[shell coral]

I must have redownloaded the game at least 5 times at this point, I'm on the newest version and it takes forever to load into a new zone.

[vernal sluice]

This happens when i use fly on my Classic mode save

[manic wigeon]

Does anyone have any idea of how to fix my problem in my previous posts or no I’m sorry for being impatient I just haven’t got any responses to fix my problem that happened yesterday and I’m getting worried. So please can someone help me with this 🙇🏻‍♀️

[hot flicker]

have you tried extracting the game again?

[hot flicker]

use the alternate launcher.exe

[stoic sigil]

Try using the alternate launcher

[hot flicker]

lawl

no you can't apply the patch over it. Anything past 5.0 the developer wants you to download a fresh new game

[turbid terrace]

Hey @hot flicker! Are yo having trouble downloading the game? You can find the download of the game in #downloads! To run it, simple unzip all of the files into a folder, then click the .exe file. Be mindful that the game takes a few minutes to load, don't touch the black window before it does!

[elfin ruin]

Anyone know Whts good with this from Wht I read online seems I might b done for

[hot flicker]

Yeah sadly :[ Your save is corrupted

[elfin ruin]

Damn so ggs ig?

Wht happened did I install the sprites wrong or something?

[sudden depot]

So I wanted to try the new functionnality that lets the game automatically download the missing custom sprites. For that, I deleted the custom Venusaur / Voltorb from my files and launched the game. Sadly it still looked like this. When does the game download sprites ? I assuming only frogman can answer this question but I don't want to disturb them

[hot flicker]

generally it is when the game closes mid save

[river ridge]

I don't even know how to install it even tho I'm hide the pain Harold (real)

[hot flicker]

Did you try deleting that sprite? Those are only downloaded if it can't find a custom one

[elfin ruin]

Hate to see it I had a fire squad

[manic wigeon]

What do you mean by that?

[sudden depot]

that's literally what I said

[hot flicker]

extract a fresh game

[hot flicker]

CUSTOM. You said CUSTOM. I am talking about that sprite that is NOT A CUSTOM

[sudden depot]

you think it only downloads when the generated sprite is missing ?

That'd be weird

[manic wigeon]

Won’t I lose all my progress or am I misunderstanding you

[hot flicker]

It downloads sprites when you need them. If it can't find a custom sprite it downloads the original fused NON CUSTOM SPRITE

[sudden depot]

Oh

[hot flicker]

No your save is kept else where. You can have 50 games on your computer and they use the same save

[sudden depot]

I thought it could be used to update your custom sprites instead of having to download the pack

Ok then, thx

[manic wigeon]

How do I do that do you mean downloading and extracting everything again

[hot flicker]

You don't understand. The game downloads sprites when a pokemon pops up. It looks at the server, thumbs through all the customs, if it can't find a custom sprite it pulls the ugly original sprite. It does go through all the new sprites available but only if a human has put that custom sprite into the server to where you can download it. I am guessing someone didn't put that custom sprite into the server for you to download from

[turbid terrace]

Hey @hot flicker! Are you trying to add more custom sprites to your game? You can find the most up to date sprite pack containing all custom sprites in #downloads! To add them to your game, simply copy all the files into your game's CustomBattlers folder. The pack also contains alts and things such as joke sprites and regional variants, which you can also add to your game if you wish.

You can swap between alts of a given fusion in-game, using the Pokédex!

[hot flicker]

Yes. That's what I mean

[sudden depot]

Ok so it works as I thought and the sprite is just missing

[manic wigeon]

Do I put it in the same folder or a different one

[hot flicker]

exactly. But you need to delete the ugly sprite for it to look again

[hot flicker]

completely new one

[sudden depot]

Well I already have the venusaur / voltorb so I won't have to delete the ugly one. Thanks for the answer

[manic wigeon]

Thank yo I’ll try that and tell you if it works

[chilly kayak]

Did you make sure to enable "download sprites" in the options menu?

[sudden depot]

yes

i double checked

Oh, weird

it worked this time

I deleted venuorb, checked again to see if "download sprite" was on (it was), opened the PC and the sprite was here (and sure enough I had the venusaur custom folder open and saw the sprite getting added)

Ok got it this time

It doesn't download when you check the summary from your party

...and it didn't download in my pc too this time i guess that's because the japeal sprite was already loaded ?

the option is on

And this time I checked the PC first and it didn't download... Seems pretty inconsistent

[gritty ravine]

Hey guys I’m having o problem with a side quest, the building materials, I forgot to complete it before I complete the game, now I can’t find the guy to give the materials

[loud fox]

hi guys I'm currently facing this issue anyone how to fix it?

[keen dragon]

i have the same problem, what can i do to fix it / play to the game without crashing ?

[tawny narwhal]

i have the same issue, i redownloaded the latest version and it still doesn't work.

[dreamy blade]

I have a problem, I completely randomised everything. After getting strenght and surf they werent in my inventory. I tried debugging etc etc but I still dont have it. Any ideas if I somehow can get the hms or smth?

[final rivet]

So for some reason my Azu/Slaking's stats rolled down to what I'm presuming are lvl 1 stats. Anyone know whats causing this?

[tall holly]

I forget the reason, but if you beat a mon with this dude his stats should go back to normal

[whole osprey]

After defeating the fuschia gym i didnt get the talk with lance and the battle with my rival, what happened?

[hoary solstice]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[safe quail]

Yea replace

[hoary solstice]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[safe quail]

Wiki is outdated, that doesn't happen anymore

[whole osprey]

Oh, i was following this playthrough and they had this encounter but it is dated from 2021 thank you

[winged surge]

Um

Help

Been like this for 2days

[safe quail]

Corrupted save bud

[winged surge]

What do I do -_-

[safe quail]

Delete save

[winged surge]

U h

[woeful idol]

the IMMEDIATE blow-up

[safe quail]

Probably delete game files and do a fresh install too

[winged surge]

I deleted the original 5.0 file and downloaded the new version

[woeful idol]

any clue what's going on?

[safe quail]

This is before the battle, right

[woeful idol]

yea

when he's done talking that happens

[winged surge]

How do you know its corrupted

[safe quail]

Check the first pin

[woeful idol]

oh yes also version is 4.9.2

[safe quail]

Uhh I don't know 4.9.2 exactly, but it looks like the script had trouble initializing the battle, but I'm not sure what the

Exact error is

It says it couldn't find the trainer data

[woeful idol]

that's unfortunate

[stoic sigil]

This game is great for learning to make a habit of creating backups 🙃

[woeful idol]

well i'll try and install fresh

[safe quail]

But I'm not sure why not

Or what u would need to change to fix that

[winged surge]

And how do I make sure my file aren’t corrupted the next Time I play its only been a week it Could happen again

[woeful idol]

i'll redownload and try again, i got the thing off pokécommunity so that's probably very outdated

[safe quail]

Maybe, current version is 5.1.2.4

[stoic sigil]

See #downloads

[safe quail]

But if ur on Mac I think that 4.9.2 is the most recent compatible-ish version

[woeful idol]

i am thankfully not

[safe quail]

U can't ensure anything but generally if ur playing on a new install and don't mess with the files there should be no issues

Taking ur save from 5.0 to 5.1 might have not worked for some reason

Maybe u were in a spot that changed between versions

[stoic sigil]

To add to this, I recommend simply making periodic backups, at least before patching. Simply go to the save file location (linked in the game files) and copy the contents somewhere else. I like to add a date to the end of the filename

[winged surge]

So um

[safe quail]

Do u know where u had last saved

[winged surge]

I think it was at like saffron

U asking thé location or-

[safe quail]

Saffron had some story beats change so if u were like exactly in the president's room of silph co there may have been some flags that didn't know what to do

But otherwise I can't think of anything

[winged surge]

Dam

Which file do I delete

File A rx
Game rx

[safe quail]

have u deleted anything yet

[winged surge]

No

[safe quail]

If u had kept ur previous install I could have suggested moving out into the main city, if ur in silph co

But u said u deleted those game files right

[winged surge]

I copy file A and game rx ?

[winged surge]

Not but I cant lauch the game

[safe quail]

Wait so u have ur 5.0 install and that doesn't launch either?

[cobalt nexus]

this is probably one of the most common questions here, but why are there a bunch of sprites in my Custom battler folder after launching. thought they would all be gone?

