{image=...} text tag crashes Ren'Py

[000]

Right in the demo... err, tutorial. In Fonts and Text Tags section, Ren'Py crashes whenever it reaches the
' e "They let you include images inside text{image=exclamation.png} Neat{image=exclamation.png}"'
line...

Traceback:"
I'm sorry, but an exception occured while executing your Ren'Py
script.

IOError: Couldn't find file 'exclamation.png'.

I don't know what's wrong with this, since it's working for me. I'll note that your directory structure seems to include weird Kanji, so something could be up with that.

...Thats no kanji. It is perfectly normal cyrillic letter. At least it is in reality.
It seems Ren'Py still hates russian letters in the path, as when I removed that letter, image tag started to work just good.

While this "bug" is solved, it indicates greater hole in Ren'Py's handling of non-ASCII sympols you might want to look into.

Added: If you are interested, path what made bug appear was: "D:\RenPy ц\renpy-6.10.0\" and so on.

This should be fixed in lp:renpy revision 849. The important change was the one made to renpy/loader.py.

Basically, what was happening was we were combining a unicode filename with a non-unicode path. The latter was being promoted to unicode incorrectly, and then the file wouldn't load. Python 3 will make this easier, but for now we're stuck with a clusterfsck of unicode and non-unicode strings.

I've moved my development tree to a directory that contains non-ascii characters in it, so hopefully we won't see this sort of problem again.
