Unren breaking variables

[finndem]

This is an issue I've come across a few times, and I've never found a solution that wasn't "nuke the game and install clean". Occasionally, after using unren, I start getting errors like the below:

I'm sorry, but errors were detected in your script. Please correct the

Ren'Py Version: Ren'Py 8.1.3.23091805
Mon Jun  2 14:22:20 2025

This came from using it on the completed version of Sugar and Spice, and the game was working fine until I tried using unren to enable the developer console, and then this became an unavoidable launch error. I checked after deleting and reinstalling all of the script files, and all of these "defined twice" issues are still true, but the game now launches fine. So, what gives?

Edit: I'm using unren 1.0.11d, which is the most recent version, as far as I can tell.

I checked after deleting and reinstalling all of the script files, and all of these "defined twice" issues are still true, but the game now launches fine.

The error happen only when "compiling" the source files (rpy), what happen because the said rpyc files have now a date older than the rpy files. And the error is only shown if the developer mode (not the console) is enabled.
Once the files are all compiled, the error isn't triggered anymore, despite the label being actually defined twice. This do not actually break the game, Ren'Py will automatically use the last defined label. It just show that the dev do not cared this much about his game.

I did try deleting the .rpyc files before nuking the entire thing. It didn't change anything.
