rm2k - where's my random encounters?

[ZombieDon]

What a way to spend a first post - ANYways, I like the look of this place so time to pose my problem:

I dug out an RPG I started on in rm2k and abandoned. Since starting on it, I've noticed the random encounters aren't working, on either one of the maps where they used to be. Last I recall they worked perfectly. I've gone as far as deleting custom monsters from the db (using only the default ones), and removing one of my more complicated event maps. I honestly can't see why my encounters aren't working, as my older save of the project as well as the new one I started both operate fine as far as battles.

If I need to give more info, or if anyone might know the snag I'm caught on, please do let me know. Thanks in advance!

maybe its coz youre encounter rate is low?

[ZombieDon]

I tested it out with everything from a 1-step rate to a 10-step. Even set up a new map. Not certain what happened, as all the switches seem to be off.

Did You choose a monster group?

If you want heck of encounters, set it low.

For less set it high.

Try it.

Yep, got the groups set up. Just experimenting with the default ones. I've checked against other projects, and there's no difference in any of the settings for battles - add groups to map properties, set encounter rate, save and testplay - nothing ever happens, I just wander the map forever. Just... weird.
