tech-support

[stoic sigil]

Then I have no clue why it wouldn't be using it. Maybe it happens just for butterfree/butterfree?

[inner shuttle]

because someone at microsoft thought it was a good idea to make everythign automatically get backed up to there

great idea mister gates thank you so much

[rich portal]

Are you able to change the sprite used whilst in game orr?

[olive iron]

same issue, takes longer to get there

[stoic sigil]

From the pokedex's sprites tab, yes. You could try copying 12.12.png to CustomBattlers (like when importing custom sprites) and having it re-import. If that doesn't change anything, copy it there again but this time also rename it 12.12a.png

[stoic sigil]

It takes longer because the alt launcher preloads everything

[olive iron]

ah

[stoic sigil]

I'll check the code soon to try to pinpoint your error, but the error message doesn't give a lot to go on

[olive iron]

yeah, its very non-specific :/

[rich portal]

How do I re-import? Sorry for all the q's 😦

[stoic sigil]

Oh, one basic question I forgot about: you're on windows right?

[olive iron]

yes, windows 10

fresh downloaded zip from last night

[stoic sigil]

Start the game when the file is directly in CustomBattlers\

[olive iron]

unless something went wrong with the download

[stoic sigil]

That's not impossible, and I'm assuming you have the full non-light version

[olive iron]

yes i got the full version

i also have the patch somewhere in the recycle bin if that would help (or i can just redownload it)

[stoic sigil]

The patch probably won't help, it's just a stripped down version of the download to overwrite the necessary files on a previous full version

[rich portal]

Get this when I go down to 5052 on Pokedex...

[stoic sigil]

Did it ask you to import sprites on startup?

[rich portal]

From the internet yea

Came up with the whole "some sprites seem to be missing from your game"

[stoic sigil]

That was the question to enable sprite downloading, but it didn't say anything like "1 sprite imported" or ask to to overwrite existing sprites?

[rich portal]

Nope

let me try with the alternative launcher

[stoic sigil]

Show Custombattlers

[stoic sigil]

...where's the indexed folder?

[rich portal]

Whatcha mean?

[stoic sigil]

There should always be a folder called indexed under CustomBattlers

[rich portal]

Huh, that wasnt there when I downloaded it

[stoic sigil]

I think your extraction process has gone wrong (which seems to be surprisingly common)

Your save files will be fine, but you'll have to delete all the game files and re-extract the game zip. First, you can open the game zip and check to see if its CustomBattlers folder contains indexed, and if not, try re-downloading the zip as well

[rich portal]

Legend, just extracted the indexed file into the existing files and all is golden!

[stoic sigil]

Glad that's all it took!

[vestal gull]

I get this anytime I encounter a shiny in 5.1.2 . Am I missing a pack or is it bugged?

[stoic sigil]

@olive iron Can you check if you have the file Data\Scripts\049_Compatibility\Constants.rb?

[olive iron]

i do

[stoic sigil]

What about Data\Scripts\002_Save data\004_Game_SaveValues.rb?

[olive iron]

yes

[stoic sigil]

Ooh and that gives me an idea... Try going to the savefile location (there's a link in the game folder) and moving everything out of there. No need to delete, just empty the folder

[stoic sigil]

Make sure you downloaded version is 5.1.2.4, an if not, get the 5.1.2.4 patch version and overwrite

[olive iron]

emptying the folder lets it get past the loading screen

my old save might be corrupted then

honestly not too big an issue, i dont rememer getting far

[stoic sigil]

Seems so

Hope that solves it

[olive iron]

thanks for the help

[cobalt path]

my game has been stuck on a black screen for a long time after i patched it

[turbid terrace]

Hey @cobalt path! 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

[cobalt path]

it has been like this for a while. can anyone help me

[vestal gull]

The version i got was the one for the forum download link. Do I need to add the sprite pack here to fix it?

[stoic sigil]

The forum downloads are legacy. Go to #downloads and get up-to-date game files and start fresh

[cobalt path]

can anyone help me

ive got over 100 hours in the game and i need this to work

[trim aspen]

I keep getting this error when trying to fuse pokemon in the box

[cobalt path]

im on mac using wineskin so is that why its not working

[stoic sigil]

Mac is not my expertise, use the search function to the top right of the discord window or wait for others to come active

[lean jolt]

what do I do to fix this?

[stoic sigil]

Can't tell anything by the screenshot, but a common error people make is grabbing a pokemon first and then selecting fuse. You'll have to have the hand free and select fuse on a pokemon then

[trim aspen]

Yep, i just figured it out right before you messaged

[trim aspen]

Thank you!

[stoic sigil]

We just went over a similar issue with killeroid356 earlier, your savefile is likely corrupted. Try moving everything in the savefile location elsewhere and see if you can launch the game then

[lean jolt]

yep that worked thx

[heady summit]

Not sure why, but when extracting the graphics folder it always tells me it's in use by another program?

[balmy shadow]

close the game ?

if it's still running in background open task manager with CTRL + Shift + Esc and close it manually

if there's no process for the game it's probably an explorer bug so either close explorer.exe through task manager and reopen it by typing "explorer" and enter in "Run" panel or just reboot your computer

[heady summit]

idk why I didn't think to restart explorer I'll give that a go

[cobalt path]

after i patched my game i lost all my data of 100+ hours what do i do

[stoic sigil]

Run migrate_older_savefile_to_5_0.bat in the game folder

[sweet belfry]

i had a few questions about the download; even simply trying to unzip the install file is taking like 5 mins and i wondered if that was normal considering its a big file or?

[stoic sigil]

It's normal, there are a lot of image files

[sweet belfry]

ah ok good, just wanted to check because my pc likes to slow tf down sometimes and i thought id make sure it wasnt on my end, thank you! :)

[sterile pivot]

Hello, how do I transfer my saved date from one user profile (personal) on my PC to another (work user profile)?

[stiff roost]

why is the game so swlo

why game slow

[cobalt path]

i am on mac and t is not letting me open the file

what app will allow me to open this file

how do i open the microsoft batch file

[stoic sigil]

Don't worry, you can do the same thing manually that the batch does. All it does is copy C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Saved Games\Pokémon Infinite Fusion\Game.rxdata to %APPDATA%\infinitefusion\

But of course, you'd have to find out where your mac keeps the appdata mimic folder for the windows runner thingy, and that's as far as I can help with mac stuff. You can search the discord for details

[cobalt path]

i deleted the file because i thought i had permenently lost my data, is there anyway to recover it? I know this isnt to do with the game it self but i would really apreciate it

@stoic sigil can you help me

[stoic sigil]

If you've deleted a file and it's not in some recycle bin equivalent, I don't think you can

[final locust]

Have noticed a issue lately not sure if its because of the latest update or not, Have redownloaded the full game to. The game keeps having lag spikes every 3 seconds or so. When I run around it full stops the character then starts running again like a second later. anyone had this issue and know a resolution?

[zealous minnow]

Having trouble running the game, not sure if its because of my laptop, but every time I leave a building or pokemon battle, my game stays on a black screen for like 15 seconds. Not sure if there is a fix for this, but I did have to download the full game because the light version was not working me

[turbid terrace]

Hey @zealous minnow! 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.

[half tiger]

hello! I'm trying to setup my xbox controller to play the game but when I try to change some hotkeys, the button doesnt register. what can I do?

[short schooner]

If you’re using the main launcher, that’s why. Try using the alternate launcher

The alternate launcher works for me

[half tiger]

good point, gonna check that

[lucid spire]

I'm trying to download the game, but midway through, I get a virus alert and then Opera cancels it completely after it's finished, saying the file had been moved, edited, or deleted.

[safe quail]

Yeah don't use opera for the download

It's being weird

Everybody who's on opera has reported the same thing

No other browser is having this issue

[lucid spire]

Alright, I'll try it on a different browser.

Thank you!

