Weird Loaded Saved Game Glitch

[Cassandrainbows]

Everything works fine when i start a new game (Except Daily Life TimeHUD)

But if i load a saved game, the equip menu crashes and so does the battle system...
Daily Life TimeHUD seems unfixable.

I'm just writing out my thoughts as a reminder for myself, so I know what trail to pursue next time I come back to this.

I think I see the, or a, problem with the multi slot scripts and why attacking bugs out in a loaded game.
There's a variable that is initialized on a new game, but either isn't written-to or read-from the save file. So when the game loads the variable is null, and it bugs out because it doesn't know what to do in that situation.

There are a few approaches I could take to fix it.
There is a method call that'll to fix it. I could add it in somewhere after loading the game to make sure it works. Although I don't understand why the variable isn't saved. Like, maybe it was never meant to be part of the save data in the first place, and was a huge oversight on the creator's part. Or it could be something else, I'd have to study it more.

If variables are set to null, that might explain why the Daily Life script would load games as night screen. Maybe defaulting to a night setting in the presence of a null variable. Just a theory.

I should test the scripts in a separate projects to see if they do that on their own. But i can't believe whoever made them wouldn't have save/loaded a game in the process of testing them.

That's interesting...
I have a theory for the save cancer, since in my project folder theres 40.sav files, but those aren't saved games, when i save a game that .sav file becomes an rxdata file and then the game is saved and registered/loadable, would this method of .sav to .rxdata thing be the cause of it? And if so, what script is doing this? Is it in the Moonpearl scripts?

This is my theory, perhaps both are the problem?

I just talked with the other guy that had save/load related bugs.
The solution/problem was that there were too many save methods. and things were loading out of order.
Something about "the magic number" which is how the system knows if changes have been made to the project after creating a save files.

So they just removed all the save/load methods down to 1.

You have something like 3 scripts with identical save/load functions. At least, I thought they looked identical. I'll have to take a closer look. Prune them down to 1, and see it the problem persists.

I'm not sure. I thought I ruled out the MP scripts by taking them all out.
And the multi-slot system works fine by itself.

I tried deleting all but one of the read/write methods. but i'm still getting null variables.

Hmm not bad you seem to actually be on to something, thanks alot for trying, making these scripts is worth it, one day you might play my game.

i am certain you'll end up finding the issue(s)

Bump...this issue is killing ME D:

Could it be in this?

I believe that part of Multi-Slot ''Other'' has something to do with the error.

Guess my project is to be buried to the sand then :/
