Godot Project breaks after exporting

DR_olo

So after i got 3.5 to work i went ahead and made my basic game structure but when I went to send it to my friend so he can see the progress well it didn't work quite right... The game is comprised of many rooms with one or two enemies, when you beat them you can touch the door and the old room is removed via queue_free() and the next random room is instanced. This worked perfectly while in the editor. However after exporting something breaks the code and the new room is never instanced so you basically touch the door and then the room you were in is removed but the next one doesn't spawn. I am on arch, and from what i've seen this might have something to do with how godot maybe handles filenames after exporting but i have no clue what to do.

Your best bet for file naming is to use snake case for files and directories. That should work on anything.

What OS were you exporting to?

I exported to linux and windows

Also in regards to the first part of your answer I'm not sure if that's applicable to me?

I thought that was what you meant here:

If you're using snake case, there shouldn't be any issues with names after export. If you've used mixed case or spaces, you might or might not be alright.

What i meant when i said that was that i looked into my issue and some people back in godot 3.2 where speculating that it had something to do with exported filenames however in their case the game didn't even start while mine does and just isn't loading the scenes that it should.

I think this whole snake case thing isn't really applicable to me because i looked at the docs since you linked them, and well i don't really think this is related is all. Still i am pretty inexperienced so i might be talking out of my butt.

OK so i figured out what it was that was causing my problem... REMINDER TO SELF READ THE YELLOW DEBUG WARNINGS For any poor soul who though of using the same method for instancing random scenes from a specific group of similarly named ones be careful because instancing in the editor IS NOT case sensitive but instancing after exporting IS

@duane thanks for all the suggestions man really appreciate it
