I figured something like that would happen lol, always worth a try
I'll have a look into it and see if I can come up with something...
EDIT: wow...you have a lot of scripts lol
anyway, I don't think I know quite enough about scripting yet to really find the root of your problem, so I guess you'll have to wait till fantasist comes back, was definitely worth a look though...
seriously, lots of scripts

[Fantasist]

I'm downloading the script but are you absolutely positive that the error showed up after you changed what I said? It could be totally something else. I'll see what I can do anyway.

no i just get another error... and if it gets the error on .name wont it happen on .class... .hp and the rest?

But if .name was called first, RMXP stops evaluating any code after that and shows an error.

EDIT:

Okay. You need to add these lines to the script you posted in page 1 (the Game_Player stuff, Seph's event text script). Just after

class Game_Player < Game_Character

add these lines:

  # Player_Color: Constant used in refresh method
  Player_Color = Color.new(128, 128, 255)
  
  # Player_Name: Check the refresh method after the comment 'Determines Text'.
  #                      Change it here accordingly if needed.
  Player_Text = 'Name'

Basically, Player Text is not defined, or it does not have any valye when it's being used. You just need to define the constants.

If you get a syntax error in the same script (I got one), just comment out the very last "end".

THE ERRORS NEVER END!!!  :angry:

lol

I didn't get any error, did you change/add anything else? Because I've tested that code in the above post in the Scripts.rxdata file you gave me and I got no error... I guess this is beyond my power now (-_-)'

EDIT: Wait, when did you get this error? I'm guessing just after you go into a map (new game or load game). Did this error occur even before you tried my script?

[jcsnider]

Right after you choose your character and click on play when it sends u to the map it now gives me that error

[Fantasist]

Okay, i'm starting to get more and more confused. I don't know if that error occured even before you used my code, but here's one blind guess of mine. Remember this script:

class Game_Player
  
  attr_accessor :character_name, :character_hue
  
  def refresh
    @opacity, @blend_type = 255, 0
  end
  
end

The first line: class Game_Player

Change it to class Game_Player < Game_Character
