tech-support

[safe quail]

Yea the speed settings heavily rely on ur pc's ability to keep up

[elfin schooner]

My thoughts exactly. Not sure what speed they're playing the game on though.

[jolly nacelle]

I play normal everywhere just when I try to fuse some Pokémon it takes too long/crashes and if it manages to make it it still takes too long whenever I use it

[safe quail]

That may be helped by turning off download sprites but I'm not sure how much

[jolly nacelle]

Where is that option just normal options?

[safe quail]

Should be

[elfin schooner]

Yes

[jolly nacelle]

It is real fun but unplayable if I can't use what I want

[elfin schooner]

What kind of GPU do you have?

[jolly nacelle]

Wait maybe this fixed it

[elfin schooner]

Yeat 👍

[jolly nacelle]

I reversed my Nidoking to psychic poison and worked

and doesn't crash when I go into battle

Jesus I lost so many hours

Trying to fix

And was just one option

What is the point of download if I have all the sprites in folder

[safe quail]

It's to keep ur sprites up to date automatically for future sprite packs

[jolly nacelle]

I think I found a bug

But my fuses work now

[safe quail]

What bug

[jolly nacelle]

Alr was just visual bug

When I fused my ratata dissapeared

But it came back

[safe quail]

Ok good

[jolly nacelle]

Yesss

Also

I fused tyrogue with ledyba

And now it has 20 attack 20 defense

I love u all

Hitmontop technician here I come

I found out that other fusions bug too because I was trying to evolve tyroguw

While I had only Nidoking crash me so far

I'm so happy

[vast slate]

hi guys i just got told to come here because i am having problems with the game working it worked before but now it is not please help thank you

[safe quail]

If it's just sitting on a black screen and u haven't changed anything ab ur game I don't really know what can be done ab it

[vast slate]

so do i just uninstall and re install it

[safe quail]

U can try that, u could also try installing the new version but it's less stable overall and might cause more issues down the line

[vast slate]

damn well i got no other choice i haven't played it for ages

[safe quail]

Generally speaking the new version is also more technologically demanding, so if u think it's become a hardware issue that may not be recommended

[vast slate]

well a little while not ages

aw no my laptop is a gaming laptop and its pretty good

im being asked to pay for the downlaod what do i do

[safe quail]

U can use the mediafire link in Xillo's bio instead

[vast slate]

where is that please

[safe quail]

In Xillo's bio

[elfin schooner]

https://www.mediafire.com/file/vj7k2y18i2re2lj/infinitefusion_5.1.2.4-full.zip/file

[vast slate]

thank you

have more pokemon been added to the game thanks

[safe quail]

No

[elfin schooner]

Is there a pokedex chat/channel Ferrous? I'm trying to find a custom sprite and I'm not sure how to go about finding it.

[safe quail]

More will not be added in a long time

If ever

[safe quail]

U can search for the fusion and scroll til u see a custom sprite for it, that's what I do

Usually they'll be in #sprite-gallery

[elfin schooner]

Appreciate it homie ❤️

[patent flare]

managed to get the game to run via Wine on my mac but i keep running into this error when trying to import the custom sprites from the gallery folder

[safe quail]

This is a typo generated by a coding error in the download sprites feature

U will have to turn this feature off in order to run the game

[patent flare]

darn, i was really hoping to use some of the cool custom sprites i've been seeing around everywhere

[safe quail]

The options menu to turn off this feature should be in the menu after this screen so u may have to tell the game to not import sprites first and then reboot

U can still use the custom sprites, the download sprites feature would just update the game on demand with the latest sprites whenever they would be accessed

[patent flare]

ohhhh i see

[safe quail]

As long as u still have the sprites in ur files ur fine

[patent flare]

oh neat!

thank you!

[safe quail]

lmk if that works

[patent flare]

so far so good, i'll post here if anything else goes wrong

ngl i didnt expect the game to even run so this is already pretty huge lol

[safe quail]

ok dope, I wasn't sure if skipping the import sprites step would actually let u thru

[shell arch]

I think I've softlocked myself.
What gym badge do you need to be able to use Surf?

[safe quail]

U need the first 6 gym badges

[shell arch]

Which one is the sixth?

[safe quail]

Saffron

[shell arch]

Never mind then.
Thought it was going to be Toga's, guess I just can't figure out how to get into anything in Saffron.

[safe quail]

Koga is 5

[shell arch]

I know, I see the five badges on my trainer card.

[safe quail]

Alright

If uve gotten Koga's gym badge u should be able to enter Saffron and free Silph Co without issue

[shell arch]

First time I went in, there was something invisible blocking the building.
Tried again and I just got in.

Probably fine now.

[safe quail]

Nice

[trim aspen]

Do scene transitions just take a long time or is it just me

[safe quail]

They can, it's hardware-dependent

U can try launching from the alt launcher and turning off download sprites in the full version to reduce load times

[trim aspen]

ok, thank you

[hollow dome]

Hey ! I'm trying to stream the game and whenever I launch it, it crashed ! Can someone help ?

[vast slate]

how do i extract the game please

[safe quail]

U right click on the .zip and select extract all

Or use a program like 7-Zip or WinRAR

[hollow dome]

Please

[safe quail]

Without an error I can't help u, if it's only happening when u stream, I have to assume it's a hardware issue

[vast slate]

thanks ill try

[hollow dome]

I just tried without streaming and it still crashed

Maybe I installed it a wrong way ?

[safe quail]

It may still be a hardware issue, still can't say if I don't see an error message

[graceful moth]

any way I can download the game off of mega without exceeding my transfer quota? I'm not buying a mega subscription.

[turbid terrace]

Hey @graceful moth! 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]

U can try downloading off the mediafire link in Xillo's bio instead

If ur hitting the mega limit u may be downloading every file on the mega which is unnecessary

[graceful moth]

which ones do I strictly need?

[safe quail]

Any 1 .zip marked with "full"

[graceful moth]

gotcha

thanks

[rich portal]

Keep getting this error message, any ideas?

[safe quail]

This is an issue with the download sprites feature, u will have to turn it off to continue

If u cannot get to the menu to turn it off, or if u are on light mode and have not installed the sprite pack, u will have to play on 5.1.1.1

[wicked ruin]

Hi, I just downloaded the game but it said missing game script. How do I fix this

[safe quail]

which version did u download from the mega

[wicked ruin]

5.1.2.4 I think

[safe quail]

light, non-light, or patch

[wicked ruin]

Non light

[safe quail]

Can I see the error message

[safe quail]

There are a few things that could be causing this

U extracted the files?

[wicked ruin]

Yes

[safe quail]

Is the folder in ur downloads?

[wicked ruin]

Yes

[safe quail]

Move the folder out of ur downloads and onto ur desktop

[wicked ruin]

Okay

[safe quail]

lmk if that allows the game to find game.ini

[patent flare]

are the pokemon met dates supposed to be the jan 1 2000 placeholder or is my computer being wonky

[safe quail]

I've seen that placeholder before

[patent flare]

wait my trainer card has the correct date

weird

[tidal cradle]

Just downloaded but when i opened it the town is just grass with invisible walls where the houses should be. How do i fix this?

[burnt orbit]

I just downloaded the light version and whenever I try to boot the game up it loads the splash screen and then crashes, any tips?

[polar brook]

I have a sprite loaded into custom battler, but it's not populating onto the monstah

nvm there it is...

just had to reload the game, kewl!

[safe quail]

Yea the game has to boot to sort the file into its index

[safe quail]

Try the full version

[polar brook]

I loaded it in beforehand, it was just cusotm battler, nothing new but either way good ole power cycle to save the day!

[safe quail]

We can try some things on the light version but depending on the error u get when it crashes the light version may be incompatible with ur specs

[safe quail]

This appears to be a tiling error with RPGmaker, I haven't heard of a fix for this sort of thing

[buoyant ether]

Keep getting this error when trying to randomize game

[gentle finch]

has anyone goten a openal context error after they try to open the game after a fresh install

[wheat whale]

im still getting this when trying to import the new pack

[merry matrix]

Version 5.2.1.4 / Win 10 (on the light version)
Getting this on a fresh game install when starting a randomizer game! Any help is super appreciated!

(Did NOT just accidentally delete my post)

[halcyon maple]

I tried downloading the game, when the mega download was finished my browser blocked it because it supposedly had a virus. Any other way to get the most recent version of the game?

[astral rover]

I just did this and am still facing the same issue. so weird what could be causing this

ferrous, would you happen to know what might be causing me to not have wild encounters? pokeradar says i can't use it in places where i should be able to get wild encounters. it's as if the game's erased whatever makes spaces cause wild encounters...

