Error message with the Animated Parallax Addon

I just found the updated Orange Overlay post and downloaded the Animated Parallax Addon plugin. I installed the plugin but haven't tried setting it up yet, its activated and right beneath Orange Overlay but the first time I zone to a different map I get an error message:



The instructions are fairly simple and I don't see anything that might pertain to my problem unless I need to set up my parallax folder in a certain way.

Edit: Eh, nevermind. It seems it doesn't happen in a new game. I have some trouble shooting to do.

no troubleshooting needed - that is both the reason and the solution.

A lot of plugins define their values ONLY on "new game" and make all older savefiles incompatible. That is what the error message says - "this data is not yet defined", because it is only defined with a new game after installing the plugin.

So when you install a new plugin, all older savefiles become unusable (most of the time) and you need to start a new game. Which is the main reason why we always suggest to get your plugins installed before going playtesting and balancing.

I've done further narrowing down and it seems that the moghunter plugin command "clear_weather" is causing it. Even on a new game it happens. I thought that command was linked to the moghunter Mog_TimeSystem.js plugin but even when I turn it off the error still occurs, I have to delete the plugin command from any events on the map to get rid of the error.

Edit: Wait, I am just wondering... I read this on the OrangeOverlay - Animated Parallax Addon page:

Orange Overlay 1.1.4 - Plugin DL - (Updated 7July17)
With permission from Hudell and thanks to Chaucer for the plugin fix, here's an updated version of Orange Overlay. This version fixes the broken plugin commands people were experiencing when trying to change parallaxes via events.


Maybe this is what is happening? o_O

Even on a new game (and new project) with no other plugins than OrangeOverlay and Animated Parallax Addon when I use the plugin command "clear_weather" on a map I get the error.

Clear_Weather is linked to the "MOG_Weather_EX.js" so I guess there is some incompatibility between this plugin and the Animated Parallax Addon. But I don't understand because I started a new project and a new game with ONLY the OrangeOverlay and Animated Parallax Addon activated and when I made an event with the plugin command "clear_weather" I get the error.

Edit: Alright, apparently ANY nonsensical plugin command or even an empty plugin command with no type triggers this error when the Animated Parallax Addon plugin is active. So this plugin must be rendering the "clear_weather" command for MOG_Weather_EX.js as not recognizable?


Um, when I move the "animated addon" above OrangeOverlay in the editer load order the issue stops occuring, Are "addon" plugins that require abother plugin to work supposed to go above or below the primary plugin?
