    I recently upgraded my project to v20.1

    When I open the menu, it stays up when I try to close it. I can move around but the sprites stay on screen

    I tried removing a couple plugins to see if that was the problem but when I compile plugins, it still appears despite the files no longer being in my project folder

    Also, 3 of the plugins I downloaded aren't showing in the compiler

    Someone please help. It's starting to piss me off
     
    Lets do some basic troubleshooting first, since I didn't have this problem when updating my game.

    First, make sure you installed/updated correctly. Never hurts to double check.
    Next, start a new game to see if the problems persist. Usually when there is a big update to scripts, you have to start a new game.

    Do any of the plugins you have installed/did have installed effect the menus (ie. Custom UI, graphics), or did you have custom scripts in your game that did? This could be the cause of the problem if you did.

    Finally, if none of that helps, try downloading/extracting a fresh Pokemon Essentials V20.1 and look for differences in the codes, particularly around UI_Party and UI_PauseMenu.


    As for your plugins, a possible reason you might not see them comply is that plugins for v20 need an additional line in the meta text doc (Essentials = 20.1), and if they are an older plugin, they probably don't have this line. However, just because a plugin complies, doesn't mean it is compatible with V20 or V20.1, so be careful when updating older plugins.