[honest scroll]

does anyone know the current hex code for the magic boots?

[dusky kernel]

My game keeps freezing when I try to scroll through a pc page of team rocket fusion pokemon

Is there any way I can perhaps clear them out one by one, or alleviate the lag/freeze?

My game runs relatively fine otherwise, it's just when I try to look at or move the pokemon in this page that the game completely freezes.

nevermind, it seems when I try to look at any fusion in my pc.

[quiet belfry]

is there a way to add animated sprites in game?

[stoic sigil]

Try turning off sprite downloading in the options, but make sure you're not on the light version first

[stoic sigil]

As of now, no

[quiet belfry]

Heres hope some day

[dusky kernel]

I’m not on the light version. By “sprite downloading”, is that making the sprites all the same dna symbol? If so, I’ve tried that but it still freezes. I’m resorting to releasing the fused Pokémon to try and alleviate the tension. I saved beforehand, so even if it doesn’t work my save’s good.

[stoic sigil]

No, I meant the new 5.1.2 feature

[dusky kernel]

Didn’t know. Lemme check.

I’ll find it in the options menu?

[stoic sigil]

Yes, fourth option called "Download sprites"

[dusky kernel]

I released a couple Pokémon beforehand. Let me reload my save to see which fix attempt did the trick.

Mind explaining what that option does?

It was your fix, thank you so much! Once I clear out these fused Pokémon, I should be able to turn that option back on, yes?

[stoic sigil]

It was made with the new light version in mind. Whenever the game detects it needs to show a fusion sprite, it will make a quick online database query to check if there's a custom sprite available for that fusion and if not, it will download the autogen one instead. You don't need to have it on if you have the full version with a sprite pack installed, but it can save you the trouble of getting new sprite packs (except I don't think it'll ever overwrite existing custom sprites, so you'd only get replacements for autogens). The hitching happens mainly with autogen sprites cause it will always check for a custom sprite when it encounters one

[turbid terrace]

Hey @stoic sigil! 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!

[dusky kernel]

Hah, so that’s why. 90% of the team rocket black market fusions I got were autogen. :p

[stoic sigil]

I almost have my dev environment set up to contribute to this game myself and then, after trying to fix a few bugs I've seen here, I'll see if I can make it check the autogens like once a day or something (might be difficult tho, we'll see)

[stoic sigil]

Phew, I was worried you had that with customs also, which would be a nastier situation 😄

[quiet belfry]

Does anyone know the path for the UI Textures like Pokedex or the Boxes?

[rough idol]

graphics > pictures

[quiet belfry]

ah thanks!

[rough idol]

then there's just folders for pokedex and storage

[quiet belfry]

aight perfect

Wanted to try my hand on some custome ui stuff :D

[unreal mist]

ive been trying to add all the new sprites to my current game file but for some reason it wont work or use the updated ones but i put the custom battles folder into my graphics folder any way to fix it?

[dusty egret]

Hi I just downloaded the light version 5.1.2, my game freezes on the title screen anytime a fusion is shown. Is it something that will happen anytime a new fusion appears or is it fixable ?

[stoic sigil]

This is why:
#tech-support message

[unreal mist]

if i download the newest version of the game will there be all the most up to date custom spirtes? and is there a way to transfer my save data's over to the newest version if i have to go this route

[stoic sigil]

The image files found in the sprite pack need to be directly in the game's CustomBattlers. Launching the game will prompt to import and you need to let it replace existing ones. The files will then be moved from the CustomBattlers folder and any left over were not detected by the game for various reasons you may search for on this channel

[stoic sigil]

The full version (non-light) does have the latest sprites at the time of its release. I don't think it has this latest (recently hotfixed) sprite pack yet

[scarlet jay]

hello friends, ive recently started playing infinite fusion, just made it to celadon, but anytime i enter new areas or doors, everything goes black except for the character sprites. saving and reloading fixes it, just for it to happen again moments later. is there a known fix for this? i havent been able to find anything on my own except for others trying to find a solution

[nocturne dragon]

Can anyone help me finish my installation on mac? I've downloaded the game, and pasted the custom sprites into the customsbattlers folder. I just download Wineskin Winery, but i don't know what to do from heree

[turbid terrace]

Hey @nocturne dragon! 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!

[unreal mist]

i had launched the game and it never promted to import any of the sprites or anything and i had dragged the CustomBattlers into the graphics file as it said but it also didnt ever ask to replace any of the current files. so im very confused now

[stoic sigil]

Can you screenshot CustomBattlers please

[unreal mist]

and i had taken it from this one and moved it over

[vast slate]

help i cannot install the sprites its just not downloading

[stoic sigil]

Interesting, that looks correct. Could you enable visible file extension from the explorer's View tab for me and send the screenshot again?

[nocturne dragon]

can anyone help? What do i do from here?

[unreal mist]

how would i do that

[stoic sigil]

There's a "View" dropdown button at the top of the window, there should be some toggleable option for file extensions there

[autumn sigil]

I hope this doesn’t mean what I think it means…

[unreal mist]

i appreciate your help and patience but im just going to delete all infinite fusions files off of my computer and just download the newest and port over the custom sprites, my brain can't do all the things i keep reading so im just going to make it simpler i apologize again for taking your time

[nocturne dragon]

Ay help me thene,

how do i get my dumbass mac do run the game

Wasn't sure to come here or in the bug reports channel, but the levels of both my, wild, and trainers' Pokemon are missing. I've tried closing the game, fixing the game at the Pokemon Center, using the alternate launcher, none of which have worked to bring them back. Anyone know what happened or how to fix it?

idk if this is the place for this, but I'm having a hard time closing the request I just finished in #sprite-requests 😅

[quick star]

when I tried to download 5.1.2.4, my computer says it detected a virus

[rough idol]

if "finished {ping the requester}" doesnt work i think you need to ask kiwi or something

[earnest berry]

thank you 🙏 I didn't realize you have to ping the person, I was trying to close it by request name

tyyyy

[rough idol]

both should work, but the first one has been broken for some time

finished and then pinging is like a backup command

[earnest berry]

aha! I will remember that 👍

[grizzled aurora]

i changed the way my game randomizes grass encounters and now i cant encounter any pokemon. how do i fix this?

[quick star]

I downloaded the light version, but the fusion sprints don't show

[stiff crag]

I unzipped the file for 5.1.2.4 but it ended up like this, anyway i can fix this?

[rough idol]

put them all into one folder

[stiff crag]

Ok

[idle nova]

I'm on android, is the only way to play this by using joiplay?

[turbid terrace]

Hey @idle nova! 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.

[idle nova]

Alright my apologies

[stiff crag]

Once everything is in one folder, how do i keep my save data from the previous version?

[rough idol]

Your save data is stored in a different folder

Somewhere in appdata I believe

[onyx smelt]

I'm not getting any response in game help so i'll try here, is there a file i ca edit to activate exp share on my save as the item randomizer meant i didn't get it as a reward

[graceful moth]

How can I do about connecting a controller to my computer to I can play fusion with that? is that a thing that fusion is built for rn?

[safe tiger]

how to go to viridian river

wrong chat

[stiff crag]

Its not allowing me to move the graphics folder into the new folder because apparently its already in use, eventhough no other folder or application is running or open

[tranquil verge]

I’m getting this soon after getting into the game and it crashes. This happened after I installed the new sprite pack 87 and fixed extensions

[pallid grove]

Deleting the original Zip is A-ok right? (when everything's already been extracted)

[stiff crag]

This keeps appearing when i try to move the folder into a main folder

[tranquil verge]

I’m getting this soon after getting into the game and it crashes. This happened after I transferred the new sprite pack and fixed extensions

im having the same trouble...

how/where do I install the 5.1.2 version?

I dont see where it is
the link to the download

[molten estuary]

i see

i just assumed that was just the old version or something

[clever portal]

Hi guys, getting this error when going into the first gym battling either of the first trainers. Can anyone assist?

[abstract lodge]

I am playing on Randomized basically everything except essential items. There were 2 trainers who gave me TMs, but they were never put in my inventory. I can't remember the first, but the second was the one who gives you Strength. Because I don't have Strength.... I think I'm soft locked out of Victory Road..
Edit. Is there a way to add in Strength or avoid the puzzles without it...? Or anything I can do?

[clever portal]

Sorry meant to put I am on the latest version of the game and I have auto save enabled. Playing a randomised version^

[hot flicker]

Try randomizing the game again. Go to the update man in the pokecenter and randomize the trainers and gym leaders

[wheat whale]

anyone know how to fix this?

[hot flicker]

Is your game trying to load up the custom sprites?

