Failed to create bitmap.

[Kyou]

I recently purchased VX, and it's gone okay up until now.
I have a decent scripting knowledge, and I already know a little RGSS2.

But this isn't about scripting, which is why I placed it here.
(At least I think it has nothing to do with scripts.)

Okay, so I started a new Test Project with no scripts, and when I opened up my menu I got the following error when I tried the Status, Equips, and a few other options:

I got the error after I selected the starting character.

Yes, this is a brand new project, and I tried this with all of my current games, but I get the same thing.
I did not overwrite the VX RTP with any data, but I think the VX Program may have done that automatically somehow.  Not exactly sure though.

I tried searching this forum, and many others, but still no luck.  Anyone think they have a solution?
If I wasn't specific enough, let me know.

Usually that problem occurs when you pass 0s to the bitmap method.

Try this:

class Bitmap
  alias_method :seph_biterrortest_bit_init, :initialize
  def initialize(*args)
    p args
    seph_biterrortest_bit_init(*args)
  end
end

Alternatively, I've encountered a similar problem when you have two images with the same name in the same file.
Ex. Character.png and Character.psd. The program tries to load the psd instead of the png and errors.

 

[Kyou]

Neither of those two methods worked.
The script only brought up a bunch of messages and coordinates for each scene I entered.
And I don't have any files including the same name.

(The script still got me the same error, too.)

I'm beginning to think it's something with the RTP.
I will later try reinstalling it.

Edit:
Tried.  Failed.
Did the same thing with VX itself, still failed.  Good thing I wrote that serial down.

Bah, hopefully I didn't waste my money on that.

By the way, I proved it wasn't just my games that were screwing up by downloading somebody else's, same problem there too.

That's your answer right there! The images you are trying to load don't exist where you say they do. For a quick resolution create a demo of your project and I'll take a look at it.

 

[Kyou]

Here's A Test Project.
You didn't tell me to include anything, so I just pressed Ctrl N and created a demo.

 

[Kyou]

Bump.

So you have this same problem with the new project as well. I mean to say that any new project has this problem? How much RAM does your PC have? Does your machine meet the minimum requirements of the software?

 

[Kyou]

Of course my computer meets the requirements. lol
VX has been working for the first month.  It was not a trial version, but the legal, fully paid VX.

Yes, the problem occurs for any games: New projects, already created projects, and other users' projects.

Did you delete the graphics folder in the root directory?

 

[Kyou]

Nope, all folders are there.

 

[khmp]

Would you be willing to create a demo of one of your projects in order to better assist you in this problem? I am out of ideas currently.

how about installing your copy in a different machine? does it make any differences?
or your windows needs a reformat?

 

[boudragon]

sounds to me like 2 corrupt copy. if you havent already... try re-downloading rmvx. then uninstall the old one and install the freshly downloaded copy.

 

[Kyou]

Will do.  thanks.
I'll let you know how it works.