[winged surge]

5.0 didnt work so I deleted and downloaded the newest

[stoic sigil]

Copy File A.rxdata
(but if this one's already corrupted, start doing this with a working one)

[safe quail]

Bidoofs are called .PNG when they're supposed to be called .png

[winged surge]

Ans that didnt work

[cobalt nexus]

tried changing them but they auto caps, classic bidoof move

[safe quail]

So if u don't wanna give up on this save file, u can try redownloading 5.0 and see if that lets u in

I'm mostly asking for science than anything directly helpful to u at this point tho

[stoic sigil]

Here you go:
#tech-support message

[cobalt nexus]

thank you ❤️

[winged surge]

Idk which one I download there is two in the trash and one is 5x bigger

Weird

[safe quail]

If u don't wanna go through the hassle for a slim chance of fixing things then u can ignore me and just delete ur saves and stuff

[winged surge]

I’ll try

[stoic sigil]

Side note: A fun thing about Windows file explorer when renaming an extension; it does work manually, like you probably tried, but you don't see it change until you move out of the folder and back

[winged surge]

But I cant lauch thé game if I have 5.1.2 installed I think

[safe quail]

Having 5.1.2 installed doesn't matter as long as ur launching from 5.0

Assuming ur save file isn't corrupted for 5.0

Which it might be

[cobalt nexus]

yeah it's worked. Thanks for the brief and clear instructions 🙂

[winged surge]

5.0 didnt work

[cobalt nexus]

gonna drop this to my buddy who is no doubt having the same issue lol

[safe quail]

ok that's the end of my line of thought then

[winged surge]

The download is still at 0%
I dont think I can download

[safe quail]

O u mean the download didn't work

?

[winged surge]

5.0 Im trying to recover its not downloading at all

[safe quail]

yeah fetching things from the recycle can be inconsistent

I'd probs take a fresh install, it's still in the mega in older versions

[stoic sigil]

No problem! I've been trying to get the tutorial pinned via #discord-suggestions, but no luck so far so I just try to keep an eye on this channel

[winged surge]

I already fresh installed 5.1.2

[safe quail]

Yea I'm asking u to fresh install 5.0 as well

[cobalt nexus]

definitely worth getting it pinned if anyone who is able to do that sees these messages!

[winged surge]

Oh wait

It zipped

[safe quail]

wym

[winged surge]

I pressed recover in the trash bin and it zipped it

[safe quail]

Was it not zipped in the recycle

[winged surge]

No

[safe quail]

Well that's weird but if it recovered that's fine, u should be able to extract it from the zip

[vast prairie]

help?

[winged surge]

Now I News to extract

Need*

Gonna take so long

Probably for nothing

[safe quail]

Probably

[safe quail]

This is an error with the game checking for No Levels Mode

Idk how to fix it but 5.1.1.1 should be able to run just fine

[winged surge]

This sucks

I dont wanna restart the whole game if my file is going to get corrupted again

[safe quail]

If the issue is presumed to be that the save didn't transfer properly, it should be resolved when u start a new save in the most current version

[winged surge]

Well it got corrupted out of no where

I had good pokemon

[autumn horizon]

does anybody have a solution for the script 'Main' line thing?

[golden compass]

anyone know if there';s a work around to download game? Mega wont let me download for free lol

[lucid wolf]

my game has a lot of places that have black background (visible npc and items), is there a fix?

im on 5.1.2.4

[safe quail]

Supposedly battling an NPC fixes it temporarily but idk a permanent solution

[echo mantle]

with the sprite pack do i put the entire folder into custom battlers?

[safe quail]

No u ctrl+A the sprites and copy them into the custombattlers folder

[echo mantle]

thank you

[lucid wolf]

yes battling fixes it, but what if the area has no battle?

[turbid cradle]

how to fix this ?

[safe quail]

Uh

There's a pin about green lines

But idk ab allat

[safe quail]

yeah idk

It looks to me like the game is having trouble loading in textures from the graphics folder so smth may have messed up during extraction but idk

[lucid wolf]

i tried both winrar and 7zip

both have the same problem

[stoic sigil]

Looks like an RPG Maker -related bug to me

[lucid wolf]

ah maybe i dont have the specific rpg maker version for this?

i've played tons of rpg maker game but maybe i missed one?

[safe quail]

I don't think u need to it should've come with the game

[stoic sigil]

That's not how it works. The game is just made in RPG Maker

[safe quail]

Or rather yea

[lucid wolf]

i see

[safe quail]

Everything the game needs to run comes with the game

Is what I meant

Like u don't need Unreal engine to run Unreal engine games

[lucid wolf]

is it ever my system locale?

[stoic sigil]

What I mean by this is that it may be out of the creators' hands

[lucid wolf]

a lot of rpgmaker games need a specific system locale so it maybe that

[stoic sigil]

I guess the transition trigger tiles would still exist so you could try blindly navigating to one and see if a transition fixes it too

[lucid wolf]

no transition doesnt work

for example if i exit a pokemon center in a city and suddenly it turns black then going back into the pokemon center would not do any good

[stoic sigil]

I guess you could use the transitions to navigate to an area with a trainer battle

[lucid wolf]

funny enough different door has different results

but the problem then becomes i have to reenter multiple doors multiple times

and that is obviously is not fun

[stoic sigil]

This gives me an idea inspired by issues I ran into when developing a tool for the game today; Maybe make sure that the path to the game location doesn't contain any folders with names with spaces in them, for example. Most likely not the cause, but just a thought and a precaution

[lucid wolf]

i'll try changing my locale then, it's japanese atm

[stoic sigil]

Considering that RPG Maker is of Japanese make, I find it hard to imagine the locale being the issue

[stiff carbon]

Hi everyone! I’m struggling to get modern mode working - can anyone help please?

[stoic sigil]

But I guess it's worth a shot

[stiff carbon]

I can’t find any resources online (other than to start again after having a save file, which I’ve done)

[lucid wolf]

actually after reading your explanation a second time i have an idea to move the game folder somewhere else that isnt in any folder

[stoic sigil]

Try things around, but make a backup of your saves, just in case

In my experience the game doesn't like getting moved around, so prepare to re-extract if necessary

[safe quail]

This is usually what u have to do, what version u on

[stiff carbon]

4.9.2

[safe quail]

Reading some guides, modern mode was disabled for a brief period of time and I'm not sure when that was

I think it was exactly 5.0

So if u start a new save, get a starter, save, then go to main menu and start a new game, u should be able to start modern mode

[stiff carbon]

Okay I didn’t get as far as getting a starter - will try that! Thank you! 🙂

[errant mortar]

I'm using the lite version currently but have been noticing quite long pauses when loading the world after battles, how can this be fixed

[hollow minnow]

Question, Im using the latest version of the game and whenever I evolve or fuse certain pokemon, the game slows down, or its harder to use the PC Box, im unsure of what this problem could be ;;

[stiff carbon]

okay I tried and it still didnt work

[safe quail]

Idk ab anything before 5.1.1.1 sorry, idk what would be stopping u from accessing it

[stiff carbon]

Yeah it’s weird:( everything I’ve read says you need to use 4.9 (which I can’t find anywhere, only 4.9.2) and there’s absolutely no other info. I thought lots of people were playing modern mode from the talk online but I guess not

[safe quail]

U can play them in 5.1+

[stiff carbon]

I did also try it before on the latest version and that didn’t work either but I can try it again!

[safe quail]

Might've been the same issue with not getting a starter

[stiff carbon]

So the discord FAQ hasn’t been updated I guess? Am I looking in the wrong places for this info?

[stiff carbon]

Yes I will try that again!

[safe quail]

Most of our resources appear to be from 5.0.36

[wraith oar]

no idea if this is the right place to ask, but can i add all the sprites from the custom folder without issues? or do i have to pick and choose?

[stoic sigil]

Try turning off the sprite downloading feature and see if the hitches stop

[stoic sigil]

Yes you can, just put the image files directly into CustomBattlers

[hollow minnow]

That’s in the settings in game right?

[stiff carbon]

i think i remember someone else mentioning this issue - my game crashes when the first rival fight starts?

[stoic sigil]

Some will be left over due to various file-specific issues, but e.g. this tutorial will help with the most glaring one
#tech-support message

[stoic sigil]

Yes

Also try restarting the game if it doesn't immediately have an effect

[hollow minnow]

Okay! Thank you!