[wheat whale]

yeah

i tried extracting the individual pngs to the custom battlers folder but that error appears when starting up the game

[clever portal]

Just tried this and got the same error code come up again

[simple radish]

Hey guys I transferred a save from one computer to another, same game version and no wild pokemon encounters are happening. The save was a random run not sure if this is a common issue or not but i just dragged and dropped the save

[tranquil verge]

Hello, do I basically reinstalled everything, ran through, good. Than installed the new spirit patch and fix extension and the same messaged with the same index numbers came up

[tranquil verge]

Does it have to do with something about the file itself? Because I replaced the actual file with the updated one

[golden steppe]

is there a way to reset npc's in an area? i'm soft locked in the sewers.

[stiff crag]

This message appears whenever i try to launch the game. Is there anyway this can be fixed?

[golden steppe]

im stuck behind erika and can't move. i used the debug tool once and it worked but now it won't work at all

[hot flicker]

Your saves are corrupted.

[stiff crag]

So how do i launch the game without my saves?

[covert thunder]

You'd have to delete them

[stiff crag]

So just delete my save then try to launch the game?

[covert thunder]

Yeah

It looks like you're running version 4, though?

[stiff crag]

Nope, i have the most recent version

[covert thunder]

Oh, just a weird error message

[stiff crag]

I just had the same error message, even after deleting my savefile

[tranquil verge]

@wheat whale Yo I Fixed it. Basically I redownloaded the game and transfered the old file back to the original. I dont think we have to transfer any spirits because there is an automatic online download.

[wheat whale]

so dd the custom sprites automatically load in?

[tranquil verge]

yeah, at the menu: in the options, I turned the automatic download off and teh real nice looking sprites reverted to the crap ones. when I turned it on i had the issues again. Therefore I redownloaded the game and transfered the old customs file. Its working good now w/the automatic online download.

[wheat whale]

do you mind dming me with some screenshots so i can follow...im a visual learner 😭

[robust crow]

I'm getting this error message at the beginning of almost every trainer battle on a modern mode randomizer run

that should be fixed on the latest version of the game, install the latest patch

[tawny parrot]

Oh thanks

[dusky ravine]

does anyone know how to fix this issue? any help would be great.

[night panther]

it's ok, thanks for even offering, i'll get back to you later if it worked tysm

[cerulean cipher]

Has anyone had an invisible problem with the battle tower? I enter it and then I am just stuck in the first battle room invisible. I can run around but I cant interact with anything in the room or start the battle (I can open my inventory tho). I had 5.1.1 and put in the patch in its entirety.

[sterile tartan]

does anyone know what ive done wrong or what i need to do now ****

[rugged acorn]

if it's the same problem i was having before, you need to put the sprites loose in the custombattlers folder and the game will put them where they need to go when you boot up.

on that note, i've noticed a lot of alternate sprites have the same file name as other sprites so the game only gives you one of them. i've been going through all the alts and renamed them to have a, b, c, etc after the numbers to include all of them in my game. but some have quite a few more alts than expected. is there a limit to how many alternate sprites a single pokemon can have in the dex?

[sterile tartan]

i have no clue. i havent gotten past picking a starter. i got there then decided i wanted everything fused and all customs sprites and such and then i havent gotten to load back in with the custom sprites and everything

[tawny silo]

any reason why I cant extract the files from the mediafire infinitefusion?

[tiny ravine]

Why do I get viruses when I download the game in virus total?

[covert thunder]

Are you sure you deleted your save file and not just the shortcut to it in your game folder?

[ivory robin]

anyone know what this means and how to fix it? it only happens when i try to import new sprites.

[astral rover]

has anyone come across wild encounters not working and perhaps a fix for it?

[covert thunder]

You tried launching as admin?

[ivory robin]

yeah, 'cause it seems like it's a permissions issue and i get the same error.

[covert thunder]

Have you updated your game with the most recent patch? It looks like it's trying to change your folder structure to index all the sprites by dex ID, moving them from one giant mess of images to a smaller mess of folders full of specific images.

If the file path doesn't exist for the new logic, it might not be able to create them

[rugged acorn]

i'm looking through the sprites and there's a handful that are for example "411.132a_1"
is that intentional or should that be "411.132b" to work properly?

[rough idol]

the latter

the first ones dont work

[rugged acorn]

and is there a limit to how far in the alphabet i can go for alternate sprites?

[rough idol]

it hasnt been tested properly, someone in spriter general tried and after Q it kinda stopped working, but it could be dependent on a lot of things

[covert thunder]

Skill issue. What extractor are you using? I recommend 7zip

[rugged acorn]

there was a lot of overlapping name files between the original sprites and the alternates so i'm trying to clean it up.

oh well Q should be plenty. i'm just about finished and i only got as far as j on a couple.

[rough idol]

It might work after Q, we have no idea lol

Theoretically it should work to Z but idk

[rugged acorn]

what about alt sprites for normal pokemon?

i have a random espeon sprite with "196_alt"
does that follow the same format so "196a"?

[rough idol]

Alt sprites for base, unfused mons are not indexed by the game

Meaning you can't swap to them in the pokedex

They can only be swapped manually via file renaming

[rugged acorn]

noted. i don't really play with non-fused pokemon anyway so it's not that big a deal. i might just change it to 196.196

[fallen plaza]

does anyone experience freezing when opening your party, i can barely switch the order of my pokemon w/o freezing my butt off

[rough idol]

I think the alternate launcher is meant to solve problems like that

[fallen plaza]

yeah it's happening IN the alternate launcher

[rough idol]

Then it might just be a your pc thing

[fallen plaza]

ahh

thank you

[rough idol]

I know you can turn the fused icons off to make it lag less

If you haven't already

[fallen plaza]

oh in the party true true

ill try that

[zenith sedge]

I updated the game and I think I fucked up, when the dnaspliser appears in the startup animation the game freezes and starts going at 1fps and when it finally starts it jerks every 5 steps.

can i extract the save files and reinstal?

[rough idol]

your save files are stored elsewhere

they should be fine

[safe quail]

U can reinstall, u can also try running the game from the alt launcher and turning off download sprites, both of those impact loading times

[olive oasis]

all the pictures are doing this what do i do

[rugged acorn]

just realized i'm not entirely sure what to do with these other folders from the sprite pack besides CustomBattlers

[safe quail]

we can see ur name btw

[olive oasis]

eh its not crazy info if its just a first name

[safe quail]

Sure

I'm not sure what the X means other than it's not loading but u should probably take ur game files out of the cloud

I see the X in other places so that won't solve this issue, just in general it's good practice to keep the game files out of the onedrive and downloads folders

[olive oasis]

ok ty

[safe quail]

.git isn't supposed to be there, the rest of the folders contain misc. graphics that mostly have more involved processes in order to utilize. U don't have to do anything with them until u want to use them

[rugged acorn]

as long as i'm not gonna run into some unexpected error by not having them in my main PIF folder. btw, that pack folder isn't part of my PIF folder since i just moved the sprites into the main CustomBattlers folder to get indexed.

idk if that matters

[safe quail]

It doesn't matter where the folder is, nothing will pick up the other files inside it unless they're sorted into the correct game folders

All the other files in the sprite pack are graphical additions, and none of them are things the game expects to have

[wraith rain]

anyone able to assist me with my problem?

[safe quail]

search the channel for "missing game.ini" and make sure u follow the bot's checklist

[wraith rain]

where would i search for it?

[safe quail]

Discord's search feature

[vast pulsar]

Hi. Sorry to be a bother. But I’ve downloaded the game serval times and have been getting this error each time.

The game boots up and I can select my save but as soon as I do this appears.

[safe quail]

That's new

if u locate this file, what is its file extension

[vast pulsar]

Could it possibly be another rom mixing with it? I do have a lot of them on my Pc

[safe quail]

Game isn't a rom

[vast pulsar]

Ah my bad then

I’m not entirely sure

[safe quail]

?

