Script Conflict? Crashing in Battle

[Nightblade50]

Hey.
I am using a few scripts for the battle in my RPG Maker game.
1. Galv's Animated Battlers
2. Moghunter's Battle HUD Ex
3. Mogunter's ATB

Now I have this one battle in which halfway through, another character joins the fight. I set this up with an event triggered to run in the battle, using the Troop window. It does the [Change Party Member] command. However, when this happens, the game crashes, with "Sprite disposed" error. I'm not sure why it happens, but I think its probably a script conflict with the animated battlers. Or maybe it's trying to add another character to the ATB UI image (Moghunter's ATB Schala HUD) and crashes the game.

Can anyone help?

Please provide the full error message text. I'd expect it would normally show a script name and line number in addition to the issue description.

Grab the backtrace script and add it (you'll need to search for it, but it shouldn't be hard to find), then trigger the error. Post the results of that, as shown in the console.

@Nightblade50 More details of the error might help narrow down the issue. In the RPG Maker VX Ace editor, go to the 'Game' menu and make certain that the 'Show Console' option is selected. Next, place the following script below 'Main' and comment out the 'rgss_main { SceneManager.run }' line within 'Main' :

begin
  rgss_main do
    begin
      SceneManager.run
    rescue RGSSReset
      rgss_stop
    end
  end
rescue SystemExit
  exit
rescue Exception => error
  if $TEST || $BTEST
    scripts_name = load_data('Data/Scripts.rvdata2')
    scripts_name.collect! {|script|  script[1]  }
    backtrace = []
    error.backtrace.each_with_index {|line,i|
      if line =~ /{(.*)}(.*)/
        backtrace << (scripts_name[$1.to_i] + $2)
      elsif line.start_with?(':1:')
        break
      else
        backtrace << line
      end
    }
    error_line = backtrace.first
    backtrace[0] = ''
    print error_line, ": ", error.message, " (#{error.class})", backtrace.join("\n\tfrom "), "\n"
    raise  error.class, "An error ocurred. Please check the debug console for more information.", [error.backtrace.first]
  else
    File.open('error.txt', 'w') do |err_file|
      err_file.write(error.backtrace)
    end
  
    raise  error.class, "An error ocurred. Please check 'error.txt' in the game directory for more information.", [error.backtrace.first]
  end
end

Once that is done, run the game and attempt to recreate the error. Once the error occurs, left-click and drag your cursor over the text in the console to highlight the output. Afterward, right-click to copy the highlighted text.

If you cannot highlight or right-click copy the text in the console window, click on the icon in the upper left hand corner of the window and select the 'Defaults' option. In the 'Console Windows Properties' window that pops up, check-mark the 'QuickEdit Mode' and press the 'Ok' button. You should now be able to highlight and right-click copy of the text.

@Nightblade50 Would it be possible to paste the 'MOG_Battle_Command_EX' script here? I am having some difficulty in tracking that exact script down.

I am having some difficulty in tracking that exact script down.

It's in the MOG master demo file.

@Roninator2 Thank you.

@Nightblade50 The error might not be due to a script incompatibility. The 'Battle Command Ex' script appears to not be entirely prepared for the addition of an actor into the party during a battle. To work around the error, insert the following code at line 1063 :

return if bc_sprite.disposed?

The function should now appear like the following :

  def update_battle_command(bc_sprite,index)
      return if bc_sprite.disposed?
      bc_sprite.visible = bc_visible?
      update_bc_zoom_effect(bc_sprite,index)
      update_bc_slide_effect(bc_sprite,index)
      update_ring_position(bc_sprite,index) if COMMAND_TYPE == 4
  end

I had the same issue in my project and I believe this fixed it:

class Window_ActorCommand < Window_Command

  def refresh
      return if @actor == nil
      if battle_hud_ex_position?
      self.viewport = nil
      @bex = [$game_temp.hud_pos[@actor.index][0] + MOG_BATTLE_HUD_EX::ACTOR_COMMAND_POSITION[0] - (self.window_width / 2),
      $game_temp.hud_pos[@actor.index][1] + MOG_BATTLE_HUD_EX::ACTOR_COMMAND_POSITION[1] - @stwh[1] ]
      end
      clear_command_list ; make_command_list ; create_contents
      contents.clear
      self.index = 0 if self.index > @list.size
      set_window_position
      dispose_sprite_command if @actor_old != @actor
      @actor_old = @actor ; refresh_layout_bt; create_sprite_icons ; draw_all_items
      set_slide_effect
      update_sprite_battle_command   
  end
 
  def update_command_name
    return if @sprite_command_name == nil || @sprite_command_name.disposed?
    refresh_command_name if @old_name_index != self.index   
    @sprite_command_name.visible = @sprite_commands[0].visible   
  end
    
  def update_battle_command(bc_sprite,index)
    return if bc_sprite.disposed?
    bc_sprite.visible = bc_visible?
    update_bc_zoom_effect(bc_sprite,index)
    update_bc_slide_effect(bc_sprite,index)
    update_ring_position(bc_sprite,index) if COMMAND_TYPE == 4
  end

end