[stiff carbon]

I got a “script error” message I think lol I clicked through it by mistake

[safe quail]

Yeah I've seen that issue a few times, altho the exact details seem to be diff in each instance

Idk what the issue really is or how to solve it

[vernal quiver]

i still have some sprites that aren't working

i wanna try redownloading a fresh copy of all the aprites into the indexed but im not sure how to do it

[rapid sail]

When I try to download the game on my phone, the download stops and closes my browser when it's about halfway through.
Any suggestions on what the issue might be?

[turbid terrace]

Hey @rapid sail! The game isn't made to be played on mobile! You can try to use Joiplay to run it, but the game will likely be very slow, glitchy, or downright unplayable.

You can try following this guide: https://youtu.be/jADyChlJbF0

Nothing can likely be done about issues experienced on mobile, unfortunately. You can ask for help in the video's comments section if you'd like.

No dedicated mobile version of IF will be developed in the future.

[safe quail]

If you paste the sprites into the custombattlers folder while your indexed folder is formatted properly, the game should autosort them into the index where they should go. Are there particular sprites that aren't working? And how are they not working?'

[vernal quiver]

yeah, i've opened the game already and seen this

the one that isn't working rn is raichu machoke ( not showing up)

once im done importing i'll open the game

ok they're there now

i probably just didn't have all the sprites

[safe quail]

ok

[glad comet]

it appears I'm missing some sprites?

[safe quail]

That may be the case

[glad comet]

I'm not sure how ti fix it though

[safe quail]

Are u on windows and what version .zip did u download from the mega?

[glad comet]

windows, 5.1.2.4 full and the patch

[safe quail]

Why did u download the full and the patch?

So right now what I'm noticing is that the error says it can't find "...Battlers//8...," which is invalid, so it looks like a typo in the request itself

[glad comet]

I downloaded the full which only had the alternative launcher which didn't work

[safe quail]

It should have had both launchers, but the alternate launcher can look like it's not working if u don't know what it does

Can I see ur main game folder

[safe quail]

Pokemon Infinite Fusion.exe is the main game launcher

[glad comet]

yeah the same thing is happening on the main launcher

[safe quail]

That's fine

When is this occurring

The traceback says intro screen?

[glad comet]

yeah

right after the gengar and nidoran fuse

[safe quail]

The issue seems to be within the function to automatically download sprites that u may be missing

Is it possible for u to mash past the intro and the title screen and enter the save select menu before anything fuses?

[glad comet]

let me try

well it's now stuck

[safe quail]

Interesting

[glad comet]

I can change the keybindings

but I can't get past this screen

[safe quail]

How long has it been stuck

[glad comet]

umm for like 4 minutes

could it just be loading?

[safe quail]

It may be

If it stays stuck for a couple more minutes, I'll consider it frozen

However, I am noticing that u are also missing RGSS100J.dll in ur main game files

Among some other less important files

That may be necessary for the game to run, so download it from the pins in this channel and add it to ur main game folder

[pure edge]

quick question...
is there any particular reason why loading out of battles and buildings might take a few minutes other than maybe my laptop might be too slow for the game?

[safe quail]

Are u running the light or non-light version of the game

[pure edge]

there's a light version?

oof, lol

[safe quail]

There was a light version added with 5.1.2.0

However

It has increased load times, not decreased

The download size is light because the game will attempt to download sprites when they are requested, which increases load times

[pure edge]

i think i got the regular one

[safe quail]

If u are not on the light version of the game, u can try launching the game from the alternate launcher. If u are on 5.1.2.0+, u can also try turning off the Download Sprites option in settings

[pure edge]

oki

i'll try that, thx

[safe quail]

U may also consider patching the game to the most recent version, 5.1.2.4

[pure edge]

like i said, it may ultimately be i just have a slow laptop ^-^'

[prime locust]

I dont know if i should post this in tech support or game help, but i need to ask if im installing the custom sprites correctly?

[safe quail]

It may be, but I don't believe the game to be incredibly taxing

U are not

U need to ctrl+A and copy the sprites within the sprite pack, then paste them into the custombattlers folder in the graphics folder of the main game files

[prime locust]

Oki thanks

[glad comet]

aight it's definitely just slowly loading as staryu got color and is very slowly inching across the screen

[safe quail]

Well, that's arguably progress

If u are able to get into the save select screen, go to options and turn off download sprites

Or if this is ur first time running, it may ask u on or off when u enter that screen

[pure edge]

alternative launcher seems to have fixed the loading issue

[safe quail]

Nice

[pure edge]

tysm for ur help~

[glad comet]

^tysm

[safe quail]

Does this mean ur good?

[glad comet]

i think -_-

[safe quail]

Ok, let me know if smth else goes wrong. U added that RGSS dll right?

[glad comet]

yes

[safe quail]

Nice

[glad comet]

nvm it crashed 😭

[teal pelican]

Hey, I dont know why but I sometimes crash always with the same error message.

[lucid wolf]

ok so i've found out that im missing a file in the savefile folder

[stoic sigil]

This image sent me on a bug hunt and I think I found quite a sizeable oversight (but a common one) in the new sprite downloading code

[glad comet]

oh boy

[safe quail]

Which file would u be missing

[lucid wolf]

game.rxdata

[safe quail]

Game.rxdata is an outdated file that is not necessary to run current versions of the game

[lucid wolf]

huh then why do i still get the random black background

[safe quail]

There is an error that asks for Game.rxdata but I don't remember when that becomes an issue and idk what the solution would be

[silent osprey]

hey, the "game download link" on this wiki page is fishy https://infinitefusion.fandom.com/wiki/Pokémon_Fusion

[safe quail]

I should be able to edit that out rq, altho I don't know if whoever put it there is monitoring it

[silent osprey]

yeah it just gets you to one of "those" ad sites, sometimes NSFW

[safe quail]

I'm not able to remove it bc the url triggers the wiki's spam filter lol

Thanks guys

[silent osprey]

oops haha

[safe quail]

I found the user and they've posted the same link in a few other pages a few days ago

[wooden owl]

everytime i try to start a new file this is happening

[safe quail]

Are u always trying to start a randomizer?

[wooden owl]

yeah im trying to start a randomizer, ive previously had save files on a diff version

do i need to wipe my save files

from prev ver

[safe quail]

What version were u on

[wooden owl]

5.1.1.1

now im on the most recent

[safe quail]

I updated from 5.1.1.1 to 5.1.2.3 and 5.1.2.4 without any issue

So it's not an issue with the update itself

[wooden owl]

also it could be the "light" version

[safe quail]

Did u do a fresh download instead of patching ur game?

[wooden owl]

i turned off wifi tho to make sure it wouldnt bug

[untold mountain]

how i can download game? i can't download from mega

[turbid terrace]

Hey @untold mountain! Are yo having trouble downloading the game? You can find the download of the game in #downloads! To run it, simple unzip all of the files into a folder, then click the .exe file. Be mindful that the game takes a few minutes to load, don't touch the black window before it does!

[safe quail]

Find the mediafire link in Xillo's bio

[light slate]

my save file isnt saved in documents or roaming??

[safe quail]

Is it functioning?

[light slate]

yes i can play the game but i want to find it so i can tranfer my save from my laptop to pc

[wooden owl]

yeah randomizer doesntw anna cooperate

[safe quail]

can u answer this

[safe quail]

So u don't know where ur save file is located

What version u on?

[light slate]

the newest

started playing today

[safe quail]

And the file is not in Roaming > infinitefusion

[light slate]

nope the folder is empty only the keybinds file is there

[safe quail]

Have u created a save

[light slate]

yeah

[safe quail]

What was the last thing u did

[light slate]

and it doesnt end up there

[light slate]

i installed the game created a save and started playing thats it

[safe quail]

U may need to play until u get a starter and save afterwards

[light slate]

i did

am at route 3 after brocks gym

[safe quail]

that's what I was asking

If u start a new save and get a starter and save, does it save to the proper location?

[light slate]

no

[safe quail]

That was quick, have u already checked?

[light slate]

yeah i skipped intro but and saved after the first rival fight but still not saved in roaming

[safe quail]

I see

Where did u download from

[light slate]

the pokemon forum

https://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=347883

here

[safe quail]

So u downloaded Version 5.1 from the mega

[light slate]

yeah

[safe quail]

Can I see ur main game folder

[safe quail]

Does the savefile shortcut lead to the proper location?

[light slate]

yeah

but its empty

[safe quail]

If u check the readme, u can find the pre-5.0 save file path. Can u check if that file path exists?

