[spare ginkgo]

thanks for the help

earlier the game crashed without me saving lol

i had to redo all from the beginning

it did it when i was fusing 2 pokemon

[latent root]

how do i change keybinds on the alternate version?

[faint hedge]

My game is crashing every time I try to pick up my fossil at the lab. Any idea of a fix

[safe quail]

I've seen this circumvented by using the Cinnabar Lab instead

[rigid bramble]

This is My First time in the DEBUG menu how do you give your items

[faint hedge]

Hmm. But is my original omanyte fossil gone forever? 😦

[safe quail]

If uve saved over ur file from before u gave it to him maybe. U can get another after e4 p easily

[faint hedge]

ahh got it! I guess I'll just wait til post e4 then

[spare ginkgo]

I wanted to speed up the game like a sign said but it doesnt work whenever i press the spacebar

Doesn't it work anymore?

[safe quail]

Default keybind is Q

[spare ginkgo]

ooh thanks :3

[twin ravine]

Hi, having an issue with a sprite not loading into my game like it should be. Can some dm me if they know a way to fix

[lean ether]

I'm trying to play it on linux on a potato pc version 5.1.2.4(running on wine) but it crashes on an error of https download and complains on not being able to open graphics/indexed/int/int.int.png ... And of course it works the moment I reboot to start the game... Nevermind me.

[mint musk]

my alternate launcher is just a black screen, anyone know a fix?

[turbid terrace]

Hey @mint musk! 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.

[mint musk]

no matter how long I leave it

and there is no error when I click

[lean ether]

Now I got the error in the rival battle... Do I need to download all sprites for the links in this discord?

I spoilertagged it for possible spoiler reasons

[lean ether]

Sometimes it can let you wait for a few minutes... Wait a minute or ten by doing something else.

[jade folio]

still waiting for the update that lets you play on windows 10

[lean ether]

Wsl and install wine/playonlinux Kappa

[willow token]

is there any way to play the april fools chinchou version still?

seems like the download on the wiki is dead

[willow token]

im playing the game on win10, ive never seen this issue

[jade folio]

what version are you on

[jade folio]

I'm using win10 enterprise, the best version
and i meant of infinite fusion

[willow token]

oh lmao

my b

5.1.2.3

[sterile estuary]

I actually was running on 5.1.2 as is, I think there's just an current error where if you start in modern, before doing anything in classic, this error happens. After running classic and skipping the intro now that I could, it worked fine

[glossy hound]

Hey my Sprite pack 87 folder doesnt seem to contain custombattlers folder?

Any advise on how to update my spritepack?

[safe quail]

Yeah, it doesn't

Just take the sprites and put them in ur custombattlers folder in ur graphics folder

Be warned tho, 87 has had some formatting errors

[glossy hound]

i fixed that

[safe quail]

Some sprites won't get indexed, some sprites that will get indexed aren't named exactly properly and may cause the sprite to go blank or default to autogenerated sprites

[glossy hound]

custom battlers?

[safe quail]

Yes, but you should take your game out of your downloads folder so that it sorts properly

[glossy hound]

where do i find custom battlers tho?

[mystic remnant]

im getting this error when shuffling randomized pokemon. doesnt matter if it is at the start of creating a save (modern mode) or part way through a save talking to the man in black

[safe quail]

They'll be in that graphics folder

If u don't have a custombattlers folder then u are running on the light version and should be installing the 1-87 sprite pack

[safe quail]

Current version has issues running randos, only known fix is to turn off rando settings until u don't get any more errors

If u always get errors, u can't play rando on 5.1.2, will have to do it on 5.1.1

[mystic remnant]

okay thank you

[proper rivet]

Does the game have controller support? I tried to use my PS5 controller, which works with my steam games, but the Keybinding screen isn't recognizing my inputs.

[safe quail]

Changing the keybindings is weird, but if ur controller isn't getting picked up in general u can try launching from the alt launcher

[honest solar]

i'm trying to beat the pokedex, and i have a raikou, but its showing up as not caught
i put it in battle too
does this mean i can never complete the dex?

[safe quail]

No, ur fine

The issue is that u caught it as Raicune

Suicune was the body of that fusion, so when u unfused it u registered Suicune

To register Raikou u have to fuse it as the body of a fusion and then unfuse

[honest solar]

Ohhh gotcha, thanks so much dude

[winged jay]

why is my game a black screen for 10+secs after entering/exiting buildings and fights

[turbid terrace]

Hey @winged jay! 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]

Probably a hardware issue

U can try running from the alt launcher to help with load times

[winged jay]

i looked on reddit and others have the same thing

[safe quail]

The game is not well-optimized

[winged jay]

o

ill try alt launch

this helps a lot it goes from like 10+secs to mayb 3-5 secs thx

[safe quail]

Dope

[summer void]

I just had the same issue today with Battle tower. Tried to fly.. Tried to teleport away and my character is still invisible. Trying to debug with the guy in PC.. I'm just stuck invisible I guess ?

[safe quail]

You know I had the issue with my

opponents

Being invisible

[glossy hound]

I think i got it tysm

[safe quail]

And the clerks were invisible for a minute after I returned to the lobby

[safe quail]

Nice

But they fixed themselves once my dialogue boxes cleared

[safe quail]

Did u try using the debugger key item?

[summer void]

Found something.. I entered on the battle factory and it fixed itself.. Battle Tower is just broken to me

[safe quail]

Ok nice

[summer void]

Yep cant manage to make BT to work and it repeat the invisible character again

[jade folio]

fuck you, miracles are dead.

[brazen flint]

I just downloaded the game and copy and pasted the patch into the full. However, when I open the game it plays the beginning animation then shows this screen. Does anybody know if I did something wrong or if there's a fix?

[safe quail]

There's a typo in "...Battlers//124..." that is generated by a coding error in the download sprites feature

If u can't mash past the intro/title screen and turn that option off, the simplest solution would be to play on 5.1.1 until the next patch

[lone tiger]

I put the new February sprites folder into the graphics folder and reset my game but it didn't change any of the sprites

[safe quail]

If the sprites are not in the custombattlers folder in the graphics folder, they will not be recognized

[brazen flint]

ok thanks

[lone tiger]

So I drag the sprite pack folder into the custom battlers folder?

[safe quail]

No

If u are using the 87 sprite pack

U have to select all the sprites and copy them into the custombattlers folder

The instructions posted were for the 1-87 sprite pack

[mystic remnant]

slightly different error but same steps to cause now running 5.1.1

[safe quail]

Interesting

Ur on windows, u extracted the files, and they're not in ur downloads folder or cloud storage?

[mystic remnant]

correct

[safe quail]

What version of windows? Ur popup UI looks kind of old

[mystic remnant]

win 10 home ver 21H2

[safe quail]

Hm

Well I don't know what would be causing it here, u can keep trying older versions but 5.1.1 usually handles randos fine

The script error is very generic

And the undefined method makes me think that ur scripts are getting the wrong input for the battle, but idk why or how to fix that

[mystic remnant]

one sec

[brazen flint]

is it common for this screen to load for over five minutes on version 5.1.1?

[safe quail]

No, but if ur on mac and somehow not running thru wine then yea

Well, this doesn't really look like mac

But I don't recognize the taskbar UI

U on a laptop?

