Old University Project Unable to be Opened

[SeoulTea]

Hello all, if you check my account's post history you will see I inquired about a question regarding a project for a game development program I was taking while in university. I have since graduated (and received perfect marks on the project) and wanted to revisit the work I had previously done. I managed to locate a copy of the executable folder in a Google Drive, however after zipping the file and extracting everything, I cannot seem to get the program to open. I also tried opening the index, however it returns the text "Error Failed to load: data/Actors.json".

I have seen some people say this is due to the built-in security features of modern browsers, however some others have said that it is simply due to the file being corrupted. I unfortunately do not have the old development files anymore, so is there any way to repair the files so that the game can be played once again? I will post the shared drive link here for people to download, however if that is against the rules please let me know.

Thank you for all the help!

Hi there!
I tested your project here, and everything is working. I managed to open the Game.exe and also import the files to the RPG Maker editor.

If you want to import the files to work on your project through the editor again, do the following:

- Create a new RPG Maker project
- Delete everything in that folder, except for the game.rpgproject
- Go to the game folder you want to work on and open the "www" folder.
- Copy everything inside the www folder and paste it on the new RPG Maker project you created.

Have fun

the error could also have happened if you tried to run or open the game while it is inside the zipped archive, without extracting it first.
given that it worked for the poster above that is the most likely case for you.
