Hello all,

I am having an issue that I've seen reported a few times with Yanfly's Equip Core, and it changing the default equipment of actors.

Within my database, my characters have no default accessories equipped:

However, when I recruit them into my party, they do:

I've tried turning on/off every single plugin, and was able to determine it was due to Yanfly's equip core. I've had this issue in the past. I remedied it by removing the plugin in question, redownloading it, and reinstalling it. However, after trying that again, the issue comes back, even with a fresh download.

Does anyone have any idea why this happens? And if there is anything that I can do to correct it? If there is nothing, at the very least, I know each item that each actor starts with, and I can remove it via a script. But I'm not a fan of treating a symptom instead of the cause.

Thanks in advance.

Found this potential explanation from Yanfly below:
Most likely, this is due to your Actors.json file not having the right and proper information. I'm going to guess that you've made changes to the database by either removing all the items then making more, or changing a class's equipment types. MV has a bug where it doesn't update the .json file properly upon these changes for your actors, which makes them equip this phantom data. What I suggest for you to do is to give your characters equipment in each slot, save the game, run it, then exit the game, and in the database, remove those types manually to update the .json file.

And I can confirm upon checking my Actor.json file:

That this seems to be the case.

Attempting Yanfly's solution now.

Edit: Huzzah. Yanfly's solution fixed it. Glad to put this plaguing issue to rest finally. Will report thread to have it closed. Hopefully this can help someone else in the future.
