CM Helper Problem

CM Helper won't start up. Gives me this error message.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 6, in <module>
File "__main__.py", line 128, in <module>
File "__main__cmh__.py", line 125, in <module>

I had a similar problem a long time ago. I think I fiddled with it until I fixed it, but not 100% sure.

The trace says: 'ValueError: File not in a supported format', which seems to point to CMH reading a type of file it wasn't expecting to read at some point. It doesn't really give any other helpful message.

What was the last thing you did before it garbled? Did you check task manager > processes to see if it isn't still running in the background/crashed?

The config file (AppState.txt) should be in:

C:\Users\{USER}\AppData\Roaming\GreenAsJade\CMHelper\

There is also a logfile there, which can perhaps give more info about why it crashes.

Thanks for the location of those Roaming folder and files. The AppState.txt was empty so I deleted it and ran CMHelper again and it seems to be working. Waiting for my opponent to reply.

Good, that was rather an easy fix.

When it came back up it went to the wrong Dropbox folder but got that fixed and all looks OK.

Thanks for your help!!