[brazen flint]

no I'm on desktop windows 11

[safe quail]

Weird

I've seen this issue a fair amount but I've never tried to trouble shoot it

This is 5.1.1.1 right? Sometimes 5.1.2 keeps the 5.1.1.1 on the title screen

[fair yoke]

Whenever I try to open the game these screens just come up

[safe quail]

Ur game files look very incomplete

[brazen flint]

yes. I downloaded 5.1.1.1 after that error popped up on the newest version

[fair yoke]

Those aren’t my game files on the left

[safe quail]

Take them out of ur downloads folder then

[safe quail]

I maybe wouldn't name urself ? cuz that can cause issues but I expect u did this without doing that before

[safe quail]

For u it's gonna be the same deal then, keep turning off rando settings until it works, and if it doesn't then it doesn't

[safe quail]

For u, I wanna see ur main game folder

[mystic remnant]

i hadnt tried that, ill do that now

[safe quail]

I don't think it's related to ur specific issue

Just good practice to avoid like ? or /, etc

Yea, this one. Ur missing some extraneous stuff, and it's kinda weird that u put ur .zip in here, but I think all ur data files are here

1 thing u are missing that is not extraneous is RGSSJ100.dll

Ull wanna grab that from the pins in this channel

[fair yoke]

I already have, and I already have the files it says I’m missing

[safe quail]

Yea I'm not concerned with u missing the files if that wasn't a screenshot of ur main game folder

But the game can fail to find those files if it's located in the downloads folder or in ur cloud storage

Ur most recent screenshot showed the full game folder was still in ur downloads folder which is why I asked u to move it

[latent root]

every time i do something in the pokemon menu, even just opening it causes the game to freeze for a little, how do i fix this?

[safe quail]

If u did still move it then u sent an old ss

[safe quail]

U can try changing from fused icons to DNA icons

[latent root]

how do i change that?

[safe quail]

Options

[latent root]

yup, it fixed, thank you

[safe quail]

Dope

[fair yoke]

It isn’t in my downloads folder but it’s still giving me the same messages

[safe quail]

Smth may have gone wrong with ur extraction, u can try re-extracting to not ur downloads folder and see if that helps

[brazen flint]

ok I downloaded it then copy and pasted it into the folder. I reopened the game and it's been stuck on that same screen for 2 or 3 minutes now.

[safe quail]

Otherwise, as long as ur on windows, ur running from the extracted files, and ur not running it from ur downloads folder, the game should have no trouble finding the files

[primal stratus]

Is there any way to bypass the mega downloads transfer quota? Or do I need to wait the 6 hours to finish the download?

[safe quail]

Ur trying to download the entire mega which is unnecessary

U can use the mediafire link in Xillo's bio

[primal stratus]

Thank you very much!

[safe quail]

Yeah, I don't see anything weird here aside from the missing optional stuff, not sure what's causing the issue

U can delete that image if u care ab people knowing ur name tho

Oh hang on

That folder location is in ur cloud storage, isn't it

Ull wanna move it out of there

Cloud storage and downloads folders don't work for the game

[brazen flint]

where do i move it

[safe quail]

Moving it onto ur actual desktop should be fine for now

Later u can create ur own directory for it or put it in documents

[manic wraith]

is there anyway to know how your file save gets corrupted?

[safe quail]

I'm not sure how that works yea

Same deal with ur name btw

U can move to the pinned desktop folder

That's below it

I think that's different

[brazen flint]

ok

[safe quail]

Corrupted saves will make themselves known when u boot the game typically

The game won't run if it recognizes a corrupted save

[brazen flint]

wait bbut it says its in the desktop folder below the cloud

[safe quail]

It's kinda acting like ur pc has no local storage

If u scroll down to where it says this PC

Is there a different desktop folder there lol

[manic wraith]

yeah that is what happened, I searched up fixes and looked over the pin. i just wanna know how maybe there is something i did that i can prevent i guess

[safe quail]

Can I see the error

There's a couple different marshal errors, if it's not the exact same message as the one in pins it might not be corrupted per se

[manic wraith]

it was line for line the one in the pinned i already deleted the save and all the game is working fine now

[safe quail]

I see

Had u updated from a previous version or did this happen randomly

[manic wraith]

Randomly

[safe quail]

So the save was from the same version of the game ur playing on

[manic wraith]

yes which is the latest version and i haven't played any other version of the game

[brazen flint]

I don' t think so. This is what it looks like if I'm just being a noob.

[manic wraith]

that is your hard drive you are on the right track

[safe quail]

Ok well go into ur C drive and try to put it in Documents, ig

[brazen flint]

ok

[safe quail]

What was the last thing u were doing in game and did u have magic boots

[manic wraith]

No magic boots, i had beaten blain and was exploring scarlet city

[safe quail]

u mean crimson city?

[manic wraith]

Yes!

[safe quail]

Did u notice anything weird there

Did u try and use the ability capsules u can buy there

[manic wraith]

one weird thing there is a swimming trainer between to little islands on the way to the Mawile waterfall. He was swimming in place but it was really weird. Like his animation was him moving but he was stuck in place. But i didn't do any ability capsules thing.

[safe quail]

Alright, afaik that swimming animation is normal, it's kinda supposed to look like he's treading water

[manic wraith]

oh okay. I'll just be more careful maybe i saved in a weird spot that the game didn't like.

[safe quail]

I don't know of anything there that would've corrupted ur save, as long as u weren't using magic boots or messing with cheat engine or pkhex, or editing ur files directly, there's not much else u can do

[manic wraith]

Alright! Thanks for listening and trying to problem solve with me I appreciate it!

[brazen flint]

if it is working how long should it take to load

[safe quail]

Ur PC specs seem kinda on the low end but I would think smth's not working if it took more than 5 minutes

[safe quail]

Btw I haven't noticed this guy ur talking ab on my save, did u try talking to him

There's no one up here or to the right, either

[mystic remnant]

are you familliar with the code?

[manic wraith]

He is before the house

[safe quail]

Yea not on my file

[safe quail]

What code, just the general game code

[manic wraith]

oh that is really weird

[mystic remnant]

thats where its giving that error

[safe quail]

Yea I told u, that's a very generic error

That function is only called when the script already raised a flag elsewhere

[mystic remnant]

alright

[safe quail]

The entire purpose of the function is to say there was an error here

Ud have to poke around in the other files in the traceback, and if there are constants that are going wrong, they may be somewhere that isn't mentioned

[mystic remnant]

ill take a look

[latent root]

how do i change keybinds?

[safe quail]

I don't think ull be able to understand or find anything fixable

But gl

[safe quail]

F1 on keyboard, doesn't let u change keybinds for controller unless maybe if u use the alt launcher

[latent root]

my f1 opens a new tab, and it doesnt work to change keybinds

[safe quail]

New tab in what, as long as ur focused on the game it should perform game-specific functions

[humble wagon]

Hey there, new to custom sprites. I found one for mewtwo online but there is no download? I am not sure how to apply these.

Also curious about how to use Customer Trainer Sprites.

[latent root]

microsoft edge, and it just minimizes the game and goes to microsoft edge

[safe quail]

Strange, I use edge and have not encountered this issue

If u can't do that u may be able to open the keybindings.mkxp1 directly

There's 1 in ur savefile location and 1 in ur data folder somewhere, idk which the game uses

[safe quail]

I don't understand ur situation, u found but don't have the files for the mewtwo trainer sprite?

[humble wagon]

https://kaboom242.github.io/PokemonInfiniteFusionTool/?id=315

[humble wagon]

Thats the link I am using, I found the sprite I want but if I click on it does not download. It's just an image.

[safe quail]

Ok this is the fusion spritechart for arceus, not mewtwo, but if u want to download one u have to right click and use save image as

[latent root]

i cant open the mkxp files

[safe quail]

yea nor can I

Idk then

I just use defaults

[humble wagon]

Okay I thought so and thats fine I am trying to fuse them and got the wrong sprite. So which folder do I add it to?

