Found a bug

So, when SHAME appeared for the first time, the game crashed with an error and I can't start it anymore. The error says the following:
"No file 'assets/therestwas.mp3' found in working directory 'C:\WINDOWS\system32'.

Then it the small boss inside the tab, it says this:

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "!REPRIEVE.py", line 11, in <module>

pygame.error: [error said at the start of this post]

Please fix this quickly, as I can't even start the game without this error.

Its likely due to one of the assets being missing. I'd recommend reinstalling. Please get back to me if the issue occurs again and I will look into it further, thanks!

Ok, so it might be due to the bosses, the game functioned fine until what I presume, the boss cards appear. The errors this time, yes multiple, are the following.


Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "!REPRIEVE.py", line 6546, in <module>

  File "pygame\sprite.py", line 556, in update

  File "!REPRIEVE.py", line 2162, in update

  File "!REPRIEVE.py", line 2091, in trigger

  File "!REPRIEVE.py", line 5608, in addEnemyCards

UnboundLocalError: cannot access local variable 'bossCards' where it is not associated with a value

Ok so, the bug of the boss cards is fixed. But now I have a question...is craven supposed to be ON THE SCREEN or outside? Because i got beamed by craven when I went to do TRAGEDY. Also, another error appeared when I tried to restart the game:


Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "!REPRIEVE.py", line 11, in <module>

pygame.error: No file 'assets/therestwas.mp3' found in working directory 'C:\WINDOWS\system32'.

Basically the one that this post came from

Hey again. To answer your questions:
Craven in this is world based (NOT meant to stay on your screen). He tends to obliterate me too when he gets enraged. Keep him calmed, but if he does snap, I'd recommend getting him on screen so you're ready to parry him.

That error:

  File "!REPRIEVE.py", line 11, in <module>

pygame.error: No file 'assets/therestwas.mp3' found in working directory 'C:\WINDOWS\system32'.

I believe happens when starting the program goes wrong as I have encountered it myself a few times, but unfortunately I don't think its a 'bug' I can fix. Likely reopening the game should work, might take a few tries. If anyone does know a fix to pygame crashing due to image fetching failing on startup feel free to reply to this. Hope you've been enjoying the game elsewise! (: 

Ok so, I kinda found why that one bug happens, I just need to start the program where all the assets are in, and not from the Windows Search.

But I kinda have a problem related to KooKoo, although I could just have a huge skill issue.

So, when the timer display and hits the number it is in, I parry and the game counts that as a parry, however I still died by KooKoo. Is there a specific timing that I need to parry it?

Fixed that now in latest devlog, redownload
