Battle and Key Problems

[daoman89]

Today is just filled with glitches and problems.  Now the problem is my ESP key to bring up the menu and "back" etc doesn't work and also the battles seem to be slower and parts demand the ALT key to be pressed.  I don't know how this is happening.  I'm using RM2k3.  Thanks!!

Gonna need a bit more information. Did you mean ESC by ESP? There are event commands that disable the menu, if you are using this event command, make sure it is being turned back on properly. Battles may be slower if you're using a lot of battle events, there are many ways to reduce lag. to name a few real quick:
-eliminate unnecessary "else" conditions
-don't use "else" conditions all together unless they are absolutely needed. Adding an else condition in a conditional branch costs three extra ticks of processing power per else condition
-place 0.0 waits in between event commands
-check your loops/labels
-use labels, never use loops. Loops take up more processing power and are never needed. You're also more likely to run the risk of infinite loops.
-use parallel process/auto events sparingly. You should only ever need one or two active parallel processes and only ever one auto event, if any.

Hopefully that helps you a bit. As for the alt key, as far as I'm aware, the alt key can't be used in any rpgmaker, so I'm not sure what the problem is there.

yeah ESC lol my bad i always screw that up.  It's like the battle messages need me to OK them before it can continue.  I don't know how this started though...  Hmmmmm

Are you using message boxes? I'm pretty sure a lot of the codes like "\!, \^" don't work properly. I could be wrong.

[daoman89]

Nope.  The ESC doesn't work outside of battle either.

Weird, that shouldn't happen, haha. I don't know man. Maybe post a link to your game? See if I can replicate that.