[vast pulsar]

I’m trying my best to find it but I’m unsure of it’s location

[safe quail]

The error message is telling u the file path

Theoretically there should be a "doors4" file floating around in ur Characters folder

[vast pulsar]

The game seems to be working now

[safe quail]

Well alright then

[vast pulsar]

Though I don’t have backgrounds in battle

[safe quail]

Fwiw my entire graphics folder does not contain a "doors4"

[vast pulsar]

Strange

[safe quail]

So I'm not sure what the game is trying to load here

[vast pulsar]

Maybe it is a different game

I’ll have to do a clean up but that’s a lot of work

[safe quail]

My guess is that it's a typo generated by a coding error

We've had one of those that's a lot more common

[vast pulsar]

It is very strange about the No background is battle tho

Wonder why that is

[safe quail]

Yea that's probably an issue

What folder is ur game folder in

[vast pulsar]

I’m not entirely certain at the moment. I just have the shortcuts on my desktop

[safe quail]

What

U were the one who installed the game right

[vast pulsar]

Yes

I downloaded the file and extracted them to my desktop

[safe quail]

ok, that's fine

[vast pulsar]

This is what appeared

[safe quail]

Those are just shortcuts and not the .exe files themselves right

[vast pulsar]

Those two pokeball icons no

They are just shortcuts

[safe quail]

ok

Usually if graphics aren't showing, it's bc ur game can't find them, which is most commonly associated with the game folder being located in the downloads folder or on the onedrive, both of which mess with its organization

But if it's on ur desktop I'm not super sure why backgrounds wouldn't be appearing, might be related to the error that magically disappeared

[vast pulsar]

Maybe

I’ll try it out for a bit and see if anything happens

[vast pulsar]

Besides the no background thing the game seems to be running smoothly now

[tranquil verge]

Does anyone know how to make a shortcut for the game through wine on Mac?

[lucid wolf]

has there been updates on the black tilesets bug yet?

[night panther]

i think it worked, ty

every time I start the game, it asks me if i wanna implement the custom sprites, it says the RGSS script isn't working

[turbid terrace]

Hey @night panther! 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

[night panther]

oh i see

[hollow bear]

am i just missing some sprites

game starts up and everything but crashes on the Start screen

did a reinstall a week ago so i could play without the custom sprites i put in a while back

game was working fine, started up a new game, got up to pewter already, then today it just wont boot

[patent mason]

hello, apparently i found out that my save file is causing this error. Does anyone know how to fix this other than deleting my save file?

[opaque thorn]

What do i do when i try to open the game but it says “the code execution cannot proceed because zlib1.dll was not found.”

It says reinstalling may help but if there is another way i wanna try that bc it took 2 hours to install lol

[opaque thorn]

And it says the same thing but instead x64-msvcrt-ruby310.dll was not found

The game opened fine at first then i closed it and when i tryed to reopen it started giving error messages

[slender totem]

Does anyone know what this setting does? "POKERADAR_BATTERY_STEPS = 0"

[turbid terrace]

Hey @slender totem! Are you having trouble with the Pokéradar? You get it from the scientist in Cerulean City's Pokécenter. She gives you the Exp share as a quest reward there, and then will go to Route 24, where she will give you the radar.
When using it, make sure you have a repel active, or else you may only get regular encounters.
More info here: https://infinitefusion.fandom.com/wiki/Pokéradar

[slender totem]

Thanks bot, but do you know why its set to zero?

[opaque thorn]

Now it says this

[opaque thorn]

What do i do about this

[wind cedar]

Guys when using a CONTROLLER what button do i press to turbo?

[sly atlas]

hello, anyone know how to fix this?

modern mode, turned on randomizer mode for wild pokemon, trainer, and gym leaders. error popped when trying to battle a trainer

[wheat vine]

how do i delete old sprites?

[sterile pivot]

Select them and Press canc

And put the new One in the folder the old One was

Give the same name as the old One of course

[wheat vine]

im sorry but how? is there anyway u can show me idk if the game even has the sprite im looking for anyways the generator website is just giving me a different one

[sterile pivot]

I have never played the game actually but i think that there are folders where all the sprites are stored

There you have to look for the One of the fusion you have to change and switch It with the new one

[wheat vine]

i went threw the folders and couldnt fine it

[clever portal]

Hey I think I have the same problem! I’m yet to get a fix but I’ll @ you if I get a response before yours! 🙂

[odd axle]

This happens everytime I enter or exit any type of building or cave

But when i restart the game everythint works fine...

[stoic crater]

Everytime after a battle or after I walk outside off a building, my screen turns black for 10 / 15 seconds until it loads in. It is really frustrating because it is making the gameplay very slow. Does anyone know how I can fix this issue?

[winged ibex]

Anyone know why this is happening ?

Tried fusing it with mimikyu and rotom

[compact moon]

Hello

My game used to get stuck on naming my character now it says name error occurred

Does anyone know how to help?

[slender totem]

I can't tell if I sequence broke. I beat sabrina, went to the train station and bought a ticket and went to Goldenrod. People seem to think you shouldn't be able to do that until you get given a free ticket later in the game. Second, I went to Pallet Town and surfed down, and now I'm at Moltress, and the story seems like I should have done something with Articuno or Zaptos first? "Finally the last legendary bird". Should the game have made me travel to Cinnebar via Fushia? Am I overthinking all of this lol?

[jolly nacelle]

Hey

My game plays normally now

But

Sometimes I open it

And it closes by itself

Should I worry

I restarted and works but still

[pseudo pivot]

yo where do I place the fixed sprites after i download the "fixed extensions.zip" file posted in announcments

[rough idol]

custombattlers

[pseudo pivot]

thx

[normal field]

can i update my save from 4.9.1 to 5.1.2.4 with the patch? or do I need to download at least a 5.1 to update?

[main shell]

I am on modern mode and I get this error. I tried using the update man already. My game closes after this message shows up. I have tried using the alternate and standard launcher, they both give the same error

Idk how to progress

someone said that my save file is corrupted when I asked this earlier

[mossy ferry]

si there any setting i can change in debug menu to lock pokemon from evolving?

[quartz smelt]

Does anybody know how to solve this ?

[odd axle]

No this same issue started happening to me too

Its very frequent now

[humble needle]

why does my game lag after an encounter or when i leave the house

[native temple]

How do I fix this?

[haughty crypt]

I just downloaded latest version light mode and when I opened it said something about it unable to open the data/script.rx data. Could someone help me fix this?

[north lava]

why are my save files in whatever this is

[errant sigil]

Hey lovelies! How would I fix this so I can play the game?

[tame torrent]

hello, when Iam about to start the game the launcher appears for 1 sec than disappear any help with this?

[main shell]

pls help

[kind star]

what does this mean

happened when I used hyperbeam on the turn foresight should have hit

[north lava]

is the save file supposed to look like this?

[humble needle]

this happens after every encounter

[main shell]

Try alternate launcher

[humble needle]

ok

[crimson hinge]

Is there something to do with this error?

[main shell]

Idk I have the same error and no one told me the solution

I can't progress past that

[humble needle]

It works a bit better

But there's still come lag

[sterile pivot]

I need some help, I can't full screen the game at all, if I change the dimensions at all it goes black and I can't get it back until I restart it

[limber osprey]

Need help everytime I try opening my game this pops up

[weak gazelle]

is it just me or is up-down movement faster than left-right?

[cursive sphinx]

Hello, I've been playing for a while, and I'd like to know how to reduce the waiting time between map changes, and also when I'm in my boxes on the PC the switch between the box lag a lot. If you have any suggestions to make the game run smoother it would be great :), if you can't answer there's no problem, have a nice day.

[safe quail]

U can try launching the game from the alt launcher

Turning off download sprites may also help with load times but maybe not in these specific instances

[cursive sphinx]

thank you for answering so quickly, i'll try it and i'll say what right after. thanks for the advice

[safe quail]

This is an issue with ur save file, altho the exact details are unclear. What version are u on and did u update from a previous version?

[safe quail]

This is a known issue with an unknown cause or fix. If u want specifics, the traceback.log in question has an invalid input for the query of "'have_key?" that we don't understand, and the input in question appears to be the entire registry of every NPC battle in the game. This error has been known to occur at the giovanni boss battle as well as during certain rival battles.
If ur extracted folder is located in the proper place and this issue doesn't go away upon rebooting, I don't know of any action to recommend

[safe quail]

In the few instance I have seen where something is logged in errorlog.txt, the game does not actually crash. However, those were when items were used. Did the game crash in this instance?

[kind star]

Oh it didn't but it also wouldn't let me continue the crash report would appear over and over while leaving the game stuck

[safe quail]

I see, so u couldn't choose any other actions and the opponent couldn't make any actions either?

[clever portal]

Is there any update on this please?

[safe quail]

If reshuffling the rando option didn't fix the issue, the only known fix is to turn off the rando setting that's encountering problems

[cursive sphinx]

frerrous... now with the alternate launcher i have an error message

[kind star]

Yeah game just wouldn' move forward it was stuck on that "Izanami must recharge text" while making the crash report reappear even when I closed it

[clever portal]

So turn off gym trainer randomisation? Thanks for the quick reply 🙂

[safe quail]

This may or may not be an issue with the download sprites feature from before, are u on the light version?

