RPG maker are full of internal bugs. Some have a known solution and others not yet. That's why I decided to make some sort of a compilation of them and I tried also to fix some.
I will post some of them, you can do the same.

Here's a template

[XP] Interpreter Script Call Bug

Description

On Script Call from events, when the final eval is 'false' the game crashes.

Examples

a = false
$game_system.timer_working = false

There are some ways to avoid it but it's not a real solution for the bug

a = false
result = true
a = false ; true

Solution

There is an official bugfix for this internal bug; Interpreter Script Call Fix



[XP] Float Speed Bug

Description

If you change the speed of the player to a float, the map and the events do not scroll exactly overlapped.

Solution

There is not a known solution for this bug.



[XP] F12 Stack Level Too Deep

Description

If you press F12 in-game the game has to stop and go to the Title Screen. But sometimes the game will crash with a 'stack level too deep' exception.

Solution

It's an alias problem. What you have to do is simple; look for all the 'alias' in your scripts, for example

alias nmode7_setup setup

and add 'unless $@' on the back.

alias nmode7_setup setup unless $@



[XP] The 'Remove and restore Sprite Battler' problem

Description

On battle, if you call a common event to remove an actor and later you call another common event (for example with an item) to get him again to the party (easy way to do an invocation system) its sprite reappears in the same place as before and it should not (I didn't found this bug and I don't understand exactly how it's supposed to work, sorry)

Solution

Quote from: OrochiiI found the problem. That is solved with one line of code in the right place...

Find this on Sprite_Battler:
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Frame Update
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def update
    super
    # If battler is nil
    if @battler == nil
      self.bitmap = nil
      loop_animation(nil)
      return
    end

And replace that with this:
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Frame Update
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def update
    super
    # If battler is nil
    if @battler == nil
      @battler_name = nil
      self.bitmap = nil
      loop_animation(nil)
      return
    end

This solves the problem. What happens is that the game deletes the image but not the variable that tells which image is loaded. So when you restore the same hero the script does not reload the image because it thinks the image was already loaded. I added @battler_name = nil so the variable is cleared too.

The new bugfix of 'Screen animation to multiple sprites' by LittleDrago fixes this one too.



[XP] The 'Teleport and Collision' weird problem

Description

You are in a map (Map1) which has an event that teleports you wherever in the Map2. In the same coordinates than the event but in Map2 there's another event with collision condition which does whatever. That second event should not be activated, but it is.

Solution

Put this above main:

class Game_Event
  alias transferring_fix_cet_auto check_event_trigger_auto unless $@
  def check_event_trigger_auto
    if @trigger == 2 and $game_temp.transition_processing
      return
    end
    transferring_fix_cet_auto
  end
end



[XP] Parallel process in the first map

Description

When you initialize a new game from the title things are loaded is that sequence:
1) Events with Parallel Process start working
2) Transition from Title Screen to the game (20 frames)
3) $game_map and all its things are loaded
4) Auto-start Events, map's music, etc. start working

The problem is, if you start a parallel process which uses something related to the map, $game_map was not loaded yet when it starts so the game crashes, and if you use an Auto-start to solve that, it starts when the transition was done so maybe it will look bad. Also if you use a script call with 'if $scene.is_a?(Scene_Map)' or you use a 'Wait x frames', to try to solve the problem.

Solution

I did an script for an engine of my game and by chance this fixes the problem, but the fix by LittleDrago is much more concise.
Put the script above main:

#==============================================================================

[XP] Screen animation to multiple sprites

Description

When a screen animation (position == 3) is shown to different sprites at the same time, it is displayed overlapping itself and it should be displayed just once.

[XP] Disabling skills State bug

Description

There's a type of states restriction which disables the usage of skills to the actor (usually used as the "silence" state). But it doesn't work in the menu because the variable restriction when disabling skills equals 1 and the Skills on menu is disabled when it equals >= 2 by default (so it's so easy, if you change that to >= 1 it will work well). But the problem is the next one: You can go to the Skills scene from an actor who has not the state and with Q / W change to another actor who has the state.

