Issue with "Build and Pack" feature

Hello, dear forum users!

As you can see from the title, I have a problem with the "Build and Pack" function, and further, 
I will try to explain the essence in detail. I apologize in advance for my knowledge of English, 
but I am not an English-speaking person.
When I save the game through the "Build without Packing" function, the dialogue (VN scripts) correctly 
displays the images of the characters and actually has a conversation between them. 
All images are correctly displayed on the screen and there are no problems. 
But when I save the game through the "Build and Pack" function, the VN mode works correctly, 
but for some reason the images during the dialogue are missing. 
Does anyone know why this is happening?
P.S. Again, I repeat that there are absolutely no problems with the "Build without Packing" function.

last time i used the program i had a problem with build and pack as well, tho not the same one.

in my bug, i was unable to play games with build and pack if the first map had a cutscene script at the start of the map.

i know this doesnt help you at all, so sorry that i have no info to help.

good luck with trying to work around the problem

Thank you very much for the answer, but it's a pity that it didn't help, because I don't use cutscenes before starting maps. I just wondered: is this a bug of the engine itself or what could be the cause? I've been trying to fix this error for several days, but it doesn't work.

Try removing leading slashes in image names

Merogorem1 year ago

Oddly enough, it helped! I removed the slash and it really helped!
Before that it was:
image 1 /Forvn/1.png
After that: image 1 Forvn/1.png
Thank you very much, now everything really works correctly!

P.S. At first I removed all slashes, but it didn't help, I got desperate and decided to remove only one slash in front of "Forvn" and it was the right decision!

This might be a problem with how you named your files.

If there are some non-latin letters symbols - this might be the case.

Merogorem1 year ago

The fact of the matter is that the name of all my files, I point to latin letters symbols, because I read above that many had problems with this. From the very beginning I took this fact into account and was attentive to it.

JessicoChanDeveloper1 year ago

I don't know then.

Packing might be problematic at some point, but so far it was working without any troubles.

If you really want to pack your game but it just doesn't work, you can use EnigmaVM to pack your files and then use it with packed EXE.
There should be a manual for that on their site.

Thank you very much for your help! It probably won't help, but I'll try!
