Help! Backgrounds/Scenes not showing up?

[taupah]

Hi all, I've recently gotten back into the world of Ren'Py and am quite dusty. I'm having issues in places I've never had any trouble in though, primarily in getting any kind of scene to appear! I've tried changing the image name, the file name, and the file/image I'm using altogether, and I'm still having a problem.

This is how I've defined it:
image bg class1 = "classroom_morning.jpg"

This is how I put it in the code:
scene bg class1
with dissolve1

And, although I've checked for errors multiple times (including being sure I typed the correct file name) I get this:

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While loading <'Image' 'classroom_morning.jpg'>:
File "game/script.rpy", line 32, in script
with dissolve1
IOError: Couldn't find file 'classroom_morning.jpg'.

And now it's saying that it can't find any of my other images either. No idea why. They're in the images folder in this game's directory.

If the files are in the images folder, then they need to be defined like so:
image bg class1 = "images/classroom_morning.jpg"

image bg class1 = "images/classroom_morning.jpg"

Whoa, really? Did that change? I haven't done this in a few years and I genuinely have no memory of that!

Please notice that if you have the latest Ren'Py and you are putting your image files inside the default 'images' folder, you don't need to declare them anymore. See the documentation here: http://www.renpy.org/doc/html/displayin ... -directory

I thought I was using the latest Ren'Py, I only downloaded it a few hours ago... however, as suggested above, I had to declare it for it to work. Weird, huh?

[Donmai]

Not so weird if you follow the documentation. You should only have to rename 'classroom_morning.jpg' to 'classroom morning.jpg' and then

Code: Select all

scene classroom morning