[light slate]

i already checked the documents/savedgames/infinteinfusion folder but its not there

[safe quail]

According to the readme, it shouldn't be in documents

[light slate]

still empty

[safe quail]

Well at this point the only thing I could suggest to find the save is to search for either Game.rxdata or File A.rxdata

I have no idea what to expect it in if u can't find it in the correct locations, so the only surefire way to find it is to search the entire PC

[light slate]

ok ill try that

[calm steeple]

Hi, my game keeps crashing everytime I try to fuse a pokemon

[light slate]

i finally found it. It was saved at my school users roaming path

[safe quail]

Interesting, is that user the owner of the file?

[safe quail]

Do u get an error

[calm steeple]

it freezes mostly

[light slate]

it switched windows users i guess

[calm steeple]

like it won't move at all

[safe quail]

Are u on windows and what version .zip did u download from the mega?

[calm steeple]

I am on windows and on 5.1.2

[tranquil anvil]

getting this in lt surge gym, any suggestions?

[safe quail]

Did u download the light or non-light version of the game

[calm steeple]

I belive non-light

[safe quail]

U can try launching from the alt launcher and turning off the download sprites option in the settings

[stoic sigil]

114.5.png is not an available custom sprite. Have you been trying to use an image of your own? If not, are you using the lite or the full version?

[tranquil anvil]

No i haven't used an image of my own, and how do you tell if you're playing the full or light version?

[stoic sigil]

Which one did you download? Or are you on an older version?

[tranquil anvil]

I went to the main website and clcked and downloaded version 5.1

i went to the mega website then downloaded the game from there

then unzipped and launched

[safe quail]

There are multiple .zips on that mega

Which one did u unzip

[tranquil anvil]

full zip

at first i didnt know what i was doing so i downloaded everything in the mega files but then i deletd them all and downloaded the full zip

i think that couldve retroactivity messed up my game

[safe quail]

If u are playing on the non-light version of the game, u can try to turn off the download sprite setting in options and see if the game stops trying to load an image that doesn't exist

[tranquil anvil]

how do you deterime if youre on the light version or not?

[safe quail]

The .zip will say light

[tranquil anvil]

okay im on the full

[safe quail]

infinitefusion_light_5.1.2.4_full.zip is the full name of that folder

[tranquil anvil]

this is my folder
ive turned off the setting so i will try it now again to tets

[safe quail]

If ur folder says infinitefusion_5.1.2.4-full.zip, it's the non-light version

Yea ur good

[calm steeple]

that didn't work

[safe quail]

And u don't get an error message when u try to fuse?

[tranquil anvil]

yeah that didnt seem to work

[calm steeple]

it freezes, that it

[safe quail]

Can u give me a step-by-step process on how u are trying to fuse?

[safe quail]

In ur case it appears that the game recognizes a file that doesn't/shouldn't exist, rather than attempting to find a file that doesn't exist, which is new to me

[calm steeple]

using a dna splicers I try and fuse my hitmolee and Poilwhirl or both of them I try and fuse them to beedrill

[safe quail]

Have u fused before

[calm steeple]

yes

[stoic sigil]

Close the game and delete the file pointed to by your error message, i.e. Graphics\CustomBattlers\indexed\114\114.5.png (actually send it here first if it exists, I'm interested in what it is). Make sure what you're deleting is in CustomBattlers, NOT Battlers

[safe quail]

Often when people encounter problems fusing, it is either because the game cannot find the sprite of the new fusion, or because they are trying to fuse with a mon they are in the middle of moving, or they are trying to fuse using the last pokemon in their party

[safe quail]

Without an error message it is hard to diagnose specifics

[tranquil anvil]

this is what it is

[calm steeple]

I tried fusing two random pokemon in my pc and it still freezes

[tranquil anvil]

its my charmelon tanglela

[calm steeple]

the only one that works is Rattatta and Rattatta

[stoic sigil]

Yeah that's a broken image. Must have thought it found a custom sprite download and downloaded garbage. Probably a bug in the download functionality (it's new). Gonna take note

Delete it and make sure a respective file exists in Battlers\

[tranquil anvil]

what do you mean by a respective file (im dumb sorry)

[stoic sigil]

Should be good to go then, could even turn the download option back on

[safe quail]

At what point during the fusion process does the game freeze

Is it when u are selecting a sprite or after u select a sprite and the game attempts to fuse them?

[calm steeple]

after I select the second pokemon

[safe quail]

Are u given the prompt to confirm the fusion?

[calm steeple]

no, it freezes and doesn't show me the two options

[stoic sigil]

Don't worry. What I mean is that Graphics\Battlers contains the autogen (non-custom) sprites, while Graphics\CustomBattlers contains custom sprites. So you need to have sprites in at least the Battlers folder or you'll crash, so make sure a 114.5.png exists in Battlers cause you had to delete the one in CustomBattlers

[safe quail]

Do u know where to find the sprite for an example fusion that is not working?

[calm steeple]

no

[tranquil anvil]

alright thanks, so im good to delete the file now?

[safe quail]

dex hitmonlee

[turbid terrace]

Hitmonlee's IF Pokédex number is 106!

[safe quail]

dex poliwhirl

[turbid terrace]

Poliwhirl's IF Pokédex number is 61!

[stoic sigil]

Yes, the one in CustomBattlers

[untold mountain]

its my laptop slow or this game is so huge???

[stoic sigil]

Images are slow to decompress, and there are thousands

[safe quail]

In the instance of fusing hitmonlee (pokemon 1) with poliwhirl (pokemon 2), the file should located at graphics > custombattlers > indexed > 61 > 61.106

My extraction took about 1.5hrs

It's also worth mentioning that the images themselves do not decompress very much, they are about the same size in the .zip as they are when unzipped

[tranquil anvil]

alright there is one now in battlers, thanks for taking the time to help, i appreciate it

[thick kraken]

mine took like an hour, maybe a lil less

[untold mountain]

that 19% is 1.5h

so my laptop slow...

[thick kraken]

it just depends upon specs, yeh

[stoic sigil]

I assume "now" was a typo? It should be the autogen one in there (don't move the broken image there)

[tranquil anvil]

yes mb xD, it autogenerated the correct sprite

[safe quail]

@calm steeple I forgot a folder in the file path whoops, I have fixed it

[stoic sigil]

Okay good 😄 Should be good to go. Remember to turn the download option back on if you want, or don't if you're traumatized

[safe quail]

If the sprite is there and ur index is intact then I have nothing to go on regarding why the game would be freezing

[tranquil anvil]

Oh alright

[stoic sigil]

Let me know if it works

[tranquil anvil]

YAY IT WORKS NOW

THANK YOU!

[calm steeple]

Its there

idk why, thanks for your help

that sounded rude

[safe quail]

ur fine

[calm steeple]

I actaully thankful for your help

[tranquil anvil]

does anyone how to put the custom sprites into the game?

[turbid terrace]

Hey @tranquil anvil! Are you trying to add more custom sprites to your game? You can find the most up to date sprite pack containing all custom sprites in #downloads! To add them to your game, simply copy all the files into your game's CustomBattlers folder. The pack also contains alts and things such as joke sprites and regional variants, which you can also add to your game if you wish.

You can swap between alts of a given fusion in-game, using the Pokédex!

[stoic sigil]

Like the bot said, go to #downloads, get the 1-87 pack which has everything, unextract and copy/move the sprite files directly to Graphics\CustomBattlers\

[sterile pivot]

Anyone know why this is happening on a fresh download?

Most recent full download from the links

Just deleted the old and redownloaded a fresh one but this problem is still happening

[stoic sigil]

How old was the previous version? It seems to be reporting an incompatible save file

[sterile pivot]

Old one was 5.0 I think

[calm steeple]

it also does give me RGSS script stopped working @safe quail

[turbid terrace]

Hey @calm steeple! Are you having trouble starting the game? If you are launching v5, and your screen is stuck on black at startup, don't worry, it's normal. Leave the game running for a few minutes and it will work eventually.

Do not click on the window during this, otherwise you'll get the error below and the game will close.
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/308392115338084360/994274889055875142/Capture.PNG

[sterile pivot]

I'm fine deleting the old save if that's what I gotta do to have this boot up

[wooden owl]

Errors i had in the Light version are not present in the full version of the latest patch!

