I'm having a graphical error. It's probably with a script but I do not know what is causing it.
(http://img682.imageshack.us/img682/6904/screenshotproblem.th.png) (http://img682.imageshack.us/i/screenshotproblem.png/)
Scripts I'm using(Not in order):
ToA
UMS
ATES
CP Save Layout
Element Attack Armours
The Modified Ccoa's AWS
G_G's Quest log
HoT DoT
CP Debug System
Minkoff's Animated Battlers
The Advanced Shop Status Window
And a slightly modified Scene_Menu to show the game's time instead of the play time, and to go to quests instead of saving.(I use save points instead).
Post your exact script order.
I doubt it'll be the modified Scene_Menu, since theyre simple edits (unless you went seriously wrong somewhere)
Try taking out a script at a time to see what the deal is?
There's the script order

I would suggest taking out the UMS and weather system and playtest (back it up first obviously) and see if the error happens again, or POSSIBLY the add-ons at the bottom there.
Do them seperately and itll show which script is causing it.
Hm... Try putting the quest log under the save system.
No effect. It seems that it is not disposing of the sprites before the menu is called, correct?
Ok, can you tell me what exactly is the error?
It's possible that for some reason one of the scripts use a map background. If the sprites wouldn't be disposed automatically, they would stay in the menu for a moment and then disappear.
in that case youll need to place some .dispose things in Scene_Menu somewhere, or whatever script is the custom menu system. So if you have something like Scene_Something.new, you'll have to add:
@scene_whatever = Scene_Whatever.new
then later on:
@scene_whatever.dispose
(or possibly @spriteset.dispose)
I dont know whats in the scripts, I havnt looked through them. And I'm assuming you dont know how to script :P but I think Blizz will beat me to it anyway XD
EDIT: Does the script hang like that or can you still exit/select options?
I can exit/select options, the events and actor train just stays on wqithout disposing. They don't just stay for a few seconds, I could have it on for thirty minutes and it would still be there. And every time I enter the menu they are still there and it happens again. But the map scene is just fine...and I'm just leatning how to script.
Right in that case, make a demo (or a small playtest), zip it with WinRAR, and upload to MediaFire or some other upload site, and post the URL here.
Ill download, playtest, and see if I can figure out the scripts.
DONT make a game file, just zip your project, and I'll look at it tnight if you upload it soon :)
One of the scripts probably creates an instance of Spriteset_Map during the map scene.
*nods* I was gonna flick through the scripts and attempt to solve it, will be good for my amatuer skills, but if you solve it before me Blizz, let me know XD
Ok I uploaded a project with just the map and I forgot to assign a graphic to the player so you'll have put one on first. Sorry about my forgetfulness.

No worries, give me a while to sort it out, might even be tomorrow when I repost (its almost 11PM over here)
All right. Thanks for helping.
Alright, problem solved (I surprised myself with how quick I did this ^_^)
Go to your custom *Scene_Menu
Go to line 55 and change this:
@status_window.y = 0
# Execute transition
Graphics.transition
# Main loop
loop {
# Update game screen
Graphics.update
# Update input information
Input.update
# Frame update
update
# Abort loop if screen is changed
if $scene != self
break
end
}
# Prepare for transition
Graphics.freeze
# Dispose of windows
@command_window.dispose
@time_window.dispose
@location_window.dispose
@gold_window.dispose
@status_window.dispose
end
to this:
@status_window.y = 0
@spriteset = Spriteset_Map.new
# Execute transition
Graphics.transition
# Main loop
loop {
# Update game screen
Graphics.update
# Update input information
Input.update
# Frame update
update
# Abort loop if screen is changed
if $scene != self
break
end
}
# Prepare for transition
Graphics.freeze
# Dispose of windows
@command_window.dispose
@time_window.dispose
@location_window.dispose
@gold_window.dispose
@status_window.dispose
@spriteset.dispose
end
For some reason the lines "@spriteset = Spriteset_Map.new" and "@spriteset.dispose" werent included to dispose of and refresh the background window, so rather than refreshing nicely, it was just overlaying the images with a certain transparency (25% by the looks of things, it had four different frames every time I paused).
I'm assuming its either part of the UMC, or your own edit, but its only that simple fix ^_^ works fine for me now :D.
Thanks! That works. Now I can focus on more important things, like plot!
No worries, just change the topic title to [RESOLVED].
And feel free to throw me a level ;)
I gave you one for solving it so quickly
Haha arigatou ^_^
Need any more script help, PM me and let me know :)
Will do.
