6 years ago Okay, I've figured this out. Theres actually two issues here.
The first issue is the crash. This occurs because updates.topics originally was defined as a dict, but I had changed that to None as a memory optimization. In import_ddlc, updateTopicIDs was being called before updates.topics would be init, so instead of returning old_persistent (as updates.topics was an empty dict), it was trying to perform dict operations on a Nonetype.
Which leads to the 2nd issue. Turns out, those calls to updateTopicIDs could be pointless in some cases because updates.topics only was initialized in a version number change.
I've added a fix that moves updates.topics init into a label, and adds appropriate calls to this label before updateTopicIDs is called in import_ddlc.

For some reason, switching over to the mod template broke the persistent updating and save loading from version 0.4.0 got busted. Please uncomment this line in splash.rpy:
`
call import_ddlc_persistent
`
And try to fix things with changes to import_ddlc, updates, and updates_topics. No changes to splash.rpy should be necessary.
By keeping this isolated, we open up the possibility of adding an import function in the settings menu that just calls this.