[sterile pivot]

Just don't know how to go about doing that

[stoic sigil]

You could try running migrate_older_savefile_to_5_0.bat in the game's files first, though it most likely won't help if your previous version was already 5.0

[sterile pivot]

I was planning to start a fresh run anyway

[stoic sigil]

If it doesn't help, go to Savefile in the game's folder and move everything in there somewhere, you don't have to delete them right away

[safe quail]

We can try some things with this

[stoic sigil]

But you can delete them if you really don't care

[safe quail]

Can I see ur main game folder

[sterile pivot]

I'll give that a shot

[sterile pivot]

Yeah that fixed it thanks

[safe quail]

U can try moving it out of ur downloads folder

Move it onto ur desktop

[calm steeple]

Ok alright

When I went to discord for a sec after it froze I got this

[safe quail]

Yea, that's an expected bug

[wooden owl]

RGSS? Roasted Garlic Summer Sausage

[turbid terrace]

Hey @wooden owl! Are you having trouble starting the game? If you are launching v5, and your screen is stuck on black at startup, don't worry, it's normal. Leave the game running for a few minutes and it will work eventually.

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/308392115338084360/994274889055875142/Capture.PNG

[calm steeple]

what do you mean?

[safe quail]

The bot has multiple responses for that specific error so it's something we at least have a few protocols for

[calm steeple]

ok

so theres a chance

[safe quail]

The last guy I helped who had this error solved it by moving it out of his downloads folder

That being said, visually ur downloads folder looks organized alphabetically instead of chronologically which I didn't expect

[calm steeple]

it didn't work it still froze

it was chronologically

[safe quail]

I think that messes up the game's pathing

The only other 2 things the bot recommends are to rename the game folder without any numbers or special characters, or to re-extract the game entirely

Re-extracting might help but these are all fixes for "missing Game.ini," as far as the RGSS script issue the bot seems to think it will resolve by itself

[vivid dome]

Hi, I'm sorry to bug you guys, but I'm trying to use some of the custom trainer sprites from the February 1-87 pack, and I am unsure how to go about doing this. Any advice?

[wise patio]

Not sure if this is the appropriate place to post, but is there a way to sync Pokedex data from one save to another? Just started New Game +, and was surprised to see the dex reset. Was hoping to use that to help denote what I had seen and what I had not to focus on using different fusions, and have a more fun way to complete the living dex.

[safe quail]

U didn't read the entire message

[safe quail]

New Game+ dex does reset, in order to register them in the new dex without capturing them all again u would need to fuse each of them as the body, then unfuse them, or breed each of them

Evolutions should register fine tho

[stoic sigil]

These are the ones you have to swap manually. Trainer sprites are located under Graphics\Characters so you can move the ones you want there and if they replace something, you're good. Just make a copy in some backup folder somewhere of the original image before overwriting

[vivid dome]

I tried that, but whenever I try to load in, it still shows the old sprites, even after replacing them

[safe quail]

The bot has a command for this, u have to rename them to specifics

[vivid dome]

Thanks guys. I appreciate it

[safe quail]

For each of the bolded images, u need to rename ur desired file to that file and replace

[vivid dome]

Alright

[wise patio]

Thanks FerrousLupus. Was not sure if there might simply be a data file that could be copied from one save to another somehow. Appreciate the rapid response.

[safe quail]

Again u want to have backups of those old ones in case smth goes wrong or in case u want them back

[calm steeple]

after extacting a fresh version how do I get my safe data

[safe quail]

Ur save data should not need to be moved

It's stored outside the game files

[calm steeple]

gotcha

[random furnace]

How can I fix this issue? If anyone has information.

[safe quail]

Are u on the light version of the game?

[random furnace]

Uh

What is you mean?

I'm on the main and not the alternate if that helps?

[safe quail]

Are u on windows and what version .zip did u download from the mega?

[random furnace]

Alternate doesn't work for me since it says smth about RGSS

[turbid terrace]

Hey @random furnace! Are you having trouble starting the game? If you are launching v5, and your screen is stuck on black at startup, don't worry, it's normal. Leave the game running for a few minutes and it will work eventually.

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/308392115338084360/994274889055875142/Capture.PNG

[random furnace]

Lemme check.

5.1.1.1 I think.

[safe quail]

If so that explains why u don't know what light version is

Ok u can try what Kenny said in game help

Ah u said u have

[random furnace]

Yep.

[safe quail]

I would recommend patching ur game up to 5.1.2.4

[random furnace]

Oop.

Welp I'm going to have trouble downloading it and setting it up like the first time I did it.

[safe quail]

Why is that

[random furnace]

Not sure.

But the first time I downloaded the thing four times.

[strong whale]

hey im confused where to put the sprite pack, do i copy all of the sprites over to the custom battlers folder or just drop the sprite pack file into the custom battler file cuz theirs other files in the download

[turbid terrace]

Hey @strong whale! Are you trying to add more custom sprites to your game? You can find the most up to date sprite pack containing all custom sprites in #downloads! To add them to your game, simply copy all the files into your game's CustomBattlers folder. The pack also contains alts and things such as joke sprites and regional variants, which you can also add to your game if you wish.

You can swap between alts of a given fusion in-game, using the Pokédex!

[safe quail]

U copy the sprites over

[random furnace]

Oop.

[strong whale]

including the stuff in the alt file?

[random furnace]

Mega is trying to force me to wait or buy premium to make it continue downloading.

[safe quail]

Ull have to get the full download from the mediafire link in Xillo's bio

[safe quail]

U can keep the alt folder in there if u want for ease of access, but because there are a lot of duplicate filenames in the alt folder u may end up replacing images u don't want to, so I would not add the sprites from the alts folder to the custombattlers folder

[strong whale]

kk thanks ❤️

[safe quail]

The regular sprite pack will also end up replacing files but they will be the exact same files so they are safe to replace

[strong whale]

im guessing i can just ignore the stuff in the unfused icons and the other files too?

[safe quail]

Yes, those files are unrelated to the battle sprites and will need more in-depth tinkering if u want to use them

[strong whale]

thanks g

[safe quail]

@random furnace if the new install does not fix the issue, turning off the randomizer for trainers should work

[rough idol]

You're in here full time man, doing god's work ferrous

[safe quail]

That does obv turn off the trainer rando which is unfortunate

[low grove]

how do you put the sprite pack?

[turbid terrace]

Hey @low grove! Are you trying to add more custom sprites to your game? You can find the most up to date sprite pack containing all custom sprites in #downloads!

[safe quail]

I try to be where I feel I'm needed

[rough idol]

Its appreciated

People used to complain about how useless this channel was

[safe quail]

Yea I've been trying to learn how to help with tech support on the fly after noticing the channel was dead-ish and tech support questions were often brought up in game help

I think DuoDesign and Suamppa know a lot more than me and they became more active as well

[winged surge]

Still didnt delete my corrupted save;-;

[stoic sigil]

Nah mate you're a proper pro here. I've been getting into this game for only a few weeks now, but I'm a computer science master's student who just found this game's structure rather understandable and sort of got sucked into this channel. But you clearly show more experience

[rough idol]

Either way all three of you are doing gods work like i said

I still havent even played the game, i just memorised a few common bugs and their fixes

[winged surge]

Trying to te download the thing I doesnt let me extract
Mild annoyance

[safe quail]

That's interesting, u were able to extract it before right

[winged surge]

Yes but now it just make my Windows not responding

Maybe I need to accept my fate

[safe quail]

If ur file explorer is slow u may need to clean up ur computer a bit

Someone recently mentioned defragging their pc to do this but idk how to do that

[remote plume]

Hard drives don't like creating 70 thousand tiny files at once.

[winged surge]

I have 105GB of Free space

[safe quail]

Yea free space isn't the only issue that can exist

[winged surge]

Ah man why can’t my game be normal for once

[remote plume]

It hangs my explorer for five minutes when extracting too. And I have an nvme drive.

[winged surge]

Cant even download 5.0 on Mega not ever there

Before it worked just fine

[twin breach]

Theres a media fire link for it i cant remember where i found it

[safe quail]

It's in Xillo's bio

[remote plume]

As long as you see your hard drive activity stay at 100% in the task manager, just wait and go make a sandwich or something.

[safe quail]

But I think that's updated to 5.1 now

[winged surge]

I love extracting!!!

