Summary

Let me know if this is in the wrong area. I have a script that is meant to create an overlay for maps, but whenever I compress and encrypt the game, it doesn't include the necessary file containing the overlays. It was suggested that I find someone capable of making a patch, if it's even possible. So, is there anyone who can help me with this? Or tell me if it's even a problem with this script? Thank you.

# -- Last Updated: 2011.12.29

# ▼ Updates
# =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
# 2011.12.29 - Bugfix for transfer.
# 2011.12.10 - Started and Finished Script.
#
#==============================================================================
# ▼ Introduction
# =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
# This script based on Hanzo Kimura's idea. This will automatically load map's
# overlay by map ID, and a map can have more than one image per layer, so you
# don't have to create two or more map just for day/night or when an event occur.
#
#==============================================================================
# ▼ Instructions
# =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
# Create a folder in Graphics and name it Overlay.
# Put all of your overlay into Graphics/Overlay.
# Your overlay file will have the name: "Filename Prefix" + Map-ID + "-" + Number
# which "Filename Prefix" is the one you will config below
# Map-ID is your map's ID
# Number is 1, 2, 3, ... using for Overlay Variables.
#
# Example: Graphics/Overlay/ground2-1.png
# Which means this will be ground layer, for map 2, variable = 1
#
# Light/Shadow must be .jpg
# Parallax/Ground must be .png

Edit: Here is where I got the script:

I'm very unfamiliar with scripting, so if anyone is interested in hand-holding a complete nub like myself, you have my gratitude.
