Pictures aren't working

[PervertPrince]

I've recently downloaded the Ren'Py programme and am able to do dialogue just fine but when it comes to images nothing happens. Whenever I put an image in the script and try to launch it, it always says Undefined Images. Can anyone help me?

Have you already read this? http://www.renpy.org/wiki/renpy/doc/tut ... Quickstart
Also, you can find useful information in other peoples posts (like http://lemmasoft.renai.us/forums/viewto ... f=8&t=7852)
And a little advice - post a part of your code that doesn't work and error message (if you get some), that will help people to better understand your problem and find the solution.

This is how I have it down as exactly. I honestly have no idea what's wrong. I'll still carry on looking at those links though to see if my answer is there. Thanks for the help.

# You can place the script of your game in this file.

init:
# Declare images below this line, using the image statement.
image bg Forest = 'Forest.jpg'

# Declare characters used by this game.
$ c = Character('Chris', color="#c8ffc8")


# The game starts here.
label start:

scene bg Forest
with fade

c 'Zzzzzzz'

Well, if you properly indent all the stuff... check the real filename on your hard-drive.
When you declare images, filenames should be exactly the same ('Forest.jpg' is not the same as 'forest.JPG' and, of course, not the 'Forest.png')
Next thing,

Code: Select all

image bg Forest = 'Forest.jpg'

searches for file in "*your_project_folder*/game", if you have special folder for images inside that folder, then you should specify the path to the file from "*your_project_folder*/game". For example, if you have "img" folder, then it would be like

Code: Select all

image bg Forest = 'img/Forest.jpg'

P.S. if you want to post some code, there is a button named "Code", just click it, and place your code between

Code: Select all

 and [/code ] tags - it would be easy to read your code.
