AttributeError: 'unicode' object has no attribute 'ogg'

[ElonMuskIsMyDad]

Hey, everyone,
I've looked everywhere online, but I haven't seen anyone with this specific issue. What's odd is that in the beginning of the game, the music plays just fine, but around line 700, it won't play. The music is copied to the game and audio folder, which had worked for all of the songs. Does the traceback hint at where the problem is? I'm not familiar enough with Ren'Py to know exactly what's going wrong. (Would it help for me to include code? I didn't want to spam with my entire VN, but the problem is so bizarre that I'm not sure what would help.)

Thank you very much!

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:

You forgot to wrap your file name in quotation.

Add " to the start and end of the filename.

Code: Select all

play music "tokyo.ogg"

How embarrassing. Thank you so much! You really helped me out.

Adding on to Imperf3kt's answer:

When a sound file is in the game/audio/ directory, and doesn't contain spaces or other special characters, it winds up getting defined in the audio namespace. The play and queue statements try the audio namespace before the default one. So you can just write:

Code: Select all

play music tokyo

in this case. (But it wouldn't work if the name as "tokyo drift.ogg", because of the space.)

Thank you so much!