Nvm that question the alt launcher isn't in the light version

If u can, try to mash past the intro screen

[cursive sphinx]

ok no prob

i'll try

[safe quail]

Have u had the Foresight/Hyper Beam interaction successfully before? What item was ur mon holding?

[clever portal]

This has fixed it and the Pokémon are still randomised! Double win, thanks for your help😁

@sly atlas hey, seem to have a fix if you haven’t tried to re randomise the gym trainers, I turned gym randomisation off and it’s worked!

[kind star]

No that was the first time I tried and my pokemon was holding the glasses that boost special attack
I'll retry it later

[safe quail]

I would personally avoid attempting to repeat the interaction

Not sure if the issue is just hyper beam or hyper beam and foresight

Foresight by itself works fine

[cursive sphinx]

It works but the lag problem is not solved... 😦 maybe you have another idea ?

[pulsar minnow]

There are still quite a few Pokémon with bugged sprites if you guys want I can hunt as many down as I can find

[cursive sphinx]

what do you mean by bugged

[pulsar minnow]

That

[cursive sphinx]

oh ok

[pulsar minnow]

I can hunt them down and make a folder of them

[safe quail]

If uve extracted ur game and ur game files aren't in ur downloads or onedrive folders, I can't recommend anything else

[hollow sundial]

Playing infinite fusions and I keep getting this on start up but the file is there I've checked. Had to re install the game. Now I get this. I was playing the game perfect before but i had issues going from 2.1.2.3 to 2.1.2.4 just totally messed up my files.

[safe quail]

Game isn't made for mobile

[lucid wolf]

tech support, i've come to bargain, has there been development on the black tilesets bug?

[safe quail]

There's no reason to expect it to function or function well

As the game gets more complex it will become less compatible with mobile and mac, etc.

[cursive sphinx]

no prob have a great day

[lucid wolf]

i've been trying to interview some people here that have posted the same problem but i've still got no new lead

[hollow sundial]

Thank you

[pulsar minnow]

When I get a ton of them who would I send the folder to

[safe quail]

Not sure

I'm also not sure if this is an issue with the game or with ur hardware or install

[pulsar minnow]

It’s been an ongoing issue

The sprite images have a png extension instead of the normal

So the game can’t read them

[safe quail]

The png extension is the normal

[pulsar minnow]

Weird

[safe quail]

I can't locate anything wrong with the file itself

Which is why I say that

[pulsar minnow]

Fair point

[safe quail]

It's worth noting

That file also doesn't exist

We've never made a custom sprite for Persian / Clefable

The autogenerated sprite would be under a separate filepath than the one the game is searching for

[pulsar minnow]

It says it’s an unsupported image format

[safe quail]

It says it is

So I'm interested what happens when u try and locate that file

Because it shouldn't exist in the first place

[pulsar minnow]

Give me a sec

I’ll show you

[lucid wolf]

are we troubleshooting games or quantum physics here

[safe quail]

fr

[pulsar minnow]

The answer is yes

This is what I see

[safe quail]

So

My initial assumption is that the download sprites feature has "reserved space" in a sense for these custom sprites, and then gone to go search for them

When it find that the images don't exist, it breaks the function and continues, but then when the game tries to call that image it finds the incomplete file

[pulsar minnow]

That tracks

[safe quail]

If that's the case, every fusion that doesn't have a custom sprite will encounter this error

[pulsar minnow]

Another that I just remembered this has happened to a sprite that was working fine the day before

[safe quail]

Do u remember which one

[pulsar minnow]

It was Luigia gabite

[safe quail]

dex lugia

[turbid terrace]

Lugia's IF Pokédex number is 249!

[safe quail]

dex gabite

[turbid terrace]

Gabite's IF Pokédex number is 298!

[pulsar minnow]

I ended up just manually replacing it with the image from the calculator

[safe quail]

Those images should already be located in the Battlers folder

Lugia Gabite also is not a custom sprite

When did this error first start occurring

[pulsar minnow]

Hence why I brought it up

About a week ago

[safe quail]

Had u interacted with ur game files at all

[pulsar minnow]

It’s been more and more common since then

And if you count adding custom sprites from the discord then yes

[safe quail]

So what I would do is turn off the download sprites feature if u can, then delete ur custombattlers folder and re-extract the folder from ur full game .zip and re-install the sprite pack

I think it's likely that ur index is full of these placeholders that are breaking the game

And they'll be impossible to locate

[pulsar minnow]

Ok

[bitter flint]

what do i do

[safe quail]

#tech-support message

[bitter flint]

damn

[safe quail]

If u want to test smth for me, try going back to the update man in the pokecenter and fixing ur game

I don't know if he'll be able to fix a script error or not

But it's worth a shot imo

[bitter flint]

I dont understand, this error shows in my first battle against blue after choosing the starter

Also i player with 0 issues many hours yesterday, i just restart a lot because im nuzlocking

[safe quail]

O right

This issue most commonly appears at Giovanni so I forgot where u were

Unfortunately script errors can appear anywhere and usually with little cause, so smth that may be working 1 day can stop working the next

[bitter flint]

I understand

[safe quail]

This specific error happens with these specific fights but for any script error we can only know where the error is coming from and what the fix is at best

Not why it's happening or why it doesn't happen to other people or at other times

[stoic igloo]

when changing from one landscape to another (like exiting a pokemon center or ending a battle, a black screen appears for at least 15 seconds and then goes back to normal, any idea?

[turbid terrace]

Hey @stoic igloo! 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

[pliant pond]

I heard that theres a way to have a fixed starter pokemon besides the original starters but im not sure how to do that

[safe quail]

When u start a second save the game will ask if u want to use default starters, if u say no u can pick any unfused pokemon to be ur starter

[pliant pond]

I see, is there a way to choose something that isnt a starter or is it all random from there

[safe quail]

I said any unfused pokemon

u could pick stunfisk if u want

[pliant pond]

Cool thanks

[safe quail]

I don't know of a way to select what ur encounters will be if that's what ur asking

[pliant pond]

Not the encounters, i just wanted to start with a certain pokemon

[safe quail]

I see

Then yea that's how u do it

[tired zinc]

my game has awkwardly long loading times whenever i enter a building or something similar (e.g., entering a pokecenter) is this just a general thing with the game that happens? Just wanna make sure I installed it properly

[safe quail]

Yea that's normal but dependent on ur hardware, u can try launching from the alt launcher to reduce load times

[tired zinc]

okay thank you!

yea the alt launcher helped a lot. tysm!

[safe quail]

Dope

[round prism]

in some locations there is no music (cerulean city for example). Is there way to fix this or ideas what can cause this atleast?

[safe quail]

Cerulean City isn't one I've heard of, and I get the Cerulean City music just fine, but there are certain locations where music just doesn't play, ever, like in the Safari Zone

[round prism]

route 24 is no music for me aswell, but i sure there is more then that. I change sprites and trainer sprite aswell, i wonder if that can cause some troubles, even if it dont touch data and audio files

[safe quail]

Did u have audio before, if u know

[round prism]

cant say i did, cos i change sprites almost from start

[safe quail]

It could be that ur game is having trouble running .ogg files

There are .mp3 substitutes in the audio files but I think u can probably play those just fine and it's more likely that the game isn't being told to switch to them

[limber osprey]

5.1.2 and I updated yes

[safe quail]

What previous version

[limber osprey]

5.1.1

[safe quail]

The saves should be fully compatible

If u still have a separate 5.1.1 extract, does that run the save?

[limber osprey]

nope

[safe quail]

So the save isn't exactly corrupted, but for our purposes I think it might as well be

[limber osprey]

Do i have to delete save file ?

ahhh

So if i delete save file it should work ?

[safe quail]

It seems like the program got interrupted while it was saving or something

Yea deleting save should work

[limber osprey]

thanks imma try

[pliant pond]

I think i discovered a bug

So i started a new run with the randomized setting and turned everything on randomized except starters. Apparently by doing so, you can choose which starters to start with from each region including a custom one. The custom option also has a setting for fused pokemon. So i made a rayvoir. But by doing so, once i reached the grass, all the supposedly random pokemon were the usual rattatas and pidgeys. Not even fused. Which is crazy cause i put the random setting to moderate

[main terrace]

How can I fix lag after leaving a building or ending a battle

[glossy dove]

My map goes black sometimes. I dont know how to fix it.

[ionic stump]

I talked to the NPC in the safari zone that gives Surf and I don't have Surf in my bag. I talked to him again and he acknowledges that I got Surf from him. Not sure if this is a known bug or what. I don't have any item randomization in my file. I have six badges and I can't progress any further because of this. I tried the debugger guy and that didn't help either. Is there anything else I can do to try and fix this?