[hardy violet]

so i just started the game and i get ''script main line 14 runtime error occured

at the first battle against blue in prof oak lab

just after the line ''stronger a pokemon gets when its fused with aqnother one

[primal apex]

Does Pokémon IF have controller support?

[hardy violet]

im not sure if it usefull but the traceback log say Exception: NoMethodError

[safe quail]

We've seen that error a few times

It's always either a rival battle or giovanni

No known fix, the traceback.log is not helpful

[safe quail]

The alt launcher tends to be more compatible with controller

But I'm using an xbox controller on the main launcher just fine

Can't change the keybinds (alt launcher might help with this too) but the defaults are fine

[compact turtle]

my save file is corrupted somehow, i didnt modify or changed anything and i cant restore previous version anything i can do?

[safe quail]

Nope

If it happened when u weren't using magic boots, updating the game, or editing the savefile/game files, there's nothing more u can do to minimize risk

[lucid spire]

The same virus was detected, and the file was removed. Does this game have something that is being mistaken as a virus?

[hardy violet]

so is there a way to avoid the error at the first rival battle ?

[safe quail]

Not that I've seen

[safe quail]

It might, depending on ur antivirus, but I've only ever seen this issue occur with Opera GX specifically

[primal apex]

I read in the download instructions that older versions are possible on android. Is this accurate?

[turbid terrace]

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

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

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

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

[safe quail]

Most antiviruses have been letting it thru tho

Only 1 person has experienced otherwise

And that person was getting fishy popups from their browser, not their actual antivirus

[lucid spire]

It says there's a Trojan named Win32/Casdet!rfn ?

[safe quail]

What software is saying that

[lucid spire]

Microsoft Antivirus.

[safe quail]

Like Windows Defender or

[lucid spire]

Yep.

[safe quail]

Well I can't in good conscience say to ignore that, but I'm not sure why ur having this issue

[lucid spire]

And I've exceeded the Mega.nz quota. Now I've gotta wait 5 hours.

[safe quail]

U can try using the mediafire link instead, it's in xillo's bio

[lucid spire]

Could you tell me their username? I don't think they're online right now.

[safe quail]

I have told u their username, they are not online atm

[lucid spire]

Alright, going to search using that exact username.

Thank you for the help!

[safe quail]

np, hopefully the mediafire link doesn't cause any issues

[lucid spire]

It's downloading on Opera as it should.

[safe quail]

Mmmm again wouldn't have recommended using Opera but if it works it works

[lucid spire]

Mediafire works on Opera.

[astral rover]

Can someone help me understand why my game might be telling me that I'm missing custom sprites when I launch it? When I hit option no for downloading online, all my pokemon are autogen. When I hit option yes for downloading the sprites, my game crashes whenever it needs to pull up an image...

[turbid terrace]

Hey @astral rover! 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]

Are u on the light version of the game

[astral rover]

I believe I am on full

[safe quail]

Can I see ur custombattlers folder

[astral rover]

there's a lot of images in it

[safe quail]

I just want the first page

[hardy violet]

so is there a way to avoid the issue at the first rival battle or the start of the game is unplayable ?

[safe quail]

Not that I've seen

[hardy violet]

so wath im supposed to do ?

[safe quail]

If ur having that issue I don't know of a way to fix or avoid it

[safe quail]

U can try re-extracting or playing on an older version

[safe quail]

This file explorer looks strange, but there should be a folder inside the custombattlers folder called indexed

If it's not there ur custombattlers folder isn't indexing properly when u boot the game

Are u on windows and have u extracted the game files

[astral rover]

doesn't look i have it . i only have an alts folder

[safe quail]

So u have installed the sprite pack?

[astral rover]

Yes

[safe quail]

It appears to me that u have installed it by deleting the original custombattlers folder and then dragging the new folder in, which removes the indexed folder

[astral rover]

i dont recall deleting the oirignal folder.... but is there any fix for this situation?

maybe i can put an index folder back in?

[safe quail]

Afaik the indexed folder requires every folder inside it to be present before the game can index, u can't just make the folder and have it work

The simplest solution is to delete this custombattlers folder and re-extract the custombattlers folder from the game .zip

After u do that, run the game first and see if u have custom sprites

Then if u do, u can re-install the sprite pack

[astral rover]

so i should take the custom folders from the re-extracted files and replace the custombattler folder i currently have?

[safe quail]

Yes

Btw, am I right in guessing u are on Mac?

[astral rover]

Yes, indeed. I have been made aware of the performance issues the game might have while playing on Mac. I was able to get 5.1.1.1 to work and now am coming across these seemingly fixable issues with the new patch

i don't usually bother with trying to play PC games on Mac, but this game is a rare instance that gives me willpower to make it work lol

[safe quail]

As long as ur aware this is not the intended/ideal environment. The game may be encountering issues with file organization

[astral rover]

I understand and appreciate your patience in helping me despite those possibilities

Seems like there are no issues with custom sprites now. I'm going to go ahead and try installing the packs now

[safe quail]

ok sounds good

if u want to be safe

The instructions to replace files may have different implications for mac than windows

So u could try the other method of copying all sprites into the custombattlers folder directly

[astral rover]

I think that's what I did when I installed the January sprite packs. I must have done it different this time, maybe following the instructions you've mentioned

unfortunately, I'm in a place where I cannot seem to download the packs quickly, so I will probably have to wait until later to find out, but thanks so much for your help , hope to update you later if you are still around

[safe quail]

Sure thing

[primal apex]

So I have both the patch and full version file explorers open on my pc do I just drag everything from patch onto full?

[safe quail]

The patch is only necessary for older versions of the game

If u have the full 5.1.2.4 game, then u can simply run it

[primal apex]

Oh cool. Thanks

In the full folder there is only an alternate launcher and when I click it I get error codes.

[safe quail]

From that description it sounds like the patch folder

[primal apex]

Oh wait

[safe quail]

This is an issue with the download sprites option

If U can mash past the intro and title screens, u can turn it off

[primal apex]

Screen stays black while playing intro music for a couple seconds then I get this error.

[safe quail]

ok, I figured

So if u can't turn that option off, it may be difficult to play on 5.1.2

I have heard that this error was not present in the light version when someone else had this issue on the full version, but I'm not sure why not

[primal apex]

Okay. Should I try to download a legacy version and patch it? Or just use a legacy version instead?

[safe quail]

Afaik the data scripts are all the same, it's just missing the custom spries

I would recommend just using 5.1.1 for now

[primal apex]

Thanks!

[eager quail]

What does this mean?

[primal apex]

I can only find a link for 4.9.2 that should be fine ya?

[velvet flume]

The game will run but u will not be able to transfer the save up once we have a more stable version of 5.1.2+

Also the story has changed since so u may not be able to ask for help in game-help

[primal apex]

Thanks. I’ll try light.

[safe quail]

5.1.1.1 is in older versions on the mega folder

[primal apex]

Oh ok. Thanks

[safe quail]

This is new to me, when did this error occur

[safe quail]

I have a vague idea of what is happening in the traceback but not why it would be occurring or how it would be fixed

[velvet flume]

I guess I should re-install

[hardy violet]

so after doing some testing i found i am able to play the full version but if i apply the modern patch the error happen again

[safe quail]

What do you mean by the modern patch

Are u trying to patch 5.1.2.4 using the 5.1.2.4 patch?

[crisp lagoon]

Hi all, having trouble with this error. Is the save corrupted? It won’t get past the loading screen.

[safe quail]

Ur save is incompatible with the version of the game u are trying to run

If it is from a version previous to 5.1, there is a high likelihood it will not transfer

[crisp lagoon]

I’m on 5.1.2.3 so pretty sure it’s a recent release?

[safe quail]

If u did not update ur game I don't know the cause but the problem remains the same

Ur save is incompatible and the version of the game u are trying to play will not run until it cannot find it

[crisp lagoon]

So I’ve gotta wipe the save and start over?

