version 5.1 doesn't start.... game still states 4.5.0.
And couldn't find rpc start file
the "." are correct they way they are, it's not helping you if you replace them with _ on the contrary.if you did unren the game you will have to open the chapter_five_part01.rpy file and fix it yourself. here's the necessary changes:
1. search for 'label chapter_five_part01' and replace it with 'label chapter_five_part01_start'.
2. go through all the lines including a 'label' or 'jump' commands, check if the name of the command includes a '.' character, like in 'chapter_five_part01.edithsMansion', if so replace the '.' with a '_', so changing it to 'chapter_five_part01_edithsMansion'.
after you're done with tha the game will work.
These are local labels inside the global chapter_five_part01 label. (which btw. is a fucking bad idea to change to _start, since it's getting called without _start at the end of chapter 4 part 5...)
So changing it to _ doesn't even change anything at all for you as the player, just for me as a programmer. But yeah good luck with a broken game once I ask if chapter_five_part01_start.edithsMansion has been seen
So to anyone trying to fix the code him/herself and to anyone ripping the game apart in the first place, without knowing what they're doing. Don't even consider to ask for help from us, I've got other things to do then to fix some morons self made problems.
But if you DID rip the game apart, and deleted all the .rpa files, well your problem mate, you should've done what intelligent people do, backing up the files you're tempering with.
So best thing would be to reinstall the game, since I'm constantly changing stuff in i.e. the shared.rpa which holds images and other files for all chapters combined, so if I change something there and remove images or move some, you would've to do the same with the extracted images... well whatever, at least go into the folder and just delete all .rpyc and .rpy files, download patch v0.5.1.1 (really small) and extract it over your game folder to replace the scripts.rpa which you deleted or whose .rpyc files you overwrote with your rpy files... After that you should be good to go for now, I don't care about image problems you might get later on though.
... seriously... having those old rpy files inside your game folder in an extracted manner is the most stupid thing you could do... since .rpy files ALWAYS create .RPYC files at game start, which overwrites the fresh downloaded "PATCHED" .rpyc files............ !!!!!!!!!!!
p.S.: I don't mind you guys ripping the game apart and tempering with the code at all! But if you do, do it in a way you don't steal my precious time. Like COPY the original game folder to somewhere else and extract all the shit in the copied one... Thanks!
