KeyError: u'properties' after updating

[ezyn]

I recently updated renpy and change/update GUI.
Now the game runs into errors when I load certain saves.
When I start from the beginning it doesn't happen.

Here's the traceback:

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
  File "game/script9.rpy", line 1035, in script
    n "and slit her throat."

I don't know what this means and where it is coming from.
I checked the line 1035 and there's doesn't seem to be anything different about it compared to my other lines.
The 'n' stands for narrator which is defined before label starts.

Code: Select all

define n = Character(None, kind=nvl, what_color="ffffff")

I tried searching other similar errors about keyerror: u 'something' and most of the problem came to 'something' not being defined but I don't know where 'properties' comes from in my case.

Certain older version saves will likely have stored some objects (including any Character objects) within the save. If the version update includes changes to those objects (which 6.99.14 probably did for Character to allow attributes/properties within the say routine, e.g. multi-character and other arguments after the dialogue) the saved object might not have those attributes, thus causing the error.
No real way to quick-fix as far as I know, except by playing through and re-saving at similar points... or by downgrading the version again.

Don't take my reply as gospel though... just seems likely.

This is probably a bug, I'm planning on fixing it tonight.
