Can't build distributions (project launches normally)

[sapiboonggames]

Hi guys, I'm back with another question (or trouble, actually).
I've finished up my demo and used the build distributions command.
However, the process fails with the reason that I have to ensure the project runs normally.
The thing is, the project does launch normally. I can play it just fine

I took a look at traceback.txt and here is what it says.

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
  File "game/hardwarestore.rpy", line 993, in script
    $ shelf2bought = False
Exception: Possible infinite loop.

-- Full Traceback ------------------------------------------------------------

Full traceback:
  File "C:\Users\felisia\Desktop\renpy-6.99.12.1-sdk\renpy-6.99.12.1-sdk\renpy\bootstrap.py", line 295, in bootstrap

Exception: Possible infinite loop.

Windows-7-6.1.7601-SP1
Ren'Py 6.99.12.4.2187
seiyuudanshi 0.1

The 993 line is actually just:

Code: Select all

init:
    $ shelf2bought = False

I don't get how it can make an infinite loop

I'm on latest Renpy and I don't know what is causing this.
Any kind of help is really appreciated. Thank you!

I don't know if this will work but there's no need for that to be in an init block. At the top of your script, just make it say (outside of an init):

Code: Select all

define shelf2bought = False

Does that help?

It doesn't seem to help, unfortunately :/
I even tried removing that entire line but I still can't build the distributions.
(Note that the project always runs fine via Renpy launcher, but whenever I tried exporting the game to Win / Mac / Linux, it gives an error and says that the game doesn't launch properly => even though it really is)

This is really such a weird issue

Thanks for the reply, though.

Can you try to set this one:

renpy.not_infinite_loop(delay)
Resets the infinite loop detection timer to delay seconds.

Ren'Py Documentation: renpy.not_infinite_loop

Where should I put that command, if I may ask?
Since the line detected as loop is part of an init (just declaring that initial value of that variable is False)

Try

Code: Select all

$renpy.not_infinite_loop(3)

(3s delay) at the beginning of the script.

I'm not sure if the exception is really triggered by

Code: Select all

$ shelf2bought = False

I had the problem too and it was solved by adding this line.