Solution

Put this LiTTleDRAgo's script above main:

#==============================================================================
# ** Scene_Menu
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  This class performs menu screen processing.
#==============================================================================
class Scene_Menu
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------

  # * Frame Update (when status window is active)
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def update_status(*args)
    if Input.trigger?(Input::C)
      case @command_window.index
      when 1  # skill
        restrict = $game_party.actors[@status_window.index].restriction >= 1
        return $game_system.se_play($data_system.buzzer_se) if restrict
        $game_system.se_play($data_system.decision_se)
        return $scene = Scene_Skill.new(@status_window.index)
      end
    end
    update_status_fix(*args)
  end
end

    return update_skill_lr(1)  if Input.trigger?(Input::R)

[XP] Enemy Action Regarding Skills

Description

If any enemy has the ability to use a skill, it will add it as a potential action it can make regardless if the enemy is even capable of using the skill in the first place (e.g. not enough SP, silenced, etc.).

Examples

Give an enemy the ability to do a normal attack and use a skill that requires SP. Make it so that the enemy has enough SP to only use the skill once. Make sure both actions have a similar priority. Go into battle and notice that the enemy sometimes skips their turn.

Solution

In Game_Enemy, find the method make_action and replace EVERYTHING below it with this:
  def make_action
    # Clear current action
    self.current_action.clear
    # If unable to move
    unless self.movable?
      # End Method
      return
    end
    # Extract current effective actions
    available_actions = []
    rating_max = 0
    for action in self.actions
      # Confirm can use skill
      if action.kind == 1 && !skill_can_use?(action.skill_id)
        next
      end
      # Confirm turn conditions
      n = $game_temp.battle_turn
      a = action.condition_turn_a
      b = action.condition_turn_b
      if (b == 0 and n != a) or
         (b > 0 and (n < 1 or n < a or n % b != a % b))
        next
      end
      # Confirm HP conditions
      if self.hp * 100.0 / self.maxhp > action.condition_hp
        next
      end
      # Confirm level conditions
      if $game_party.max_level < action.condition_level
        next
      end
      # Confirm switch conditions
      switch_id = action.condition_switch_id
      if switch_id > 0 and $game_switches[switch_id] == false
        next
      end
      # Add this action to applicable conditions
      available_actions.push(action)
      if action.rating > rating_max
        rating_max = action.rating
      end
    end
    # Calculate total with max rating value at 3 (exclude 0 or less)
    ratings_total = 0
    for action in available_actions
      if action.rating > rating_max - 3
        ratings_total += action.rating - (rating_max - 3)
      end
    end
    # If ratings total isn't 0
    if ratings_total > 0
      # Create random numbers
      value = rand(ratings_total)
      # Set things that correspond to created random numbers as current action
      for action in available_actions
        if action.rating > rating_max - 3
          if value < action.rating - (rating_max - 3)
            self.current_action.kind = action.kind
            self.current_action.basic = action.basic
            self.current_action.skill_id = action.skill_id
            self.current_action.decide_random_target_for_enemy
            return
          else
            value -= action.rating - (rating_max - 3)
          end
        end
      end
    end
  end
end



[XP][VX][VXA] Testing for File Existence in Encrypted Games

Description

Encrypted games cannot use methods like [tt]FileTest.exist?[/tt] or [tt]File.open[/tt].

Examples

If using RMXP, add
print FileTest.exist?("Data/Scripts.rxdata")
to the top of [tt]Main[/tt]. Encrypt your game. Then run the encrypted game. It should say false.

Solution

LiTTleDRAgo provided a work-around here: https://pastebin.com/krvZgfPj

I didn't know about the float thing, I think it can apply to a script I made where the animations seem to be off center when scrolling. Thanks for this, though I'm not sure I understand the collision one.

Is it something like teleporting from the edge of a mapA to the edge of another mapB, and activating the teleport on the other mapB causing an annoying loop of teleports?
If so, then thanks again because I had no idea that was a bug o.o

Wecoc

You are in coordinates [7, 6] and start a teleportation to another map, on new coordinates [3, 3].

There's a collision event on the second map, on coordinates [7, 6]. That event technically was not touched because your coordinates in the second map were always [3, 3], but the event is activated. That's the bug.

With the script, while the player is teleporting collision events can't be activated.

[XP] Screen animation to multiple sprites

Description

When a screen animation (position == 3) is shown to different sprites at the same time, it is displayed overlapping itself and it should be displayed just once.

