RPG_RT Error

[DragonBlaze]

I don't really see anything that would cause an error like that. Do you have any coding in the monster group? Show the picture of the other two events you were talking about.

Also, you can try adding an end event processing commmand at the end of your last page in that event. I doubt it'll do anything, but you can try.

Hey DragonBlaze - the End Event Processing didn't work. The two events I was talking about was an example, and I will post them now. I made two new events, one a party switcher and one a battle with Jan Practice Battle2. My starting party is Harrison, Austin, David, and Seth, and I remove Harrison, David, and Seth. If I battle, switch, and battle again, I get the error message. If I switch and battle, then no error message.

Hello? I still have the error message...  

[LordByrd]

Can anyone help?

[LordByrd]

I am bumping this topic because I have found a weird discovery. Upon changing the system graphics and transitions before the battle begins, I have found it works... for a while. Then the error message continues to pop up.

Now, I started a new game, and I noticed the error message doesn't come up - and then I realized something. I went back to my game and changing the Battle Type from Gauge (which is was before) to Traditional/Alternative, and the error message goes away. Now, why does it do that?

 I found my problem, but is there anyway to fix this? I want to keep the Gauge because you get to see the faces of the people as well as the HP/MP and Time very clearly, while the other Battle Types are too clogged up and hard to understand.

So, basically, I need a way to keep the Gauge. I know I can't change the Battle Type in an event (unless I can and I don't know it), but I really want to keep the Gauge. Any suggestions? Comments? Anything?

Thanks to all of those who help!

Sorry, but it looks like we're all stumped XD

Rm2k3 isn't the most reliable program in the world. Have you tried installing it again from a different source?

I suggest that you just sacrifice your battle system and get on with making the game. Spending months trying to solve one problem is just a waste of time.

Moosetroop11, thanks for your input!

Yes, I realize working on this one problem is stupid because it can easily be fixed during gameplay; just save, quit, then reopen and it's fine (until the next one-man battle). However, that can be bothersome and it just bothers me because I feel I am so close to fixing it now that I have spent all this time on it.

I have tried unistalling/reinstalling it from the RK Resource Kit, and tried older/newer versions, their RPG_RTs, and other things and it still didn't work. I even downloaded stuff from Taiwan, and then that's another experience and story to tell...  

Anyway, if I just change the Battle Type it will be fixed, but Alternative and Traditional are so bad looking and are all clumped... I would use Alternative if it wasn't so cramped and cluttered (with the ATB bar all messed up with the MP numbers, etc).

Is there a way to change the Battle Type using an event or anything? Because that would help, I think... I've also tried making a Common Event so that when you enter battle, you have a two men fighting but one of them immediately leaves, and that doesn't work. It could also be that you have to do something between the first battle with more than one person to the battle with one person... like, something that will cancel the error in the code module. I don't know.  

Well, if anyone else has any input or suggestions, please tell me. Thanks!

hm... i start out games with 0 characters all the time.  (if fact i always do) Try starting the game with only one character.
(btw, its input, not imput.)

[LordByrd]

A Forgotten Legend, thanks for your input!

When you start a new or loaded game, if you start the battles with one character, the game is fine - which is why saving, closing the game, and reloading the game will fix this problem - temporarily. However, if you go from a more-than-one-man team to a one-man team (and sometimes a two-man team, which is weird because I never saw that happen), you'll get an error message.

Since a two-man team saw an error, I am going to look at more closely what I do between the battles that could cause the error, but I don't know if I will find anything that I haven't found before.

However, thanks for your suggestion A Forgotten Legend! Any more help on the issue (or suggestions) is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I've just read the whole topic and I can't think of a single reason why that's happening. Rpgm2k3 works in mysterious ways, maybe it infected your game with STD's or something.

[LordByrd]

Game_maniac, I have heard of other people with this same problem - but getting a new RPG_RT.exe usually fixes their problem. Or sometimes it's a script error, and I tried doing both.

Hmph, well, I'll keep trying.

Wow, we posted at the same time.

It is like an STD - annoying and most likely uncurable.
