A friend's having issues modding
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred. While running game code: File "game/Modloader_and_CoreMod.1/bootstrap.rpy", line 1, in script init python: File "game/Modloader_and_CoreMod.1/bootstrap.rpy", line 2, in <module> import modloader ImportError: No module named modloader -- Full Traceback ------------------------------------------------------------ Full traceback: File "game/Modloader_and_CoreMod.1/bootstrap.rpy", line 1, in script init python: File "D:\Steam\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 "D:\Steam\steamapps\common\Angels with Scaly Wings\renpy\python.py", line 1695, in py_exec_bytecode exec bytecode in globals, locals File "game/Modloader_and_CoreMod.1/bootstrap.rpy", line 2, 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

The main reason is that, whenever he boots up the game, the modloader folder vanishes. Just straight up deletes itself, for whatever reason.

We've tried disabling Steam Cloud, and that doesn't do anything.

Did your friend installed VC 2015 Redist on their PC?
It might be a library problem.

Or else try a clean install again.

EDIT: Did some research, it's a library problem, listed in the Pinned Topic of this sub.

So lacking that library would result in the folder self-deleting?

I'll try going over it with him.

I don't think that path is real at all. Maybe something about the installing of the modtools uses it but as far as I know, that folder is non-existant.
Let me check the modtools code real quick.
Can you tell me more about what happened?
like, did the game work before for your friend subbed to a mod?

He showed me a screenshot and he does have that folder in there.

And he's not installing a mod that's on the workshop - he's installing one that wouldn't really be allowed on the workshop. (One by the name "Bottleless")

The game worked fine before he tried installing this mod as well - in fact, he'd beaten the game long before I even bought it, lol.

I installed the same mod myself and it's working fine.

Okay, so your friend needs to delete any and all files he has added to the game
and these folders if they exist

/game/modloader
/game/mods
/game/bootstrap.rpy and rpyc version

Once they get their game working again (a reinstall might be easist if your friend is having trouble with files)
Then sub to a mod on steam, any mod will do, that should install the modtools, then your friend can add the folder from the bottleless zip "called bottleless" to the mods folder.
That should make it work since the bottleless mods was updated to support the modtools.

(and /game/modloader_error_handling.rpe if you're doing it this way)

I'm not sure I understand what the difference is - I installed the modloader from an external source, too, and it's working just fine for me.

I've linked him to this thread, but he's in bed right now so it'll be awhile before he sees it

Okay, he's switched over to the Steam Workshop and is using two mods from it (Post True, AWSW) but when he tries to add Bottleless, he gets an error thrown - that he doesn't have a mod library file for it, or something.

And he's adding the bottleless mod to the "mods" folder, like you said to.

I think the problem is with the mod itself rather than the mod loader, i checked and found that i had the same error with the bottleless mod. I fixed this by editing the _init_ file so:

from modloader.modlib import sprnt from modloader.modlib import base as ml # ml shortcut

to

from modloader.modgame import sprnt from modloader.modgame import base as ml # ml shortcut

loaded the game after the change and it loads fine and works. I hope this helps.