[safe quail]

u would

[crisp lagoon]

Alright thanks you!🙏🏻

Also unsure if this needs to be here or if it's a bug

[safe quail]

This has been an issue with a specific graphics card

[topaz brook]

Okay just curious becuase I'm using an old laptop so I was unsure if it was laptop or some other reason. Do we have a work around at all since I was hoping to originally use joiplay but I can't get it on my phone as it is no longer supported

Sounds good. It's a bit of a bummer that there isn't any other work around maybe in the future when my finances are less restricted I can splurge on a better laptop or pc

[royal hinge]

I’m playing modern mode on my PC on 5.1.2.4 and it seems to be working fine so far (up to cerulean). But when I tried to set up the game on my steam deck, I get the following error when I’m about to enter the first fight:

[stoic bobcat]

hey is anyone else having a problem where a fusions sprite does not appear. i checked my files the sprite is there but is not showing in game

[wet rampart]

Im having that issue as well and have the same question

[valid obsidian]

this file?

[safe quail]

That isn't a file, that's a shortcut to the file location

The file you're looking for would be File A.rxdata or something similar

If u have a Game.rxdata instead, u could try renaming it to File A.rxdata and see if the game wants to recognize that save

But otherwise u would delete it

[valid obsidian]

Ok ty

[safe quail]

When u say the sprite is there, what location is the sprite in

If the game has fully recognized the sprite it should be somewhere in the indexed folder. If it has stayed in ur custombattlers folder, that means the game had an issue recognizing it and did not index

[valid obsidian]

And what od i have Game.rxdata and File A rxdata

If*

[safe quail]

U can try just deleting Game.rxdata and see if the game will run

U could also try renaming it to File B, but

If that file is still incompatible, it won't do anything and u would have to delete anyways

[valid obsidian]

Ok

[safe quail]

If ur most recent save file is ur primary concern that would be named File A

[valid obsidian]

Still didn't work

[safe quail]

If Game.rxdata is gone and the game is still having an issue u will have to delete File A.rxdata as well

[valid obsidian]

Ok i try

Thank you

😁

Sorry man I was at work! I deleted the save and it’s running smooth 😅

[valid obsidian]

Ok

[wet rampart]

My sprites in the sprite pack aren't loading I don't know if it mean any thing but this where the pack is at

[safe quail]

This is incorrect

There are 2 correct methods to installing the 1-87 sprite pack

U can either:

1. drag the custombattlers folder from within the sprite pack into ur game's graphics folder and let it replace

2. copy all the sprites from within the sprite pack's custombattlers folder into the game's custombattlers folder

Once u have done either of these two things, when u run the game it will ask u if u want to import these sprites and replace all duplicates

[wet rampart]

ok thank you for the help

[safe quail]

For anyone else reading, note that for the 87 sprite pack, there is no custombattlers folder in the sprite pack, so u can only follow the 2nd method

[balmy falcon]

I need help i cant download the game from mega i waited five hours for the site to crash and then the timer restarted

[turbid terrace]

Hey @balmy falcon! 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!

[stoic bobcat]

its in indexed and has the right name in the right file

[safe quail]

Can I see it in the index

I don't doubt u but there are some things I wanna check that are slightly easier to see than to explain what to look for

[stoic bobcat]

yes pokemon 218.294

[safe quail]

Did u use the fixed extensions .zip in #announcements

[stoic bobcat]

fixed extensions?

[safe quail]

Yea all the bidoof sprites are named PNG instead of png so the game doesn't recognize them

The fixed extensions .zip has all the bidoofs renamed to png

If this is indexed properly that means u did it manually right

I haven't seen the game recognize and index a PNG by itself before

[stoic bobcat]

okay thanks

[royal hinge]

If I try to save on the base game after the first rival fight, and then apply the modern mode patch, it prevents me from encountering wild Pokémon and it crashes again when I try to do a trainer battle

[safe quail]

I am confused where u are all getting this modern mode patch from

There is nothing titled modern mode patch in the mega atm

Generally speaking tho, these are problems that we commonly see in randomizers

Modern mode may use some of the same processes to change encounters and trainer battles that randomizer does

However unlike randomizer, going to the update man and reshuffling ur encounters may not be an option

[rough idol]

I know at some point, before I even joined the server, modern mode was a patch you apply to the game

But now it's just, built in

So idk where people are finding it

[safe quail]

Ah, it is still linked in the pokecommunity post

[rough idol]

That'd be it

[safe quail]

It does say version 4.9 tho

So I feel like people should not be attempting to apply it if they are not on version 4.9

[serene apex]

Hey can anyone help me? I have downloaded the game files and unzipped them but when I try to open the exe to play an error pops up and says I'm missing game.ini even thought it is present in my files.

[turbid terrace]

Hey @serene apex! Are you having trouble starting the game? If you're getting the "missing Game.ini" error, your game is not finding its necessary folders for some reason. Here's a list of things that may fix the issue:

1. Make sure that you have extracted the files from the ZIP, and aren't running the game straight from the zipped folder.
2. Make sure the game.exe file is in the folder with everything else. You might've moved it while trying to make a shortcut or something.
3. Rename the folder with the extracted files to a name without numbers or special characters, e.g. "PokemonInfiniteFusion".
4. Move the entire folder somewhere else on your computer. Moving it to the desktop seems to work for most people.
5. Redownload and re-extract the game in full.

Hey @serene apex! 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]

Listen to the bot

[serene apex]

Ok, thanks

[safe quail]

If I were helping u I would just be going down the bot's checklist

[sudden fable]

Does the .PNG problem only count for the fused sprites? Cause looking through the folder everything is .PNG for me and not .png.... Plus i cant get my comp to change it

Figured it might be that causing my black background issue... I've tried a bunch of other people's fixes for it and none have worked so far

[safe quail]

I don't see why that would be causing black backgrounds considering that folder has nothing to do with tilesets

[sudden fable]

I was looking at everyfile... Including tilesets

[safe quail]

Black backgrounds are known to happen if u have an Intel Graphics HD 4000 graphics card

[sudden fable]

They are all .PNG

I dont

[safe quail]

Taking a quick glance at my graphics folder, nothing is a PNG except the bidoof sprites which I have not deemed necessary to fix

Not being able to change file extensions is an expected behavior, ur not supposed to be able to

[sudden fable]

So i should try and find a way to fix it... Tho it doesnt seem to change extension and i cant figure out why

Right but you can do it

[safe quail]

There is a tutorial that was posted for using Powershell to change them before the fixed-extensions.zip was released

But I haven't taken a look at it and I'm not sure how to apply it to every file in ur graphics folder

[sudden fable]

I might as well give it a shot since nothing else is working

[safe quail]

#tech-support message

[sudden fable]

Id just try the outdoors tilesets and see if i can see the pidgey intro

Thanks for the link

[safe quail]

Out of curiosity, did u download the game from the mega or from somewhere else

I have also located some files that are PNGs in my tilesets, it appears to be about half-and-half

[sudden fable]

From the mega from the link her ein the discord

Ive tried the last few updates and all have been broken for me

[next briar]

I dont know what to do this keeps happening for both media/mega

[safe quail]

What's ur browser

[next briar]

opera gx for media, but ive download the mega desktop

[safe quail]

Every time I've seen the file scan as a virus, it has been Opera GX users

[next briar]

ill check with chrome and see if its any different

its come up with the same thing

[safe quail]

Interesting

Assuming there even would be a way to bypass that, it's hard to recommend ignoring

I've personally performed system-wide scans on my pc after each download and come up empty, from edge and from chrome

But I also wasn't getting stopped partway through my download

I'm not sure what's changed for you but I guess I would hold off for now

[next briar]

thats a shame, ik the light version works for mega, but its extremely laggy and black screens randomly when entering rooms or exiting a battle

[turbid terrace]

Hey @next briar! 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.

