Ren'Py 6.15 Pre-Releases

[Jake]

I'm also getting a crash bug when I reload for some reason.

The exception being...?

I get crash bugs upon reload all the time, when I write classes that don't pickle!

[nyaatrap]

I just uploaded Ren'Py 6.15.0.274 to the prerelease channel.

This fixes nyaatrap's problem, and I think I might have also fixed Sundownkid's in the process... I don't yet quite understand what was wrong, but I think both bugs might be related to the same timing problem. It's worth trying out.

It also fixes a problem where rolling back in nvl mode when a non-default language was active would cause a line of dialogue to be repeated, and a compatibility problem with older games.

Thanks it's perfect. I've noticed this bug a long time ago, but I didn't know how to explain details (like as SundownKid troubled to explain) so I putted off reporting.

This is minor, but if you update to 6.15.0.274 and hit update, it will ask if you want to update (More like downgrade) to 6.141.366

[PyTom]

That should be fixed now.

[ScottySeng]

@ PyTom

It's working fine now. Thanks

[PyTom]

For the record, 6.15 has been released.

Just wanted to make sure that isn't some weird behavior of my version: when building for all targets, the lib subdirectory is 52mb !? is that right?

Also, just tried building BH2 for Mac, game started on windowed and then pressed F key to switch to fullscreen and game crashed with:

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
  File "renpy/common/00start.rpy", line 122, in script call
  File "game/script.rpy", line 229, in script
Exception: Could not set video mode.

The weird thing is that tried again changing it from option screens, and this time worked. Then, all other attempt both with option and pressing F worked fine. It was only that time that crashed!

[jack_norton]

Another weird behavior, on Windows this time:
1) I start the game windowed and press F, doesn't crash, but when I press again F the window is BIGGER than the original one. For example was 1280x720, and when got back wasn't that original size
2) going in options screen and toggling windowed/fullscreen twice instead returned the right windowed size

so maybe the F key has some problems (see previous Mac bug)? not a big deal but thought to let you know!

[nyaatrap]

This may not a bug anymore but I think I should mention this for someone who got the same issue to me. Config.image_cache now works in ren'py scripts in 6.15, but not in python scripts. When I executed many renpy.show in a python block, there's possibility to reach at the memory crash.

Yes.

The difference is that some of the mac files that used to be inside the renpy.app package have moved into the lib directory, so one has shrunk and the other has grown.

If you can put together a demo of this, I can look into it.

[nyaatrap]

It's a wild guess while debugging my game since there are still many bugs in my game. It's hard to extract the core issue in this stage, but I'll investigate it along with debugging.
For your information, the memory crash occurred while executing this code:

Code: Select all

init python:
    def load(list):
        for i in list:
            renpy.show(i, layer="load")
            renpy.pause(0.000001, hard=True)
            renpy.hide(i, layer="load")

[nyaatrap]

hmmm. I think a memory leaking problem maybe came from Intel Core Processor chipset. Somewhat it tries to consume any available RAM - even it' over 2GB.
The weird thing is, I never met this problem on other applications. Only Ren'py has this leaking problem.

[nyaatrap]

I think I found a problem of the out of memory error.
It's skip. While skipping, or loading images pretty fast, bail out couldn't occur.