[safe quail]

Graphics > Custombattlers, when u boot the game it should recognize the sprite and ask u if u want to import it

[humble wagon]

I thought so since I have the custom pack, first time getting one by itself. Do I need to rename it anything specific? The sprite image?

[safe quail]

The sprite appears to be named correctly in the website, but if there is already a custom sprite present it will be overwritten unless u name this as an alt sprite

If u don't care ab that then u don't have to change it

[humble wagon]

You're amazing! Thank you 🙂

[safe quail]

np

[humble wagon]

Oh btw, if I do want to use an alt in the future do I just add "alt" to the file name?

[safe quail]

No, u would add an "a"

Like 315.150a.png

If there's already a file named that u would name it 315.150b.png

Etc.

[humble wagon]

Okay cool, thank you so much!

[safe quail]

U were also asking about custom trainer sprites, u would have to manually replace each spritemap the game uses for ur character sprite

If u search trainer sprite, ull see a post from the bot that tells u where the spritemaps should go and what they should be named

[fair yoke]

I got it working

[safe quail]

So re-extracting worked or u tried anything else?

Either way good to hear

[humble wagon]

When you say "Search" where do I enter the info? The top right?

[safe quail]

yea

[humble wagon]

Do you know where I can trainer sprite maps?

[safe quail]

There are a few in the 1-87 sprite pack

In the Other folder

[humble wagon]

Okay thank you I will take a look! tysm

[lone tiger]

So I imported all the new sprites & the game asked me to change them I said yes, but the sprites are still the same?

I went back to the sprites folder and all the sprites I put in are now gone?

[safe quail]

So that second thing is supposed to happen

[lone tiger]

Aight

[safe quail]

When u boot the game and import the new sprites, they're all shuttled away into that indexed folder

If ur using the 1-87 sprite pack, it contains every sprite ever made, including the ones in the game, so if it already had a custom sprite, it may not change automatically. Ud have to go into ur pokedex and see if the game will let u swap the sprites

The main issues would be if ur autogen sprites aren't changing when u expect them to, or if some of ur sprites went blank

If ur only adding the 87 pack, not the 1-87 pack, there's been some minor formatting discrepancies that can cause issues with the pokedex

In order to fix that, u would have to locate the sprite in its proper index and make sure it's not called "14.5a.png" when there is no "14.5,png," or "14.5b.png" when there is no "14.5a.png," etc.

[lone tiger]

I figured a way on how to change the sprite ty

[turbid terrace]

Hey @sterile pivot! 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]

Not sure

I just play windowed

[fossil dock]

i have a question i just got the game and i also added the custom sprites like it says but what do i do with the folders other and unfused icons from the sprite pack

[safe quail]

u would have to replace some files manually to use most of those

they're fine to leave out

[pliant pond]

so i noticed you can choose multiple sprites as an option in the game and i see some files have (number.number(letter)). is it possible to place the lettered alts into their respected folders and work?

[safe quail]

Assuming they are lettered correctly, yes

If there are gaps in ur alphabet it causes issues

[fossil dock]

ok

[rustic inlet]

my game keeps freezing every time I try to fuse, is there a fix to this?

[brazen flint]

Sorry it's been a while, I had to do something. I was the person from about an hour ago where my desktop was in my cloud and the game wouldn't load past the dark screen after the beginning animation. I was able to remove part of my desktop from the cloud, to where it looks like this. However, I am still having the same issue.

the new folder has the game files in it

[warm raven]

when i finished downloading the game the file was Shown as Unconfirmed.crdownload

[safe quail]

Right... so if ur having the same issue, and ur files are properly on local storage now, I would suggest moving the .zip file into the New Folder and performing a new extraction. Doing it fresh in local storage may help with file organization

[brazen flint]

ok, I'll try that

[safe quail]

If ur on Edge or Chrome the browser may be asking u to confirm the download

[warm raven]

How would i know

it doesn't state anything like that

[safe quail]

There would be a download icon with a smaller blue icon around the top right corner of ur browser window, or smth similar in that location

[warm raven]

Dont see anything

[safe quail]

where u downloading from

[warm raven]

Mega

well browser is chrome

[safe quail]

Mega is fine

And the download went fine so far?

[warm raven]

Yeah, it just has a blue ring around the download file

and the download wont finisj

[safe quail]

When I did a test download just now on windows from chrome it automatically opened file explorer asking me to select save location and file name

[warm raven]

hmmm

ill do a redownload, also your computer is sooo much faster than mine lol

[safe quail]

I just downloaded the patch so it would be faster

[warm raven]

ill do that rq

my download for steam worked fine

[safe quail]

Steam has a default filepath and asks u where to download before starting, and doesn't go thru Chrome, so the issue could be either ur browser settings or file explorer

[warm raven]

ah

the patch finally is downloading as a winzip file, might have solved the problem idk

[safe quail]

Alright then

[warm raven]

nope

I'll try on explorer

[latent root]

im trying to fuse a pidgeotto and clefairy and this keeps popping up

[safe quail]

Ur doing it backwards

Select fuse on the first mon then select the second

[latent root]

ok

[safe quail]

Moving the first mon to the second and then pressing fuse doesn't work

My guess is that u get the default menu for selecting a pokemon, only difference is that move is replaced with shift, so when u press fuse it tries to pick up the other mon, but then u have 2 mons u would be moving around and it gives up

[sterile pivot]

Soooooooo im using a controller and when i use f1 to swap controlls when i press b on my controller it thinks im pressing space am i missing something?

[safe quail]

Messing with keybinds is kinda awkward, especially on controller

The alt launcher typically has better controller support and people have had better luck with keybinds when launching from there

[brazen flint]

It's still not working. Here's my folder again if there's a file missing.

[sterile pivot]

It isnt like its anything major its just slightly annoying, i will give that a go though thank you very much!!!!!!

[wind pulsar]

I've gotten the game up and running on Mac (via wineskin), but I'm trying to connect to it with Cheat Engine and failing. I'm wondering if I need to install Cheat Engine inside the wineskin, or if I'm just selecting the wrong process with CE. Does anyone have experience with this?

[safe quail]

Ur missing some extras the game doesn't use to run, but I think that's just how it is on legacy versions. If u extracted to a local desktop location, ur running on a windows computer, and ur not missing anything important, my only guess is that your PC may not be powerful enough to run it

[brazen flint]

ok 😦

[fleet minnow]

Guys i have a problem where when my game tries to load some pokemon fusion sprites it takes an insane amount of time, like a few minutes. Any idea what the cause of this problem is?

[safe quail]

Yeah, that's probably the download sprites feature

If ur not on the light version u can turn that off

[fleet minnow]

Yeah it worked thank you👍

[safe quail]

Dope

[gritty relic]

im trying to launch from my steam deck, i had it working before but now after the green loading screen does away it just stays black, any ides? I did try and install the sprite pack if that is relevant

[safe quail]

Someone else was messing with the steam deck, not sure how that ended up going for them

Didn't look good when I last saw them

[gritty relic]

i closed it out and got the rgss script stuck

[turbid terrace]

Hey @gritty relic! 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]

If it never goes away, that's typically a hardware issue

[gritty relic]

it was working before i had updated it so ill try just letting it sit for awhile and see

[safe quail]

Out of curiosity, which sprite pack, and what .zip did u get from the mega

[gritty relic]

the main one from the main link and v5 i think is what it's updated to

[safe quail]

The main one means the full version, not light?