[winged surge]

Yeah but explorer not even downloading its on not responding🗿

[safe quail]

Not responding is somewhat normal

The window may say it's not responding but as long as what Fum says is happening, it's still doing work

[winged surge]

It was working fine when I first downloaded it that’s not normal tho

Stoopid save file being corrupted why it gotta be happening to me

[safe quail]

Yea it changed for me too

[winged surge]

Doing this on laptop doesn’t help

[safe quail]

Laptops will be slower for sure

[winged surge]

School laptop that needs battery change

Oh it’s downloading

Why am I even downloading

It’s not like my save file while magically heal

Why does it say more that one day

[random furnace]

Damn I have to wait 5 hours for the download to continue

[winged surge]

I’m not waiting all that

[winged surge]

What does alternate launcher do

[safe quail]

It takes longer to boot but reduces load times in-game

[winged surge]

Alr

Um

[safe quail]

It also may have better compatibility with controller

[winged surge]

Which file do I delete for my problem

File A ?

[safe quail]

Ull want to delete every "File #"

[safe quail]

If u wanna be on the safe side u can delete Game.rxdata too, I'm not sure if the current version of the game would recognize it

[winged surge]

Wdym safe side

[safe quail]

I mean that I don't think that it should impact anything if ur on v5.1+, but if u have a fresh install a corrupt save might trash that install as well so if ur afraid the game might try to interact with it u may want to delete it

[winged surge]

Alright so I delete both

[safe quail]

Sure

[spare cosmos]

Trying to set up a randomizer run and this issue comes

[safe quail]

The randomizer in the current version appears to have a lot of issues, I would avoid running them for now

This is a new one to me, fwiw

[winged surge]

New version startups is faster now

Oh my game works

But at what cost

@safe quail so any recommendations for my issue to not happen again ?

[safe quail]

Nope, I think uve done just ab everything u can to avoid it

[spare cosmos]

yes but I want to randomize and start with mewtwo

[safe quail]

Try not to mess with any files outside of the graphics folder

That's ab it

[winged surge]

And can I make my backups save

[safe quail]

Yea for sure back up ur saves

[winged surge]

So do I just copy the file and leave it in the “savefile” folder

Or I put the backup elsewhere

[safe quail]

U can put it anywhere

I'd probs keep it in the savefile folder and name it smth the game won't recognize

[winged surge]

I can name it but I need to keep rxdata I think ?

[safe quail]

Yea keep .rxdata

I don't know of a way to have it update automatically so ull need to replace it with ur current save every once in a while in order for it to be a proper backup

[winged surge]

Better to have an old save than restarting the game

[random furnace]

Welp this sucks.

[winged surge]

Wdym

[safe quail]

So u have chosen to download every available version of the game

[random furnace]

That's what's inside the folder so yeah.

[safe quail]

Yea u didn't need to download the entire folder

[random furnace]

Oh.

[safe quail]

double-clicking one of the full .zips would download just that folder

The 1.41GB one would be recommended

[gritty radish]

where is the game lol

[random furnace]

Still got the quota

[safe quail]

Yea once u hit the quota u can't just back out

[random furnace]

Damn.

Alright.

[safe quail]

Uve already done the downloading

So Mega says thats ur limit

[random furnace]

I'll check back in 4 hours and 20 mins then.

[safe quail]

This kind of looks like the patch .zip

Also u should extract the files somewhere other than ur downloads folder in the future

[safe quail]

This is presumed to be an incompatible save

Did u have a previous save file?

[magic crown]

Nope only got this a few days ago

[safe quail]

There are a few things we can try but I don't think they have a high likelihood of working

We can try them or u can scrap this file and get a new install and try again

I noticed ur on 5.1.2.0

[winged surge]

Btw is there any disadvantage to the alternate launcher the game is super slow

[magic crown]

Ye the latest one

[safe quail]

The current version is 5.1.2.4

[magic crown]

Is that not the latest?

[safe quail]

Not to my knowledge

[safe quail]

.

[winged surge]

Oh its just better then

[safe quail]

I think it's better but it's alternate bc the boot time often causes people to believe the game isn't working

[winged surge]

Maybe alternate is just the original launcher and the new is just faster at launch

Because the game is slower I think

[rough idol]

ya the only "disadvantage" is the longer load time

thats it

[winged surge]

Cool

[magic crown]

Okay just reset the computer and it’s the same

Okay so what can I do?

[safe quail]

Well u can patch ur game to 5.1.2.4

It may also help to move the folder out of ur downloads

The way the downloads folder sorts files can mess up the game

[magic crown]

Alright I’ll move it to my desktop and try again

So how would I download the latest version

[safe quail]

U can either download the full .zip from the mega and run it separately or u can download the patch .zip from the mega, copy its contents into ur game folder, and let it replace

[magic crown]

Would you be cool if I dmed u whilst I do this I’m not as compooper savvy as I used to be

[safe quail]

Sure

[novel imp]

Guys, the JoiPlay keeps giving me this error do anyone know how to solve it?

It's my first time opening it

[safe quail]

Game is not developed for mobile so there's no reason to expect it to function or function well

[novel imp]

Huh, someone on this server told me it worked for them

Okay then

[safe quail]

It may or may not work

There are no guarantees and it's essentially up to chance

[novel imp]

Okay, thanks for your time

[tulip summit]

I have a question

Do I just add the sprite pack folded in custom battlers

Or do I need to copy every image and paste it in the folder

[safe quail]

The latter

[tulip summit]

I pasted all the new sprites in the sprite pack in the custom battler folder like this

Or did I just waste my effort?

[lucid wolf]

then when the game ask you to replace you choose yes ( i think)

[safe quail]

It shouldn't have been a lot of effort

This works fine

[tulip summit]

Well I’m new with co@punters and all that

I’ve only ever used my laptop for school

[safe quail]

U can highlight every image quickly with ctrl+A and copy them like that

[tulip summit]

I wish I knew that sooner

[safe quail]

Either way it seems u have correctly pasted them into ur folder

So when u run the game these will be sorted into ur indexed folder

It will ask u if u want to replace some sprites

They are the exact same sprites so replacing them is fine

Actually

U may not be asked that bc u downloaded the 87 pack and not the 1-87 pack

Either way it's fine

[tulip summit]

What’s the difference😅

[safe quail]

The 1-87 pack should contain every sprite ever

The 87 pack should contain only sprites that were created in february

[tulip summit]

I see

Looks like I have to tinker again

Is it the same process

[safe quail]

Yes

[silent osprey]

Actually I am stumped at the same thing rn. I put all the alternate base sprites into the custombattlers folder but the game only indexed the fusion and normal base sprites, not the 1a, 1b etc. sprites. I can't possibly have to manually edit and chose all base sprites, can I?

[safe quail]

Can I see a screenshot?

[silent osprey]

sure

I'm running this on a windows7 machine rn

[safe quail]

And u said it indexed what exactly

I don't understand what the fusion and normal base sprites refers to

[silent osprey]

well I downloaded spritepack 1-87 and copied "Custombattler" content to this folder in the game installation. Then I also added the content from "alternate base sprites" to that folder since it seems the only one that indexes like this

I then launched the game and it imported/indexed a ton of new sprites, but these seem not to have been indexed

[safe quail]

What I'm seeing right now is that the leftover files are either alternate sprites for unfused pokemon or are named ".PNG" instead of .png

The sprites for unfused pokemon are not found in custombattlers, they are found in battlers

However, the game does not have a process to update the battlers index

[silent osprey]

so I'd have to put them all in the right folder?

[safe quail]

Even if u placed them in their proper indices by hand, the game does not recognize alternate sprite filenames for unfused pokemon

Only 1 sprite will appear in the pokedex for unfused pokemon and it is the sprite with the main filename

[tulip summit]

Do I do the alts aswell

[silent osprey]

ah gotcha, I thought I could have alternate sprites like many fuse-mons have for base pokemon, too

[safe quail]

No, the alt filenames have a lot of overlap with the main sprites, so they may end up replacing a bunch of files u don't want them to

[prime holly]

Bit of a dumb question but is there a way for me to go back after I select fight? I was trying to catch a Pokemon and couldn't leave the move select screen

[safe quail]

the pokedex may be able to select from the alt folder without any meddling, if ur lucky

[safe quail]

This exact command is mapped to a different button

On controller it is X and on Keyboard it should be Z

[silent osprey]

thanks, do you by chance know if windows can rename file endings in batch?

[prime holly]

Thank you so much. Very appreciated

[safe quail]

There is a tutorial someone has been posting to help replace .PNG with .png using powershell

#tech-support message

[lucid wolf]

oh so i just put the alts folder in custombattlers?

