I did it. How does it work?

Unfortunately, that did not solve the issue.

As an editor, you should be able to edit the values of $constants["coin1"] and $constants["coin2"] in your log. Since there are only four possible combinations, you can do a little bit of experimenting to find the correct values. If only one combination lets the game play through without error, that is the correct combination.

I did this, but it turns out the random placement is not the problem.

I removed all the moves from the log starting with the bad one.  It turns out that there really was an illegal move that for some reason was allowed before...  The next move was f4-g5.  Sorry for the false alarm!