[safe quail]

yea it's known

No known fix

[ionic stump]

Oof alright thanks.

[safe quail]

Sometimes gift TMs and HMs just go missing

I'm missing the violet city gym TM rn

Wait no, I'm not

I forgot it got changed from Sky Drop to Defog

[ionic stump]

I started a second file and I think I'm missing one from a gym in that too, but it's not an HM so I wasn't as concerned

[safe quail]

yea

I think I was missing Dragon Dance at some point and it came back but it may just be that Tyranitar can't learn it as a TM and I didn't think to check my entire bag

[elder stone]

uhhh so i extracted the February sprite pack to my graphics folder for the game and it’s not showing up when i run the game idk what i’m doing wrong

[arctic verge]

Okay. I have been confusing myself for way too long. I get replacing the old files with the new for the sprite patch... but Why does the patch folder have so many folders that have no equivalent in the main game folder?

[safe quail]

If ur patching the light version, it may be missing things like the alt launcher that could be included in the patch

[arctic verge]

The folder I have is for 5.1.1.1 full

[safe quail]

Putting the sprite pack folder in the graphics folder does not sound accurate to the instructions given

[safe quail]

I'll download the patch again and check but patching from 5.1.2.0 to 5.1.2.4 I did not notice any major additions, and saves are for the most part fully compatible between 5.1.1 and 5.1.2, so I don't expect to find large differences

[elder stone]

i also tried putting it in the custombattlers folder too

[safe quail]

Yes, that doesn't sound accurate either

I do have each extract separate in my folders currently and there is about a 600MB difference between the two

[arctic verge]

Ohhh.... Okay. So my friend sent me an older download link, apparently. maybe after I do the 5.1.2.4 patch things will make more sense...

[safe quail]

As long as u haven't replaced any of ur files that should be fine

[elder stone]

if you don’t mind could you remind me of the instructions again?

[arctic verge]

You install the patch folder to its own separate file location, then drag the folders within into their respected place in the main game file to replace those existing folders.

[mighty spade]

when ever i try to unzip the folder with the game it causes file explorer to crash is there any way around this?

[safe quail]

There are 2 ways to install the sprite pack:
a) Drag the custombattlers folder from the 1-87 sprite pack into ur graphics folder and let it replace the current custombattlers folder. This option may not be available for the 87 sprite pack by itself, only the 1-87 sprite pack
b) Copy all sprites located in the 87 sprite pack into ur game's custombattlers folder
When u run the game, it will sort these new sprites into its custombattlers index

[safe quail]

This is an issue on the hardware side, not an issue with the game or download itself. Try to use 7-Zip or WinRAR if ur default extractor is not working

[elder stone]

ohhhhh ok. thank you. i’ll try all of those methods.

[craggy zealot]

Hey. I have been trying to download the game but it keeps telling me that there is a virus and does not let me proceed. What should I do ?

[vital wave]

I'm not sure if the fault was by the download link or if was by Opera GX, but when Installed this morning the latest version, I received one of the most dangerous troyan in Spain, please, check if the problem was made by the link.

The virus' name is Agent Tesla

[craggy zealot]

how would i check that?

[vital wave]

I don't know

[safe quail]

Where did u download from

don't post the link if u believe it to be harmful, I just want the website name

[craggy zealot]

the discord link

[safe quail]

So the link to the mega.nz?

[craggy zealot]

yes

[safe quail]

What software is telling u there is a virus

[craggy zealot]

windows antivirus, I am using Opera GX and after the mega Download completes a popup appears and opera GXstops the download

[vital wave]

Man, I received the virus and I need to format my pc

(Sorry if my english is not very good)

So, I know the CustomBattlers folder are the meat and potatoes of the sprite patch... but I still don't understand what all these other files are for. Some have matching folders I could combine them to, but like... whats with the ,git folder... or all the Other folders that dont have anything to add them to?

[safe quail]

The .git folder isn't supposed to be there, ignore it, delete it if u want

The Other folder has a bunch of other spritework for various other things, but they would require manual replacement of each graphic in question to implement

With some exceptions

I presume that the game has a way to check for the spritework used for the Eggs automatically, so long as the files are in the proper folder in the game files

[safe quail]

If both ur virus and LuKeXs' virus are detected and perhaps caused by interacting with the website through Opera GX, that may be the issue. Downloads from the current Mega folder using other browsers have for the most part not reported any issue afaik. There was someone last night who was getting suspicious desktop notifs from their browser (which is the same as mine), but they haven't updated on their situation and seem to be playing the game fine according to message history

They were also using the mediafire link, not the mega

[craggy zealot]

ok

[safe quail]

Ur issue may also be dependent somewhat on geographic location, not sure

[vital wave]

@craggy zealot you are from Spain?

[craggy zealot]

no

[vital wave]

So the geographic location aren't the problem

[safe quail]

If u believe the downloads in the mega to be dangerous in any form, u can contact one of the mods and see what can be done, but the regulars who help with tech support likely will not be able to advise or fix anything

[craggy zealot]

I will thanks

[late night]

Where do I put the fixed extension zip?

[safe quail]

The zip should contain a collection of sprites that were incorrectly formatted in the most recent sprite pack, so follow the same process for both

[late night]

Thx

[sinful plover]

Hey guys, my pokemons doesnt show the level of pokemons in battle, do you guys know how to fix it?

[wary ember]

I can't seem to use the new sprites... I extracted them to the folder but it seems I dont have any alternative sprites to use lol

[safe quail]

Nope, this is a new one

[safe quail]

Can I see ur custombattlers folder

[safe quail]

So the only sprites I am seeing currently are alternate base sprites

These go in the battlers folder and the game does not recognize alternate sprite filenames for unfused pokemon, so u will have to rename them manually for each one u want to use

[wary ember]

the fusions went straight to "indexed" with me doing anything... o.O

[safe quail]

Yes, that is what they are supposed to do

When the game recognizes compatible fusion sprites, it will sort them into the indexed folder

This is not the case for sprites which are formatted improperly, or for alternate sprites for unfused pokemon, which do not belong in those files and will not be recognized

[wary ember]

The thing is, I fused Gengar/gengar and got this:

but I want this one:

when I go to the pokedex I only have the first one

[safe quail]

The second one is located in ur battlers folder, yes?

[wary ember]

yeah

[safe quail]

Well if ur game is not recognizing ur battlers folder

That is mildly concerning

But u may be able to copy it from ur battlers folder to ur custombattlers folder without issue

[crimson hinge]

extract the folder in the proper place? what do you mean by that?

[wary ember]

Oh so the game recognizes the Battlers Folder and not the CustomBattlers one?

[safe quail]

Based on ur observations it appears the opposite is true

[safe quail]

If the folder is located in the downloads folder or the onedrive folder, there have been many instances where the game has lost track of its files due to the way each folder organizes their files

[wary ember]

Ah yes, that's what I meant xD But its supposed to recognize th Battlers one. I'll give this a shake and see what I come up with

[edgy pine]

Just downloaded the newest light version this morning (my computer isn't great) and I'm getting this whenever I try to do the randomizer (via a new save file or my existing). The game works great except for this 😦 Is this a consequence of the light version or something I did wrong in installation?

[crimson hinge]

Ooohhh and you recommend another folder or the desktop?

[safe quail]

The desktop or documents would be ideal

[safe quail]

The randomizer has many issues in the current version of the game

[edgy pine]

would you recommend 4.9 then?

[safe quail]

U can try turning off various rando settings until it works, or u can try running the game from 5.1.1.1

[edgy pine]

ok!

[safe quail]

I would not recommend any version earlier than 5.1

As they may not transfer once a more stable version of 5.1.2 or greater releases

[edgy pine]

thanks, I'll extract it now

[wary ember]

Downloading the 5.1.1.1 fixed all my issues

[safe quail]

That's good

5.1.1.1 is the more stable version atm

[patent flare]

a lot of music tracks just. dont play

i even converted a bunch of them from .ogg to .mp3 since i have found that RPGmaker games on Macs dont like playing .ogg files but that didnt change it

[safe quail]

Most of them already have .mp3 substitutes

[patent flare]

hmmm

[safe quail]

I imagine the issue is that the games are not expecting to find .mp3 files and are not being told to check for .mp3 when they can't play/find the .ogg file

[wary ember]

@safe quail sorry to bother, but If I donwload the sprites from this website and replace them in my folder, will it work? https://kaboom242.github.io/PokemonInfiniteFusionTool/?id=255

[quick horizon]

this shows up every few fights anybody know about it?

