hello, i've been testing your tool and it's working well!

the only issue i've found so far is that i installed the extension for vscode and for some reason it's not connecting with my renpy project, so i can't open the editor :( i'm not sure what i did wrong, since the extension was simple to install and i just moved the inspect file into my game folder.

Sorry I missed this post. Let's see...

Is the inspector working in renpy itself? Did you get all working properly except the connection to the editor?

What OS are you using?

yes! yes! 

I use windows!

I'll try to find a way to resurrect my windows to check this.

Please make sure there's no firewall or something else blocking local network within your PC.

okay!

I did some checking and trying to reproduce. I found a possible reason.

Did you open your editor at the "game" directory or did you open the editor at the project directory (the directory which contains the game directory)?

the game directory! (it's where the guiinspect files are)

Developer

OK. That's the problem. I should have accounted for that.

As a workaround, until I add that capability to the extension, open the editor in the project directory instead.

I'll fix that when I can.

okay! thank you