[tranquil ivy]

im having the same issue as ferrous

im also using opera

i did a full scan and it said i had 2 trojan files

[safe quail]

To be clear I'm having no issue

You're having the same issue as Yuichi

[tranquil ivy]

oh yes my bad lol

[safe quail]

Something's for sure up with Opera, I would avoid using it to download

[tranquil ivy]

alright ill try another and see if it works

[safe quail]

Yuichi continuing to have problems on Chrome is a rare occurrence in my experience

But if u also have problems elsewhere it could be smth to bring up to mods

[sudden fable]

So i tried fixing all of that and nothing helped im gonna have to assume at this point its just my computer is worthless and may try the unintended android way to play.... Oh i did forget to mention earlier that legacy versions did work... I tried one of those when i first found that 5.0 wasnt working and nothing since either.... So its annoying and confusing

[turbid terrace]

Hey @sudden fable! 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.

[hollow spade]

I’m not running into any wild Pokémon? I have no repels on and the pokeradar says “can’t use that here” in patches of grass

[safe quail]

Are u on rando

[hollow spade]

yup

[safe quail]

Go to the update guy and reshuffle ur encounters

[hollow spade]

Ok thanks!

[uncut aspen]

Hey everyone, so I'm a bit confused. I am new to the game, and I downloaded ver. 5.1.2 with the most recent sprite pack. If I am understanding this correctly, ver. 5.1.2 should automatically come with modern mode. However, I cannot find any option anywhere to activate modern mode, and the game seems to be the old gen 1-2 base game. For example, Brock is still a rock type trainer. Am I missing something? Did I misunderstand something? Thank you!

[lunar badger]

my game keeps crashing everytime i run through the safari zone

[safe quail]

Modern mode is available on ur second save file

U can make a second save anytime after saving ur first

It's turned off by default for the first save because it's an alternate mode and much harder

[safe quail]

Does it give u an error

[lunar badger]

yes ill get the screenshot

[safe quail]

Thanks

[uncut aspen]

Thank you so much! ❤️

[lunar badger]

it happens everysingle time after i go to the second area in safari

[fair mica]

Okay so I have a sound issue. It seems like half the sounds that would normally play, don't (for example, there are no sounds when the pokeball shakes). Is that just an inf fusion thing?

[safe quail]

It appears to me that there is a particular fusion (or multiple) that the game is trying to call and can't find. If u don't care u should be able to spray a repel or use ur pokeradar to avoid encountering fused pokemon

I'm not sure how exactly to fix it if u do care tho

[lunar badger]

yeah alright, ill give it a try im only in there for surf anyway

[safe quail]

Sound issues are common, particularly on Mac

It may be a file incompatibility issue

The game uses both .mp3 and .ogg audio files

[fair mica]

I use a pc, so file types shouldn't be an issue

[dusky kernel]

whenever I use the download sprites option, it tends to break the sprite that I assume it finds a replacement for. After turning it on and finding an appropriate sprite to replace, it simply breaks the fusion box; this causes the box to become small and go to the top right. Any instance of this causes the resulting fusion to become a blank sprite. Is there any fix for this? Until further instruction or an update, I'll be keeping the option off.

[safe quail]

I didn't pay close attention to sfx in-game so I'm not sure what the standard experience is

[safe quail]

There are a few issues with the download sprites option that are known and there is reason to believe they are being worked on for the next patch

Keeping download sprites off is recommended when possible

[dusky kernel]

an example of an effected fusion

[safe quail]

Yes

[dusky kernel]

thank you for your response. I assumed as much, but wanted to share my experience in case it was not known.

[fair mica]

I'm going to try and restart and see if that does anything

is there any reason to use the alt launcher over the standard one?

[lunar badger]

worked on that specific area but then later on it happened, would it help if i turned off the randomizer

[safe quail]

Generally yes, there are issues with the randomizer as well

[lunar badger]

ill give that a go

[safe quail]

The alt launcher frontloads some processes so that the load times are reduced in game

It also has better controller compatibility

[tired jetty]

i opened the game and all was fine, but once i got past title screen the entire background is black, can only see my player and nothing in the foreground

[fair mica]

Is there any downside to using it over the standard?

[safe quail]

The boot time is very long

That's it

[fair mica]

Welp, let's try it out I guess lol

[tight nest]

After a few days the launcher has completely refused to work, it's consistently deleted itself mysteriously and now refuses to even re-download, only the launcher is behaving this problem, claiming it has no access for seemingly no reason

[safe quail]

You could try running it as admin, but that is not recommended for files that are behaving suspiciously

[tight nest]

I couldn't get it to download in order to do so anyway

Its purged itself from my pc

[safe quail]

I can't recommend any actions for this, u may want to report in bug reports

I've seen it a couple times

Or talk to mods ab it, not sure

[tired jetty]

any ideas on how i can get the texture packs to work?

battle screen works, lakes spawn in and the pokeballs and other npcs spawned in but nothing else is showing. no buildings, no grass, nothing

[safe quail]

Do u know ur graphics card

[tired jetty]

not off the top of my head no. i have a fairly outdated pc. i can run other emulators and the like just fine but am having trouble with this one

what are the minimum spec requirements?

[safe quail]

I don't know, but there is one specific graphics card that has been having issues like this

Can u screenshot ur tilesets folder

For the record, this game is not and does not use an emulator

[tired jetty]

i know that it does not use an emulator

i was just using that as an example as things i have been able to run. and yeah let me look for it

[safe quail]

U seem to be missing a few

[tired jetty]

Ok how many should be in the folder?

[safe quail]

I have 32 in mine

[tired jetty]

I have 31 items

Ok let me see if I can find the missing one in the original zip file

[safe quail]

Is there a way u can show file extensions on this screen btw

The one I see missing in this screenshot is the original grottes.png. U have the backup, but not the original

[vale wyvern]

I cant download from mega and when I try to extract the zip from the mediafire download it just says not responding and wont do anything

[tired jetty]

I have the original grottes in my folder

And they are saved as .png files

[safe quail]

Are all of them .png or are some of them .PNG

[tired jetty]

I will check, I don’t have an easy way that I know of to look at all at once

What should they be?

Nevermind, I found a way. They are all .PNG

[safe quail]

I also don't see a Poke Centre interior tileset

[slender oar]

How do I import the alt base sprites to the game? I don't seem to be able to do it.

[safe quail]

Only some of mine are .PNG, and some sprite files being .PNG have caused some issues for the game

[tired jetty]

I found the missing tile set, it was the outdoor tile set

[safe quail]

Alternate base sprites go in the battlers folder, not custombattlers, and the game has no process to index or recognize alternate sprites for unfused pokemon

U will have to rename them and index them manually

[safe quail]

This sounds like it would cause the problem u have described, so if u add it in, see if ur issue is resolved

[slender oar]

Oh, ok, thanks!

[tired jetty]

I got it added, I will check to see if it fixed my problem

[safe quail]

Issues with the file extractor tend to be hardware issues, u can try using free archival tools such as WinRAR or 7-zip if u aren't already

[vale wyvern]

ok thank you

[tired jetty]

It did not fix my issue but I am going to double check all the graphics folders to make sure they all got unzipped

[shy trellis]

uh hey do you guys have any alternative links for the game?

mega doesnt work for me

it keeps saying transfer quota limit

[safe quail]

U are trying to download the entire mega which is unnecessary

There is a mediafire link in Xillo's bio

[shy trellis]

nah im just trying to download the 1gb game

it still says limit exceeded

but imma download the mediafire one tho

thank you

[rain moss]

I just updated from an older version(i think 5.0) to the latest(5.1.2.4) and I can't get the final gym(||Giovanni||) to unlock.
I'm just beat Cinnabar, already had catch Zapdos and just went to Mt. ember and caught Moltres, but the event when leaving the mountain didn't trigger(it also didn't have team rocket in it) and basement of the Golden Rod department store is empty(||minus the teleporter that i grabbed||)

[safe quail]

I'm a little surprised u were able to transfer ur save over without issue

[rain moss]

It's been running perfectly 😅

[safe quail]

Is there a fight in the boss's room in silph co?

