line of a choice. I mean, three lines before that I used the "menu" code (for making choices), and it's the first time I use it, so maybe that's part of the problem. And after that, I started another label for the menu.

You need to actually copy and paste your code because we can't see what's going on. If you tell us what you did, that doesn't really help because it could be a syntax error, etc. It'll be something you aren't catching that we can but we can't do anything without seeing the exact code. When asking for help, you'd normally copy and paste your code in a post between the code brackets

Code: Select all

Your code will be displayed like this so we can review how the error occurred.

I think it is related to the color hex error, maybe you tried putting this..

Code: Select all

#FF0
instead of this

Code: Select all

#FF0000
which is likely got this error for somebody.

There's nothing wrong with #FF0 though

It's more likely they typed ## instead of one #

As I said (maybe not very clearly, I admit) before. The error "invalid literal for int() with base 16" in Ren'Py generally points to a color value wrongly typed. Ren'Py recognizes RGB hex values ("#fff" or "#ffffff") or RGBA (A for Alpha or transparency value) hex values ("#ffffff7f").
If you type, say "#fffff" that will give you an "invalid literal for int() with base 16" error message.
