[RMXP] Suppress errors

[Ellie]

I have a game which, some of the time, *will* error, due to a network connection.

I have added to main this:

begin

  # blah blah main script

rescue Exception => e

  $scene = Scene_Error.new(e.message)

end

I want, instead of showing an alert as usual saying there has been an error, to send the player to a scene which shows a nicely printed message. I've called this Scene_Error.

The problem is that while this successfully stops the error message, the game closes after the error anyway. I think RMXP is merely programmed to do this (print error then close).

Can I suppress this close so that I can display my scene?

Nothing will be shown in this scene other than a window with some text in (from e.message).

Here is my scene if it's needed:

class Scene_Error

  def initialize(message)

    @message = message

  end

  

  def main

    @help_window = Window_Help.new

    @help_window.set_text(@message)

    @help_window.y = 288

    

    Graphics.transition

    loop do

      Graphics.update

      @help_window.update

      if $scene != self

        break

      end

    end

    

    Graphics.freeze

    @help_window.dispose

  end

end

If you've wrapped the main loop with the exception handling then it would be exiting outside the scope of the main loop, could that be the problem with it closing?

Aha! Thanks, seems logical now. Yeah it's outside of the main loop and $game_system and everything is destroyed before it gets to the exception. Sorted, cheers.