[gritty relic]

yeah the full

[safe quail]

How confident are u in how u installed the sprite pack

[gritty relic]

i mean you just drop it in and merge it

[safe quail]

Ud be surprised how much trouble that causes for people

[gritty relic]

hm it's been sitting for awhile i dont think it's gonna work haha

if i download the most recent full version do i need to get the patch?

[safe quail]

no

The patch is for older versions

[gritty relic]

alright im gonna rebuilt it on my pc and then move the whole thing over to my steam deck

[warm raven]

its working with windows

[safe quail]

Dope

[warm raven]

I mean explorer

[safe quail]

Yea I didn't really understand that message, that makes more sense

[sterile pivot]

Sorry. I was not avalible when the item question was asked. ^^T

Um, how to add the items really. Is a good question, as I have not really messed with the debugger all that much to confirm. To get the items, you would go to an item menu I suppose.

Used only in my case for emergencies or when one gets stuck. ._. - usually common error problem. ^^T

Lets see....

If you were talking about how to add items. I really dont know really. ^^T

[gritty relic]

does this zip always take so long to unzip or is something wrong iwth my computer XD

[sterile pivot]

It takes a while really. Usually 7zip works.

I mean, depends on the amount of files. ._.

replacing and such takes time. or finding what matches.

I mean, each one or older version must contain at least 60K files right?

xD

Sometimes I wonder about default setup. ._.

I mean the format for much. How the gen folders change.

[gritty relic]

its got like 221k files but 220 kb\s seems really slow lol

[sterile pivot]

Yes. that does seem slow. I get mbs at least. ^^ depends on pc processing maybe

[gritty relic]

idk what it is, usually it's way faster

[sterile pivot]

I don't know as a default scripter or setup, because this is essentials, if SDK should be used with essentials. Or if it just comes by itself. Has anyone thought about this? nods.

Or do they do the same thing?

Essentials seems easy to set up. More likely. ^^T

I mean it is ruby script after all. But is confused on how to work with much of ruby. ^^T Maybe its just me or trial and error.

If anyone knows how to run RVpacker on windows or has a tool, please let us know. ^^T

I mean, it always helps to understand scratch when working with Ruby. ^^T

[safe quail]

My extractor was also very slow

But I was being dumb and not using 7-zip which I have installed

[sterile pivot]

As is mine, which takes about 15 minutes. ^^ but 7zip was faster I think.

It has to do with file replace, rather than keeping the files of each

it scans for the files or checks.

[gritty relic]

so question, the instrucions say to drop the custom battler folder into the main folder, the sprite pack just has loose sprites in it, so do i just drop all the loose sprites into the custombattler folder in the main folder?

[sterile pivot]

I think so. ._. There was some instructions that said drop custom sprites here. ^^T

[gritty relic]

yeah i see in the folder there is file that says so lol

do i need to drop the other folder in too or is that just extra stuff?

[sterile pivot]

I think it could be extra, though unsure about data folders and all that.

Like the default I think for a new project with SDK would be.... lets see.... if we are using essentials.... should be similar concept. ^^T

Um.... maybe

[patent flare]

getting this error every time i enter the hidden tomb

[sterile pivot]

No song called lavender town.

[patent flare]

it crashes the game too

[sterile pivot]

I see.

Just find the appropriate audio file? ^^T

And I guess, lets see.

[patent flare]

is it possible its trying to call a song without the extension and thus is failing?

[sterile pivot]

ENOENT?

Might be.

[safe quail]

No

[sterile pivot]

What is the extension? Or does one have the song?

Could just be a missing file.

[safe quail]

Hey ur audio problems are finally breaking the game

Congrats, and I'm sorry

[patent flare]

i have the Lavender Town.mp3 file which plays fine in Lavender Town

[patent flare]

uh oh

that sounds bad

[sterile pivot]

There should be no problem with the audio file. Though maybe try converting it to Ogg? ^^T if that is a case?

if the program data does not read a certain codec on machine

or....

if so you have the media driver or codec on your pc.

that could lead to ERONet.

if not having

[patent flare]

i'm playing on mac using Wine lol

[safe quail]

The instructions are for the 1-87 pack which has the custombattlers folder. If ur using the 87 sprite pack, there is no custombattlers and the sprites are loose, like u said. In this instance, u just need to copy the sprites into ur custombattlers folder in ur graphics folder. This is the normal method of importing sprites, ur just doing a lot of them at once

[sterile pivot]

That could be why. Mac conflict maybe.

[gritty relic]

ah okay so the newest just has everything loose got it

the others folder in the 87 pack is that something i need ?>

[safe quail]

However, the 87 pack also has some formatting errors, so some sprites with alternate sprites available may end up not showing or coming up blank

[sterile pivot]

I mean, the codec needs to be in the pc.

for the file to be read.

[safe quail]

Nah the others folder is not important

[gritty relic]

i did add in the update pack that was released for the bidoof ones

[safe quail]

That will help with the file extension errors

But some of them are named improperly

[sterile pivot]

This is quite interesting. ^^T Audio errors seem like a pain. ^^T and yes.

[safe quail]

Like u might have 148.5a without there being a 148.5

It's a small error that's easy to fix but there are seemingly a lot of them

[gritty relic]

T_T

[patent flare]

unfortunately this didnt work

[sterile pivot]

They will be fixed. ^-^ These are simple errors and some dont seem to repeat themselves often

I see.

So you have the file?

Ok.....

maybe, it could be the song associated?

or the execution of that one song.

[patent flare]

yeah, the only difference is that it is named Lavender Town.ogg and not lavender town.ogg

[sterile pivot]

I see. it could be not the type of file. But the song itself?

[patent flare]

the .mp3 version of the song plays fine

[sterile pivot]

I mean if the game locates it, should the song not download with it? if using online version.

Okay.

[safe quail]

For the record, I'm pretty sure the error message ENOENT means "Error, No Entity," which just means it can't find the file

[patent flare]

and i created the mp3 from the game's base .ogg

[safe quail]

Which we already knew

[patent flare]

so is it looking for lavender town (no file extension)?

[sterile pivot]

maybe so.

[patent flare]

i am trying with the lowercase name

[sterile pivot]

Try to disregard the suffix

meaning try just making it a raw file.

[safe quail]

It could be, but there could be a function to locate anything named that regardless of the file extension

I doubt that's the case

But who knows

[sterile pivot]

and see if that works.

[patent flare]

okay the lowercase name thing did work

[sterile pivot]

I dont know the case either, but it works sometimes.

oh.

congrats on fix I suppose.

[patent flare]

i guess it really needed a lowercase for some reason

[safe quail]

Hey alright

Yea stuff can be case-sensitive for programs

[patent flare]

now i can get duskull hehe

[sterile pivot]

I think I know why, I was missing shadow mons. xD - Solved it, but was missing a previous script from an early version.

xD

Has to do with data folder associations.

version.

[safe quail]

It was probably shaved since they're mechanics we don't use normally

[sterile pivot]

So true. ^^T

I really liked the shadow mons though. Colleseum was such a good game. xD

well, story line was a classic

even if the moves were bleh

xD

It was the purify chamber that got me though on here

XD

I mean, there is a script that says one can make a shadow mon. o.o quite interesting.

But if the game does not use the mechanics... I question sometimes.

oh well.

[twin ravine]

so, i may have accidently thrown my amulet coin away. anyone know a way to add another one

[safe quail]

Not in-game

[sterile pivot]

debugger, or item menu. ._. - it is not in the game sadly. ^^T

not an extra.

