IOError: Couldn't find image. [URGENT HELP]

[toki]

I ran into this error when coding my game (it's for class), and please be patient with me, I am a noob, and I read through all the other posts about this error, but nothing helped...

So basically, this is the traceback data.

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
File "game/script.rpy", line 31, in script
p "Welcome to London! I understand that you're vacationing for one day here?"
IOError: Couldn't find file 'game/images/kit_normal.png'.

I tried everything, from using a different picture and renaming the files, and even tracing the files all the way back to the folder that renpy was in. I'm positive that it's in the right folder, and that the file name isn't misspelled.

Please help me, this project is due in three days...

Could you paste the code from lines 1 to 31? Include them in [**code] tags, please, and close them with [**/code] tags. (remove the **)

Which code? The one from my game or...?

[toki]

I inferred what you meant and pasted it.

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

No, they meant lines 1-31 of your script.rpy.

[toki]

Oh, ok.

All the other images are still undefined as this is a work in progress v.v

Code: Select all

#characters
image kit = "game/images/kit_normal.png"
image peter = "insert img name"
image clerk = "insert img name"
image baker = "insert img name"

#backgrounds
image village = "insert pic name here"
image sq = "insert pic name here"
image ss = "ipnh"
image ap = "djka"
image festival = "hjkl"

# Declare characters used by this game.
define k = Character('Kit', color="#A994FF")

define p = Character('Peter', color="#67E676")

define c = Character('Clerk', color="#FFFFFF")

define b = Character('Baker', color="#FFFFFF")

define s = Character('Seamstress', color="#FFFFFF")

define d = Character('Apothecary', color="#FFFFFF")

# The game starts here.
label start:

 scene pic name
 show kit at left

You don't need the game/ prefix. Use:

Code: Select all

image kit = "images/kit_normal.png"

Thank you! That fixed it right away ^0^
