Help with Marin Script Utilities Crash after New Game

[Marina]

Hello, I'm using RMXP Pokémon Essentials v.17.2 and Marin Script Utilities, I was play testing and when I clicked on F12 the load screen appeared and when I clicked on New Game, to start a new game, because my current save file has new events that I have to try on a new game, and when I clicked on New Game following Error appeared;

Spoiler: Error Marin Script Utilities when clicking F12 and New Game:

---------------------------

looks like oldrand calls itself time and time again ... can you post the function? I don't have Marins script.

Marin Script Utilities is not RGSSReset compliant.
Basically, when you hit F12 the RGSS reload every scripts so if a script contain something like this :

alias old_meth meth
def meth
    old_meth
    # do something else
end

When you hit F12, you'll basically be aliasing old_meth to old_meth which cause the RGSSReset.

You have three solution :
- Disable F12 if possible
- Remove the Marin Script Utilities
- Change the script loader to prevent RGSSReset from reloading all the script.

The third solution can be done like this :

# in the Main script where the scene_title is called
begin
  $scene = Scene_Title.new
  $scene.main while $scene
rescue Exception => e
  retry if e.message.empty? or e.class.to_s == 'Reset'
  raise
end

Obviously, since Essentials has a different boot sequence than basic RPG Maker XP project, you'll have to perform some adaptations.
