Map panorama showing up as just black?

I have no clue why, but for some reason my map panorama is just showing up as black. This is happening with RPG Maker XP with this panorama

I am useing an event as a parellel process to make the panorama appear.

Can anyone help please?
 
Perhaps the problem is the parallel process event? Normally, if you change the panorama with Change Map Settings, it should stay changed, without needing a parallel process event to keep changing it. (A parallel process event, if running, will keep re-running as long as the conditions are met. Gotta watch out for that.)

Well, I'm not using an event anymore. I did what you told me. But if you want to see it then sure.

I think this is what you wanted.... right? Sorry I'm a newb.

Change Map Settings:Panorama = '004-CloudSky01',0

That is what I had before in the event I was using to set the panorama for the map. I also had 2 other things in the same event controlling the screen tint and the fog, but im not sure if you want that too.

Post a screenshot. The Panorama shows up on the Blank tiles, so either out line them in the Play Test, or mark the blank tiles in some way(if they're a more natural color. I might be able to see the difference without marking. Just looking fer a hole! XD).

So the event that you used to trigger that change panorama command is in a parallel processing/auto trigger mode and not action-button or whatnot, right? If so, on your map, are there black tiles on the site or are they clear in the constructor?
 
God, the fact that you took out all the audio files and whatnot in that folder made it a pain to even load the game cause there are a billion req'ed files causing crashes.

But yeah, here's how to fix the problem:

Go to script editor, and go to the "Edits" below the SDK script. Ctrl-F for "update_panorama"; and erase that line and the next "end" line.
That blank function overwrites the one that actually does something. Where'd you get that "Edit" anyway? You should probably erase all the functions in there that has no codes, as each one overwrites something that does something.

Have fun. :~

Oops. sorry. lol. And the edits was from a message script I got. I just pretty much copied everything and didn't bother changing around much. Thanks for the heads up though.

As for the lines you told me to delete, it worked. Thank you!
