  • Since the codes keep getting messed up, here is a attachment of my Spriteset_Map:
    It should work for those who are getting the syntax error.

    YO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    You'd better be active to answer my question, since i changed my script with the OP's script and yours when i go outside the default Essential's house there's just a black screen, also when i load my previous save file which is in Pallet Town i cannot move even if i can see the shadows, what have i done wrong? I even had saved my original script and when i reverted it back to the original essentials script i still can't move, wtf happened?

    Calm down!

    Have you tried new game? what version of essentials are you using? check if the map exists or not or got deleted.

    I guess i overdid it.
    Welp, yes my save file is in *Lappet Town so when i load up i can't walk move or do ANYTHING (literally-cant even open the menu) and when i new game, everything is fine inside the house, no shadows, but when i try to exit the room the screen freezes black :(
    EDIT : I use the latest v13

    Replace your script.rxdata in your data folder with the orignal essentials script.rxdata and then replace spriteset_map again with the script i attached.

    Also make sure you have shadow graphics in Pictures folder named as "shadow"

    There is no script.rxdata, but instead a Scripts.rxdata and how do i get the original one (sorry I am pretty new to Essentials and RGSS as a whole), do i have to extract the Essentials folder again then get it? Also i do have the graphic but i named it Shadow, does that make a difference? I don't think it does because as i said i can see the shadows when i load my save file but can do nothing else. Also if this helps, the music runs as normal and it's the only thing that does run.

    Yes replace the Scripts.rxdata of your game from data folder with the orignal Scripts.rxdata file from pokemon essentials,

    Just PM if you still get error, ok?

    Seems like o deleted the zip file if there was one, can you possibly upload if you have it. Slow net sorry. If not, then i'll have to spend hour+ for downloading it.

  • I am not having any black screen error using my attachment, hassan probably messed his script file,either way he has to replace his script file with the original essentials script for the shadow script to work, btw hassan are you sure you used my attachment script or the old script?

    @bowlstir looking foward to that idea xD

  • I tried this out, and after multiple attempts it worked, but the shadows were off centered.

    Plus, all my events had the same problem but those where more far off.

    I'm using the V13, may have to do with my size of the events, but I'm pretty much abandoning this idea :/

    You aren't using a 256x256 character set, this has already been addressed previously.

    Hello mustafa, I need your help.

    I tried your Spriteset_map but now there are shadows on every event.
    What can I do?

    Thank you.