[sharp fossil]

I'm having an issue downloading the actual game. It keeps getting flagged as a virus is this a normal issue?

[safe quail]

Or have u already done that

[safe quail]

If ur on Opera GX yea

[sharp fossil]

It's doing it on chrome as well

[safe quail]

That was the case with someone else as well, I've downloaded it off chrome without any flags going off and scans bring up nothing as well

I wouldn't say to ignore it

But I'm not sure why ur experience(s) are different from mine

[rain moss]

One of the last things i remember doing is beating the ||fused bird|| in the building where you could jump out the window and die. then catching Zap

the pervious version i had was 5.0.36

[safe quail]

Yea, I figured

It sounds like ur locked bro

[rain moss]

I'm checking silph co

oof dang

At least i got 2 master balls out of it T_T

[slender oar]

Hiya again. I just indexed all the alt base sprites into the battlers but they still haven't clicked in in the game.

[safe quail]

Right, they need to be placed into the proper index folder and then u need to remove the letter from their name to make them the main sprite

This will overwrite the other main sprite unless u rename them first

Like I said before the game has no process for recognizing alternate sprites for unfused pokemon, this is true for the pokedex as well

[slender oar]

Oooooh, there's just no option for choosable sprites? Ok, finally got it.

Thanks a lot.

[safe quail]

np

[sharp fossil]

Is there a way to download an older version not through mega to see if it has the same issue?

[rain moss]

5.1.2.4 save file also works on 5.0.36
If you had to guess how far would I need to progress to not get soft locked updating to 5.1.2.4

[safe quail]

I would just play on 5.1.2.4 to start with if ur already thinking of starting a new save

[rain moss]

I'd prefer to keep this save

I just copied the save File1.rxsave to Game.rxsave to try and run it on 5.0

[safe quail]

Well u can't really un-progress

[rain moss]

Thats what i was wondering. If i progress further in 5.0 will it line back up with 5.1.2.4 progression

[safe quail]

I see

[rain moss]

Not sure how many missions got changed

[safe quail]

Once uve set the flag for giovanni to be in his gym u may be fine, but most of the people updating from 5.0 or earlier to version 5.1 or later have the issue of completely incompatible saves, which I can't guarantee won't happen as we don't know exactly what causes the incompatibility, especially if ur able to transfer even with how much progress uve made

I would say that the earlier in progression u are, the less likely the save is to be incompatible

As there are less things that have had the potential to be changed

[rain moss]

If my file is stuck anyways I might as well try that

Thanks for the suggestions

You are right the gym stayed unlocked

Now i just need to hack in an ice pick

[compact bane]

I’m having an issue where I can’t get passed the loading screen, it says script ‘ <internal;marshal> and then goes on with a bunch of other stuff, can’t figure it out

[glad olive]

Mine just freezes on a black page with f1 keybindings and loading

[swift jolt]

Anyone have any experience with the version of ruby the game is running? Trying to get httplite to work and im stuck

[safe quail]

This is generally an issue with ur save file

Without the full message I can't give u details

[viscid sphinx]

i get these messages and my game crashes when trying to enter wild battle (left) and trainer battle (right) how can i fix this?

[tiny veldt]

When I use my connected switch controller, some of the buttons don't work, and don't register when I try to change my keybinds. Why?

[safe quail]

Try launching from the alt launcher

[tiny veldt]

k

[glad olive]

How can i fix this?

[safe quail]

That's an issue with the download sprites feature

U'd have to turn it off if possible

[glad olive]

How would I do that?

[safe quail]

It's in the options menu

[glad olive]

I'm not even able to get past the intro scene

[safe quail]

Yea, so in that instance ur probably better off running 5.1.1.1 instead

Or waiting for the next patch

This specific bug is very simple to fix

[glad olive]

I can download 5.1.1.1 right?

[safe quail]

Yea u can

It's in older versions on the mega

[viscid sphinx]

how can i fix this

[glad olive]

Pog, thank you so much

[safe quail]

I've seen ur error before but I'm not sure what's causing it

Are u on rando

[viscid sphinx]

yeah

[safe quail]

U might have to turn off ur rando settings

[viscid sphinx]

k

[mystic marsh]

Hey me and a friend are playing a randomizer and anytime he encounters a fusion without a custom sprite his game freezes (including the title screen animations), we’ve tried redownloading the custom sprite pack as well as the entire game yet the issue still persists. Any suggestions for a fix?

[viscid sphinx]

nope still get the same message

[safe quail]

U can try turning off download sprites in options, but randomizers typically experience different issues

[safe quail]

Yea, if it's not related to the rando issues, I'm not sure what can be done about this one

[mystic grove]

If i delete the main game file folder, my save data which iirc is in a different folder should be safe right?

[safe quail]

Yes

[mystic grove]

Okay, i think im having some issues with the game itself so im thinking just fresh install

I've tried patching and fresh installs, neither worked so ive deleted it all, restarted and now doing another fresh install

[wooden ferry]

just finished downloading the game and added the custom sprites, opened the game, chose this option and it was stuck for a while, closed it thinking it wasn't working. I think it said there were less new custom sprites now, should i choose replace again?

it said like, 2k sprites or something around that

[safe quail]

Probably?

I'm not concerned about this process, u only have the ability to replace duplicate files from the sprite pack

What I'm concerned about is whether stopping the process midway may have left some messy files that the game won't be able to recognize

[wooden ferry]

yeah...i wasnt really sure if it was stuck or not, i guess ill try it again and just let it do its thing

ty

at worst i would just have to reinstall it, so not that big of a deal

oh it worked maybe

[safe quail]

Most of it should have worked, but if u ever run into a blank sprite or ur game crashes and blames the custombattlers folder I would guess that's part of the reason why

[wooden ferry]

ya, makes sense, hopefully not a big deal

[scarlet tide]

i got the newest version and got to the screen before you pick save file and its not letting me past what do i do?

[safe quail]

How long u been there

[scarlet tide]

3 minute about

[safe quail]

Give it a couple more and if it's still not doing anything we can look at some things

We're not talking about the title screen, right

[scarlet tide]

title screen

[safe quail]

ok, and is it just black?

[scarlet tide]

black with keybindings: F1 and Version 5.1.2

[safe quail]

Right

[scarlet tide]

it just closed saying script '008_AnimatedBitmap.rb' line 19: NoMethodError Occured undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass

[limpid quest]

whenever i try to download the game it just says transfer quota exceeded.

[safe quail]

Try the mediafire link in Xillo's bio

[green cipher]

t says i dont have data/scripts.rxdata

[limpid quest]

thanks

[safe quail]

The gang's all here huh

[green cipher]

and i redownled it 2 times how do i fix it

[deft prism]

just did a fresh install but whenever a pokemon fuses, the game freezes for quite a while

[somber breach]

I have the same keybinding screen issue

[safe quail]

Turn off download sprites in options

[deft prism]

calm

[safe quail]

For everyone else here I might recommend searching the discord for missing game.ini and making sure you're following the bot's checklists

[green cipher]

oh just click the filenamed game

[deft prism]

what does turning off that option do?

[safe quail]

It stops the game from checking online to see if the fusion's sprite has been updated

It does this every time

[deft prism]

ahhhh, so only the sprites in local are used

gotcha

[safe quail]

Right

[safe quail]

If the game can't find the files it does have, then its file organization may be thrown off for various reasons which the bot outlines

[patent flare]

okay i'm not sure if anyone can help me with this, but i encountered an interesting quirk with Wine

[somber breach]

How long is too long to wait to get past the keybinding black screen? This is the first time in trying the game

[turbid terrace]

Hey @somber breach! 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 like 5 minutes

[somber breach]

Okay, what do I do if that's gone by already haha

[safe quail]

Do this

[somber breach]

Okie dokie. Thank you!

