I accidentally posted this in scripting. Hopefully this is the right place for me to post this topic.

I'll try to make this short and sweet...basically, I am doing my "programming" and then testing as I go along to make sure everything is going right. I've downloaded a few BGMs to add some variety to my music score, and when I walked south of the town I created and I get into a battle, and the game starts playing one of the BGMs that it's not supposed to. I go to the "system" specs, and check that the battle music is set to "battle 1" my preferred battle music (it's really not too bad imo, not for a basic tune)

I've checked all of my "troops" sections, to make sure that none of them had any event pages which indicated a "change in BGM"

I even went as far as to delete this particular BGM that it is playing, and when I go tot playtest, the game crashes before the a battle can start saying: "unable to find file XXX" (with XXX indicating the file name)

Any help would be appreciated!

There could be a lot of possibilities, so I'll see if a scripter has anything to say. You could always attempt a new project and test out each script one by one until you find one that's causing the issue. Another problem could be maybe you used a transparent tile that's walkable over certain areas. Maybe try using a transparent tile that's not passable over tiles the character shouldn't walk on and see if that helps.

The strange thing is, is that this wasn't happening at first. At first, my character was stopped where he needed to be stopped. i.e. not being allowed to walk on X marked tiles. I am not sure if it's a scripting issue. However...I have picked up a few scripts, and implemented them, and when I realized it wasn't really going to fit my game, I deleted the scripts altogether.

I am loathe to start a new project because of all of my database building...enemies, troops, actors, skills...it took me a full day to get it just right. Is there any way to copy over a database? Not to mention, my starting area took me another day, with the events, chests, and all that...

I did try putting down a transparent/impassable tile over the area that my character could walk through, and he's still able to walk over all of it.

I might add, that I've downloaded a few BGMs from a reputable source (others have used this guy) I just placed the files in my BGM folder, by directly going into my enterbrain/audio/BGM folder, and that worked just fine. I had the BGMs in place for a while before all this crap started happening.

I might try and copy all of my events for the area I am having the issue with, and then redesign the area. (it's a cave/mine system) I'll put the events back in with copy/paste, and see if that fixes the issue.

Try not to double post. You can go back and edit previous posts if it has only been a short time since your last post. ~Shaddowval