[twin ravine]

well yeah, but like actually how

[safe quail]

U would turn on debug mode and add the item back

[twin ravine]

debug mode is after completing dex correct?

[safe quail]

Normally, yes

[twin ravine]

how can i turn on sooner

[safe quail]

Editing some data scripts

[sterile pivot]

Yep.

I covered (well someone else sort of covered that one.)

although I did not exactly show how to use the debug menu. ._.

Some have more programming experience or have completed game.

So I am giving others a chance. ^^T

[twin ravine]

lol im just really struggling on money as it is and i refig'd hotkeys and pressed wrong button lol

[sterile pivot]

Oh well. (sorry about the issue with money.) xD

[safe quail]

Depending on where u are, u can get money from an infinite money loop in-game

[sterile pivot]

could try challenging trainers.

yep

[twin ravine]

im about to fight koga

[safe quail]

Rematching trainers doesn't provide money

[sterile pivot]

repeat battle

oh it doesnt? Only exp.

Oh

[safe quail]

Yea

[twin ravine]

yup

[sterile pivot]

woops.

[safe quail]

Once ur able to surf u can perform the loop

U will also need like

20k money

To get it started

[twin ravine]

cool

[sterile pivot]

How does the investment or loop work?

Im curious.

xD

[safe quail]

U buy Mankey Paws in Saffron City at night for 19,600, then u sell them in Crimson City and then wait in the hotel for 24hrs and repeat. Each time u sell them, the sell price increases by 1k, up to around 50k

[sterile pivot]

Oh wow! ._.

So when you sell it, the price increases.

but by how much time would it take per the item? I mean, surely you would be tired by then with the 50K-X invest.

^^T

[twin ravine]

based on my quick math

you start to be able to buy multiple

and it goes fast

[safe quail]

I think when u sell all at once it's for the same price

It's the waiting that lets u raise the price

Not sure, haven't tried

I can actually just go do it right now and see

[sterile pivot]

Oh, ok. So you just wait for time to go by and the item increases. pretty much right?

the cost or price received from sell

I guess in simple terms besides stock I suppose

[safe quail]

Ok so u can only sell 1 per day

But u can just buy multiple and wait in the hotel a bunch

[sterile pivot]

I see. That makes a little more sense. ^^T I thought it was the price increase. ^^T Or if it involves waiting in the hotel and paying 50$ per night that was confusing whereas.... well you know.

Faster way to pass the time = more sell.

^^T

[twin ravine]

so another question, a little more tech actually, some of my sprites arent working. i have downloaded the sprite folder but they wont show up in game

[safe quail]

What did u do with the sprite folder after downloading and extracting

[twin ravine]

if you mean once i open the game, i selected to use them

[safe quail]

I don't

I mean where did u move the files from inside the sprite pack

[sacred heron]

I am trying to download Sprite Pack 87, and I wish to follow the download instructions. However, the instructions tell me to drop the CustomBattlers folder into the game folder to replace the preexisting folder, but a new CustomBattlers folder isn't there, there is no folder in the pack called that.

[safe quail]

If u don't have a custombattlers folder, u copy all sprites into the existing custombattlers folder

The instructions are for sprite pack 1-87 that does contain the new custombattlers folder

[twin ravine]

i put them all into the custombattlers folder.

[sterile pivot]

And they will not show up.

[safe quail]

Can I see ur custombattlers folder

[twin ravine]

and when i look into the folder, the custom sprites are in the folder but just dont show in game

[sterile pivot]

Put the sprites outside of the folder where the instructions say put custom battlers here.

and some I mean game sprites...

go in battler as well

I think if game sprites.

[twin ravine]

what youwanna see

[sterile pivot]

usually the debugger goes up to 9999999.

and yes.

[safe quail]

I just want a screenshot of the folder contents

[sterile pivot]

the screenshot will do

^^T

[twin ravine]

there is alot lol

[safe quail]

Just the first page is fine

[safe quail]

ok, this is normal

Which sprite in particular is giving u issues

[sterile pivot]

Yes. ._. could it be a messed up sprite number?

or compatible difference?

[twin ravine]

the charizard/ crobat in particular

[safe quail]

dex crobat

[turbid terrace]

Crobat's IF Pokédex number is 169!

[safe quail]

Gimme a sec

Is this 87 or 1-87 btw

[sterile pivot]

That could be why. I think. 1-87 and custom or game sprites are different maybe

This one was indexed. I suppose.

[twin ravine]

this on to be exact

[safe quail]

Thanks

Where did u find this sprite

[twin ravine]

top left folder in alts

[sterile pivot]

Was it from an earlier version? or the calculator? ^^T

[safe quail]

And is it still in the alts folder

[twin ravine]

yes

[sterile pivot]

that could be why.

[safe quail]

Pull it into ur custombattlers folder

When u boot the game it'll get sorted into the index

However, it's labeled as 169.6a, so it won't automatically replace the existing sprite

U will have to go to ur pokedex and switch the sprites there

[twin ravine]

yeah ill find and move over if it there

ill check in a sec

[sterile pivot]

So what is the numbering order for much, or is that automatic? I mean the symbols for like if a pokemon has _0 or _a. suffix or _b?

I mean is there like a sprite sorting method?

I understand missing sprites issues. Usually.

these are gotten by the download version of game sometimes.

[safe quail]

The additional letters label the sprite as an alternate sprite. If a 169.6 already exists, the game will recognize the 169.6a as an alternate sprite in the pokedex

[sterile pivot]

ah. Ok.

[safe quail]

It does have to go in order tho, if u have 169.6a and then 169.6c, the game doesn't know what to do with the presumed 169.6b

[sterile pivot]

that makes sense.

[twin ravine]

well it was there now i gotta go pull him out to see if it worked

[safe quail]

yup

[sterile pivot]

Now it could be someway to test if it works in game. ^^T or just summon it some how.

usually because the pokemon chances of drawing it are not likely. ^^T

[safe quail]

If he's looking for this sprite specifically, odds are he owns the pokemon already

[sterile pivot]

when you got so many fusions. and yes.

I know the spirite is owned, but different when game tested.

xD

[safe quail]

Testing is about as simple as looking at the sprite in-game

Not the hardest

[twin ravine]

also, you can use the fusion website and it says the dex number in game

[sterile pivot]

Ah, so true

[twin ravine]

and yes it worked thanks

[safe quail]

Nice

[twin ravine]

so would i have to do that with them all?

[safe quail]

With everything located in the alts folder, yes

U could mass move everything in the alts folder to the custombattlers folder and let it index

[sterile pivot]

interesting.

[safe quail]

But that would overwrite all the default custom sprites in the instances where they aren't labeled as alt sprites

[sterile pivot]

Ouch.

Could we do a mass rename to solve that issue?

^^T

Or something.

without doing one by one?

[safe quail]

U could probably code an algorithm to append letters to the files in the alts folder, but there are already some alts in the main sprite pack that u would be overwriting then as well

[sterile pivot]

So true. 😦

I guess that is why the index.

or data folders extra.

I have a question, would the interface folder be included with XP or Pictures the main interface folder?

[safe quail]

The what folder

[sterile pivot]

If you use the folder interface.

It will use pictures maybe or make an interface instead of pictures.

^_^T

Something about that is questionable.

Um, I dont think that is included.

[safe quail]

I have no idea what you're asking, sorry

[sterile pivot]

Just an extra.

Well, if they have SDK or essentials scripts.

and.

I mean

Or just use the ones with the version?