[safe quail]

It's worth a shot, altho it may not work

Generally speaking the alts folder will have to be handled manually if u do not want to risk overwriting any sprites

[tulip summit]

Is it worth it though?

[safe quail]

That is up to u

[tulip summit]

Adding the alt’s

[safe quail]

The alts folder being placed in the custombattlers folder will not impact the game in any way

Unless u are lucky and ur pokedex can read from the alts folder

[tulip summit]

What do I do if some Pokémon didn’t get imported

[safe quail]

The Pokemon that didn't get imported should either be .PNGs instead of .pngs, .gifs instead of .pngs, or base sprites which are not filed into that folder

[flint gulch]

i cant download the game of mega how else can i download it ?

[turbid terrace]

Hey @flint gulch! Are yo having trouble downloading the game? You can find the download of the game in #downloads! To run it, simple unzip all of the files into a folder, then click the .exe file. Be mindful that the game takes a few minutes to load, don't touch the black window before it does!

[safe quail]

refer to the link above for instructions on converting a .PNG to .png

[safe quail]

U can find the mediafire link in Xillo's bio

[flint gulch]

thx

[tulip summit]

Link above?

[safe quail]

.

[silent osprey]

worked fine, great help Lupus 🙂 , @tulip summit beanz if your powershell is showing the wrong directory you gotta copy the directory name (everything) and use the command "cd" in powershell. right click to paste stuff into powershell.

[tulip summit]

Wha-

Power shell?

[safe quail]

If u are not confident in following the instructions in the message I linked, it may be safer to leave those sprites where they are and play without them

[tulip summit]

Okay

Majority of them are bidoof anyway

[silent osprey]

beanz, drop me a PM if you want help with the powershell or maybe I can convert them for you if you like

[tulip summit]

I have everything highlighted I just don’t know what power she’ll is

Shell*

[safe quail]

Ur folder looks like a mess brother lmao don't worry bout it

[tulip summit]

I don’t play games on computer

First time doing this mate

[safe quail]

No ur actually fine

I'm just teasing

[silent osprey]

powershell is a windows program that lets you execute code, it's very scary looking

I think windows10 and up gives you direct access via the "files" dropdown

otherwise search on your pc for it

[deft sedge]

I have a fusion incense activated and it wont deactivate even though Ive walked well over the required steps, is there a way I can fix that?

[safe quail]

I haven't used a fusion incense, how do u mean it won't deactivate

As in u keep getting fused encounters?

[valid ginkgo]

Does anyone know to download the game for MacBook or is it even possible new to all this @everyone

[safe quail]

Mac has to run the game through Wine, and last I heard the last compatible version was 4.9.2

[rough idol]

I hope you don't attempt to ping everyone in every public server you join

[valid ginkgo]

I just copied the message

[silent osprey]

in theory you can install a virtual machine with windows10/11, but I don't know any virtual machine programs on mac. in that virtual machine all the newest versions should work

[safe quail]

Wine

[silent osprey]

Wine is not a VM, afaik, it's more like an emulator

[safe quail]

Yea

That is the only solution I am aware of

[silent osprey]

well if a virtual machine works then that is simulating the whole pc, thus a simply game like this is not an issue since it really does not require specific graphics drivers etc.

[safe quail]

Yea the issue would be finding one for Mac

[silent osprey]

yup

[valid ginkgo]

Thank you

[drifting beacon]

hi im having error intializing physfd: no error how can i solve it

[safe quail]

Well that's not very helpful

[spare cosmos]

how to fix

id like to be able to play

[safe quail]

Yea that problem could be anything

U could show us traceback.log but I have no clue if I'd find anything usable in it

RuntimeError is a very vague error message

[random furnace]

Uh @safe quail.

Okay.

I got the download.

Uh

Loaded it up.

Same save data.

and same error.

[safe quail]

Remind me what the error was again

The trainer rando, right

[random furnace]

This.

1st trainer nugget bridge.

[safe quail]

Yeah I would just turn off the trainer rando

[random furnace]

How?

I know its the guy upstairs of pc

[safe quail]

U can turn off rando settings with the update man in the pokecenter

[random furnace]

but what setting?

[safe quail]

U should be able to navigate it fine

[random furnace]

Shuffle or no?

[safe quail]

Should be in randomizer settings, it'd show the same menu u had at the start of the game

[random furnace]

OMG YESSSS

AA

THANK YOU!

[fair stream]

why is it that when I copied all the new custom sprites over to my CustomBattlers folder yesterday, they were all there and Now, the only ones in there are just the Bidoof fusions…

[rough idol]

if you have been playing the game, its because all the valid ones got sorted into their index folders

the bidoof ones are invalid and didnt get sorted

[fair stream]

So all the custom sprites that I imported yesterday are still in the game?

[rough idol]

yes

[analog cairn]

New TM's and HM's don't seem to be appearing in my bag after I tried buying the Flamethrower TM from Celadon. I've picked up both Strength and Surf and neither are showing up in my bags.

[spare cosmos]

where do i find that

[safe quail]

That's a great question

I do not know

[spare cosmos]

basically randomizer broken

[safe quail]

Ok that sounds about right then

[short raven]

is there a way to get these to sort into the game itself? or itd just sit here

[safe quail]

The remaining files are alternate base sprites, which go in the battlers index and will not be recognized unless they are renamed to the main sprite

.PNGs instead of .pngs

.gifs instead of .pngs

Or named improperly

[short raven]

oh ok, so if u want to u can just put them in urself if u like the sprites?

[safe quail]

Yea

[short raven]

alright got it

[sturdy timber]

The controller keybinds seem weird and arbitrary and changing them isn't working. I think I'll have to just use keyboard

[safe quail]

Yea they didn't work for me either

I think that the alt launcher fixes them

[sturdy timber]

I'll try that

The alternate launcher crashed because it failed to find a file. I think it was missing a sprite for the title screen fusion animation though, so that might just have a slight chance of happening in either launcher

[glossy fractal]

bro during the game it takes so much time to load after a battle is done or after i catch a wild pokemon or battle and when i enter a gym or a place it takes so much time to load in the place it comes as a black screen for like 30 seconds

[turbid terrace]

Hey @glossy fractal! Are you having trouble starting the game? If you are launching v5, and your screen is stuck on black at startup, don't worry, it's normal. Leave the game running for a few minutes and it will work eventually.

Do not click on the window during this, otherwise you'll get the error below and the game will close.
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/308392115338084360/994274889055875142/Capture.PNG

[glossy fractal]

lmao not this

[safe quail]

U can try launching from the alt launcher, and if ur in version 5.1.2+, u can turn off the download sprites setting in options if ur on the non-light version

Both of these things are known to reduce load times

[glossy fractal]

alt launcher?

what happens if we turn of download sprites

[safe quail]

If you turn off download sprites, the game will only be able to use the sprites located in its graphics folder

This is incompatible with the light version of the game for this reason

If u don't have an alternate launcher.exe u may be on the light version

[glossy fractal]

oh

okay ty

Is there any chance we can add our own custom sprites?

[safe quail]

yes

[glossy fractal]

Oh nice is there any vid or tutorial for it?

[amber trench]

How do you install the Sprite packs?

[turbid terrace]

Hey @amber trench! Are you trying to add more custom sprites to your game? You can find the most up to date sprite pack containing all custom sprites in #downloads! To add them to your game, simply copy all the files into your game's CustomBattlers folder. The pack also contains alts and things such as joke sprites and regional variants, which you can also add to your game if you wish.

You can swap between alts of a given fusion in-game, using the Pokédex!

[neat crypt]

anyone know what this means?

[safe quail]

Yeah, this is an error related to the new No Level Mode

[neat crypt]

can i fix it?

[safe quail]

If ur getting this error, idk what's causing it or how to fix it, but version 5.1.1.1 should not have this piece of the script that's causing this issue

[pseudo aurora]

when downloading the game through the mega it said the "download quota exceeded" do i just have to wait another day to download it?

[neat crypt]

and is that out anywhere?

[safe quail]

Yea it's in older versions in the mega

[safe quail]

U can get the mediafire link from Xillo's bio

[neat crypt]

ah. thanks

[woeful forge]

Does anyone know if there is a way to manually add a pokemon to the game? I tried to triple fuse Megaligasion and it says it worked, but the egg is no where in my boxes.