[patent flare]

hmm probably not much i can do then

[quick horizon]

also idk if im missrembering but i dont think my mons are getting moves from lvl ups

[safe quail]

Game uses gen 7 learnsets

[quick horizon]

doesnt charmander get smokescreen and ember really early?

[safe quail]

How early is really early

10 and 7, respectively

[quick horizon]

yeah havent gotten either but its lvl 9

[safe quail]

What version u on

[quick horizon]

its the legacy one but it worked great before so im real confused rn

[safe quail]

For the record, the scripts that are encountering errors above do not exist in the current version of the game

Previous versions may use different learnsets and I cannot help with any versions pre-5.1

[quick horizon]

fair enough its just that i played legacy before and i got moves like normal

[safe quail]

Any number of things may be going wrong that I cannot advise on

[patent flare]

oh i think i figured out the issue with the music

some of the filenames for the songs corrupted and changed the é in Pokémon to. not an é

[safe quail]

I see

Still, one of the ones that doesn't play even on windows can't have that issue

Being as Pokemon isn't in its name

[patent flare]

hmm

[safe quail]

None of the ones related to the Safari Zone play in the Safari Zone itself

The Safari Zone Gate one does, I think

[patent flare]

ah

[woven oriole]

Does anyone know why I'm missing the option to do 2v2 or 3v3 in the options? I have the most recent version

[alpine halo]

Hey guys, I have joiplay Rar and had 5.0.36.4 downloaded and extracted but could not play. All the graphics were all jumbled up. No clue what I did wrong . Deleted everything and Im trying again with full zip 5.1.2.4 and its been 4 hours lol . idk if its even the right file.

[night karma]

after an encounter or battle, theres a long blackscreen pause.

[turbid terrace]

Hey @night karma! 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

[safe quail]

This may not be a feature in the most recent version

[safe quail]

Game is not made for mobile, there is no reason to expect it to function or function well

[safe quail]

U can try launching from the alt launcher

[night karma]

alright

[quick horizon]

my charmander learnd smokescreen fine guess he just really didnt feel like learning ember lol

[safe quail]

If he is above the requisite level he should be able to learn it from the move reminder in 2nd floor of pokecenters

Assuming that is a feature in ur version

[quick horizon]

oh thx ill go check it out hopefully it is

[alpine halo]

Ahh gotcha

[patent flare]

noticed the PC doesnt have selection sounds lol

weird, the .wav file for it is in here

which sounds do and dont play seems really arbitrary huh

[safe quail]

yes

[terse blaze]

How do you place the Custom trainer sprites in your game?

Like for example

The Mewtwo or Jotaro one

[safe quail]

Do you need help customizing your in-game character? To change your trainer sprites, you need to swap out or edit several files.

for the boy sprites:
for the overworld: in the Graphics/Character folder; boy_bike.png, boy_dive_offset.png, boy_fish_offset.png. boy_run.png, boy_surf_offset.png, and trchar000.png
for the trainer card: in the Graphics/Trainers folder; POKEMONTRAINER_Red.png
for the pokeball throw animation: in the Graphics/Trainers folder; POKEMONTRAINER_Red_back.png
for the battle transition: in the Graphics/Transitions folder; vsTrainer0.png
for the intro scene: in the Graphics/Pictures folder; introBoy.png

for the girl sprites:
for the overworld: in the Graphics/Character folder; girl_bike.png, girl_dive_offset.png, girl_fish_offset.png. girl_run.png, girl_surf_offset.png, and trchar001.png
for the trainer card: in the Graphics/Trainers folder; POKEMONTRAINER_Lead.png
for the pokeball throw animation: in the Graphics/Trainers folder; POKEMONTRAINER_Leaf_back.png
for the battle transition: in the Graphics/Transitions folder; vsTrainer1.png
for the intro scene: in the Graphics/Pictures folder; introGirl.png

You can find some ready made alternate trainer sprites in the sprite packs in downloads!

[terse blaze]

Thank you

So I just take out the files and place the custome ones right?

[safe quail]

No

U have to make sure ur files are named the same

Whatever u do with the original ones doesn't matter but they'll be overwritten if u don't move them

[terse blaze]

Ok thanks you

[calm ravine]

Aight ive been lookin for possible solutions but it doesnt seem like its addressed alot lol but my game keeps freezing for a while in transitions like out of buildings and Pokémon battles idk if this is an ingame issue or not lol i just wanna play the game lmao

[safe quail]

I address this all the time

U can try launching from the alt launcher

[calm ravine]

Aight thx ive been looking for a minute ill try this

Ok i tried loading the Alt Launcer but its just a black screen

[turbid terrace]

Hey @calm ravine! 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

[safe quail]

That's normal

Alt launcher frontloads some processes so that load times are reduced in-game

It stays on a black screen for like

5 min

[calm ravine]

Oh aight

Thanks lol

It fixed it thanks

[safe quail]

Nice

[patent flare]

hmm so there's no way to fix certain sounds not playing, is there

like the ones that should play but dont (PC startup, cursor move, etc)

[safe quail]

Not that I've seen

[patent flare]

darn

i had to restrain myself from replacing all the cries with their modern versions bc i did that once for pokemon insurgence

[safe quail]

Does that game still exist

[patent flare]

yeah! it is just feature complete i think so it doesnt get updates anymore

[safe quail]

When did that happen

[patent flare]

several years ago

yeah the latest version was released in may 2020

anyway since i cant fix sound effects i should get back to actually playing the game lmao

[safe quail]

Alright

[patent flare]

hmm, just loaded up the mega file of all sprites but some of my sprites didnt change

namely togetic+zubat which should have a custom sprite

[safe quail]

dex togetic

[turbid terrace]

Togetic's IF Pokédex number is 176!

[safe quail]

dex zubat

[turbid terrace]

Zubat's IF Pokédex number is 41!

[safe quail]

this one?

[patent flare]

yep

its in my CustomBattlers folder but the game still shows the autogenerated one

[safe quail]

It should have been autosorted into the indexed folder in the custombattlers folder once u booted the game

[patent flare]

hmm

it was not

[safe quail]

Did the game prompt u to sort anything else?

[patent flare]

i'll relaunch and see

the prompt at the beginning with "sprites detected" is the one right?

[safe quail]

yes

[patent flare]

that's the one that gives me the error i posted about a few days ago

this one

[safe quail]

Right, did u turn off download sprites after skipping this

[patent flare]

yeah i turned downloading sprites off

[safe quail]

Well that's no good

There's a typo at "...CustomBattlers//1.2...," but I thought it was exclusively generated by download sprites

[patent flare]

this is the current one (says 1.1.png now)

[safe quail]

Yeah, same deal

It makes sense with this context that the error says that, but if it's not connected to download sprites that means ur entire indexing process is nixed

[patent flare]

uh oh

[safe quail]

@stoic sigil u said u found a coding oversight that causes this one, don't suppose u know if we could find and edit out the typo in any of the scripts?

[patent flare]

i am on 5.1.2.4 btw

[safe quail]

Yeah I assumed u to be, u would have to be on 5.1.2.0+ to have the download sprites option, and the other versions got replaced quickly

[patent flare]

ah

[safe quail]

good to confirm tho

[patent flare]

so i guess this isnt due to an issue on my end? i was worried about that since i am playing via Wine on an ARM Mac

[safe quail]

That's not the ideal environment

But this issue persists on windows

[stoic sigil]

I'm gonna get the fix into the next version as soon as I have the time, but this weekend is busy. If one is familiar with scripting, the settings script in Data holds the folder constants and they just need to change all occurrences to remove the extra slash

[safe quail]

How much beyond a find-and-replace for the double slash would need to occur

[stoic sigil]

It's literally just find and replace + some common sense to remove extra slashes etc.

