RMMV Celestial Legacy - A 15-20 hour JRPG style game

[t28nguye]

The game is freezing for 3 seconds but is not generating a console error, the entire window is just closing. It seems to be completely random.

Its seems like something is wrong with the game. I can't enter the room right side of Garrett. I already tried a lot of times the one you show me T.T

Hmm... well, the wall passages work fine when tested, both in play test and in a real game. I've double checked the regions which allow passage and they're correct, too. Have you been able to walk through any walls before?

I unfortunately don't think I can help you here. If the game is just shutting down completely and closing the window, then the problem might be with your machine. Try playing without any other applications running or check to see if there is a memory problem, maybe you don't have enough? I don't think the game is terribly demanding on any CPU.

I can, but it seems I can't walk that one

I can, but it seems I can't walk that one

Here's a short video demonstrating exactly where the secret passages are. If you're still unable to walk through them, then there must be something amiss.

My laptop has 16GB memory. The game initially costs 1GB memory and the memory cost goes up from there quickly. That is the reason it kept shutting down. I played other game made by RPGMV for 5 hours straight without any problem.

I tested it myself and I see what you mean. I've been working on a small update to the game and one of the changes I will make is to help optimize the game for memory usage. I currently use SRD's GameUpgrade and PreLoader plugins to help load and cache images, audio files, animations, etc. So what I've done so far is turn off caching and reduced some of the images that are being pre-loaded, hopefully this should reduce the amount of memory the game is using.

When will the new version be uploaded without the memory problem?

Not exactly sure, but definitely sometime this week. There are some other minor issues I'm trying to fix, too, as well as some skill/enemy balance.

I am inside Tazewell mansion. What should I look for in there to open all the locked doors?

 

[DennisJFoster]

I seen several people on the forum have the same problem as me. The game shuts off and says not enough memory. My machine as with all the other peoples does not have a memory problem !! Something wrong with the game - you said you were going to try and fix it - did you ? I really want to play the game last time I saved after every battle (470) just so I could keep playing in case it shut down !! Please help !!

The keys for the doors are scattered throughout the game. Later on, you can come back to the mansion with keys that you've found to unlock new rooms. It will be close to the end of the game before you can unlock everything.

Still working on it. I'll post here once I have an update.

I do not know where I should go next from the town.

Head north through the forest.

Head north through the forest.

Thank you. I got it.

I have a posted a new update to the game which makes a number of minor changes across the board, from battle balancing and difficulty to general map cleanup and other minor issues. The biggest issue which should hopefully be fixed is memory leaking, which resulted in some players unable to play the game after a short time because it was using too much memory. The pre-loader plugin I was using was the likely culprit, as it was loading/caching a lot of images and sound files. The plugin has been disabled, so you will probably see some lag in battle or during cutscenes, and maybe some slightly longer load times than usual, but overall memory usage for the game should be much lower.

The Version History file inside the game folder details all the changes made for version 1.20 (current). Check them out if you wish. Feel free to post any other problems you run into and I'll do my best to resolve them. And thanks for playing!

Thank you. Can I continue with the game using save files?

 

[Chazareth]

Unfortunately, that's unlikely. Changes have been made to plugins and the database as a whole, so save files for older versions of the game probably won't work.

Is it just me or the link really isn't working?

It's not just you. Link doesn't seem to be working. I'm re-uploading it now. You can also try downloading it from the page on rpgmaker.net here.

Thanks for the fix, I can now play without memory errors - much more enjoyable !! I do have a question - I now control the ship - I must have missed something or done something wrong - I cannot get back into a couple towns to get the cats and also there is a cave blocked by rocks I cannot get into ? Any help - thanks !!
