RMMV Unclear Plug-in Issue

[Cymaiden]

Can anyone identify the issue that has suddenly caused my game to stop loading properly? I can't tell what has gone wrong based on this error message.

 

[Pasteleptic]

It seems the YEP Core Engine is to blame (possible incompatibility with other plugins). Try disabling everything, and then re-activate one by one until you get the error code again.

The error vanished when I disabled the KMS_SplashEncount plug-in designed to emulate the "screen shatters at the start of a battle" effect seen in games like Final Fantasy IV: The Complete Collection. I should haven known as it isn't the first time that plug-in has clashed weirdly with other plug-ins.

The error is complaining about a missing file in your libs folder. As this file doesn't exist by default, and the error cleared when you turned off the splash encounter plugin, it's likely supposed to be included in that folder when you use that plugin.

When you downloaded the plugin, it either came with some files to put in your libs folder, or it gave you instructions on how to download those files to use them in the project.

It could also be possible that the file was there originally, and something else removed it, causing the error to suddenly come up.

The zip file that I downloaded here only comes with a plug-in, a license document and a readme file. There wasn't anything else that needed to be coped into a game project directory.

But it does say's to download the treejs.js in the description below.
if you dont read it, you miss things

additionally, there might be a problems caused by the name of the plugin
"No Level & exp"


All browsers always have problem loading filenames that break the networking conventions - that might happen correctly sometimes, but it will cause problems sooner or later.
and spaces are NOT allowed under networking rules, which is why your other plugins either omit spaces or use underscore in their places.
And I don't know at the moment if the & is allowed either.

I strongly suggest you rename the plugin to its original name or remove all those spaces from its filename.
It has to be reinstalled once you do however

I just added "No Level & exp" a few hours ago and it was labeled that when I downloaded it. Previously, the KMS_SplashEncount plug-in worked fine with everything else I currently have switched on, so it's clearly a conflict between those two plug-ins that caused the error.

@Cymaiden I never said that the wrong naming would have cause the current error - that would have been extremely unlikely from the beginning.

I warned you that this will cause other errors in the future, especially on and after deployment to other operating systems, because it is breaking rules that some browsers have problems with.

Bughunting is more than just waiting for error messages, and if you see something that is a bug you should solve it even if it currently does not cause an error message.

I removed the spaces and the "&" from the No Levels & EXP plug-in and then reinstalled it, but the game is now returning the same error once I re-enabled the Splash Encounter plug-in.

The site you linked tells you to manually download the exact file that the plugin is missing, and install it in the libs folder.

If the engine is telling you it's missing, either you never had it, which would be weird if the plugin was previously working, something else removed it (possibly an antivirus or a cloud sync issue?), or you renamed the file.

Follow the installation instructions and put that file back in the right folder.

I tried this and now the game at least boots up again. However, now it crashes whenever a fight would start.

I tested it myself and I also get this new error.

I suspect the plugin was made with a different version of three.js, and this function it's trying to call doesn't work anymore. If you had the plugin working at some point, you had the correct version of the library it needed to work.

I also tried importing the other three.js files into the libs folder, just in case it had been split into multiple files and needed all of them, but there was no change. This plugin simply doesn't work anymore, I'm afraid.

I haven't played the FF4 remake you mention, but it's a screen shatter effect and it's worked fine for me with all of my Yanfly, SRD and other plugins.