I am curious how people even set it up. xD

[fair stream]

Hey lupus

[sterile pivot]

That was a bad way to phrase my question

[fair stream]

I have a question for you since nobody else in any other channel is gonna help

I got a Litwick Slakoth fusion from wonder trade and it just evolved into slaking and got Truant… how can I possibly change its ability to the other mon

this is baddddd

[safe quail]

u can't change abilities

Ability capsules are broken atm

[sterile pivot]

Was the pokemon fused when it was evolved?

[safe quail]

Oh to the other mon

[twin ravine]

easy thing you can do is breed then you split them

[fair stream]

yes to the other mon

[sterile pivot]

split it really.

and refuse

[safe quail]

U can't split a traded mon

U will have to breed it

[sterile pivot]

Your right

[twin ravine]

cant split until you breed

[fair stream]

😦

I spent all this time

leveling it up

[twin ravine]

lol

swap form?

[sterile pivot]

Without the debugger that would be hard. Only debug fixes that.

usually.

unless playing through game

breeding or the other level

cannot do it to trade mons.

[latent root]

my game lags really bad when i walk through grass, how do i fix this

[safe quail]

Ur already launching from the alt launcher right

[latent root]

yeah

[safe quail]

I think I told u to do that before

That's the only thing that would impact it, I think

[sterile pivot]

Some have tried a cheat engine speed hack. Or it could be pc settings. ^^T (does not use cheat engine for memory cheats.) But speeds the game at 7x or less. Anything above that crashes xp. someone said

[twin ravine]

how much ram is your game using

[sterile pivot]

So true

Random access memory yes.

[fair stream]

So if ability capsules get fixed I still won’t be able to change it?…

[safe quail]

U would

[fair stream]

oh

[safe quail]

But they're not fixed

[fair stream]

any time frame?

[safe quail]

We don't get to see the backend, so no

[fair stream]

gotcha

well thanks

[sterile pivot]

They might be fixed later or so, but unsure of the time frame about item fixes. ^^T

[latent root]

like in task manager?

[fair stream]

guess im going to breed now

[sterile pivot]

Backend is unsure compared to client side.

I mean that is what an interface was for. ^^T

but the problem,

[twin ravine]

yeah

[sterile pivot]

yeah....

yep

[latent root]

like 1400 MB

[sterile pivot]

I am unsure if that is a conflict with sdk and essentials or doing same thing.

^-^T just different formats.

[iron ingot]

i cant unfuse my pokemons

not traded

i cant even use the reverses either

wait

i think ive fixed it

[safe quail]

How so

[iron ingot]

its cuz my dumb ass kept spamming and since no was the first thing when fusing before yes it didnt fuse or unfuse

[safe quail]

Oh, right

[twin ravine]

who does that 😮

[fair stream]

can someone explain how breeding works

[twin ravine]

two pokemon make love

and make a baby

[fair stream]

haha very funny

I meant with fusions

and egg groups

[twin ravine]

if you mean fusion

you get said fusion if using ditto

[fair stream]

but I don’t have one

[twin ravine]

then go get one

[fair stream]

so how do I find a mon in the right egg group as my fusion

[twin ravine]

pretty easy

[fair stream]

I don’t have secret garden unlocked

I didn’t do the 2nd rival fight at the beginning

[twin ravine]

rip

[fair stream]

so

how do fusions and egg groups work

I need to find something that will breed with my Slaking/Litwick

pls help

[twin ravine]

id assume it using the bodies egg group

but dont quote me on that

[fair stream]

Is that even an egg group?

The human shaped one?

[twin ravine]

do you know how fusions work...

[fair stream]

I believe so

why

[twin ravine]

2 parts, head and body

so who is the body

[fair stream]

right

slaking

slaking has the body

[twin ravine]

so what egg group is slaking in

[fair stream]

field

I tried breeding it with a houndour who is in field, and it didn’t work

[twin ravine]

gender?

[fair stream]

the fusion is genderless

and I chose a male houndour

[twin ravine]

might be the issue then. because of it being genderless i dont think you can breed that

[fair stream]

god damnnittttttt

if only I could get a ditto

[twin ravine]

i mean why didnt you lol

[fair stream]

I didn’t know secret garden existed until it was too late

[twin ravine]

me neither, i just always dot hat fight

[fair stream]

Me too I’m just dumb and forgot

why do some fusions start as genderless

[dull bloom]

Is there a way to check alt sprites on the shiny calculator?

[rough idol]

you can put your own images into it

click the "Non-shiny" image

[dull bloom]

So I have to manually change it?

[tight nest]

Has anyone had an issue with the main launcher deleting itself?

[dull bloom]

Ngl it would be more convenient if it had an alt option but I guess it might crash the calculator

[safe quail]

Someone had an issue with all the game files deleting themselves

Not sure why and after they downloaded again they were good to go

[tight nest]

For me it's just the main launcher, but the alternate one doesn't work and it seems to have locked the whole folder beyond admin restrictions

And after re-downloading the same problem happened only a day later

[safe quail]

"Beyond" admin meaning even admin perms aren't getting u in?

[tight nest]

Yeah

[safe quail]

Where u download from

[tight nest]

Thats a good question

[safe quail]

What

[tight nest]

Pokecommunity it's called

[safe quail]

ok so the mega, then

[tight nest]

Sure

[safe quail]

And what browser

[tight nest]

Oh God Microsoft edge I think? Idk I'm using a machine from the last millenia

[safe quail]

I used edge with no issues so that should be fine

[tight nest]

I assume my computer just ate it

[safe quail]

I ask bc downloads from Opera GX appear to be viruses

[tight nest]

I couldn't imagine where I got it from would have been a link to a virus so I think that's cool

[safe quail]

yeah not sure how that works

Unfortunately not sure how ur problem works either

Last time we kinda just scratched our heads at it til it went away

[tight nest]

Well you helped me understand I'll probably just have to sit and download for another half an hour, its just frustrating because this time just unzipping the file a third time didn't give me the launch file back

[twin ravine]

question, stance change, ik no visual change but does it change stats?

[twin ravine]

so i got some claws how i increase price? just sleep in hotel?

[rigid nimbus]

The game spends 5-10 seconds on a black screen everytime I load a new zone. Would playing in light mode fix this? Will I still be able to use custom sprites if I just enable autodownload in light mode?

[turbid terrace]

Hey @rigid nimbus! 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.

[tight nest]

Downloaded the light version this time around, kept my save, so far so good.

[astral rover]

has anyone figured out a fix to not getting any wild encounters?

isee other people have had these issues and am wondering if a fix has been found. it happened to me after getting t he patch, which I've seen others share the same experience

[spiral spruce]

rerandomize

[astral rover]

sorry, how do I do that?

[spiral spruce]

the guy in the black suit on the second floor of the pokecenter

[astral rover]

i'll give. that a go. thank you

@spiral spruce hi, could I ask which particular options i should select to "rerandomize?" is it reshuffle wild pokemon?

[true trench]

Thats what i did

All of the custom sprites I added suddenly disappeared. Is there a way to get them back? I literally spent hours downloading them

[astral rover]

@true trench Your sprites disappeared after randomizing? or is that a separate issue

[true trench]

A separate issue sorry

[astral rover]

no problem

ty

it worked! thanks a lot @spiral spruce and @true trench !

