So look what happened. 


I was hapily working on my project when suddenly something weird happen. I'm playing the game to test it, and when i was done I tried to save...for some reason I couldn't...It played that buzzer sound effect thing, you know when an option is unavailable? Yeah, so I went to the game title to see if that works from there, and then suddenly no saves! I checked the game files and the saves were just gone...after that I accepted my fate, and tried to play the game all over again(1-2 hours)...oh and by the way I could save normaly. Something changed though...I of course use the side view battle system with yanfly's plugin battle engine core. The characters were out of place, they were higher than normal...this didn't happen before the save thing...


I figured that the fact that I could save with no problem at the beginning means that something trigers the save delete issue...after searching for a while I found out that a specific map trigers it...I made a copy of that map, transfer myself there and the same thing happened...saves deleted...


Then I started deleting events two by two to see if the events are the issue...turns out a specific event trigered it, so I deleted it to see what happens...I could normaly save on that map. Copied this event to another map, but I could still save normaly. then I tried that all over again deleted this specific event but the bug came back for some reason...So I thought maybe it was the number of events? I don't know...I have maps way more events than that one...Strated messing around and I figured that sometimes it lets me save and sometimes it does not...Depending on how many events I delete? I still don't know...But if I leave the map as is, then the bug won't go away for sure...


This is driving me crazy, not because I lost the saves but beacause I don't understand it...Can anyone please help?


Thank's in Advance


PS:I am using RMMV


PS2:My OCD kicks in hard with that battle characters out of place...

The only thing I've seen that causes this bug is a parallel process is still processing (usually something like a picture is still in memory from the process), and since the game cannot save parallel process data, it will give an error. However, it shouldn't crash the saves unless something is adding more data to the save file, in which case the program will no longer know how big save files are supposed to be and will end up deleting them in response.


You may need to post a list of all of your scripts as well as a screenshot of the event that first triggered it (if you still have it somewhere) for more help, otherwise we are just guessing.

You're right the parallel ones were causing the issue to happen...I found out a little bit after I posted this and I was about to tag it as [SOLVED] but that still does not explain the fact that my battle characters are out of place...I resolved the issue with the save though...

Our latest feature is an interview with... me?!

People4_2 (Capelet off and on) added!

Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
one bad plugin combo later and one of my followers is moonwalking off the screen on his own... I didn't even more yet on the new map lol.
