    I encrypted my game using the RPG Maker Encrypter, after which I deleted the Data, Graphics and PBS folders. The exe file still runs, but the game crashes when I try to choose the gender of my character and I get these messages:

    [PokeCommunity.com] Game crashes after encryption


    [PokeCommunity.com] Game crashes after encryption


    Does anyone know why this happens?
     
    It looks like the game can't read the "trainertypes.dat" file in your encrypted file "Game.rgssad" correctly. Are you sure everything got compiled and encrypted? One thing you could try is to take the "trainertypes.dat" file from the Data folder of your original, unencrypted project, then create a new Data folder in your encrypted game and place it in there. Your encrypted project will now have a Data folder, but it only has one file, "trainertypes.dat", which is itself encrypted, so it's not like anyone can just open and read it anyways.

    Yes, the problem is indeed with the trainertypes.dat file. However, creating a new data folder with the old .dat file doesn't help.
    The best thing that I could do is open my trainer.dat file with Notepad++ before encrypting my game and change the first line with the one from the original Essentials .dat file (I think the main issue is with the first two trainer classes, which are the classes for the player). This does fix the issue, but, as a result, the encounter themes for all the trainers don't play anymore, something which I don't want to happen.
