I cant open the game after i put in the mod.
I already used a fresh downloaded game.

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
Exception: Could not load from archive gui.rpyc.

That's weird. I tried on 2 different laptops and I have no issues at all... I don't really know what causes this bug but after some research I found out that it could be rpa archive related.

So, I uploaded a new version in OP. Try it and tell me if it works for you.

 

[AnotherVNPlayer]

Do you have any log file in your game folder (errors.txt or traceback.txt) that could help?

Try this file (paste it in your game folder) and tell me if it works or not.

 

[Kuran S]

The game closing as soon as I rename the MC.

Thanks for your feedback. I forgot to remove the "text.rpyc" file. It shouldn't be here as it is completely unnecessary for the mod to work.

I updated links in OP. I hope it will fix your issue.

----

For the others, thank you all for your help. I made some modifications to the "Name MC" part. I hope it will work for you, now.

Fingers crossed...

Don't forget to delete all rpyc files in game folder, if you downloaded the previous version of the mod.

 

[Kuran S]

I still can't get past the part where you name the MC. It always crashes there and shows the error I sent in the traceback.txt above. Not sure if I messed something up, haha.

Back to my first error

at least you can start the game ^^ i never saw the Game Menu once

 

[Nick198]

I can't open the game with your mod.

 

[MacedonianThem]

Yeah something this mod does is messing with the renpy folder, which is strange since it doesn't directly modify that, which leads an error with renpy/common/000window.rpy due to a missing float. It seems to just be a single line of code causing the crash.

 

[AnotherVNPlayer]

OK guys, I cleaned up the code, removed lot of unnecessary lines and changed some values. I also built rpa archives with Ren'Py Launcher instead of RPA Explorer.

I updated the link in OP. I hope it will work for you or at least a little better. If not, I will continue to investigate deeper tomorrow.

Like always, install the mod on a clean game or remove ALL files and folders from previous versions to avoid any conflict.

Thanks for your help and your patience.

Before loading the script.
ValueError: unsupported pickle protocol: 5

Yeah, the update made it worse. Before, it would crash at the beginning, when you had to name the MC (or when trying to play any of the scenes from the gallery). Now, the game won't even launch.

 

[AnotherVNPlayer]

Oh. That's probably because I built the archives with a recent version of Ren'Py Launcher (8.3.4), which also includes a more recent version of Python.

So I rebuilt archives with Ren'Py 7.3.5, the same version as the original game. This should fix this error.

I did a clean install of the game with the latest fix, but unfortunately, I still get the error when naming the MC. The game always crashes at that point and gives the error 'TypeError: a float is required'.

 

[roXshoX]

Well at least its starting now but now i get the same error when trying to namechange.

 

[AnotherVNPlayer]

OK, I think I found my mistake and why the game crashes just after naming MC... Now, the mod should work as intended.

The mistake:

    #[just after naming your MC...]
    
    menu:
    
        centered "Do you want to name\nyour character [mcName]?"

        "Yes":
            jump v1_a
        "No":
            jump namemc

The fix:

    #[just after naming your MC...]

    centered "Do you want to name\nyour character [mcName]?"
    
    menu:

        "Yes":
            jump v1_a
        "No":
            jump namemc

Unfortunately I'm still getting the error message:

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
File "renpy/common/000window.rpy", line 98, in _window_auto_callback
_window_show()
File "renpy/common/000window.rpy", line 60, in _window_show
renpy.with_statement(trans)
TypeError: a float is required

On the bright side, at least this is great experience bughunting in your code lol, it'll be very useful for modding work you'll do in the future