Solution

It's a huge script for that little bug, I'm sorry.
Put the script above main:

module RPG
  class Sprite < ::Sprite
    def animation(animation, hit=true, show=true)
      dispose_animation
      @_animation = animation
      return if @_animation == nil
      @_animation_hit = hit
      @_animation_duration = @_animation.frame_max
      animation_name = @_animation.animation_name
      animation_hue = @_animation.animation_hue
      bitmap = RPG::Cache.animation(animation_name, animation_hue)
      if @@_reference_count.include?(bitmap)
        @@_reference_count[bitmap] += 1
      else
        @@_reference_count[bitmap] = 1
      end
      @_animation_sprites = []
      if @_animation.position != 3 or not @@_animations.include?(animation)

[XP] Parallel process in the first map

Description

When you initialize a new game from the title things are loaded is that sequence:
1) Events with Parallel Process start working
2) Transition from Title Screen to the game (20 frames)
3) $game_map and all its things are loaded
4) Auto-start Events, map's music, etc. start working

The problem is, if you start a parallel process which uses something related to the map, $game_map was not loaded yet when it starts so the game crashes, and if you use an Auto-start to solve that, it starts when the transition was done so maybe it will look bad. Also if you use a script call with 'if $scene.is_a?(Scene_Map)' or you use a 'Wait x frames', to try to solve the problem.

Solution

I did this script for an engine of my game and by chance this fixes the problem.
Put the script above main:

#==============================================================================

#  Esta clase almacena los datos temporales no incluidos en las partidas guardadas.

Wow, your fixes are waaay better, I will change my post.

First I thought it would be possible to apply the effect only on the first sprite but it was not, because the flash effects... so I changed all the animation methods to work only with the first sprite (only in that case) but without losing those effects.
I didn't thought about your mecanism. And I see you fixed the @battler_name = nil bug on the same script!

Well, thank you.

C'mon, I'm sure there are thousands of bugs and we have eight on the list!

I've fixed the bug before, but I don't have the script anymore. How about this one?

Create a troop. Put three enemies in there, make one Hidden. When you kill the other two, the battle is considered over even though the hidden is still there and fully alive. Even with a battle events, you can't make him re-appear unless enemies still exist. Example: You have a giant slime. Kill him, and two smaller slimes appear. logically, you'd just put a giant slime and two small slimes in a troop and make the small ones hidden.

[XP] Disabling skills State bug

Description

There's a type of states restriction which disables the usage of skills to the actor (usually used as the "silence" state). But it doesn't work in the menu because the variable restriction when disabling skills equals 1 and the Skills on menu is disabled when it equals >= 2 by default (so it's so easy, if you change that to >= 1 it will work well). But the problem is the next one: You can go to the Skills scene from an actor who has not the state and with Q / W change to another actor who has the state.

Solution

Put the script above main:
(I'm sure it can be shortened)

class Scene_Menu
 def update_status
   # If B button was pressed
   if Input.trigger?(Input::B)
     # Play cancel SE
     $game_system.se_play($data_system.cancel_se)
     # Make command window active
     @command_window.active = true
     @status_window.active = false
     @status_window.index = -1
     return
   end
   # If C button was pressed
   if Input.trigger?(Input::C)
     # Branch by command window cursor position
     case @command_window.index
     when 1  # skill
       # If this actor's action limit is 2 or more
       if $game_party.actors[@status_window.index].restriction >= 1 ## BUGFIX
         # Play buzzer SE
         $game_system.se_play($data_system.buzzer_se)
         return
       end
       # Play decision SE
       $game_system.se_play($data_system.decision_se)
       # Switch to skill screen
       $scene = Scene_Skill.new(@status_window.index)

game_guy: I wonder if it was really a bug, but this solves the problem:

class Scene_Battle
 alias hidden_fix_phase4_step1 update_phase4_step1 unless $@
 def update_phase4_step1
   troop = $game_troop.enemies
   if troop.all? {|enemy| (enemy.hidden == true or enemy.hp0?)}
     troop.collect {|enemy| enemy.hidden = false}
   end
   hidden_fix_phase4_step1
 end
end


LiTTleDRAgo: Thank you again, you are contributing a lot.

ForeverZer0

I don't think it really is a bug, but it does make it more difficult to do as GG described.
As it currently is, it can act as a mechanism for enemies who "escape", therefore allowing the battle to end, but not rewarding experience, etc. It would be more intuitive to have a @hidden flag, and a separate @escaped flag.
I am done scripting for RMXP. I will likely not offer support for even my own scripts anymore, but feel free to ask on the forum, there are plenty of other talented scripters that can help you.

