Any news on "old" games that were/are being worked on?

#1 Post by kara24601 » Tue Jul 17, 2007 3:54 am

Because I don't like "bumping" old threads that have one of my posts as the last post, I thought it would be a better idea to start a completely new thread.
As for my own works , I still have them around , I just have neglected working on them.
I downloaded the latest version of Ren'py and will be replacing the main Ren'py stuff with the new version and check on my works again soon.
I feel bad about having not visited in so long and not dropping by much.

For example , haven't seen any new posts in this thread :

I hope Omi and others still check on the forums sometimes.
How's your progress going?

"Missing Tickets" is stalled at 99% because of one bug which hasn't been fixed. I don't want to mess with it anymore, I just want it finished and done so I can forget it. >: (
It didn't turn out like I wanted and I ended up rushing through it to finish it. >: (

"Severed Garden" is at 5% or so, I switch off between that and "HARTBREAKER" (also around 5%) when I get tired of one.

My first two games took about 4 months each to finish (not working nonstop) but I am going to take my time and do a GOOD JOB on these next 2.

What's the bug, and is it my fault?

Yeah, we should get Missing Tickets out... um, give the script to PyTom or other bug-basher around here?

For some reason I think my reply to this particular thread got deleted....yesterday I posted the problem files and stuff. But if you go to "the missing tickets" thread you can find the game file and list of the problems.

send an AIM to samuraiskoolgirl for questions....

Can you do me a favor and find me all of the appropriate stuff? I'm stuck on this tiny little laptop screen, and it makes it annoying to look around trying to figure out what the right version of the software.

Thanks.

I tried the game, but don't see the problem. Can someone please give me:

1) A description of what the problem is.
2) Where I can get a copy of the game with the problem.
3) What I need to do to reproduce the problem.

I can't really solve a problem until I can see what's wrong.

There are two problems, both of them are in Midnight's extra story, which has to be unlocked by choosing "You get distracted pretty easily" when talking to Midnight in Augustus's part of the story.
Starting Midnight's extra story works fine, but once you try to use the day planner feature, this error comes up:

Code: Select all

SyntaxError: invalid syntax (line 1)

While executing game script on line 254 of /Applications/renpy-5.6.7/The_Missing_Tickets/game/event_dispatcher.rpy.
While executing python code on line 261 of /Applications/renpy-5.6.7/The_Missing_Tickets/game/event_dispatcher.rpy.
While executing python code on line 53 of /Applications/renpy-5.6.7/The_Missing_Tickets/game/event_dispatcher.rpy.
While executing python code on line 92 of /Applications/renpy-5.6.7/The_Missing_Tickets/game/event_dispatcher.rpy.
So I looked at "line 1" of the event dispatcher and this is all it says:

Code: Select all

init -100:
The second problem also occurs with the day planner. There are supposed to be three "stats," but only two of them show up in the day planner menu (see attached image, there should be a 3rd stat for alertness under the other 2):

I'm going to post the raw files (not the final game), zipped.
This should make it easier to fix what's wrong.

Can you pm me with a walkthrough that gets me to the broken part?

Okay, figured out what the two problems were.

The first was that in options.rpy, you had:

Code: Select all

        style.dp_window.ypos = 120
(I think... I changed it, and am too lazy to go back and figure out the old value.)

This is too small, and means that the top of the dp_window will overlap the stats window. Raise the number, the stats window moves down, and you're all set.

The second problem is that the syntax for event expressions is wrong. You had a bunch of comparisons of the form:

'happy = 0'

In python, = is the assignment operatiorn, and == is comparison. If you change these over to ==, the game runs without errors. (Although I didn't test i thoroughly.)
