Temporary workaround for PokΓ©mon Essentials based games
Added 2020-04-01 18:34:19 +0000 UTCHi everyone, as you know there some bugs on Pokemon Essentials based games. Probably the most common one is tilemap rendering issues. I want to give some detail about this issue.
Tilemap rendering issue usually occurs when a map uses tileset that bigger than OpenGL texture limit and unfortunately a lot of games do that. RPG Maker Plugin is based on MKXP which is an open source project. MKXP uses SDL_Surface struct to create mega surfaces which used for tileset bitmap as workaround but mega surfaces don't support operations except blitting to regular bitmap. Pokemon Essentials uses a custom tilemap class. This class uses unsupported operations to resize and blit tiles so some tiles aren't rendered as intended.
I'm working on this issue and I created a postload script to temporarily fix black tile bug on some Pokemon Essentials based games. This script overrides PokemonMapFactory class to disable seamless map transition and changes mapviewmode to original. I tested it on PokΓ©mon Clockwork and it seems working. You can copy the script to game folder to try it. This script will be executed after loading game scripts. Also you can create a script named preload.rb if you want to execute a script before loading other scripts.
I will add it to next build as an option and setbyte/getbyte functions will be fixed. If you have other issues, you can use comments.

Edit: Link updated with correct script

I copied the script to the game folder and still have the issue. Was I supposed to copy it into a certain folder or just the main Reborn one? I had the same problem with rejuvenation. Thank you so much for making this app!
