RMVXAce suddenly won't load my imports? Crashes on launch.

[ROFLPIZZA]

Hey everyone. I think this is the right place for this post, but I'm still really new here so I don't know.

Anyway, earlier I installed the RMVX and RMVXAce RTPs so I could try some completed games and they didn't end up working. But that's aside the point.

My issue is that now when I try to test my game it no longer loads any of the resources that I added to work with the scripts I'm using. This inevitably crashes the game on launch.

In addition, when I go to change the map BGM, the music I added doesn't show up, yet it as well as the rest of my extra resources are in their respective folders (as they were before).

This is distressing, for I've pretty much lost all of what I've worked on up until now. I really hope that somebody can help me out here.

I will otherwise cry.

A lot.

You haven't given us much information to go on.


When it "crashes on launch" does it give you a message? What does it say? The FULL and EXACT text - not just a word here and there. What "scripts" are you using? Provide links.


Where did you download your engine? When did you last install/reinstall it?


And just note - you are not legally allowed to use the VX resources (RTP) to make a VX Ace game unless you actually own a copy of VX.

Ah, my mistake. The error message just says: "Unable to find file: Graphics/System/Battle_Enemy_HP_Layout" so I didn't think it'd help you at all seeing as how it just says that I'm missing something (which I'm not, by the way).

I did not download the RTP to use any of the resources either. As I stated, I had to download it in order to play someone else's game that I found on here (but it still didn't work). The resources that I'm using are ones that I got from free and otherwise owned (by me) sources. I do not remember where or when I got my engine, so I don't know the answer to that. As far as scripts, I have a lot of them, so here goes:

I do not think that these are relevant though, because I know from the error message that the crash is occurring due to RMVXAce's inability to load my imports (NOTE: I just found out that the things I actually imported still load and function, it's the extra resources that I placed into the RMVXAce folders directly that aren't working; I will try moving them and come back).

One of your scripts is using that image. Probably one of your battle HUD's.


You need to figure out which script uses it and then go look at the original website to determine if there are any additional instructions such as downloading extra files.

Yeah, the 'missing' file belongs to MOGHunter's Enemy HP script, but the thing is that I have it and it worked before. Everything worked perfectly fine up until I installed the RTP so I imagine that has something to do with it. Once I figure out where the hell I installed it, I'm going to remove it and see if that helps.

You didn't save the "missing" file in the RTP folder, did you? So when you reinstalled the RTP, it clobbered it?


You should only EVER put your downloaded resources into your projects' folders, NEVER into the RTP.

I placed the resources in the regular RMVXAce folder, with everything else, not the RTP folder.

In any case, I deleted the RTP and now RMVXAce won't launch... so I guess I must have had that all along and just didn't know it.

I'll just reinstall it later when I have time and then try moving everything.

Good news everyone!

I moved all of my extra resources to the project folder and it all works now! Yay!

Thanks for your efforts, guys. I really appreciate it.

As for now, I am going to continue work on my game!

 

[Shaz]

um ... isn't that what I just said? Put them in your project folder?

Right, my bad. I was under the impression that, if I marked a comment as solved, it'd just mark the whole post. I have corrected my mistake and marked your reply as the best answer.

Thank you so much for your suggestion because I was unaware that I had to place my resources in the project folder and not directly in RMVXAce's game files.

You, sir, have single-handedly saved my work from the recycle bin and for that I can't thank you enough.
