Monmusu Quest! Paradox RPG 3.06

[Dnkk]

The crash would occur when going to this view

but now I can't reproduce this on the base version :/

Initially to rule out any other issues, I've requested that MTool translate the game, the translation got loaded in and then I got the expected behavior of it crashing immediately once I go to either Job or Race views

Now it does not... Only in the modified version which I understand is a lot more difficult to debug on someone else's machine :)

So for the moment I'll do some more testing, try out the stable version, see what happens

[Dnkk]

You know what, actually the stable branch works

And after I switch back to the latest - the crash returns

Testing this might be outside of the scope of support for MTool as now it's additional changes to the game that are introduced, but I will provide a bit more information in the case you're interested

The modification I mentioned is a translation made by ArzorX and the team using One-Click Patcher

[鬼才琪露诺]

In testing it, in case it wasn't communicated accurately I actually scratched through all of the options on all of the screens and didn't see a problem.
I'll think about it later.
For now, i need to sleep.

[鬼才琪露诺]

I'm works over 19 hours today..

[Dnkk]

Oh by all means 19 hours is a bit much I think

It is said that the actual effective hours per day in system development is from 4 to 6 of intense work

And the stable branch works, so that's great

[鬼才琪露诺]

@Dnkk

[鬼才琪露诺]

I don't have those things in game.

[Dnkk]

Ok, so did some more testing

One thing that I'm very confused about is - I initially thought that even the base version of the game crashes, and I could have swore that it did, but after posting the initial report I can no longer reproduce that
So for the sake of sanity, let's assume I just did something wrong and the base 3.06 v does not crash under any circumstances

Now once you apply the ArzorX translation patch (and it does more then just translate the game) something changes that when you use the new version of MTool and load in a translation on top of it, it causes the crash, but the old version of MTool does not do that

And the particular script that crashes is this - or rather the block of script inside the file ...画面/153 - 転職編集.rb

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------

● ジョブ説明の描画 #Drawing Job Description edited in translation to adjust description font size and text space

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
def draw_job_desc(y, num)
lht = 24
desc_text = NWConst::JobChange::JOB_DESC_TEXT[@class_id]
desc = desc_text[num] if desc_text
return y + lht unless desc
lht -= (desc.size - 4) * 2 if desc.size > 4
lht = 16 if lht < 16
rect = Rect.new(4, y, contents.width - 4, lht * desc.size)
r = Rect.new(rect.x, rect.y, rect.width, lht)
desc.each_with_index do |text, _i|
draw_text_job_desc(r, text, lht)
r.y += lht
end
rect.y + rect.height
end

As far as I could understand it's the
desc.each_with_index do |text, _i|
draw_text_job_desc(r, text, lht)
r.y += lht
end
with the each_with_index do loop expecting to get only 2 arguments, but getting three when you go to the Jobs (Occupation) and Races (Species) view

Adding the crash text

I will currently use the stable branch version of MTool, and hopefully this will help if anymore similar issues arise to at least have something to start from when debugging

If you need more information or help to test something - let me know

P.S.: what also is a bit messy - the initial crash screenshot specified a different error (bad value for size) but not sure currently why I got that error initially

[鬼才琪露诺]

Nothing much, this game has been causing a lot of problems...

[Dnkk]

A bit more follow up

I've modified the script's loop so it's inside a try...catch... segment, so that even if an error occurs it does not close the game
Also added logging of what exact string is being put through the loop to see if it gives me any hints of what is happening and checked if those strings are different between different MTool versions

The modified script code snippet

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
 # ● ジョブ説明の描画 #Drawing Job Description edited in translation to adjust description font size and text space
 #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
 def draw_job_desc(y, num)
   lht = 24
   desc_text = NWConst::JobChange::JOB_DESC_TEXT[@class_id]
   desc = desc_text[num] if desc_text
   return y + lht unless desc
   lht -= (desc.size - 4) * 2 if desc.size > 4
   lht = 16 if lht < 16
   rect = Rect.new(4, y, contents.width - 4, lht * desc.size)
   r = Rect.new(rect.x, rect.y, rect.width, lht)
   file2 = File.open("debug_log.txt", "a")
   file2.write(desc) 
   file2.close unless file2.nil?
   begin
      desc.each_with_index do |text, _i|
        draw_text_job_desc(r, text, lht)
        r.y += lht
      end
   rescue Exception
      file = File.open("log_crash.txt", "a")
      file.write(desc) 
   ensure
      file.close unless file.nil?
   end
   rect.y + rect.height
 end

And the string that is processed when going into the Status -> Basic Information -> Job

["A hero-in-training who has not received the blessing of the Goddess. Aims to be a true hero, wields a sword but without experience. Average stats, poor at magic. Has personal sword skills and minor divine protection.", "", "", "", ""]["Equip: Dagger,Sword,Rapier,Spear,Axe,Club,Scythe,Boomerang", " Armor,Helmet,Shield", "Skills: Dagger,Sword,Heroism", "Passive: None", ""]

What is interesting, that the string is the same in both MTool branch versions, but for whatever reason this string causes a crash on the latest branch, but not in the stable one

So at least I've managed to make the latest MTool version work by "ignoring" the error. The Job and Race windows are then mostly empty, but the game does not crash

Will mess around with the code a bit more and see if there's a better option

[Dnkk]

A quick follow up

Managed to fix the crashing completely, but have no idea why it happens in the first place

So the current fix is that you have to rename the method being called inside the code snippet I showed

This is the method that causes the issue -> draw_text_job_desc(r, text, lht)

And renaming it into anything else fixes the problem

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# ● ジョブ説明の描画 #Drawing Job Description edited in translation to adjust description font size and text space
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
def draw_job_desc(y, num)
  lht = 24
  desc_text = NWConst::JobChange::JOB_DESC_TEXT[@class_id]
  desc = desc_text[num] if desc_text
  return y + lht unless desc
  lht -= (desc.size - 4) * 2 if desc.size > 4
  lht = 16 if lht < 16
  rect = Rect.new(4, y, contents.width - 4, lht * desc.size)
  r = Rect.new(rect.x, rect.y, rect.width, lht)
  desc.each_with_index do |text, _i|
    draw_text_job_desc2(r, text, lht)
    r.y += lht
  end
  rect.y + rect.height
end

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# ● ジョブ説明用テキスト描画
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
def draw_text_job_desc2(rect, text, lht)
  reset_font_settings
  text = convert_escape_characters(text)
  pos = { :x => rect.x, :y => rect.y, :new_x => rect.x, :height => lht }
  contents.font.size -= 6 #Sets font size to force word-wrapping and prevent a crash
  process_character(text.slice!(0, 1), text, pos) until text.empty?
end

As far as I understand Ruby does not allow overloads of methods like in C# or VB (or some other languages as well) and if someone declares a method with the same name, that method then gets overwritten - so perhaps that's why the original name of draw_text_job_desc causes the issues with the new versions of MTool

Attaching the modified script file just in case - though it's really simple to modify it yourself -> 153 - 転職編集.rb

The path to this files inside the translation folder from ArzorX is ...\Translated Files\Scripts\画面\

[鬼才琪露诺]

@Dnkk I'm defined this method with this sign: def draw_text_job_desc(rect, text)
i'll make this functuon defined to float args define.
with next update.

[Dnkk]

Glorious, just tested it and now it works without any modifications to the script

Seems with some additional research we fixed it
