Archiving in Ren'py 6.14

[Coren]

Firstly, is it possible to archive files in Ren'py 6.14?

Secondly, I keep getting this traceback when I try to build a distribution.

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
  File "game/distribute.rpy", line 828, in script
  File "game/distribute.rpy", line 831, in python
  File "game/distribute.rpy", line 355, in python

Windows-7-6.1.7600
Ren'Py 6.14.1.366
Ren'Py Launcher 6.14.1.366

I checked line 828 of the script, but it's a simple nvl clear.

I'm at a loss here because my noob levels are soaring - help will be very much appreciated. Thanks!

I am assuming you created your project from scratch in 6.14. If you brought your project from a previous version, then 6.14 will ask to include archiving information on your "options.rpy" file.

When you click on "Build distributions" in 6.14, look on the left of the screen for a "Edit options.rpy" button. Click on it and, surprisingly, that file will be opened on your text editor.

Look for the block of code that comes after this commented line: "## To archive files, classify them as 'archive'."
Add there the filetypes you want to be archived.

Mine is configured this way:

Code: Select all

    build.classify('game/**.png', 'archive')
    build.classify('game/**.jpg', 'archive')
    build.classify('game/**.mp3', 'archive')
    build.classify('game/**.ogg', 'archive')
    build.classify('game/**.wav', 'archive')
    build.classify('game/**.rpy', 'archive')
    build.classify('game/**.rpt', 'archive')

Ah, thanks! But I still don't know what to do with the traceback, though...