[safe quail]

Saves should transfer backwards from 5.1.2 to 5.1.1 just fine, as long as u didn't save exactly in the new battle tower

I was running a save on both versions for a while

[safe quail]

Someone else was having this issue with this triple fusion as well, not certain what's causing it. The only way to straight-up add a pokemon is by using the debug tool, which is a tool u only get for completing the pokedex on a classic mode save

[woeful forge]

Do you know what the command for that would be?

Once when I get there

[safe quail]

No, I think it opens an in-game menu that lets u spawn it

But I'm not sure, I've never done it

I'm working on it

[mystic skiff]

howdy yall! im trying to extract the custom sprites into the custombattlers folder but it won't let me. i don't know how to give myself permission to do that, anyone here know how?

[turbid terrace]

Hey @mystic skiff! Are you trying to add more custom sprites to your game? You can find the most up to date sprite pack containing all custom sprites in #downloads! To add them to your game, simply copy all the files into your game's CustomBattlers folder. The pack also contains alts and things such as joke sprites and regional variants, which you can also add to your game if you wish.

[pseudo aurora]

i think ima try to just wait a day im scared 😔 thank you tho

[strange heart]

So I'm doing a Modern Mode run where gyms are random types and random gym trainers but I have to do random overworld trainers too, which would be fine if it didn't throw this error and crash. When I get into a fight with a trainer (it's happened on Route 3 and Nugget Bridge) it throws this error. At this point I'm just turning off random trainers until I am ready to do a gym, the gym trainers do not give me this error, nor does my rival

Turning off random trainers seems to fix it short term but it's annoying to have to switch them on and off. I can give my randomizer settings if that's needed

[turbid terrace]

Hey @strange heart! Do you have questions about Randomized mode? Find more info about it and its various settings on the Wiki: https://infinitefusion.fandom.com/wiki/Randomized_Mode
Note: You need to have an existing save file before the game lets you restart in Randomized mode!

[brisk helm]

Hey, my friend tried to download the game from mega but got told he reached his "quota" and couldnt finish the download, but I and others downloaded it fine? Is there any reason for this? :(

[safe quail]

Yea he got rate limited

It's dependent on area

Typically the cap appears to be 5GB, and if u tried to download the entire Mega it would be 5.1GB, so unless he was downloading from elsewhere on Mega I think he may have been messing up

[safe quail]

Yeah we were looking at this before, turning trainer rando off does fix it but that does mean u just can't play with that rando setting

[strange heart]

yeah thankfully it works in gyms which is really all I wanted so it's not too bad

[safe quail]

There seems to be a lot of issues with the randomizer settings in this version

Rando settings, the Download Sprites feature, the No Levels Mode, and most unfortunately some save incompatibility errors seem to be the biggest causes for concern right now

[strange heart]

yeah this is definitely not a huge problem thankfully

[reef ledge]

am I reading this correctly and I'm insanely unlucky, mostly curious ill download the most recent patch I just wanna know if I can assume what I think this error is trying to tell me haha

[safe quail]

This is a common error with 5.1.2.0

But yes

It is what u think it is

[reef ledge]

oh my god hahaha

[untold mountain]

arghhhhh, its been 10 hours...

i should reset before extract it...

[safe quail]

That's a lot

[untold mountain]

if i restart my laptop now, does it need to extract from begining again? i've been using my lap for 5 days without turn off, it so slow now

[safe quail]

Likely

I don't see how it would retain progress

[uneven hound]

This is why i hate mega links

[turbid crystal]

Hi is there anyway i can play on mac?

[untold mountain]

Nevermind, my lap froze anyway, it force to reset itself...

[safe quail]

U can try running the game through Wine, the most recent compatible version afaik is 4.9.2

[calm steeple]

So I think its a fusion problem, I reextracted the game. Started a brand new save to make sure it just wasn't my save file. And as soon as my rival fused two other two pokemon it won't let me battle him

[untold mountain]

F my life

[mystic skiff]

now i have this problem, anyone know what i can do to fix this or where i can go to learn how to fix it?

[safe quail]

Yeah it's trying to open a file path that doesn't exist, a typo is being generated in "...CustomBattlers//329.78..."

We've noted a similar error before, not sure what can be done to fix it

Were u doing anything specific when it occurred? The traceback appears to reference replacing sprites

[mystic skiff]

i copy and pasted the 1-87 custom sprites into the custombattler file

[safe quail]

Did u do this while the game was running

[mystic skiff]

no

if it helps its running on parallels desktop through my mac, so it runs but not great

[safe quail]

For now I think it's safe to say u can't replace the sprites en mass using the automated process

[mystic skiff]

aw beans. would i gotta do it one at a time then?

[safe quail]

Yeah, which isn't really feasible especially with the 1-87 pack containing all 50k-someodd sprites made for the game

Ur basically limited to picking out ur favorites if u know where they are

Ur current situation still leaves u with a bunch of sprites in the custombattlers folder

I think a ctrl+A delete may delete ur indexed folder so when deleting them be sure ur only highlighting the sprites

[mystic skiff]

good to know. thank you so much for your help!

[calm steeple]

Now my game freezes up randomly

everytime I enter my Pc

[junior yew]

I am experiencing very long load times between battles and entering a new area like a town or house. I am the most current version. I've read and can confirm that the alt launcher fixes this problem. But that also comes with it own problems. For one the alt launcher takes ages to open. Also the keybinds are different on the alt launcher and pressing f1 to rebind doesn't work. I clear an input and try to record a new one and it doesn't register the input on the controller despite recognizing it and using it for the game. I also have the February sprite pack downloaded. I haven't tested if that is causing the issue or not but either way I'd prefer to have custom sprites.

[foggy yew]

I'm uh confuzzled

I can't even play game

[bitter siren]

hey im having an issue where my custom sprites are not displaying in game even tho they are in the custom battlers folder any advice?

[turbid terrace]

Hey @bitter siren! Are you trying to add more custom sprites to your game? You can find the most up to date sprite pack containing all custom sprites in #downloads! To add them to your game, simply copy all the files into your game's CustomBattlers folder. The pack also contains alts and things such as joke sprites and regional variants, which you can also add to your game if you wish.

[manic ferry]

Is there a way to fix the stuttering?

[frozen galleon]

Some peokemon aren't appearing on screen for me. Do I need to reinstall the graphics part or the like?

[calm valve]

Need help installing on Mac OS

[hasty lantern]

Heya folks, quick question, for adding the custom sprites, do you just toss the folder in CustomBattlers folder? Or the image files in the folder?

[raw heart]

When I download a new version of the game, do I just copy my Custom Battlers folder over to the new version or do I have to add all the sprites back again? I could never find a decent answer to this question online.

[raw heart]

Image files.

[hasty lantern]

Thank you kindly.

[frozen galleon]

Any known remedy for this bug?

[crimson lantern]

Did you get a fix?

[rocky sequoia]

nope sadly

[crimson lantern]

Dang, I am having the same problem

[rocky sequoia]

apparently its because of a new feature they added and the script isnt passing anything

you'll have to wait for the next update for them to fix it

[crimson lantern]

Thanks for letting me know

[crimson lantern]

Going back to 5.1.1 worked for me

[rocky sequoia]

yeah same here

hopefully they fix that feature they added

[proud olive]

Hey i Keep getting a runtime error while surfing south of cinnabar island

[rancid sigil]

im trying to add a custom player sprite to my game, following this https://discordapp.com/channels/302153478556352513/1031005766359982190/1031055520846589994

but the "for the battle transition: in the Graphics/Transitions folder; vsTrainer0.png" part doesnt work, its still the default trainer sprite

Solved it, the file is "vsTrainer_POKEMONTRAINER_Red" not "vsTrainer0"

[robust mantle]

Got this error message twice in a row after encountering the underground pokemon in the safari zone

[noble hound]

this keeps happening when i enter the first battle with blue in the lab any solutions?

[barren barn]

Hi guys! I have a little problem in my game. I was quietly farming for level up my pokemon. And when I decided to go to adventure I quickly realized that there was no more wild pokémon. I didn’t use repel, but nothing to do, they don’t want to show up. Anyone have any idea how to fix that?

[stoic sigil]

This is a bug in the sprite downloading code. Use the Discord bot or the search function to find the sprite called 341.412.png, download it and place it to [game location]\Graphics\Battlers\341\

[stoic sigil]

Are you using the lite version of the game?