[true trench]

No problem

Im assuming im just gonna have to re-download everything. When i opened the Custom Battlers folder its just back to the stock ones that were there originally. Everything was working fine but a Absol/Gardivoir sprite didn't show up so i went to the pokedex to change and and suddenly everything is gone

[astral rover]

I think you would have to redownload them, though it is weird that that happened. I'm no expert though

[true trench]

Id want to know what happened at least

Ill re-download everything just to have it happen again

[astral rover]

Here's a new one for me. Error that's showing up whenever I try to teleport somewhere on the map, then crashes my game. Anyone know a fix?

[astral rover]

Yeah, true. I hope someone can help

[solid crypt]

Have you tried turning off the auto download option? Looks like it might be failing

[true trench]

Im a but confused though because one of my party menbers still has a custom skin i imported but its not in a folder anywhere anymore

The custom skins that are downloaded are all here but ones i added specifically arent in my folder

[solid crypt]

If you put the DL'd sprites into custom battlers folders, it should ask what you want to do with them when you first launch the game. If you choose to overwrite the original files, it should be in the battlers folder

[true trench]

Whats the difference between the Battlers and Custom Battlers then?

[solid crypt]

I think Custom Battlers is just a staging area. I assume any sprites left in there are for upcoming updates or the newest version which I cannot use

[true trench]

Im sorry if im not really making sense lol

[solid crypt]

Alts folder is where all of the custom sprites are kept if you are looking for that

[turbid terrace]

Hey @solid crypt! 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!

[rough idol]

battlers is the base unfused mons and the autogens, custombattlers is for custom sprites

[true trench]

So they get kinda shuffled into those folders? The absol custom one seemed to break and when i saw the folder empty I assumed the worst tbh

[rough idol]

i dont think they get put into battlers? they should just go to the index

[true trench]

If thats the case though i guees i shouldnt have anything to worry about?

[true trench]

Youre right i just misunderstood

[solid crypt]

Everytime I put something into custom battlers, it gets sorted into some other folder once I launch the game

[true trench]

I never realized it would automatically shuffle them into the folders

[rough idol]

ye, the indexed folders

[true trench]

Thank you for teaching me how that worked. I would have tried to download everything all over again for no reason

[solid crypt]

So you did find all your DL'd ones?

[true trench]

Also i love your pfp

[rough idol]

ty

[true trench]

Yeah i checked a few folders and found some i knew i had added so ill asume its all good. I did have to re-download that one absol one but it seems to be working now. For some reason when i downloaded it a few times it didnt work and i had to try different uploads of it til it did work

It was the 2B looking absol/gardivoir skin. It was probably just something on my end

[idle star]

How would I transfer a pre existing save file from another device to PC? or is that not an option to do

[solid crypt]

What is the other device? depends if you can access it's save file location

[astral rover]

with some detective worked i realize the game error must be telling me my Kingdra/slowbro custom sprite is not in the custom battlers folder? hence it crashing when i try to teleport with said pokemon?

[idle star]

I started playing on Joiplay as my laptop was out of commision, but I've since gotten it back up and running so was hoping I could just replace the folders VIA drag n drop

[astral rover]

which means i have to find the sprite and put it back in?

[solid crypt]

Did you try turning off the sprite auto download option first?

[astral rover]

oh maybe not hang on

will try now

ugh i dont get when to say yes or no to those pre game questions

what does that do for me to turn it off

[solid crypt]

It won't check for new sprites, you'll have to manually download new ones

[true trench]

Itll probably keep you from getting conflicting downloads from now on

[solid crypt]

I can't even use the newest version, so that's how I play anyway

[true trench]

Tbh i feel like its best that way.

When you get into this game youll probably see them as they get posted and download them yourself already

I just turned mine off

[solid crypt]

I'm constantly searching #sprite-gallery for the coolest combos, and checking out the newest posts

[true trench]

Yeah i got into this about a week ago and its amazing how creative people are

[astral rover]

so I said no. teleport works now, but now im missing all my custom sprites lol

[solid crypt]

You'll still have all the ones you've already DL'd

It just won't auto check every battle, and it seems every teleport

Oh, well I might be wrong, I haven't used that version

what folder did you check @true trench ?

[true trench]

Hmm it looks like my customa are still working and i turned off my auto download

[astral rover]

Do i have the "light" version of the patch if i can download from the internet? or can full patch allow that as well

[true trench]

Theyre still in the custombattlers folder

I downloaded the full version so im not sure personally

[solid crypt]

IIRC that's full patch only that can do that

[astral rover]

okay ... then that's confusing yeah. i turned download back on, then when i tried to check my party it crashed. when i look custom battlers folder, all of the downloaded ones are still there

[true trench]

I wish I could help you with that, maybe try removing and re-downloading the skin thats giving you the issue

Thats what i had to do although the issues we had were different since mine just wasnt showing up and yours is causing a crash

[astral rover]

ty I appreciate that. I'll mess around with it and see if I can fix it. glad you got your issue solved though!

[solid crypt]

If you'd like, I could send you that exact png that's causing you issues

[astral rover]

what would that be?

[solid crypt]

according to your error pic, its 230.80.png

[astral rover]

but when i look in my custom battlers, I see that the png is in there

that's the kingdra/slowbro

[solid crypt]

Are you perhaps getting a different crash screen now that you've turned off the DL option?

[astral rover]

I dont get a crash screen now. I just don't have custom sprites

the message i get when booting up the game is something like "seemsl ike you are missing custom sprites would you like to download via internet?"

[idle star]

Gave it a whirl and my laptop just mad froze up so probably a no go, guess i'll stick to what works for now haha

[crystal folio]

i try to start up the game and this pops up
what does it mean bro idk this stuff 😭

[stoic sigil]

There is a bug in the sprite downloading feature that should get fixed in the next patch. For now, I recommend getting the full version and turning off sprite downloading

[inner shuttle]

Anybody got any help?

i reinstalled some things and programs but now i can't open IF

[crystal folio]

how do i turn off sprite downloading

[stoic sigil]

In game under options

[crystal folio]

the popup opens right after the very first animation ends

i cant do anything ingame

[stoic sigil]

Ooh, then download the full version, extract the folder Graphics from it and copy-paste that into the game folder, replacing existing files when prompted

[stoic sigil]

Can you show your game folder please?

[crystal folio]

now it's playing the background music with this screen, does it just take a while to load?

[inner shuttle]

this is also after i replaced all the older files except for graphics for the 5.1 download of IF

which now has ended up with the same screen as Sung has

[sterile pivot]

Hello, I have a question. Is there any possibility to prevent the game to save in the roaming folder?

[stoic sigil]

I believe the bot has something to say about a black screen on startup

[turbid terrace]

Hey @stoic sigil! 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.

[stoic sigil]

That's not the one I had in mind

[stoic sigil]

Try and give it some time first and pressing A ('C' on keyboard), then if it doesn't progress, try the alt launcher to see if you get past that point

[stoic sigil]

Sounds like you should try removing the game files and getting a fresh install from #downloads, if the same tricks I gave to sung don't work out. Your saves are located elsewhere, they'll be fine

[inner shuttle]

alright then, but i have a problem when i reinstall the sprites

because when i do that, it removes everything from my desktop

Like first of all it takes forever, and then like 90% of the icons on my desktop disappear

[stoic sigil]

...where is your game located in?

[inner shuttle]

well on a folder on the desktop on my other screen

[crystal folio]

this popped up when i used the alt launcher

[stoic sigil]

That's a missing sprite, you didn't get the sprites yet like I initially instructed?

[stoic sigil]

It shouldn't have anything to do with your desktop icons. Just try deleting the game files and starting over with the full version, that'll probably fix it. And if not, move the game folder somewhere else (local, non-cloud), like your local Documents

[inner shuttle]

alright, i'll try that

[crystal folio]

is this the one i gotta download? cuz i've already done that

[stoic sigil]

In that case, what are you using to extract?

