RGSS3 Regedit Modifying - script call error

[ZirconStorms]

Original script:
Trying to set the value of DWORD values in-game (0 or 1) and it's not working; think I'm messing up the value format on the reg.set line. Script call:

reg = Registry.new()
reg.open(:HKEY_CURRENT_USER, "Software\Enterbrain\RGSS3")
reg.set("PlayMusic", 0)
value = reg.get("PlayMusic")
reg = nil; GC.start

What's the specific format needed for that reg.set command? The documentation for this line of code starts at line 76 or so in the script but I'm still a bit confused. (Working off of rough google auto-translations for this script.)

> reg.open:(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, "Software\\Enterbrain\\RGSS3")

reg.open:(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, "Software\Enterbrain\RGSS3")

Perhaps you forgot to escape your backslash characters?

> reg.open:(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, "Software\\Enterbrain\\RGSS3")

reg.open:(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, "Software\Enterbrain\RGSS3")

Still getting an error popup.

reg = Registry.new()
reg.open(:HKEY_CURRENT_USER, "Software\\Enterbrain\\RGSS3")
reg.set("PlayMusic", 0)
value = reg.get("PlayMusic")
reg = nil; GC.start

For reference, this one (modifying ButtonAssign values) seems to work fine:

reg = Registry.new()
reg.open(:HKEY_CURRENT_USER, "Software\\Enterbrain\\RGSS3")
reg.set("ButtonAssign", [0] * 25)
value = reg.get("ButtonAssign")
reg = nil; GC.start

Trying it myself, I found that neither works; both can return that same error message. Sometimes it manages to work if I catch the error and spam the Enter key enough. I dug a little deeper and have narrowed it down to the .to_ansi calls it makes, notably in the open and query methods. Removing them ensured 100% success in my calls.

Now the annoyance is that this will still not get you what you want. I've actually explored this topic before:

In short, changing the registry value won't suddenly enable the player's Game.exe to play music.

For some reason, this now happens:

reg = Registry.new()
reg.open(:HKEY_CURRENT_USER, "Software\\Enterbrain\\RGSS3")
reg.set("PlayMusic", 0x1, :REG_DWORD)
value = reg.get("PlayMusic")
reg = nil; GC.start
SceneManager.exit

On my end, if I modify the ButtonAssign value and force-close the game immediately afterwards, once I re-open it, the values are applied to the game and show up properly in the F1 menu. It's strange to hear that the ButtonAssign script call gave you any errors...
