Modders, I need help! I got an actual modded version running on my M1 Mac (the jukebox is there!), but am hitting many bugs that Windows players surely aren't. I think most of them are because my install isn't 100% right, and some others are the mods' fault (explanation later).
Here's what I did - and I did exactly these in order, to make sure it wasn't some extra step I forgot doing:
- Download
You must be registered to see the links
(I picked Fully Modded + Expanded)
- Extract it, of course.
- Download
You must be registered to see the links
- Extract and follow the directions. I chose to copy the game into /Applications (instead of linking it).
- Do the usual hoop-jumping to convince MacOS to allow you to run it. Something something, control-click, remove quarantine attribute.
- Run game, see jukebox, try various things out.
Here are the bugs I've found. All but one are RPGMaker exceptions, which freeze the game:
- Interacting with the jukebox and saying Yes gives
UnknownError
Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, scandir './www/audio/music'
This seems to be because Mac RPGMaker MV uses app.nw instead of www (whyyy? but OK) and the mod is hardcoding the path
- In the National Institute (and maybe other places), interacting with a toilet gives
ReferenceError
nakaIndex is not defined
Many things trigger this bug, including:
- Saying OK to Fuba in the Institute
- Talking to various students in the Institute's NE classroom
- Using the toilet at home
- Examining yourself at home gives
ReferenceError
isMinBelly is not defined
- Equipping the nekomimi accessory causes two MacOS error popups:
"img/characters/hadumiSemen_hair.png" could not be found. The game can be continued, however images and sounds might be missing.
Same for 1 other file in img/characters/. These don't freeze the game. True to the popup's warning, Hazumi's map sprite becomes invisible. Removing the equipment fixes it.
The themes seems to be looking at the wrong file paths and JS variables either becoming undefined or somehow escaping initialization in the first place.
So, what should I do to fix my install?
