.RPYC and Save Issue (T-T)

[Chu-3]

I just deleted my .rpyc files, then launch the game again, load the save data (I didn't change the script at all) and continue the game until the end, but it won't end.
I got an error message told me that label xxx couldn't be found.
Before I deleted the .rpyc files, I can go until the end, the the game will be reloaded normally to the main menu. Again, there's no change on the script.

I wonder what's happened that made a simple script, with a similar structure to my game.
And I got the same issue as well.

The script is:

Code: Select all

label start:

    e "You've created a new Ren'Py game."

    e "Once you add a story, pictures, and music, you can release it to the world!"
    call a
    
    return
    
label a:
    "test"
    jump b
    
label b:
    "test1"
    return

Then do this:
Launch the game>save at the point I mentioned below>quit the game, delete all .rpyc files>launch the game again and load the save file.

*If I save at "e "You've created a new Ren'Py game."" >>everything will work fine even if the .rpyc is deleted once.
*But if I save at "test1" (label b) , just before the game ends, an error message below will be displayed when you loaded the game and go further until the game's end.

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

ScriptError: could not find label '('D:\\test/game/script.rpy', 1305052070, 5)'.

Ren'Py Version: Ren'Py 6.12.0e

This happened in renpy 6.12.0 and 6.12.1.
And this issue really makes me stressed since it means I can't release a patch which the player can use without deleting the old save data T-T

Any help?

*I just found a similar question about issue on save/load within the forum.
And I guess the problem is within the call function, since if the .rpyc is changed, renpy can't detect where did you call the function from when it met the return function...
*I'll guess I'll separate the script with call function and not then. And .rpyc with a call function should not be deleted. Am I right? OTL

EDIT: My suggestion was completely off the mark XD

Basically, what you have to do is to drop the old .rpyc files in, and then let Ren'Py create new ones. Ren'Py uses the data in the old .rpyc files to ensure saves can migrate from one version to another (usually).