[crystal folio]

winrar

[stoic sigil]

Shouldn't be an issue then... You sure the one you have isn't light? The light tag is sneakily placed before the version number and it still says full at the end

[crystal folio]

i havent touched the light version

ill delete and reinstall just incase i did something wrong tho

[stoic sigil]

Most likelt something's gone wrong during extraction then. Do that, consider even re-downloading the zip to rule out the existing one's corruption. Extract the game to its own folder and then move that folder where you want as long as the location's local and preferably not Downloads

[inner shuttle]

@stoic sigil this'll take a while my computer is not cooperating and onedrive is making me want to fucking die

jesus christ JUST LET ME HAVE IT LOCALLY

instead of freezing my fucking computer

[stoic sigil]

What is OneDrive doing?

[inner shuttle]

complaining about being full

for some reason having all my shit there

and it is refusing to cooperate

so i can just have everything locally

everytime i open any tab in my files

it starts loading for ages

And i am incredibly frustrated

[stoic sigil]

And these are not OneDrive locations?

[inner shuttle]

I have no fucking clue just ever since my onedrive has complained about bein full, everything has been going to shit

I'm just gonna restart my computer rq

[stoic sigil]

That should help. Then move some stuff out of onedrive if you can

[inner shuttle]

this is how it looks like

and i am so fucking confused

because why is my dekstop in onedrive??

[stoic sigil]

That's exactly what I was looking at as well

[inner shuttle]

So yeah, how would i then move this out of my onedrive

[crystal folio]

it says i dont need to download a patch if it's the same number as the full download but i dont get some things in the full download that are in the patches

oh wtf some things arent being extracted?

i think i got it working holup

[stoic sigil]

I found two possible solutions. Try this one first because the second one is more risky if you're not careful:

[inner shuttle]

alright imma try

[crystal folio]

ok so i downloaded the full version and extracted everything into 1 file, using the alt loader this pops up

is there anything missing?

[stoic sigil]

Check Graphics\Battlers\ for me. If it's full of numbered subfolder check some of them as well

[stoic sigil]

Okay this is strange

I'll try a download of my own real soon to see if this is an issue with mega

[crystal folio]

oka

[stoic sigil]

And just to make sure, can you screenshot the game zip you extracted?

[crystal folio]

wym

this?

[inner shuttle]

@stoic sigil It's refusing to let me stop it from syncing with all it's might

like holy shit

it's nonstop trying to sync

something that it doesn't have space for

[stoic sigil]

I mean the .zip file you downloaded from mega

[inner shuttle]

and refuses to let me stop syncing it

[crystal folio]

this?

oh some things dont get extracted

that's weird

[stoic sigil]

Alright, we'll bring out the big guns, but I need you to be extremely careful when doing this and double check everything you write; one misspelling or missing symbol and you can cause a cascade of other issues with your PC:
https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/why-are-my-desktop-files-located-in-a-onedrive/9c618093-b999-4da1-a931-02a0098ed244

[stoic sigil]

Ah so they are in the zip. Do the numbered folders contain image files?

[stoic sigil]

I meant the actual zip file, just to see its name

[crystal folio]

yes

[inner shuttle]

gonna do my best

[stoic sigil]

This is sufficient. So yes, winrar is skipping over these for whatever reason. Try opening the zip in a window like you have on those screenshots, then simply dragging and dropping the folder called Graphics outside the winrar window and into the file explorer (the folder will get extracted to the place currently open in the explorer window)

[inner shuttle]

@stoic sigil alright, process has been done, do should i now drag the files in the desktop in onedrive into the one that's not there and replace so all the files will end up being on that desktop?

[late bough]

I think you have ping the wrong person

[inner shuttle]

woops my bad

[late bough]

no problem

[inner shuttle]

@stoic sigil

[stoic sigil]

Try with just a single thing first, then you can mass move if that works out fine

[inner shuttle]

alright alright

[olive iron]

#bug-reports-newest-version message
no luck in that channel, anyone here have any ideas?

[inner shuttle]

alright i did everything, and when i ran the game it ran fine, new problem though

[stoic sigil]

And that is the same issue sung had, a missing sprite

[inner shuttle]

Hmmm

[inner shuttle]

alright then, do i redownload everything from the IF full 5.1.2, including the graphics, then i add the february sprite pack since it's not included in the graphics file right?

[stoic sigil]

But the path is correct, yet it comes from the http call... Check Graphics\CustomBattlers\indexed\409\409.330.png to see if it's corrupted, those sometimes happen

[inner shuttle]

Uhhh, it doesn't exist

[stoic sigil]

Then this is your safest option, if it's not too much trouble. And yes, doing the sprite pack like that should be fine

[inner shuttle]

alright alright, imma do this and report back

[stoic sigil]

Moving the game around is problematic cause of the sheer amount of image files, so moving is pretty prone to errors

[olive iron]

#bug-reports-newest-version message
i get this error on launching the game, i have a pre- v5 save file but the error doesnt match the one in the pins

[stoic sigil]

This error has been posted here quite a bit, and I think it's caused by missing files. I recommend the good old delete all the game files and re-extract the newest full version

[crystal folio]

ok i extracted the graphics folder onto my desktop, i'm pretty sure it had everything, put it in the pokemon infinite fusion folder, started the alt launcher and this popped up

[jade folio]

fuck you, magic is dead, and miracles don't exist in the modern world.

[crystal folio]

man istfg winrar is so DOGSHIT

this time it didnt extract the pokemon file

[stoic sigil]

But your save is fine as long as you don't delete it! I don't know about the pre v5 save, but the post-v5 save is located in appdata which is completely separate from the game files

[crystal folio]

like there's only talonflame in this icons file

[stoic sigil]

At this point I'd try just switching to 7-zip

[crystal folio]

yea

[stoic sigil]

You should also compare the folder you extracted to the one in the game files after pasting and replacing, to check if the errors stem from the extraction or the moving process

[olive iron]

re-extracted the zip, same error

[rich portal]

Not sure if the right place for this, but just fused two Butterfree's together and it's giving me the standard Butterfree sprite?

[stoic sigil]

And you deleted all the game files first? Where is your game located in?

[olive iron]

yes, folder on my desktop

well, folder in a folder on my desktop, but same thing

[stoic sigil]

Check Graphics\CustomBattlers\indexed\12\ for 12.12.png

[rich portal]

The correct sprite is in there, just isn't using it..

[stoic sigil]

Check the fusion's pokedex's sprites tab

Dex butterfree/butterfree

[turbid terrace]

Butterfree/Butterfree's IF Pokédex number is 5052! Its sprite would be named 12.12.png!

[stoic sigil]

Odd. You can try moving the folder somewhere else, like (local non-cloud) Documents, but make sure everything gets moved, especially sprites

[jade folio]

lemme put it in a language you can understand

[stoic sigil]

Did you try opening the 12.12.png file in CustomBattlers yourself?

[inner shuttle]

@stoic sigil Everything works perfectly now, thank you so much man

[olive iron]

moving it to doccuments has changed nothing

[stoic sigil]

Never seen this before

[stoic sigil]

Glad to hear! Thanks for being patient

[inner shuttle]

Gotta be with tech shit or else it will physically make you angry

Especially onedrive

[rich portal]

Yeah file opens when I go to it in my docs

[stoic sigil]

This is curious. Did you try the alt launcher already?

[olive iron]

i did before, trying it now
