Game fails to launch when modtools was installed
If when launching the game after updating, you get the following error:

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred. While loading the script. Exception: Module modloader/patch_errorhandling_screens could not be loaded. -- Full Traceback ------------------------------------------------------------ Full traceback: File "F:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Angels with Scaly Wings\renpy\bootstrap.py", line 290, in bootstrap renpy.main.main() File "F:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Angels with Scaly Wings\renpy\main.py", line 331, in main renpy.exports.load_module("_errorhandling") File "F:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Angels with Scaly Wings\renpy\exports.py", line 2196, in load_module initcode = renpy.game.script.load_module(name) File "<string>", line 22, in load_module File "F:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Angels with Scaly Wings\renpy\script.py", line 279, in load_module raise Exception("Module %s could not be loaded." % name) Exception: Module modloader/patch_errorhandling_screens could not be loaded. Windows-8-6.2.9200 Ren'Py 6.99.12.2.2029

Or
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred. While running game code: File "game/bootstrap.rpy", line 1, in script init python: File "game/bootstrap.rpy", line 4, in <module> import modloader ImportError: No module named modloader -- Full Traceback ------------------------------------------------------------ Full traceback: File "game/bootstrap.rpy", line 1, in script init python: File "F:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Angels with Scaly Wings\renpy\ast.py", line 814, in execute renpy.python.py_exec_bytecode(self.code.bytecode, self.hide, store=self.store) File "F:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Angels with Scaly Wings\renpy\python.py", line 1695, in py_exec_bytecode exec bytecode in globals, locals File "game/bootstrap.rpy", line 4, in <module> import modloader ImportError: No module named modloader Windows-8-6.2.9200 Ren'Py 6.99.12.2.2029 Angels with Scaly Wings 1.07

Then please follow these steps to get your game back in working order:

  1. Open the Angels with Scaly Wings folder via Steam and navigate to the 'game' folder. It should look something like this: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/365116543127912449/430316952452333570/unknown.png
  2. Delete the files 'bootstrap.rpy' and 'bootstrap.rpyc'
  3. Verify the integrity of game files through Steam. Right click 'Angels with Scaly Wings' in your Steam library and navigate to properties. Click the 'Local Files' tab and then click 'Verify Integrity of Game Files'. The dialog should look like this: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/365116543127912449/430317586740281345/unknown.png
  4. Wait until Steam redownloads game files
  5. Launch the game. You should be met with an unmodded AwSW.
  6. You may now install mods through the Steam workshop as normal.


If instead, you receive an error message similar to this:

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred. While running game code: File "game/steam_workshop/bootstrap.rpy", line 14, in script File "game/steam_workshop/bootstrap.rpy", line 19, in <module> WindowsError: [Error 126] -- Full Traceback ------------------------------------------------------------ Full traceback: File "game/steam_workshop/bootstrap.rpy", line 14, in script File "C:\VueScan\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Angels with Scaly Wings\renpy\ast.py", line 814, in execute renpy.python.py_exec_bytecode(self.code.bytecode, self.hide, store=self.store) File "C:\VueScan\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Angels with Scaly Wings\renpy\python.py", line 1695, in py_exec_bytecode exec bytecode in globals, locals File "game/steam_workshop/bootstrap.rpy", line 19, in <module> File "steam_workshop/steam_config.py", line 48, in has_steam File "steam_workshop/steamhandler.py", line 367, in get_instance File "steam_workshop/steamhandler.py", line 98, in __init__ File "/home/tom/ab/x64lucid-deps/install/lib/python2.7/ctypes/__init__.py", line 365, in __init__ WindowsError: [Error 126] Windows-7-6.1.7600 Ren'Py 6.99.12.2.2029 Angels with Scaly Wings 1.07

Then please follow these steps to get your game back in working order:
(The presence of a 'WindowsError' is close enough for this set of instructions)

  1. Open the Angels with Scaly Wings folder via Steam and navigate to the 'game' folder. It should look something like this: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/365116543127912449/430316952452333570/unknown.png
  2. Make sure you have the Update for Universal C Runtime in Windows[support.microsoft.com] update installed.
  3. Now download the Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015[www.microsoft.com]. Make sure you install the x86 version regardless of if you're on a 64 bit platform.
  4. Launch the game. You should be met with an unmodded AwSW.
  5. You may now install mods through the Steam workshop as normal.
If you had the 'WindowsError' style error message, and followed the above instructions but the error did not go away:
  1. Delete the 'steam_workshop' folder.
  2. Launch the game. You should be met with an unmodded AwSW.
  3. Unfortunately, you won't be able to install mods from the workshop. But please post here with the exact error you were getting from the game, as well as your system's language and if you had ever played the game on that computer before

I think that might have been something we forgot to push out. We've just pushed out an update to the mods mod and if you launch the game now, it should start working again. (If this doesn't, try exiting Steam and starting it again)

Atleast the game starts now with the mod installed, but i got a question. For the mod to work, can i just load a game with the particular ending before i got the mod, or do i gotta start again and aim towards the ending that leads to the mod starting? Because the ending with Adine still wont start, and when i put the mod with the Core file it breaks again... can send another screenshot if you want. Thanks so much for caring to help btw

I don't have modtools installed, yet I get this error on a clean install of AwSW:

It seems deleting/moving the workshop folder out of the game folder fixes the issue.

Sadly, the mod still causes an error, and when i remove the bootstrap, all mods are gone.

Did you use or install the mod "reset data"?
Like,
click install mod and game not open anymore?
or click "reset data" and game not open anymore?
it's click " reset data " and the game not open anymore

okay, that's not something that happened in testing. hmmm

open file explorer and in directory bar type "%appdata%\RenPy" then delete folder "Angels with Scaly Wings"
then open game install location, open "Angels with Scaly Wings\game" then delete "saves" folder.

then try to make game open.


oh, i open the game and something appears this one:


I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.