[limpid quest]

when i downloaded it, it said virus detected and it wont let me open it

[safe quail]

Are u on opera gx

[limpid quest]

yup

[safe quail]

Try another browser

[limpid quest]

ok

[safe quail]

Opera's being weird

Although

Once the opera gx download doesn't work, it's become more common that the next browser doesn't work either

[patent flare]

i have been using wine-staging to get IF to run on my mac but uninstalled it to run wine-crossover instead (trying to get a different game to run when it wouldnt work), but my save file was gone when launching IF in the other wine structure. switching back to wine-staging restored my save though. if anyone with an m1 mac knows why this happens, i am all ears lol

[safe quail]

lmk how that goes

[limpid quest]

i will

[green cipher]

howdo i fix

[scarlet tide]

i had 5.1.1 and updated and now it wont let me past the title screen how do i fix

[limpid quest]

same thing happend with chrome

[safe quail]

Yeah, so I've heard

Always opera gx and then chrome

I downloaded on chrome with no issue

Did a scan, no problems

But I didn't have my download interrupted

I'm not certain what the difference is now

[limpid quest]

it just say virus detected and i cant open it

[safe quail]

For now I would just hold off on downloading, u can bring it to a mod but they're probably aware since I've had this convo like 5 times today

[limpid quest]

ok

[safe quail]

Maybe they know of a solution I don't, or have a better answer than I do, idk

I guess I should ask one myself at some point

[mystic grove]

Damm, so its likely an issue with the new version?

Bricked my working version with it 😭

[safe quail]

No, I'm referring specifically to the issue of the .zip being treated as a virus by ur browser or antivirus

[mystic grove]

Oh okay, ignore me then lol

[green cipher]

i need help locating a file

[mystic grove]

I just wanna playyy, 3rd install ive tried today

[safe quail]

Generally speaking I consider 5.1.1.1 to be the most stable version of the game atm, so if all else fails u should be able to run that just fine

[mystic grove]

I'll give that a try if this final install doesnt work

[somber breach]

im gonna try and reinstall

[scarlet tide]

how do i go back to 5.1.1.1

[safe quail]

U download it from the mega, it's in older versions

Assuming u patched ur 5.1.1.1 files and didn't keep the .zip

[green cipher]

same i need some missing filethis what it says

[safe quail]

ok, I don't think these files are missing

I've been saying this a few times but the game can fail to find or open files that it does have because of file organization issues

[green cipher]

cani fix it

[safe quail]

Which is why I referred everyone to the bot's missing game.ini post

[mystic grove]

For me, went to update from like 4.9.2 cos i didnt realise i was on an older version, patched, didnt work, then 5.1.2 full didnt work, 5.1.2 light didnt so now ive deleted it all and retrying 5.1.2full with 0 previous game files but my save

[safe quail]

Following the bot's instructions is the best way to ensure your game can find its files

[green cipher]

ok thanks

[safe quail]

Patching up from 4.9.2 is a more complex process than from 5.0 or later

And both 4.9 and 5.0 saves have a tendency to become incompatible with 5.1 regardless of if you follow the correct steps

[mystic grove]

Yeah i noticed, followed instructions and its just bricked everything so i deleted it all and am fresh installing it

[green cipher]

how do i find the post

[safe quail]

You would search in discord's search function

[mystic grove]

I hope not tho as while i wasnt far into the game, time wise i was, 3 badges but 12 hours lol

Was finally getting my team together somewhat

[safe quail]

Most of the saves that I have seen that were successful in transferring were from 5.0 and were not far into the story

[mystic grove]

So i have some hope? lmao

[somber breach]

how do i get 5.1.1 if mega isnt working for me? is there any alternative place?

[safe quail]

The less progress that has been made, the more likelihood that not enough has changed for the files to complain

[safe quail]

No, I don't think so

[patent flare]

where is the actual save file located?

[mystic grove]

Well then fingers crossed. I noticed there was something wrong with my game when i was watching videos and was like damm, why doesnt my game have this feature lmao

[green cipher]

thank you so much i was running it on zip im super dumb

[safe quail]

C:\Users\your username here\AppData\Roaming\infinitefusion

AppData is not normally accessible through basic exploration

[patent flare]

hmm okay so i have to find the instance of drive_c used by my version of Wine lol

[safe quail]

It's also worth mentioning that 5.1's ability to host multiple saves means that the naming convention changed, so you would have to rename ur save from Game.rxdata to File A.rxdata

[mystic grove]

fuck

that my have been my original issue

lemme go back and check my error messages

[safe quail]

It could have been one of many

But the marshal file incompatibility can mean many things

[somber breach]

oh i actually found one on media fire

for 5.11

[safe quail]

And I don't think I've confirmed that renaming works, I'm basically working on theory rn

[somber breach]

should i share the link in case you want to share it?

[mystic grove]

Okay this was my first error

That's an issue with the download sprites feature

[scarlet tide]

same

[mystic grove]

This was the full game tho, thought only the light version downloaded sprites?

[safe quail]

Full version has the option on by default but is able to turn it off

Assuming u can get that far

[mystic grove]

true

[somber breach]

here, idk if links are cool but this is the site i found 5.1.1 on mediafire for https://pokemonlog.com/pokemon-infinite-fusion-rom-download/

[safe quail]

Light version is able to turn it off too but then u just don't get custom sprites

[mystic grove]

Well i got an estimated 6 mins left to await to see if it works

[somber breach]

they have the most recent one too

[safe quail]

Uhhh

[somber breach]

hope that helps anyone who wants the legacy version

sorry if links are bad

[safe quail]

Links aren't typically bad

[somber breach]

that's not the direct download link either

[safe quail]

I just haven't seen this one before

[mystic grove]

the near quarter of a million files is nearly done extracting

[somber breach]

jsut a blog talking about it and linking to it

oh i see

[safe quail]

It's also just

Very wrong about a lot

[somber breach]

oh hahaha is it?

well i hope it isnt a computer virus aha

the mega link seems correct'

[safe quail]

The mega link is legit

I would have to assume the mediafire one is fine too, it's just hard to verify since we don't get to see creator/author/uploader, etc.

[glad olive]

What do I do from here?

[somber breach]

i had done a previous mediafire one to get the 5.1.2 version, so i think they do exist on mediafire too

yeah the website doesnt seem fishy

[native hill]

How do I start another game without it deleting my past game or is that not possible?

[safe quail]

U can start a new game and just save to a new file when it prompts u

[native hill]

i started a new game once and then it automatically just deleted my previous game

[safe quail]

On pre-5.1 versions it would do that

Post-5.1 we have multiple save slots

I've started new games on 5.1.1 and 5.1.2 with no issues keeping my old save

[safe quail]

Well for the sake of not repeating myself and also letting everybody else see what I mean by following the bot's checklist

Can I see ur main game folder

Close the game for now, it's probably not gonna progress

[glad olive]

Which file do I click

[scarlet tide]

should i dm it or just send it here

[safe quail]

As long as there's no personal information sending here is fine

[haughty tendon]

is there anyway to speed up the loading between areas or is it just the limits of my laptop?

[safe quail]

And more helpful for everyone else

[glad olive]

This it?

[safe quail]

U can try launching from the alt launcher

[safe quail]

Ok, so this is the patch folder, not the full game

Is this what you're trying to run the game from

[mystic grove]

Fresh install, same error 😭

[glad olive]

Yeah, am I not supposed to?

[safe quail]

You are not

The patch is supposed to be applied to the complete files of older versions

It is not a full game in itself

[somber breach]

oh wait really?

i only extracted the patch before lol

and tried to run it

[safe quail]

Yall...

[somber breach]

ahahahaha

[glad olive]

I thought I had the full game-

[somber breach]

how do you apply the patch?

