I get this error when i press esc to enter the menu after selecting my character pieces in game

Developer

Hi there!

This is happening because the game is not finding the character named $gen_test_gen.png. Please, press F8/F12 when the error happens. Go to the console TAB and send me a screenshot of the error log there.

1 - Since this is a complex plugin, please first try it on the Sample project and make it work there. After you manage this, implement it in your project and see if it works.

2 - If you already did that, you will need to show me the steps you made to get there: Did you create added new piece files to create another generator? Did you use the generator that already comes with the sample project? Show me a screenshot of your plugin command, that you used to create the character and the one that you used to apply the Generated character into another one.

3 - Also, if you added the plugin on a current save that previously did not have the plugin it will not work. You need to start a new game when you first added this plugin to your project.

4 - I can also see that you are using other plugins, maybe this 3D plugin can also be a compatibility problem. If everything did not work, you can try disabling it to see if they have any compatibility problem.

If none of the above works, added me on discord: hakuenstudio and send me a project replicating the issue so i can take a look at the problem.

MZ3D isnt the problem as i tried it again after turning off that plugin and still had the same issue
i tried it in ur example, and i used an npc to test the opening of the generator, it sort of works, i dont get the error however the npc changes the appearance and not the player

I also just used your generator pieces instead of the one the game comes with as it is too much working trying to sort out the games generator pieces

- Ok then!

- The NPC is getting the generated character instead of the player because you are applying it to the NPC on the plugin command. On the Plugin Command, the Subject ID argument is being set to 0. To apply it to the player, the Subject ID must be -1. On the sample project there is an example of just that, like on the screenshot below:

Your plugin parameters seems ok!

Ok i was able to fix the error issue i needed a player sprite in the character folder which wasn't explained in the tutorial, I used the $reid sprite and renamed it $gen_player_gen which fixed the issue, though now  other issues have arisen.

first off, the generator ui does not fit the screen, there are tabs still left that cuts off from the UI, you can still select them but you cannot see them, anything after beast ears, you cannot see

second, even though i changed the appearance of the player in the generator, it even has the correct face when opening the menu, however it still has the reid actor on the map, so the walking sprite did not change to the correct character

also in your example it shows the random button in the generator screen however, in my one it does not show, even if i have those img files in the folder

- You don't need any of that, what you are doing is bypassing the error, but this will not fix the issue.

- This is not a plug and play. It requires a complex setup. You need to take a time to read the help file and the plugin parameters. On the plugin parameters are configurations to adjust the Windows Size and positions:

- That is strange, it should change everything. As I told you on the previous reply, add me on discord and send me this same project you are using that are causing all these errors, so I can take a look at it and see what is wrong. My discord is: hakuenstudio

Ok, will send you the link through discord
I think the ui is too large, changing the positions wont help, i think i need to shrink the ui down but i dont see any option to do that

"- You don't need any of that, what you are doing is bypassing the error, but this will not fix the issue."
how do i fix the issue if that isn't the solution?
