VN Ren'Py Bad Memories [v0.8.5] [recreation]

[Warphorror]

There is no translation unless added by the player, I completely write and release in english
But I know for a fact that it must have something to do with the Character names, I just can't figure out what exactly.

based on https://f95zone.to/threads/renpy-maximum-recursion-depth-exceeded.24096/post-1484980 it could be the fact that there is 2 successives variables

File "game/intro_day1.rpy", line 15, in script
"Voice" "Hello [mrms] [pcsure], this is Maggy Shelter. I'm sorry but I have bad news for you."

to interpret and the operating system has difficulties doing so, constantly interpret one then the other and so on until the system stop. But then it should happen to more people and at other moments too so I can't be certain.

i've played this game so many times i could probably tell you everything said in it so far .... i have not found any errors ... but then again i don't dig into any script files ... would probably screw up the game if i did

 

[hideouz]

Holy sh... that's a wall of errors.
I actually thought I had that sorted out, I can't even reproduce the error, it never happened once to me and I playtest a lot as you might've guessed
Does it always happen? Always at the same spot? What happens if you delete the save and start fresh (you can activate skip unseen in preferences if you want to try).

allready downloaded again and deleted all folders, but still
after that traceback, get the next one and then the next and so on and on^^
also dont know, what caused this

This is just a guess, but it may have something to do with translation files (possibly German), considering this part of the traceback:

File "game/intro_day1.rpy", line 15, in script
"Voice" "Hello [mrms] [pcsure], this is Maggy Shelter. I'm sorry but I have bad news for you."
File "renpy/common/00library.rpy", line 268, in say
who(what, interact=interact, *args, **kwargs)
RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded
...
File "M:\Neuer Ordner\Bad Memories 0.5.2\renpy\character.py", line 1126, in __call__
what = what_pattern.replace("[what]", sub(what, translate=True))
File "M:\Neuer Ordner\Bad Memories 0.5.2\renpy\character.py", line 1115, in sub
return renpy.substitutions.substitute(s, scope=scope, force=force, translate=translate)[0]
File "M:\Neuer Ordner\Bad Memories 0.5.2\renpy\substitutions.py", line 253, in substitute
s = formatter.vformat(s, (), kwargs)

Or the way "mrms" and/or "pcsure" are defined in the script.
Somehow it creates an infinite loop when combined with (German) translation files.

i dont use any translation
i play like downloaded^^
and on other games, i dont got any problems, cause "german windows" as os

anyway, thanks for try to help me out :]

Umm, are you trying to use my transparency patch with this game? Or some other tool that has my patch integrated into it?

There seems to be a problem that dates back to v0.1 of this game and due to the fact that I haven't updated my patch to match character definitions with the new version.

Please just remove y_outline.rpy and y_outline.rpyc and try again from the start. You can just choose not to show dialog box background when you start the game or switch it off in preferences.

recreation, I'm sorry, it's probably my fault. Kind of. Stop trying to find a solution for it at least until we get confirmation to my suspicion.

 

[Master of Puppets]

It looks like a recursion because someone put a variable tag inside a variable, but why would anyone do that?

I just released a fixed new version. It won't change much in this game, only character name font and outline (say_label style) and MC's "thoughts" style.

Sorry about the mishap!

Why are there two .exe files, one named BM and the other Not-BM?

Ran a seasrch and found the question was asked before, but was not answered as far as I could tell. Both work, but the second one seems to have a different same location. Is there anything else different between them?

No, there is no such file in the v05 pc version as Not-BM.exe

Where did you download the game from? Is it the compressed version or some mod?

What do you mean by "the second one seems to have a different same location"? So, is it at the same location or a different one?

 

[ImperialD]

No, there is no such file in the v05 pc version as Not-BM.exe

yes there is , its the starting files for the game

 

[ImperialD]

i wondered the same thing .. clicked on it and game started .. i didn't have a BM file tho

 

[Penfold Mole]

Right, I haven't downloaded v0.5.2, it must have been added after v0.5 was released.

 

[Challenge]

I said it seems to, because the save files weren't visible when I opened the not-bm version.

I probably have both because I overwrite the files rather than a fresh start every time.

that would have been my guess

Looking at my downloads v0.5.1 had not-BM.exe while v0.5.2 has Bad-Memories.exe

PS: If you're installing a new version of the full game, it's generally a bad idea to overwrite your old files with the new ones. For Ren'py games at least this breaks things sometimes. Best to delete the old files first (except for /game/saves maybe).

Obviously that's not the case if you're installing a patch, as those are intended to update the existing files.

i don't see what your wanting .. just start the game again .. its not that hard to play

I just downloaded all compressed versions currently still available and it seems as tough either the compressors or recreation had some fun in (re)naming the starters for each of them:

Version	Name
0.5 compressed	BM
0.5.1 compressed	not-BM
0.5.2 compressed	BadMemories
0.5.2	BadMemories

It was possible to load my current saves with each version and (on applicable versions) the gallery showed the same scenes unlocked.

It seems you extracted two different version into the same directory. As Meushi pointed out, this can lead to problems down the line and is best avoided.