[safe quail]

You don't need to

If u just download the 5.1.2.4-full.zip

The patch just has those files

[somber breach]

ooooooh

[safe quail]

Patching those does nothing except add another step where smth can go wrong

[somber breach]

i had no idea

[safe quail]

For your specific issue, I can poke around and see if there's a constant in the scripts that you can turn off, but it would be difficult to find. Until then, 5.1.1 does not encounter this issue

[somber breach]

so wwhich folders need to get extracted when extracting the downlaoded zip

[mystic grove]

Does anyone know how to fix this?

[glad olive]

Where am I supposed to launch it from

[somber breach]

cuz i cant downlaod through MEGA

[native hill]

How do I update my game?

[safe quail]

All of the files from the .zip need to be extracted

[somber breach]

FerrousLupus you are a trooper by the way

thank you

[native hill]

fr

[somber breach]

for the help

ah okay, thanks!

[safe quail]

I try

[somber breach]

that's funny as hell. i bet everybody here tried to run the patch lol

[safe quail]

Which is insane to me

[mystic grove]

Im just tryna run the game 😂

[glad olive]

[safe quail]

Not only is it titled patch with the same version number, it has a much smaller filesize listed in the mega

So I feel like there's no reason to expect that it has everything it needs

Furthermore

There are multiple .txts in the mega

[glad olive]

Is there a specific place where I need to run it?

[safe quail]

Telling u which .zip u need to get

Depending on ur circumstance

[safe quail]

As long as they're not in the downloads folder or in cloud storage, u can run the files from anywhere, but u actually need to have the entire game files

The patch .zip is not gonna cut it on its own

[somber breach]

i didnt even look at any of that, i was like "oh cool they included the legacy versions, but there's the patch i got! :D"

[mystic grove]

Okay is it going to be worth just downloading the light version of a more stable version or am i doing something wrong here?

[safe quail]

I replied to you here

[mystic grove]

oh shoot sorry, didnt realise that was too me, my bad

Okay, so 5.1.1 it is

[wooden ferry]

So uh, between me being dumb by closing the game while it was replacing old sprites AND extracting the modern patch when I apparently didn't need to, would you recommend to just reinstall it? Or just run and pray?

[safe quail]

U are in a separate section of people not reading that I have seen today

You aren't downloading incomplete files

[wooden ferry]

Yeah im a different type of dumb

[safe quail]

But you are using the modern mode patch which is already labeled version 4.9.2 in the pokecommunity post

If u do not have version 4.9.2

That patch does not do what you want

Modern mode is already integrated into v5.1+ by default

[somber breach]

are you an IT person for a living or do you just know this stuff for fun? youre good at this role hahaha

[wooden ferry]

Yeah, didn't know that

[safe quail]

I come by it honestly

To access modern mode on the current version, you need to start a second save

[somber breach]

i feel like an elderly person sometimes when it comes to computer stuff like this. i google for everything

[safe quail]

It's disabled for your first save because it's not the intended experience and it's harder overall

In your instance

Yeah I would redownload the game

I have no idea what the patch would've replaced

[wooden ferry]

Yeah I did look through the discord for a bit, and found older convos about that, after already extracted the patch

[native hill]

how do I update my game?

[wooden ferry]

Cool, ty, will do that just in case, it doesn't take long

[safe quail]

If you are sure your game actually needs updating, you would download and extract the patch .zip, then copy all files from the patch .zip into your main game folder

If you are patching up from earlier than 5.1.1.1, I would potentially recommend just downloading the full game files again

[wooden ferry]

But yeah srsly, you handle this room so well since I've been here, which isnt long but damn a lot of people need help

[safe quail]

I appreciate that

Sometimes I feel like I'm not doing much because there's a lot of problems we just don't have enough information to fix

[warm dirge]

quick question, does anyone know how to install the full sprite pack on m1 mac?

[turbid terrace]

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

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

[safe quail]

Copy all sprites from the sprite pack into the custombattlers folder in ur game files

[warm dirge]

It wouldn't show me alt arts for umbreon/arbok even when I put the new sprite pack into custombattlers

[turbid terrace]

[safe quail]

The sprite pack folder itself being in custombattlers does not accomplish anything

The individual sprites need to be there

[warm dirge]

wait so whats wrong with this image

LOL

[safe quail]

What's wrong is that your sprite pack folder is inside your custombattlers folder

I'm going to explain the same thing again and hope it makes more sense

Inside the sprite pack folder is another custombattlers folder

When you look inside that, many sprites will appear

[warm dirge]

mhm

[safe quail]

You need to copy all of those sprites into the custombattlers folder the sprite pack folder is currently in

[warm dirge]

ohhh

[safe quail]

If they are not in that folder, they will not be recognized by the game

Once those sprites are in custombattlers, when the game boots it will sort every compatible sprite into the indexed folder

[warm dirge]

even the other things in that folder like 'other' and unfused icons? or

[safe quail]

No, don't worry about those

[warm dirge]

k

[safe quail]

They are separate graphics that would need to be installed manually

[serene belfry]

how to update game?

[safe quail]

If you are sure your game actually needs updating, you would download and extract the patch .zip, then copy all files from the patch .zip into your main game folder
If you are patching up from earlier than 5.1.1.1, I would potentially recommend just downloading the full game files again

[serene belfry]

im on 5.0.34

[safe quail]

Save files from before 5.1 have a chance of becoming incompatible with 5.1 versions

Due to various changes to the story

[serene belfry]

can i get all the current sprites from current patch onto my game or no?

i really just want more sprites

[safe quail]

You should be able to, yes

[serene belfry]

o k cool

just download sprite pack unzip into folder and im gucci?

[safe quail]

Not quite

Download and extract the 1-87 sprite pack, then drag its custombattlers folder into your graphics folder and let it replace the existing custombattlers folder

[warm dirge]

so

[safe quail]

This is an issue with the download sprites feature

If u can, try to turn it off in options

[serene belfry]

thanks brodie @safe quail

https://tenor.com/view/irissiry-irissiry129-irissiry-heart-gif-26252983

[warm dirge]

i cant even load in atm

should I delete that specific file

and hope it goes away

LOL

[safe quail]

U can try, but it will probably repeat with another sprite

the issue isn't that the sprite exists (in fact it might not exist), it's that the game can't find it

I feel like deleting it would just ensure the game can't find it

If this happened when you patched in the sprite pack, my personal recommendation would be to attempt to restore your custombattlers folder to its previous state, then turn off download sprites, then try again

In order to do this you may need to delete the current custombattlers folder and re-extract it from the full game .zip

[warm dirge]

oops lol oki

[safe quail]

Yeah, someone else said the same thing earlier

[sterile pivot]

is there a better download or is my computer dumb

[safe quail]

That's the best download source, but it seems to depend on what browser u used to download

[sterile pivot]

i used opera

[safe quail]

Yup

Opera is the prime suspect

[sterile pivot]

damn opera.

is it still safe or should i just use google

[haughty tendon]

Where do i find the alt launcher?

[sterile pivot]

i dont want my shitty computer to become worse

[safe quail]

Casdet!rfn and Agent Tesla have both been identified by people downloading from Opera

[wooden ferry]

Weird how my opera didn't say anything

[safe quail]

I feel like these are pretty specific and the antivirus wouldn't have detected them if they weren't there

I would download using something else

[sterile pivot]

ok, thank you for the help

[safe quail]

Also

U may want to ensure there is no personal information u care about in that screenshot

[sterile pivot]

not that i know of but ill just delete it

it was just the picture of the trojan and where they located, arobl is not my name

[safe quail]

For the record people who have failed to download using Opera often encounter the same issue when using Chrome, so lmk how this goes

[safe quail]

I didn't want to assume lol

[sterile pivot]

thats fine, if it doesnt work ill update

[safe quail]

The alt launcher comes with the full game .zip by default, but isn't in the light .zip

It's also missing from current downloads for legacy versions

[haughty tendon]

okay i downloaded the light version am i not going to be able to speed up the loading?

