Honestly, this is my first time trying to port a game with animation so I am all over the place and don't exactly know what to do.
Anyone can help me?
Thank you.

You did more than porting (from what to what ?) the game, you also changed its code. This turned the "anim" variable as savable, while it can't be saved.

You did more than porting (from what to what ?) the game, you also changed its code. This turned the "anim" variable as savable, while it can't be saved.

But I didn't change anything aside from deleting the default mobile setting in screen and gui.rpy
Oh by the way I did some testing with new game files that haven't been messed around with.
When played without the rpa file being extracted work perfectly but the moment the RPA file was extracted, the error happen.

Tried some more testing and turns out these were the cause of the error

I don't know why they caused it though, but its fixed when I removed them all.
