Black Box over Enemies

[Hibiro]

EDIT: It seems it has to do with the IconSet I'm using. I guess MV doesn't like the larger size without errors. This is really disappointing and frustrating, as it means I have to be limited in selection for what I can use. I'm personally not fond of all the same symbols for things.

I can't upload the file I'm using for Icons though, since it's too big... I'd hate to not be able to use it though, so many options for Icons. I love variety more than anything.

This may have to do with the icon set I switched to. (Literally just took the MASSIVE 10000+ one I had from VX and used Gimp to increase it's size Blurry-ish when selecting the icons, but perfectly clear in Database and in-game.)

Anyway, now when I get into battle, enemies get a black box appearing above their hands that sit there. My guess is it's either the Iconset I'm using, or may be related to one of the scripts, as I assume they would call for the default stuff instead.

Any ideas/suggestions?

What's in the first slot of your iconset? I'm sure that you just have a black box there instead of leaving it transparent.

 

[Hibiro]

Nope. It's a transparent tile.

Check the immortal state in your database maybe? Yafly's battle engine sets that state on enemies at various points, so it could be that your immortal state has that black box as an icon maybe?

EDIT: Also, is this in battle test? Maybe try saving before trying again, the new graphic might not have loaded. That definitely looks like a state icon though.

thank you for this tip. this explains the issue I was having. My immortal state is not in the default slot, so i was getting an out of place icon.

Unfortunately, I still get after saving and actually test-playing the game for some reason.

Put an update on the first post. Still wondering if anyone's got any suggestions, or if there's just no hope here.

Hi Hibiro,

Have you tried making a new game file? Hear me out. Create a new game somewhere else on your hard drive. Test the fight and see if you get the same result. If yes, then maybe it's a bug or something wrong with your initial installation. If no though, then it is some graphic that you have changed along the way. It might help narrow it down a bit.

Hope it helps,

Sindaine

Look at your icon sheet and find out which one is a black square. That might help track down the issue. Look at all of your states in the database and see if any of those show a black square as the icon.

It 100% has something to do with the icon set.

I had the same problem, I tried changing the Immortal state icon to no avail. 

I searched the 1000+ icons I had for all black icons and changed them to no avail.

I turned off all the plugins to no avail.

Then I started a new game and wanted to see if it still had it, the black square was gone! I put the default iconset back in place and the black squares were gone! So there is an icon somewhere in the 1000+ set causing the error, if you find it remove it other wise stream line your icons to what you want to use and create a new sheet.

Or just don't use the 1000+ icon set (if it's the one I'm thinking of) as it contains rips and uncredited work.