[safe quail]

Theoretically u would be able to download the full game .zip and extract only the alt launcher

But at that point you should probably just extract the full game and play on that

They are the same except that the full game takes up more local storage

Light version is missing alt launcher in an attempt to minimize local storage space

[haughty tendon]

okay then ill just setup the full version tysm

[safe quail]

With the full version, turning off the download sprites option becomes viable and has also been known to reduce load times

[native hill]

Can someone tell me how to update the game?

[safe quail]

@native hill

[native hill]

I did that and nothing changed

[safe quail]

Then my guess is that your game did not need to update

Do you know what you are trying to accomplish with this patch

[native hill]

go from 5.036 or whatever to the 5.1.2 or sum

[safe quail]

If you are patching from an older version and nothing changed, you did not do what I said

[native hill]

alright I got it down thanks

[safe quail]

Dope

[sterile pivot]

ok i tried with edge just because you said chrome would probably not work, and got the same error

[safe quail]

I've done downloads from the mega using edge and chrome with no issue, the edge download is what I use currently, but no flags were ever set off by my antivirus and a full scan revealed nothing

The edge download was maybe a week ago

[sterile pivot]

ok

[safe quail]

Something may have changed

[sterile pivot]

my computer doesnt usually do this

[safe quail]

Like with the others who have had your issue, I can't recommend ignoring it but my experience was different and I don't know why

[sterile pivot]

though it may be just overreacting cuz im downloading offline maybe?

(the offline version not downloading it literally offline)

[safe quail]

the version I use is also the full version

[sterile pivot]

thats weird then, i may just choose to ignore it

plus, theres seems to be no real trojan anyway

[safe quail]

You can choose to do that. I've passed it by my dad who's worked in IT for a long time and his initial response was "false positives can happen"

[sterile pivot]

ok good to know, thank you again

[safe quail]

It's just weird to me to see such a specific callout by the antivirus

[blazing rock]

this is probably just me being stupid but everytime i try to launch the game after downloading it i keep getting shown this ive reinstalled it already and dont know what to do

[safe quail]

Can you locate that .dll

[blazing rock]

i dont use files whats a .dll sorry

[safe quail]

You don't really need to know

I'm just asking if you can find the file that the game says it can't find

It should be in the main game folder

[blazing rock]

x-64-msvcrt-ruby310.dll

[safe quail]

Mmmmnope, that's the one above it

[blazing rock]

oh thats the one its showing me in the second message after i click off the first one

[muted crag]

uh f12 to quick reset crashes the game, is this normal/fixable

[safe quail]

Right

Based on the filesizes and file types I'm seeing in ur screenshot

I'm assuming u have them

[safe quail]

It is normal, it is not fixable

Don't use f12

[muted crag]

😦

so i just have to close and reopen

[safe quail]

Or exit to title, but that runs the risk of saving by accident

[muted crag]

why is bugged 😦

[safe quail]

RPGmaker seems to have a different idea of what the function should accomplish than the game does

[muted crag]

oh

[safe quail]

What folder is ur game folder in

[blazing rock]

ill check in a second im getting a snack

[warm dirge]

so, the turning off downloaded sprites didnt work

lol

[safe quail]

What is it saying now?

[warm dirge]

just another sprite failed downloading

same thing just different number png

LOL

[safe quail]

It shouldn't be downloading at all if uve disabled that option

I think the error is different

Can I see it

[blazing rock]

infinitefusion_5.1.2.4-full

[safe quail]

Right, and what folder is that in

[blazing rock]

downloads?

[safe quail]

ok

Take it out of downloads

Try moving it onto ur desktop

[blazing rock]

do i copy the zip file or the extracted one

[safe quail]

U don't have to copy u can just move it, but the extracted one

[blazing rock]

i sent it to desktop

[safe quail]

Try running it now

downloads folder messes with file organization

[blazing rock]

it still says code execution cannot proceed

[warm dirge]

oh wait i half fixed it

I just needed to update my game

lol

now its asking me if i want to autopmatically download sprites while playing

do i say yes or nah

[safe quail]

If ur on windows and it's not in ur downloads folder anymore and ur not running from the .zip, then I think u should try re-extracting from the .zip straight to desktop

[safe quail]

Say no

That will turn on the download sprites option

[blazing rock]

it crashed my computer lmao

[safe quail]

If it's asking if u want to import some sprites it's already detected

say yes

[sterile pivot]

turns out it was just mega because i was able to download it on mediafire

weird.

[safe quail]

Good to know, I think I've seen people with that issue on mediafire as well but I'll be sure to have people try it out in the future

[warm dirge]

ok, now im stuck with just the regular non-custom sprites

[safe quail]

ok, reboot ur game and see if it asks anything again

[sage void]

hi. I downloaded from mega. unzipped. launched game. was going fine, but some fusions are causing the game to crash. the crash occurs when i click on the 2nd pokemon to fuse. the 2 options to fuse into do not pop up. the game simply hangs until I close it, then crashes instead of close.

Latest Version
error message: The RGSS script seems to be stuck. Infinitefusion will now force quit.

specific fusions that cause the issue. squirtle with anything. ladyba with kakuna

[turbid terrace]

Hey @sage void! 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]

Make sure you're selecting fuse on the first pokemon and then bringing it to the second pokemon. If you move the first pokemon to the second and then select fuse, the game crashes

[warm dirge]

this what i got

[sage void]

I also am crashing with hanging with certain fusions trying to occur at the opening screen.

[safe quail]

Okay, interesting. And you added back the default custombattlers folder from the main game .zip?

[warm dirge]

ye

[safe quail]

In that case turn off download sprites in settings, it's trying to find sprites that you probably already have

[warm dirge]

this is the replaced full sprite pack one i downloaded

when I didnt replace it and with just full 5.1.2.4 the sprites were fine

[safe quail]

When you say replace do you mean you deleted the first one first

Or that you used the replace function

[blazing rock]

everytime i try to extract it to desktop again it goes to not responding and closes me out of the file

[warm dirge]

replace function

[safe quail]

That won't cut it because it's only replacing duplicate files, the unique files that exist there are staying. Delete the folder and bring back the default custombattlers folder

[sage void]

solved. thankyou very much. big headache avoided.

[safe quail]

Dope

[safe quail]

This seems to be an issue with ur pc and not with the game itself

U can try extracting using WinRAR or 7zip if u aren't already

But if u are, the issue may be that ur pc's file system is too cluttered and it needs to be defragged

[blazing rock]

i was extracting with smth called like pokegamecommunity

[safe quail]

That's... not an extraction tool

not a common one anyways

[blazing rock]

again i am like a toddler in file stuff

[warm dirge]

i have reinstalled the og custombattler

[safe quail]

Alright, run it and see what the game thinks now

[safe quail]

The Pokecommunity forums are probably the website where u first found the game

[blazing rock]

yea

[safe quail]

That has nothing to do with extraction

[blazing rock]

ok

[safe quail]

You will want to download either 7zip or winRAR which are free extractors

[blazing rock]

ok

[safe quail]

They are dedicated software that helps with extracting files from .zips

The windows default extractor has some issues

[warm dirge]

it says the same thing

LOL

[safe quail]

Well... at this point I would re-extract the entire game and try again there

Or, well

Don't do that just yet

I'm just surprised it's continued to ask you

Keep download sprites off

Is this just the default folder right now

[warm dirge]

ye

[safe quail]

Go ahead and try to install the sprite pack again

The issue I'm having right now is

That download sprites prompt may be blocking ur ability to tell the game to index the sprites that ur putting in

Not sure

[warm dirge]

hmm mayhaps

I think im just going to

give up

for today

i will try and reinstall another day

[safe quail]

sure

[blazing rock]

since my computers been having issues downloading it im trying the light version do i need to set it up any different
