Animated Battlers Script Error - Need help, Moving pictures and getting battle error makes no sense >_< Options

[Yuu-Mon Musuedo]

I been using Jet's script that you can get here:

http://www.rpgmakervxace.net/topic/500-animated-battlers/

And I run into a odd problem. I keep getting a error: "Script 'Animated Battlers' line 248: RGSSError occurred. Failed to create bitmap" Within his script. But what I am doing has nothing to do with battle script at all.

All I'm doing is showing 3 pictures and moving them on a map, and within 3 seconds of doing that, I get that error. Which hurts my head because it has nothing to do with the battle system. The battle system itself works fine, encounter on the map works fine. I just don't know what moving pictures on a map that doesn't use scripts makes the battle script gets an error.

I tried to get a answer on their forms and PM but nothing. They locked their thread. I figure if someone on here with script knowledge could figure out what's going on or can tweak it so I can keep my 3 moving pictures and not get a error with the battle system.

I would say try putting it at the very bottom of your scripts or at the very top. I have some exp with this system so if this doesn't work tell me your scripts that feature battle, menu, and party.

[Yuu-Mon Musuedo]

No, that doesn't work. That was one of the things I tried to do to fix it.

[Kaleb Daub]

Then what scripts are the other script you use?

[Yuu-Mon Musuedo]

This is what I use. I use a few battle addon but many has been tested to work along side most battle system script with no problem.

[Show/Hide] Scripts

Ignoring the Jump Labels, and looking at what I highlight, is where I get the error. When "Move Picture: 4 & 3" starts moving for four seconds. I get a error all of a sudden with Jet's animated battle script. I have also tried this on his demo, and I get the same error.

[Show/Hide] Event that gets a error

[Night_Runner]

I can fix the code so that it shouldn't produce that error,

CODE

#===============================================================================
# Animated Battlers
# By Jet10985 (Jet)
#===============================================================================
# This script will allow the use of spritesheets to represent enemies and actors
# inside the battle scene.
# This script has: 14 customization options.
#===============================================================================
# Overwritten Methods:
# None
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Aliased methods:
# Cache: load_bitmap
# Game_Battler: initialize, on_damage

# Sprite_Battler: initialize, update, update_origin, start_effect,
#   revert_to_normal
# Sprite: update
#===============================================================================
=begin
If you need to set up a custom animated sprite for a specific actor or enemy,
you need to use these inside the character's notebox:

<anim battler: name> (This sets the name of the animated spritesheet to use)

The above is the only needed notetag to use a custom spritesheet, but if you
need to go against default configuration below as well, you may use these:

<anim speed: speed> (This sets the speed at which the animation changes frames)
<anim frames: frames> (This sets how many frames there are in a single row)
<anim rows: rows> (This sets how many rows there are in the spritesheet)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Byd efault, all states except being dead will set the row to be the one
set for :state, but if you need a state which does not change the current row,
use this in the state's notebox:

<anim no pose>
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To have an enemy follow the opposite of the below FLIP_ENEMIES config, use this
notetag:

<anim flip>

Putting this in an actor's notebox will always cause the actor's sprite to be
flipped.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can change an enemy's attack animation by using this notetag:

<atk anim: id>
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you need to have a special sheet for when the character is a specific class,
use this tag in the class notebox:

<anim suffix: suffix>

This will make the script look for whatever their default sheet would be,
but with suffix at the end. So if the tag was <anim suffix: _paladin> and the
base sheet was "Jimmy", the script would look for "Jimmy_paladin"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you need to have a specific row for when the character has a specific state,
use this tag in the state notebox:

<anim row: row>

This will make it so if this state is inflicted, the character's row will be
that of whatever the row is in the notetag.
If multiple states have a notetag, and are inflicted, the state with the highest
"Display Priority" will be used.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
By default, this is what the POSE_ROWS configuration correlates to in choosing
which row of the spritesheet to show. This uses a format which Holder uses in
their animated battlers by default, and this is taken directly from them:

1. Idle - Waiting.
2. Defend - Guarding.
3. Woozy - Under status effect. (Also low hp value)
4. Struck - Being hit. (Taking damage)
5. Attack - Striking the target.
6. Item - Using an item.
7. Skill - Using a technique.
8. Magic - Casting a spell.
9. Advance - Moving forward.
10. Retreat - Moving away. (From target or fleeing from battle)
11. Victory - Battle end.
12. Enter - Battle start.
13. Dead - Corpse. (Dead-dood-ded)
14. Credits - Information about the graphic. (Not shown in game)

But I can't get it to reproduce that error that you've been seeing.

If that change doesn't fix it I would have to ask for a demo of your game, showing the error.

It works! So far I'm not getting any error no more. I'm able to have the event go just normal. Thank you guys, you been a great help.

[Kaleb Daub]

Leave to the mods to always get the job done. Hope you don't get anymore errors.
