It's because you changed tilesets on your map, and currently, your map tries to load tiles that don't exist.

So many people get this error, I wonder if this script shouldn't be natively inside Essentials.

I think it's within the debug menu. Debug > Other Options > Fix Tilemaps

Oh right!

Btw, thanks for helping others on the forum, I am not the only helper anymore ^^
(A few others inconstantly help too)

My bad in terms of clarification the idea is like. It's already included, however, new users still need the information of 'this is the location and how to activate'.

Eventually, there's likely to be perhaps an FAQ or frequent issue somewhere. Or some kind of way in which a new user can easily spot "That's my issue too!" before posting, and it'll direct them to that information. i.e. 'Map don't work? Seeing this error? Try this first!'

Easier said than done, I know. huhu

At the moment, haha. It's just quite coincidental that a lot new users are having this issue, which is a positive in sense of the amount of new users trying Essentials/RMxp. They're taking the time to try something new, kudos for sure.
