"filename is nil" error for a Pokémon sprite

[magnezoneFTW1]

Um hi, this error has stopped me from being able to play test. I'm using v16, and I have made custom sprites, and maps.

You really should be more detailed about what you did. Making new maps can in no way break your game, nor can adding new sprites. Did you remove or edit something?

I have made custom sprites

You've not made them all, have you? There's at least one missing, and it's the one the game is trying to use.

When you get the filename is nil error on the load screen, you have a missing icon for a pokemon in your party, usually from a save with a different project. You can separate the save file by renaming the project in RMXP (Game>Change Title...), or by going to your Saved Games folder and deleting Game.rxdata from the folder that has the name of your project.
