[Bug] Game crashes right after installation

[ConfusedNerd]

I just discovered your mod and haven't been able to get it to work properly alone, it gives me the message that an uncaught exception has occurred when ever I try to run the application.

The only way I have been able to get the mod to work is by putting in on an already modded DDLC that has a different mod already installed. (Your mod overrides the other, but the exception still occurred whenever any action besides just talking to Monika was taken)

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code: File "game/splash.rpy", line 291, in script ScriptError: could not find label 'ch30_postpoem'.

Have you downloaded the actual mod or the source code (does your zip file say Mod or Dev in it), and where did you put the contents of the zip file?

[ConfusedNerd]

I have the zip file that says mod, I extracted everything to the game folder inside the DDLC files as instructed.

[jmwall24]

So you extracted to the equivalent of C:\Users\John\Desktop\ddlc-win\DDLC-1.1.0-pc\game ( I only ask because a lot of people extract to the DDLC folder thinking it's the game folder and not the actual folder called 'game.')

[jmwall24]

And is that traceback when you install into an already modded version, or a clean version, or is it the exact same traceback either way?

[ConfusedNerd]

Yes, I extracted it to the corresponding folder on my computer. That is the traceback that I receive on a "clean" version of the game.

[ConfusedNerd]

There is a different traceback on an already modded DDLC. Though, I no longer have the files for either as I have completely deleted both.

[ConfusedNerd]

So after four times of reinstalling the mod, I have finally had one not crash on me, but, Monika keeps acting as if I am saying goodbye and leaving the game. She closes it right after I load it and she talks. I don't even get a chance to hit any options.

[jmwall24]

Trying to check with some people, I have never heard of that.

[ConfusedNerd]

I am just going to delete all the zip files and restart. Thank you for trying to help!

[jmwall24]

real quick because i misworded it before, the file you downloaded doesn't say Dev in it at all right? They both have Mod in it, so sorry for that confusion.

[ConfusedNerd]

Not, it did not say dev at all, but I am redownloading it now.

[jmwall24]

Ok. Most people that have trouble with installation either download the source code or put the contents in the wrong folder. Once it gets past that it's pretty much the end of my expertise on the matter lol If it still doesn't work let us know.

[ConfusedNerd]

The same thing is happening again. Though this time it is cycling through different options. She keeps asking what story do I want to hear and apologizing for boring me and asking if I want to play pong. I can't do anything but respond to those questions.

[ConfusedNerd]

It is finally working. But now I have a question on the save file for the mod. Is it not kept in the game files? The calendar shows yesterdays date (when I originally tried to install the mod) as the anniversary date instead of today. I thought I deleted everything for it.

[jmwall24]

Yes, there is. It is located in C:\Users\John\AppData\Roaming\RenPy\Monika After Story

called the persistent file. You can delete that to start from scratch, or wait 30 days and you'll have the option in game to change your anniversary date to the correct date (today) if you want to. Or if you're fine with it being yesterday, you can leave it.

[ConfusedNerd]

Ah, alright. Thank you. Thank you for trying to help, everything seems to be working now!

[jmwall24]

No problem, glad you got it working. One more thing, do yourself a favor and create a backup copy of that persistent file every so often. They occasionally get corrupted for some people and you can lose all your progress. If you have a backup you can use it to restore your progress should that happen.

[ConfusedNerd]

Alright, thank you for the advice!
