Okay. Ren'py is my friend and has it's own way of alerting me when someting is wrong-- not launching the game so I can play-test it, which I do quite a bit. (Though it lies and says it is launched when it does this, which last night made me yell at it Rena-style from lack of sleep. ^_^;; ) When this happens, I use Lint to check what's wrong. And usually it's just me forgetting a quote sign or an identation problem.
But now, once I put together my first menu and it won't launch, Lint is making no sense. This is what it tells me:
ParseError: On line 187 of [where it is omitted, it's the directory]: caption menuitem does not expect a block.
"Go and see what's there."
^
Um, does anyone know what the hell this means? Also, is there a list of lint error messages and what they mean so I don't have this translation issue again?
Make sense, Lint! MAKE SENSE!

My current project is "After the Rain"... and it's no where near done. ^^;;

This probably means you left out a colon at the end of a menu choice line. You get this if you write:
instead of
leaving out the colon at the end of the first line.
Sorry, no list of lint messages exists at this time. (That's a parse error, rather than a lint error, anyway.)
Code: Select all
menu:
"Yes"
"Good for you!"
"No":
"Too bad!"
