Click Here for the Answer! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How to fix the "Script 'Battle_Camera' line 300: NoMethodError occurred. undefined method '*' for nil:NilClass" error: This error will most likely occur if you are using Ver. 099 of Tankentai as the Battle Camera script remains separated in that one. At any rate, to fix this error, simply Specify your Battleback. To do this, right click on the map containing the battle and select MAP PROPERTIES, then check the box that says SPECIFY BATTLEBACK and then set it to your desired battleback. Do this for every map that contains a battle. If you are using Ver. 100, the error may look like this: Script Sideview line 3452: NoMethodError occured undefined method * for nil:Nilclass: If this is the case, don't worry, the fix is still the same! So get to specifying those Battlebacks! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How to fix the "Script 'Sideview' line 1517: NoMethodError occured undefined method 'frame_max' for nil:NilClass" error: This error occurs when you have not properly copied and pasted the animations.rvdata2 file from Tankentai's Data folder into YOUR PROJECT's Data folder. If you are using Ver. 100 of Tankentai for Ace, this method will not work. Instead, you need to use Ver. 099's animations.rvdata2 file. Here is a link to where you can download only this file for use in solving this error: Click Here to Download the Ver. 099 animations.rvdata2 File! But I COPIED and REPLACED the file in my own project and I still receive this error every time someone uses magic or a skill! What do I do? Don't give up! There is still hope! You can try VenomTDA's method of solving this error.

When I make my character with the new weapon type attack, it doesn't move at all. Is there a way to fix this? Click Here for the Answer! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What happened to my battle transitions? Why does it just cut to a battle instead of fading and such? There are two solutions to this: A) Eliminate the last script out of the Tankentai for Ace line-up (only recommended if you are using Ver. 099) or Remove this section from the テストプレイ高速化 script or the last script of the Tankentai Engine: #-------------------------------------------------------------------------- # ◠戦闘å‰ãƒˆãƒ©ãƒ³ã‚¸ã‚·ãƒ§ãƒ³å®Ÿè¡Œ #-------------------------------------------------------------------------- def perform_battle_transition Graphics.transition(2, "Graphics/System/BattleStart", 100) Graphics.freeze end Once it is removed, your battle transitions should be back to normal.
