[RM2K3] [Event Scripting] Problem Combining Caterpillar System With Ramps (updated with code)

12/29/2015 09:37 PM

I've been using a caterpillar common event script in rm2k3, but I can't get it to work properly with a Ramp system I also use to add a 3d feel to my maps. I keep getting freezes at the end of a ramp with the followers stuck partway up the ramp, or the followers fail to even climb the ramp at all. Some attempts have resulted in the followers moving to tiles where they're not supposed to be able to stand, then moving to the main leader's location and causing another freeze. Does anyone know how to get my systems to work together? I really want to get this to work, for this is a project I've been working on for years, and I've grown sick of this glitch.

Here are the event scripts for controlling the three followers when moving in compass directions (as in, when not on slopes):

(Note: all are parallel processes)

As for the followers themselves, they are simple "touched by player" events that just swap places with the player when the player walks into them.

For the ramp system, I have 2 common events: one for a Northeast/Southwest ramp, and one for a Northwest/Southeast ramp:

Northeast/Southwest Ramp (Parallel Process, requires the switch "U-R/D-L Ramp" to be on):

As for the ramps on the map, they also have events: simple player touch events like these:

Getting on NE/SW Ramp:

@> Control Switches: [0993:U-R/D-L Ramp] = ON

Getting off NE/SW Ramp:

@> Control Switches: [0994:U-L/R-D Ramp] = OFF

Getting on NW/SE Ramp:

@> Control Switches: [0994:U-L/R-D Ramp] = ON

Getting off NW/SE Ramp:

@> Control Switches: [0994:U-L/R-D Ramp] = OFF

Please help me figure out what I'm doing wrong. I really want to blend these two systems together for an amazing experience for the player.

The official English 2k3 version is out!

OK... don't know where to post this so I'll post it here.

I got the official RPG Maker 2003, which I am happy for. What I am less happy is that it's apparently buggy.

Simply put, I installed the official RTP and when trying to make a new project and checking the new interface, the moment I clicked on the Battle Screen tab, I got the following error:

"A load violation of address 00000518 occured in address 00531E13 of module 'rpgmaker2003.exe'."

Note that this was through a newly created project, not one downloaded or produced using a different version from the official one.

Is there any particular reason for this kind of bug?

This sounds really strange to me. Please, the next time you get this error message, don't click OK, but do the following:
- Open task manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc)
- Go to advanced/details/processes (depends on your OS)
- Select RPG2003.exe and right-click it
- Choose "Dump"
- Wait a while, until a message box will tell you the dump file was created. It will also tell you the location of the file.
- Upload the file and send me the link via email or in a private message. Don't post it here because it might contain personal information such as your Windows username.
This way I can investigate what led to this error. Thanks!

I have a similar bug, but it happens when I open either the troops or battle screen tab. Is there a solution to this problem yet? Or should I provide information, as well? I have a really old project (yes, from before there was a legal overseas version, sadly) that once I found out there was a legal version at last, I decided to transfer to the legal version. With quite a few tweaks, I've gotten pretty much everything in working order for me to resume work on the project, but with both tabs making it impossible for me to do anything in them, I can't progress, and it would take to long to rebuild it from the ground up. And even if I did, what if the errors were still there? What would I do then? Please, I need to get rid of these stinking load violation errors so I can make my project finally be legit (I abandoned it years ago because I was tired of doing something illegal. But with it finally legal, I want to finish it, for I put a lot of thought into its design).

EDIT: I figured out what I'd done wrong. I can finally resume producing this old project!