[safe quail]

I see

Thanks for the quick answer

[stoic sigil]

The issue is simply how all the older folder constants include a slash at the end, but CustomBattlers doesn't, so there are some simple code errors where an extra slash is added

[safe quail]

Ah so it's the string being appended improperly

[stoic sigil]

Yeah

[patent flare]

are these the lines in question

[safe quail]

I'm only looking at my scripts thru notepad atm lol so mine looks different

I'd need to take a moment to find that function

[patent flare]

i'm using TextEdit since thats the mac equivalent lol

i can see if i can find what line its on

lmao in classic apple fashion TextEdit doesnt display line numbers, one sec

line 77 and 78

[safe quail]

My settings script in my 5.1.2.4 extract doesn't appear to contain this function

[patent flare]

am i in the wrong script lol

[safe quail]

This seems like more of a correct place to be than where I am

[patent flare]

i checked 999_Main.rb since that seems to be the script implicated in the error

[safe quail]

It may be because I updated these files from 5.1.2.0 instead of it being a fresh extract and some things didn't fully replace

[stoic sigil]

The settings file contains mostly constants at the top, you'll want to find the custombattlers one and add a slash at the end and then finding all occurrences referring to that constant to make sure the slashes are added/not added correctly (I recommend Visual Studio Code for this)

[patent flare]

yeah if i am reading this correctly, the error points to line 38 of 999_Main and line 38 points to lines 77 and 78 which are the "/" lines i screenshotted

[safe quail]

Yea it's been a few semesters since I was a CompSci student lol

[patent flare]

i have never coded unless writing minecraft datapacks counts lmao

[safe quail]

I think I've found the constant in my file, it's missing a slash but it's working fine so I'm not messing with it lol

[stoic sigil]

If you don't wanna get into the code I recommend just downloading and adding the missing sprites yourself (or using the full version)

[patent flare]

i have the full version i think

[stoic sigil]

There are quite a few file that need editing after the slash is added lol

[safe quail]

I see

Yeah then I wouldn't mess with it anyways

There are a lot of sprites missing from the full version in comparison to the sprite pack 1-87 so it's not really feasible to do that for every sprite that's missing, but unfortunately ur best solution for the moment is to pick ur favorites and index them manually like Suamppa said

[patent flare]

oof

[safe quail]

Good news is this will be an easy fix for the people who know what they're doing

[patent flare]

reason number 2628762 i should learn to code lol

[safe quail]

Yea, but for now that still means that the next patch may not be too far away

[patent flare]

what does your 999_Main look like at line 77 lol

i'm curious as to why yours seems to work and mine does not

[safe quail]

He said the settings script so I wasn't looking in Main

[patent flare]

ah

[safe quail]

It would be the paragraph starting with the line I'm highlighting

[patent flare]

mine looks to be the same as yours

[safe quail]

Yea, I imagine these constants worked fine at some point

And one of the versions from after 5.1.2.0 missed it

And the 5.1.2.4 patch didn't include the thing that would mess it up

[swift sluice]

bj qlq peut me dire pk je n ai pas le salon main sprite voting svp

[safe quail]

no hablo francais

[swift sluice]

si hablo espanoles

[safe quail]

pues, mi espanol es no bueno, was a joke lol

[swift sluice]

Por qué no tengo una sala de votación de sprites por favor

[safe quail]

sala de votacion de sprites es no abierto actualmente

[stoic sigil]

You're looking at the right lines, the issue stems from how CUSTOM_BATTLERS_FOLDER_INDEXED is handled in various functions

[swift sluice]

im dont understund wath your mine

[safe quail]

Yeah, my Spanish is not good

If you are asking about the Sprites Voting channel, it is not open currently. Voting happens at the end of the month

[safe quail]

Yeah, that makes sense

[patent flare]

ah okay, so its way above my knowledge base to attempt to fix

[swift sluice]

o ok thanks gracias merci

[safe quail]

de nada

[swift sluice]

good by

[patent flare]

hmm how many sprites is it worth for me to manually index lmao

[safe quail]

If it were me I would do it for the fully evolved sprites of the team I intend to use

But that would require u to know

[patent flare]

yeah lol

still trying to figure out what Steelix fusion would be good

Blisslix seems appealing but i'm only in Vermillion and it has piddly damage output

[safe quail]

I went through the Alts folder and hand-picked some to index manually at some point, but then I realized my Pokedex magically understands my Alts folder

Which appears is not the case for... anyone else

[patent flare]

huh

[safe quail]

So the pokedex is supposed to be able to swap between alt sprites located in the indexed folder

But my pokedex could pick up and distinguish the sprites located in my alts folder right next to my indexed folder

Not sure why, most people have issues getting the pokedex to even recognize the indexed folder lmao

[patent flare]

huh

i havent checked the pokedex at all

okay just manually indexed all togetic.X fusions lol

that should at least do something

i need to stop fiddling with files and actually play the game

manually indexing paid off at least lol

i forgot that there's a sprite error on the Nessa spritesheet though lol

[celest fossil]

I was running the game yesterday perfectly but now i get this error

[safe quail]

I've seen people talk about this error

I haven't looked into it tho

[fathom trail]

Hello can someone help me with sprites not being detected in game

[blazing crater]

has anyone else gotten this error when trying to randomize on the new version?

[safe quail]

Yes, many

[blazing crater]

is it with just the lite version? or both?

[safe quail]

Both

The fix is to turn off rando settings until it lets U thru p much

If none of them do u can't rando

Have to do it on 5.1.1.1

[trim vigil]

I have beaten fuschia gym but Lance didn’t appear

And blue hasn’t fought me

I’ve tried the fix game option but is there any other fixes?

[safe quail]

These are not bugs

The story has changed since the walkthrough was made

[trim vigil]

Oh

My bad couldn’t find anything on it

[safe quail]

Ur fine

[trim vigil]

And I don’t see a running person in saffron

[safe quail]

U should be free to do silph co

[trim vigil]

Or I have no idea if that’s the story haha

[timid totem]

Evening! I'm playing Modern Mode and as I go to fight Giovanni at Silphco, I get a crash error saying "Traceback is too big". Is there a fix or am I out of luck?

I hope this the correct channel

[safe quail]

This is the correct channel, and u are out of luck

This is a common error generated at this fight and a few other story fights

We don't understand the traceback and have nowhere to start when it comes to trying to fix it

If u want, u can try to fix ur game at the update man

Might help, not sure

[timid totem]

Bless it ;^; I happened to run into a few shinies this run.

But thank you!

[faint bay]

Hey, everyone. It seems I've borked my save file and am getting an internal:marshal error upon launch. I reset my computer when it first happened, deleted and reinstalled, reset again even but am still getting the same error. Apologies if this is super common problem.

[safe quail]

Did u delete the save

[faint bay]

Do I delete the save files folder or the files in that folder?

[safe quail]

The save files are located in a folder that is not contained within the game files

[faint bay]

Sorry if dumb question

[safe quail]

U would need to delete any save file that is causing marshal issues

Deleting the game folder will not impact the save file

U have to open the save file location and delete it from there

[safe quail]

Oh to clear this up btw, the Main program in any given project is just where the functions are stored, so most things happen in Main, but issues that trace back to Main are probably caused by code elsewhere that a function in Main is pulling from

[faint bay]

Fixed thank you

[safe quail]

Dope

[covert thunder]

Hmmmm

[safe quail]

Hmm indeed

[covert thunder]

I skipped the intro and it loaded, but I fear that encountering a Raidabra might just zap me outta the game

[safe quail]

It probably would

It's good to know that skipping worked for u

Sometimes it doesn't

[covert thunder]

I'm gonna let the intro play again and see if I get the same error, then make a Raidabra to see if it happens in-game

[safe quail]

Normally I would recommend turning off download sprites, but this error doesn't seem familiar, ur game folder is called 5.0.36.2 when download sprites was added in 5.1.2.0, and I've recently been informed that issues can occur even if download sprites is turned off

What folder is ur game folder in

[covert thunder]

Same folder its always been in, I just finally patched it.

[safe quail]

Ok so it's not 5.0 anymore

?

[covert thunder]

Okay so this time the game loaded without issue

[safe quail]

Also I ask because the Downloads folder and the OneDrive folder have both been known to mess with the game's file organization

[covert thunder]

Intro played through and I'm loading my game

[safe quail]

So if they're in there that could be one issue

[covert thunder]

Aye, I've had the same conversation with a few people. It's not just OneDrive - any folder with automatic cloud backup upsets the game

[safe quail]

Correct

[brittle haven]

I've recently encountered this issue. I don't know how this happened and how to fix this.

[sterile pivot]

I need help please; I can't fullscreen the game or change the window size without it turning completely black and not coming back until I restart it

[covert thunder]

I think RPGMaker games don't like their files being accessed whilst they're trying to access them

[safe quail]

Ur save is incompatible with the current version of the game

[safe quail]

Are u changing the window size from the in-game option menu?

[covert thunder]

Save data corruption, no real fix other that deleting save file

[safe quail]

That's not corrupted necessarily

A different/older version may be able to run that save

[sterile pivot]

I've tried it both ways, using the menu and just changing window size

[safe quail]

I see. I don't know of a fix, sorry. U may be the only person I've seen bring this problem up

[covert thunder]

I presume it's corruption because it seemingly just happened at random, but maybe that was an assumption too far

[covert thunder]

Did you update your game files at all or did it happen at random?

[safe quail]

The error message for the typical corrupted save looks a bit different but I don't blame u for thinking that

[sterile pivot]

I can only use it in the tiny window; goes completely black if I try to make it bigger
