Class Extension v1.17 By G.A.M. Kertopermono Site link - Download - Demo Yanfly's Class System is a very solid script, but it is missing a few small things. This scripts adds just the little things it is missing. Some ideas came from members from the community. haothehare gave me the idea to...

(Do note that when I start a new game I have it to where there are no actors in the party at the beginning of the game until the player chooses who they start as.)
Thanks for any help in advance.
I can't download it.
How do you have it "to where there are no actors in the party at the beginning of the game"?
Did you delete actors from the Actors tab? If you did that, add them back in there, then go to the System tab and delete them from the Starting Party instead.

I deleted them from the system tab not the actors tab.
There is no actor in the party for the start of the game until the player chooses their character.
If I understand well your problem, I can see two different solutions for it.
The first approach (simplest and safest):
Looks like this script relies on the existence of at least 1 party member in the party.
Instead of removing all party members you may create something like a "dummy" actor with no graphics and add it to party and them remove it right after the first "real" party member is added.
The second approach (complex and dangerous):
If you really, really, but really want or need to remove all party members from the initial party you can edit/patch the script where its returning the error.
By analyzing the error message, it seems at line 1683 the script is trying to call the method "character_name" from a nil actor (Probably because your starting party is empty).
To get around that you can check if the actor is nil before trying to retrieve the name from a non-existent actor, then return a default value if that is the case.
Something like this:
Ruby:
#============================================================================
# ** Game_Player
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# This class handles the player. It includes event starting determinants and
# map scrolling functions. The instance of this class is referenced by
# $game_player.
#============================================================================
class Game_Player < Game_Character
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * New: Refresh
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
def refresh
@character_name = actor ? actor.real_character_name : ""
@character_index = actor ? actor.real_character_index : 0
@followers.refresh
end
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# New: character_name
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
def character_name
if CXJ::CLASS_EXTENSIONS::ENABLE_CLASS_SPECIFIC_GRAPHICS
return "" unless actor
cname = actor.character_name
cind = actor.character_index(@direction)
return cname if cname != actor.real_character_name || cind != actor.real_character_index
end
@character_name
end
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# New: character_index
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
def character_index
if CXJ::CLASS_EXTENSIONS::ENABLE_CLASS_SPECIFIC_GRAPHICS
return 0 unless actor
cname = actor.character_name
cind = actor.character_index(@direction)
return cind if cname != actor.real_character_name || cind != actor.real_character_index
end
if $imported["CXJ-AnimEx"]
super
else
@character_index
end
end
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# New: face_name
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
def face_name
if CXJ::CLASS_EXTENSIONS::ENABLE_CLASS_SPECIFIC_GRAPHICS
return "" unless actor
fname = actor.face_name
return fname if fname != actor.real_face_name || actor.face_index != actor.real_face_index
end
@face_name
end
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# New: face_index
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
def face_index
if CXJ::CLASS_EXTENSIONS::ENABLE_CLASS_SPECIFIC_GRAPHICS
return 0 unless actor
fname = actor.face_name
return actor.face_index if fname != actor.real_face_name || actor.face_index != actor.real_face_index
end
@face_index
end
end
I altered just 4 lines of code: 23, 35, 51 and 62, but I posted the whole class anyway, just for completeness.
It's a null check for returning a default value if the actor is absent.
However, I can't guarantee this will work, and if it really works at game startup I can't guarantee it will work for rest of the game.
If the first approach works for you, I suggest you stick with it.

For the looks of it, it's trying to access a method which is not defined yet in the the actor's class. This kind of thing generally occur due to script load ordering issues.
I know it looks clichê, but are you sure the loading order is correct? Can you post a screenshot of it?
By the way, can you verify if the same error occur with a normal starting party?

For your original problem, you can do the following changes to Class Extension:
Code:
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# New: character_name
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
def character_name
return '' unless actor
if CXJ::CLASS_EXTENSIONS::ENABLE_CLASS_SPECIFIC_GRAPHICS
cname = actor.character_name
cind = actor.character_index(@direction)
return cname if cname != actor.real_character_name || cind != actor.real_character_index
end
@character_name
end
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# New: character_index
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
def character_index
return 0 unless actor
if CXJ::CLASS_EXTENSIONS::ENABLE_CLASS_SPECIFIC_GRAPHICS
cname = actor.character_name
cind = actor.character_index(@direction)
return cind if cname != actor.real_character_name || cind != actor.real_character_index
end
if $imported["CXJ-AnimEx"]
super
else
@character_index
end
end
For your other problem, it appears to be a script conflict between Class Extension and ESTRIOLE's subclass patch. They both use the method 'max_level'. Because Class Extension is lower in the script list, ESTRIOLE's <class_max_lv> tags are being ignored. Meanwhile, Class Extension defaults them to -1, which the subclass script tries to calculate the EXP amount for level -1, hence the error thrown.
I haven't read the other responses, but if you NEED one party member, you could just check the Transparent flag in the System tab so you can't see the actor.
I tested that with his scripts. Gets an error for actor.character_index(@direction)
Then found more entries for it. Swapping Game_Actor gave the error but swapping Game_Player works.
Put the class extensions after yanfly class system script.
Then you may get an error. Comment out that line (1466) then it may work.

so hopefully tomorrow i get to go home from the hospital i've been here for 5 days already and it's driving me mad. I miss my family like crazy but at least I get to use my own toiletries and my own clothes. My mom is coming to visit soon i can't wait to see her cause i miss her the most.
Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