G_G

It's not a bug I guess, but more of a design flaw.

it will automatically unhide all unescaped enemies when all visible enemies is defeated

Yes, that's actually quite perfect. Still would have been nice to been able to do a "When all enemies died" page condition inside the editor, though I suppose no one really thought of that over at Enterbrain.

xD Thanks Drago! I wasn't actually expecting you to do it. ;p

I'm not sure if it's a bug or not

when player is unarmed (barefisted), atk will became 0 regardless the enemy and player level

This should work, it's probably the easiest way.

class Game_Actor < Game_Battler
 
  attr_accessor :basic_atk
  attr_accessor :basic_animation_id
 
  alias no_weapon_fix_ini initialize unless $@
  def initialize(*args)
    no_weapon_fix_ini(*args)
    @basic_atk = 100
    @basic_animation_id = 4
  end

  def base_atk
    weapon = $data_weapons[@weapon_id]
    return weapon != nil ? weapon.atk : @basic_atk
  end
 
  def animation2_id
    weapon = $data_weapons[@weapon_id]
    return weapon != nil ? weapon.animation2_id : @basic_animation_id
  end
end


Another option I use in my game is not allowing actors to have no weapon.

Spoiler: ShowHide
A friend of mine some time ago did a code called 'ERON module' where each Actor had a specific (not directly used) Enemy which parameters were the actor basics without equip, and also each Enemy had a specific Actor so they were able to have equip, level... That solved this bug by far but I think the project was canceled. Anyway I have not permission to post it here, it was just an anecdote.

XP's Float Bug does have a solution.

It is based on the @real_x and @real_y using whole numbers, not @move_speed.  The trouble comes from @move_speed being used to calculate @real_x and @real_y exponentially.  2 ** X in Ruby means "to the power of", or an Exponent.  It comes from this line of code in def update_move.

    # Convert map coordinates from map move speed into move distance
   distance = 2 ** @move_speed


Move Speed 1: 2 ** 1 = 1
Move Speed 2: 2 ** 2 = 4
Move Speed 3: 2 ** 2 = 9
Move Speed 4: 2 ** 2 = 16
Move Speed 5: 2 ** 2 = 25
Move Speed 6: 2 ** 2 = 36

When the resulting value in the right column in the above example is not a whole number, it is still used to adjust @real_x and @real_y values as floats instead of whole numbers.  Lets say we wanted a Move Speed of 3.5.  It seems to be half way between 3 and 4.  But 2 ** 3.5 = 12.25, which is not a whole number.  Instead, pick a real value (x or y * 128) between 9 and 16 and get its square root, due to the exponent.  Lets say 12.  The square root of 12 is 3.46410161513775457705489268 and change.  But that is WAY too much for an average person to put in for @move_speed = 3.5.  Same problem occurs with a Move Speed of 4.5.  The square root of 4.5 would be 2.12132034 and change.  Again, too much for Joe Average, and the math has to be 100 accurate.

The code solution for this would be to just round the value to the next whole number.

Change
distance = 2 ** @move_speed
to
distance = (2 ** @move_speed).round


There is only 2 places where this code is used.  Game_Map and Game_Character.  Just CTRL+SHIFT+F for 2 **.

I discovered this while updating my Downhill Ice Deluxe [XP] script (not released at time of this post).

This was basically my try on this, but rounding the value has an obvious collateral problem; you lose "movement resolution"; 3.1 = 3.2, 3.4 = 3.5 ...

Here an example; these charas are walking (Move up) in frequence 6, and their speed is 3.0, 3.2, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.8 and 4.0
You can see the difference between rounding the value or not.

Spoiler: ShowHide


One possible fix for that would be to round only the player's distance, but the player would still have that lack of "movement resolution".

Someone said me rounding the distance also has some problems on camera if you are using a "smooth-movement" script, but sincerely I didn't check that.

The other possible way to fix this would be to work always with distances directly controlling it's integer instead of the speed as a float. Anyway, I don't like so much this idea...

The character I used on the first image: http://s9.postimg.org/7i2mp9hzv/character.png

==============================

Anyway, I think I already fixed this on my game some months ago, I didn't post it here because I'm not 100% sure but I'll tell what I found ;D
All this fixes try to fit the charas movement with the current screen movement, but the one which is delayed is the screen.

Once, on my game, I tried to display a bitmap layer or a picture over the map and scroll it via script call on parallel process to fit with the map (changing display_x and display_y). The result was laggy, and because of the 3.6 speed of the player, I had the same problem. It had nothing to do with character speed, so I decided to modificate the Game_Map converting to some sort of a smooth-movement script, but "not so smooth". The result is a map scroll practically identical as the default but the picture is displayed well and lag decreases. The annoying bug also disappears. The only problem is the new script is not perfect. For example, on diagonal movement the map is too slow now...

This is the script. I'm pretty sure correcting its bugs, we would fix the problem definitelly:
