Hello.

After downloading the gambling pack tried opening it in RPG Maker MZ.  Said unable to read file Actors. json.  What to do?

Thank you for your time.

Hi, thanks for the report! Are you using the most up to date version of RPG Maker MZ? If you are, can you try redownloading a fresh version of the file? Something might have become corrupted while downloading.  Hope that fixes it!

Hello.  I checked and am using version 1.4.3.  On the rpg maker page 9/21 there was an update 1.3.3.  Downloaded the gambling file again.  Same error message came up.

Hm that's strange, that error usually means the files have been corrupted somehow. Are you able to try copying the Actors.json file from another project and pasting it into the template?

Hello.  Don't know if I did this correctly.  Opened up the data file from the gambling download and replaced the Actors.json file with the one from a project I have already.  This seemed to work, but then when opened the game file again for the gambling download another file .json could not be read "Classes", then "Items", then "Weapons".  I replaced them all, could not get passed an error message for file weapons.json.

I'm not sure what's going on with that, as the template doesn't use any weapons or anything else in the Database other than Common Events, so it's really strange that it's not working. I've tried to google the problem and most of the answers come back to say that it means the files are corrupted in some way, so it could be a problem with your RPG Maker software possibly? 

Hello.  I recently redownloaded RPG maker MZ and wanted to try out the gambling file again.  I just downloaded the cookie cutter system.  It's been so long I don't know what to do next.  I have a game already fleshed out that I'd like to incorporate your gambling games into.  How do I do that?  Thank you for your time.

Hi! Check out the installation instructions on the store page. It'll tell you which files to copy over, as well as which switches, variables, etc. to reserve for the system. :D
