MCES - Error when Saving

[Barabian]

Split topic from XPA - KK20

I have a compatibility problem with the Nathmatt MCES script. The error occurs while saving the game: no marshall_dump is defined for class MCES::Msg_Sprite. I don't know what to do with it.

Did you confirm this isn't a problem in XP? Are you using other scripts that affect save data? I'll take a look later today.

Yes i am sure. I checked on a clean project, only XPA + Mouse Controller by Blizzard v2.3 + MCES v1.74

I am unable to reproduce the issue in both XP and XPA. Send me your Scripts.rxdata file.

Issue is caused by Game_Event having an instance variable containing a Sprite object. This Sprite is only created when the \msg[Name] command is used in MCES.

Overall, the script is poorly designed and should be rewritten. I managed to at least remove the instance variable from Game_Event and have Sprite_Character be solely responsible for it, as it should.

For whatever reason, CP screams at me for a hacking attempt when posting the script, so pastebin link it is...

Thanks. You're irreplaceable.
