[solved] game won't launch

#1 Post by muttsbathandbeyond »

Hi, I'm Very, very new to using renpy and I made the really dumb mistake of accidentally clicking something on the error page without looking, and now every time I click launch project it just opens traceback.txt. I've fixed all of the errors it said to fix but it still won't launch my game, it doesn't even open the window. Sorry if this is a dumb question but I don't really know how these things work, any response is appreciated. Thank you!

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:

(OP NOTE: like I've said I fixed the problems with the true/false statements but other then that I don't know what any of this means unfortunately)

From the launcher select your game and press the force recompile button, see if that helps.

Do other projects launch?
Worst case scenario, make a new project and copy your script and screens etc over

deleted all the text it said was wrong and rewrote it exactly, the game screen opens now at least and is just showing the regular error screen. Renpy playing a prank on me, cool.

This might be my opinion but did you set the false to "False" as in capital letter F?
