Beware: RPG Maker Files Can Crash Your Game – A Comedy of Vector Errors!
In the world of RPG Maker 2000/2003, untrusted LCF data can cause a chaotic domino effect known as std::length_error. Attempting to resize a vector with a negative count is like asking a tiny clown car to fit an entire circus. Spoiler: it doesn’t end well.
Hot Take:
Who knew that a simple RPG Maker file could become a weapon of mass destruction for your CPU? It’s like giving a toddler a chainsaw and hoping for the best. Brace yourself, tech enthusiasts, because it seems like the RPG world just discovered a new way to crash your party, literally!
Key Points:
