I just reinstalled rm2k3 a week ago into a 6gb hard drive and copyed all my projects into the new rm2k3folder from the one on my main hard drive.

When I started on my project again I added new monster graphics music etc. via the resource loder.

Then I began on reorganizing my monster group tab eracing all the unneeded monster groups that came with a fresh from scratch project (plains 1-3, sea1-3, colliseum 1-8, etc.).
I fixed some events here and there because I changed the monster group orientataion also fixing the monster groups on maps and boss battle events and such.

After all this, I test runned the game from the beginning of its story and on my world map after every event I trigger (Such as a warp point) I get a no-monster battle field and a victory song plays and I go back to the map I was on. No monsters no exp no nothing!

What did I do wrong? Does this have somthing to do with my events or is there a stray encounter rate handler set at zero thats causing this?

Or is this some corruption of my program and I have to start all over again?

Have any one encountered this problem where they get no monsters in their set encounters (area settings or otherwise) and they tried everything to fix it but failed?

Please someone offer a solution before I do somthing irreparable such as deleting my whole project.

I donīt really know but I guess that you had mosnter groups in teh random encounter or events that you then erased and therefore creating this problem, or the fact that you got some monsters that youīve deleted on monster groups can cause it too.

So try to find these missing monster groups or clear some mosnter groups from the list. And if you stll canīt find the missing one you might have to copy everything into another project

I do have huge space between my boss,miniboss/rare monsters, videogame character hunt, and hidden class event monster groupings on the database. Maybe thats it but I had it like this before I rearranged it.

My events are very old that could be it too, but do I really have to remake all the events from scratch?

Ok i have my maps in this order at start...
newgame>

intro map:
some dialogue teleport to start map>

Startmap step on a tile to start some more dialogue, attack animation, more dialogue from badguy this time, battle ensues

At this point it plays the battle theme from an old default setting (system tab) which I dont have set anymore. battle01 it was called. Then as the a battle starts i have dialogue from the monster and the party and tension rtp music plays by the playbgm command at 0 turns. The monster transforms into another monster at turn 1 and a remix of tension plays party then dies from his attacks and you come back to the map. More dialogue then you transport to the world map.
more dialogue then the world map theme plays. All events over and you have two of you left in the party.

World map:

You walk around and monsters appear as usual as long as its plains terrain.  

i walk into the forest terrain (i have seperate monstergroups for it set into respective areas) and as a battle is started nothing is on the battle field. This is where i seem to have my error but no error mesages are shown and i have an instant victory.

i am brought back to teh map as usual. every subsequent battle is blank after the blank forest encounter. yes i have monster battles set for it and yes it worked befoire i rearranged all the groups.

It it a) the battle in the intro that is refering to a song not in my system tab. b) map monster groups conflicting with area settings or c) some event elsewhere with 0 encounter rate seting set for that map only?

I donīt really know this either but it sounds like you have, while rearranged it you have removes/cleared somethings that was in use in teh geame before.
And it juts might be so simple that the name of the monster group is wrong, and that you havenīt removed it but you canīt seem to find it because it lacks a name.

And the song, try to find out if you have the song in your rpg folder and if not, inport it again.

And else than that I canīt really help you from here, never had that much problems that I couldnīt solve.

RPGMaker doesn't recognize monster groups by name, it regognizes them by order they are in the database, so it's very possible that, for example, you had  a map and two groups of monsters appearing in said map, "monster 1" and "monster 2".

Now, "monster 1" and "monster 2" were originnaly the first monster groups on the database(0001 and 0002) when you first created your maps. Now that you rearranged it, 0001 and 0002 are empty, but the maps/areas you're using ar still calling those groups.

The solution? Open you Map/area properties, and where it says "Enemy Encounters", delet everything. It will show up as blank probably, but that's because the name you gave to your empty monster groups are also blank. There are still monster groups there, they just don't have anything.

Yeah what he said, tried to make it easy to understand but I gues thatīs quite hard early in the morning...

I figured out my problem its everything that has to do with my hard drive it is not formatted my system folder is unacccessable in my project I have to format my drive but doing so will cause all my data to be deleted.

But before I do, I must copy the project to the hard drive and everything else as well. I have three projects and tons of other folders.

I hope this solves it since it may be a just one external cause... my game may still have these aforementioned problems even after I put back all the necesssary files. Wish me luck!

Oh by the way that song is in the music folder of the project.

Nope failed. any sugesstions now?

It was my map-wide ocean groups area it had blanks for monstergroups.
