Heyho!

I just fixed a bug for a test player, and deployed my game again (to windows), with the MV inbuilt encryption. For some reason all the images in the sv_enemies and pictures files are not loaded by the game anymore, even though they are in the right folders and are named in a way that shouldn't cause any issues. This does only happend if I use the encryption option. Strange thing is that it didn't happen before, though everything I did was adding an event command.

Did anything similar happen to some of you? What are possible causes for this?


EDIT: Another thing I recently did, was linking my project folder to a cloud to make working with my partner easier. I copied the folder to my pc and deployed from there, just to check, but nothing changed.

From what I've heard, putting an RPG Maker project inside a cloud-sync folder can really mess up some of the files. You might want to try restoring a backup from before you did that and see if that one still works.

Or it could be because of the recent update and nwjs shenanigans - if you upgraded it before, you'll need to do that again.

Have you solved this issue? It also happened to me before, and I couldn't find a solution to fix it. I heard this issue has been present since the previous version of RPG Maker. Thankfully, I have a backup file that was created a week ago, but I might have missed and can't recall all the changes I made. Since this happened, I've been creating a backup folder every day.

I'm actually still trying to find out what happened. I also made it a habit to backup regularly, so I just had to recreate a very small part of the game before deployment, but I really have no idea what happened.

Maybe it was the update as @Mac15001900 said, if so it seems to be fixed by now though. Also there seems to be no difference between the cloud synced and the local version. Strange, but at the moment I am just happy everything is working again!

Kokoro Reflections is my favorite tileset maker. I absolutely love their work. I have bought quite a bit from them. Best RPG Maker tileset creator ever imo.
Me working on a deadline, "don't make the baseline and chords too funky, don't over compose it... remember, you have to finish it." Touches MIDI controller...instant funk.

Like, they chose a remake of a 20 year old game and a vanilla 2D Mario game over it?

If I could draw, my Game Jam title screen would be a Krampus sitting in Santa's chair, his long, blonde hair flowing in the wind, sipping on an Espresso, while snacking on cheddar popcorn, chewing on an orange pencil pensively, while completing a crossword puzzle. I guess it's a good thing I can't draw.
