Game crashes: doesn't recognize existing image & module obj

[LinWest]

I built my game distribution, and opened it to find it crashes.

IOError: Couldn't find file 'b.png'.
While running game code:
- script call at line 731 of renpy-6.11.0/common/00library.rpy
- script at line 174 of renpy-6.11.0/common/00gltest.rpy
- python at line 174 of renpy-6.11.0/common/00gltest.rpy.
- python at line 140 of renpy-6.11.0/common/00gltest.rpy.

in the game directory it's call
b.png

in the init I defined it
image black = "b.png"

indentation is correct, case is correct, and spelling is correct. I even resaved it as a .png to make sure the filetype was correct. So why does ren'py say it can't find it? Do I need to reset something? It's driving me mad!

EDIT:

Oh awesome! So I resaved "b.png" it to a .gif, changed it in the definitions, and apparently it's OK with that. But now the same things happening with an image I have called "splash.png" and complaining about something new and vague:

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'Screen'

While loading the script.

I have no idea.

Silly questions:
- in what version of Ren'py you made game distribution?
- did you opened several different versions of Ren'py before made it?
Silly advice - reboot and rebuild distribution.

LinWest, can you post the file "traceback.txt" that's created when the error occurs?

Thanks.

Well I searched the module object screen on google and took this guy's advice to rename the final project file http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=2 ... topic=6987, and then restarted my computer. I originally was making the game in Ren'py 10, but then built the game in Renpy 11 since you're supposed to update before releasing, yes?

Here's the full traceback.

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

Ren'Py Version: Ren'Py 6.11.0l

Once again, filenames the same, spelling is correct, case is all the same, and I resaved it as a .png again to make sure.

[LinWest]

I tried renaming the "splash.png" file to "main.png" and resaved the image file as that name. It still can't find it. Tried building in both renpy 10 and renpy 11 and I get the same error.

Can someone please help me?


**EDIT**

Aleema saves the day. I had .png marked down as exclude extensions. Finally I post my game! <3
