I'm having some issues with Joiplay and i don't figure it out what happened.
I never asked for help, I use to keep trying until I solve it. I always enjoyed solving hard and software problems but this time I lost.

My Joiplay was pretty tuned up, working great. Find that Renpy Plugin 8.21 + 8.35 + any 7.xx was covering almost every Renpy and Python Version and have no bugs.
A few days ago i downloaded 2 game, the 1st gave me a weird error.

The error is:

File 'game/00iconbutton.rpy' expected a keyboard argument or child statement.

The 2nd gave me the same error. No chance.
Even a game I was playing before without issues now gave me the same shit.

1. No 00iconbutton.rpy into game folder either subfolders and no .rpa
I knew it was a file from renpy/common, so went there. Compared with same file from others games but no any difference.
Anyway, since some símbolos can get wrong while porting (like _ " or one space) I cut the line and replace it but same error.

Wait.
I copied the file and paste it into game folder and error changed! Gave me another line. I solved it same way.
But now

File "game/00build.rpy", line xx: expected a keyword argument or child statement.

Again same way was solved.
And the game worked

But some of them, in the next run failed again. The last one said 'game/options.rpy'. Now this file was in game folder but it's getting riskier. I can change iconbutton or build even delete some parts without any problem but changing game scripts using a simple txt reader on Android is not very safe and no file to copy the line now..

When the problem started i didn't touch anything in Joiplay neither in Android. I know everybody say the same shit and they did touch a lot, grope it and rape it but believe me I didn't.
I updated joiplay and the Renpy Plugins...
I use Android 12 and the error is linked to Renpy 8.3.7 or Phyton 3.9.
I didn't check it at first, so if more games fails I may confirm.

I appreciate if someone can give me a hint. To solve it but also because Ben so clueless is bugging me.
Thx.

"Almost every", except the versions of Ren'Py superior to 8.3.5, like by example:


And with the 8.4.0 having switched to Python 3.12, it's only the start.
yeah, sorry, i wrongly said 8.3.5 but the plug in was 8.3.7 the version i was using, and only a few hours ago iI find v8.4.1.
I thought 8.3.7 was the last release.
Still it fails with Renpy 8.3.7.
Maybe Renoy new release started to pop up?
But why games installed and ran it suddenly started to fail?

By now with 8.4.1 any game crashed. Often suggested 8.2.3 even Renoy newer versions, but no one crashed but all this keep bugging me ..
I want to understand what happend. Learn the way it's work.
