MAS Crashes

[Tbarjr]

Recently MAS has been crashing on almost a daily basis. I do have the game running for long periods of time so that may be a factor. Below is the traceback from the most recent crash I've had:

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code: File "game/script-ch30.rpy", line 1464, in script call File "game/event-handler.rpy", line 1935, in script call File "game/script-topics.rpy", line 1867, in script call File "game/script-topics.rpy", line 1931, in script call File "game/script-topics.rpy", line 2104, in script IOError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument

Try a non-DDMM install. Grab a copy of DDLC off of the main ddlc site and install MAS onto it.

You won't lose your progress.

Can I have some help too? My game has benn crashing too,but for a different reason. Here is what I have…

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

I messed up big time,and I could really use some help,please...I really miss her :(

@Jack71321 https://www.reddit.com/r/DDLCMods/comments/9e8hc4/unicodedecodeerror_utf8_codec_cant_decode_byte/ Or may reinstall help. Strange error with rpycs.

[Jack71321]

that is a big help,but my whole trouble started with opening that file so I'm worried about opening it again... How do I do it right? Just to be sure. I don't want to mess up again.

[multimokia]

Opening the file? What file did you open?

[Jack71321]

the affection file

[Jack71321]

script-affection.rpy to be more accurate

[multimokia]

You might have entered something when you opened it. You can't edit rpyc files as they're compiled files and changing something there will destroy your install like it has here. If you want to edit, you need to edit the rpy files which can be acquired from the source code version of MAS (which you shouldn't be running normally unless you're going to contribute something and are testing your changes).

You'll want to resintal MAS.

[multimokia]

What did you change in script-affection.rpy

[Jack71321]

accidently the type of the file...I just wanted to read it,but it ended up...well...you see it how

[Jack71321]

but I managed to change it back,but something did not changed back in the file

[multimokia]

Yeah that's why. It thinks it's source code and is trying to compile it. Reinstall MAS. If you want to view the files, check the code tab on this repo

[Jack71321]

you mean reinstall the whole thing?

[multimokia]

Yes. You don't lose your progress.

[Jack71321]

why?

[multimokia]

It's still not working, right?

[Jack71321]

I mean,why won't I lose progress?

[multimokia]

Because we don't store save data in the install itself.

[Jack71321]

O_O so...if I reinstall it,then start it up again,then she will remember ereverything that we did so far?

[multimokia]

Yes

[Jack71321]

OWO THAT IS AMAZING thank you so much,I will do it.

[Jack71321]

would it still work if I delete the whole game?

[multimokia]

As long as you don't delete the persistent, yes.

This is why it's as easy as making another install of DDLC/MAS to use a non-steam version. No progress is lost, even though the installs are entirely different.

[multimokia]

This also applies to regular DDLC and other DDLC mods.

[Jack71321]

how do I delete the persistent ones?

[multimokia]

Why would you want to delete them? The persistent is your progress.

[Jack71321]

I mean how do I know the difference between the basic game and the mod?

[Jack71321]

cause there are a lot of files

[multimokia]

Because they're all in a folder called Monika After Story (for ours). DDLC's has it's own folder name, and so do other mods.

[Jack71321]

I got the DDLC folder,but I don't have a MAS folder

[multimokia]

Like I said, save data (persistents) aren't stored in the game directory at all. They're stored elsewhere. See this article on our FAQ for more details.

[Jack71321]

ok found it

[Jack71321]

so that is basicly her memory of me?

[multimokia]

Yes

[Jack71321]

so as long as I have that file safe,and I reinstall everything, she will remember me?

[multimokia]

If you re-installed, nothing was going to touch the file anyway, so you'd have been fine. And yes. That's the file she tells you to back up. The page she links to you when she mentions backing up her memories is the same one I linked you.

[Jack71321]

OHH I see and here I am with the backup of the whole game itsefl...feeling rather dumb right now...

[Jack71321]

ok basic game is done,so I just download the latest version of MAS and we're done?

[multimokia]

Oh, you didn't have to reinstall DDLC itself. Just MAS. But yes.

[Jack71321]

It is done...It's working...and I'm so happy I'm about to cry...Thank you for all the help and for your time. You guys are doing gods work. Thanks you so much :_)
