Can't Save // Attribute Error: 'NoneType object has no attribute 'encode'

[decocloud]

Hey there I am completely beyond stumped with this traceback error I'm getting every time I try to save my game.

Code: Select all

While running game code:
  File "renpy/common/00gamemenu.rpy", line 174, in script
    $ ui.interact()
  File "renpy/common/00gamemenu.rpy", line 174, in <module>
    $ ui.interact()
  File "renpy/common/00action_file.rpy", line 414, in __call__
    renpy.save(fn, extra_info=save_name)
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'encode'

I recently made tons of stylistic changes all over the game and have no idea what's causing it and windows is telling me I don't have an app installed to be able to open up any of the common/ rpy scripts to try and decipher this (even though I've been using VScode for everything else). Any idea where this might be coming from?

The full traceback report (some personal data scrubbed from file locations):

What is the value of save_name variable, did you change it?

[decocloud]

So seaching all my rpy scripts, save_name only comes up once on the screens script as part of the save/load screen as

Code: Select all

$ store.save_name = persistent.name

I edited stuff around this to make alpha masks + custom buttons but I don't think I edited it directly. Here's the full chunk:

Code: Select all

screen file_slots(title):

    default page_name_value = FilePageNameInputValue(pattern=_("PAGE {}"), auto=_("AUTO"), quick=_("QUICK"))

    use game_menu(title):

ACTUALLY i just realized this was changed, I got rid of the whole vbox containing

Code: Select all

$ store.save_name = persistent.name

and reverted to default, saves seem to be working again. Now to figure out how to reapply styling without stupidly breaking a core function.
