Bug: Mod not starting

[reppercool]

What happened?

I was trying to make the game open at startup, but then my antivirus freaked out even if it was selected as an exception, the wscript file, now, whenever I try to put the wscript file back into "platform", it just says access denied, I just can't.

What's the antivirus you're using? Can you add the entire Submods\MAS Autostart to exceptions?

I added the entire doki doki directory, also Bitdefender

wscript.exe isn't used maliciously in the submod, it only serves the purpose of adding/finding MAS in autostart. Could you try adding C:\Windows\wscript.exe to exceptions? Note however that unfortunately that can let actual malicious software run Windows scripts.

that's not the problem, I can't put the wscript.exe in the "platform" folder in the MAS Autostart directory, it just says i don't have access, running it works just fine tho

You don't need to put wscript.exe anywhere. It's a part of Windows installation, the submod just uses it with its own script file.

the game says that the wscript.exe has to be in the game file, but i can't put it in said game file, it says i don't have access

i could take a screenshot perhaps?

Can you delete the submod altogether and install it again? I'd also appreciate if I could see at the traceback you're getting.

i've tried deleting it, and reinstalling it, here's the traceback:

[dreamscached]

So, reinstalling did not help? Is the .vbs still in platform?

reinstalling it still didn't put the .vbs in the directory

[reppercool]

it just said the same error

[dreamscached]

When you delete the submod, and put it back, and start the game, do you seen a traceback, an antivirus alert, or just an error in the log?
