Snorlax's IF Pokédex number is 143!

[safe quail]

Ok, the sprite would be named 99.143 (in the 99 index) or 143.99 (in the 143 index), can u locate it?

[brisk palm]

yeah its here

[safe quail]

Ok, remove the a from its name

This is a simple formatting error

[spiral spruce]

i see one that doesnt belong

[safe quail]

Normally selecting it in the pokedex would make it 99.143, even if it was 99.143a originally, but if there was no 99.143 to start with the pokedex gets confused

It appears u added this file manually and did not rename it, which is why it was not named correctly

[mild meadow]

Hey, I have a problem with the game (cf screenshot). Last thing I did was try to save and it said save failed. Any way to fix this?

[mystic remnant]

how would i go about changing where my saves are stored?

[safe quail]

Changing where the game stores and recognizes saves would be difficult but u can move existing saves wherever u want from the savefile location if u don't want the game to recognize it

[safe quail]

If the save failed, then the save is incomplete and essentially corrupted

[mystic remnant]

the former is what i was wondering lol

[safe quail]

U would need to locate every instance in every script where the savefile location is referenced and change the filepath, but even then there may be specific reasons why the savefile is written to its current location that may cause nonfunctionality

[mystic remnant]

fair, alright thank you

[mild meadow]

Okay I just erased my savefile and it works (thankfully I just started the game)

[safe quail]

Do u have any idea why ur save failed?

[mild meadow]

maybe because I used cheat engine for max money and DNA splicers ?

[safe quail]

Yes, that may have to do with it

[mild meadow]

I also want to have max rare candies but I haven't been able to find a rare candy early enough

[frank parrot]

If the newest version dont work for me rn recommend i install older version?

[safe quail]

What is not working ab them

Depending on the issue it may persist between versions

Right, u had the map issue above

That's most likely an issue with ur graphics card, which would not change between versions

[mild meadow]

Is there a way to hack in 999 rare candies at the start of the game?

[tame zodiac]

I'm having this problem a little before my first fight vs blue starts

[tame zodiac]

You can download a save with Magic Boots to activate Debug Mode and give yourself 999 Rare Candies

I'm pretty sure there's a Reddit Thread that says it

[viral galleon]

how can i fix the game crashing everytime i open it?

[safe quail]

What is the error it gives u

[viral galleon]

the game doesnt even start, no errors are given

it crashes, and it never happened b4 btw

it just randomly started happening again

I re-extracted the games again, but it still didnt work

[safe quail]

If we don't have an error and the game is closing on its own there's not much info to go off of

[viral galleon]

oh well

guess ill quit, thanks anyway though

[celest fossil]

How do i fix the webgl.20 issue it pops up randomly all the time and i dont know why because it lets me play sometimes then it wont let me play again

[safe quail]

I don't know what webGL is but openGL errors like the ones uve been posting typically mean there is an incompatibility with ur graphics drivers

[sage void]

idk if channel appropriate but I cant find any way to see the commands for the yanmega bot in botcommands. I see other people asking it if certain fusions have custom battlers but it deletes the message instantly so I cant see it

[safe quail]

U can see documentation through links in its bio

altho now that I'm looking at it

It seems like we are using a lot of custom commands and that general documentation wouldn't help with that

[celest fossil]

I undestand that but why do i only sometimes get errors? One day it will work then the next it wont

[safe quail]

Are u on laptop?

[frank parrot]

When i install 1 version i need install the patch too?

[safe quail]

No

[frank parrot]

I have a problem rn

Im trying to play but my screen is black

Im literally trying to play after like 3 days 💀

Idk how to fix this

Recommend i install an older version ?

[safe quail]

As I mentioned the last 2 times that is likely an issue with ur graphics card, changing versions will not improve that situation

[frank parrot]

Ok

So what recommend i do ?

[safe quail]

Unfortunately the only known solution is to get a better graphics card

[frank parrot]

Damn

💀

Some guy have the same thing but he fixed it

He say after an encounter

That fix

Im try that but dont work 💀

[safe quail]

It can fix itself after an encounter but nothing would be stopping it from happening again

[frank parrot]

So that can fix just for a moment ?

[safe quail]

Supposedly

[frank parrot]

Dang

I try that but dont work

[buoyant sun]

anyway to change controller inputs nintendo controller i got has "b" for "a" input

[safe quail]

F1 opens keybinds but can't really change them on controller using the main launcher, I've heard alt launcher works better with controller keybinds

[regal obsidian]

Has anyone had an issue with their game taking SUPER long pauses when opponents send out fusions, you sent out a specific fusion, or when trying to move Pokémon around in the box to fuse?

[safe quail]

Many have yes

Turn off download sprites and change combined icons to dna in options

[regal obsidian]

Thanks! I’ll try it out when I get home

[buoyant sun]

anything particular about the alternate launcher im getting a black screen?

[turbid terrace]

Hey @buoyant sun! 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

[buoyant sun]

im hoping that's just an auto response

[safe quail]

It is an auto response

But also

The alt launcher just takes a long time

It looks like it's not working if u don't know what it's doing

Which is why it's the alt launcher

If it doesn't boot in like 10min

Then it's probably not gonna do it

[arctic viper]

Just got the game on android, using joiplay and v5.1.2
Won't let that thing hit level 10 and gives me that code. Any help would be appreciated

[turbid terrace]

Hey @arctic viper! 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.

[normal spruce]

First time downloading. Any help please?

[safe quail]

Try to mash past the intro screen before a fusion appears

Then turn off download sprites when it asks

[wheat whale]

thoughts?

[safe quail]

Similar issue

Turn off download sprites

[wheat whale]

im trying to import the new sprite back though

do i still turn it off?

[safe quail]

Right, ull want to turn off download sprites to do that

If ur already manually installing the sprite pack

[wheat whale]

ohhh ok

[safe quail]

download sprites doesn't do anything anymore

[normal spruce]

How do I do that? I can't even get past the first screen

[fading quail]

is this also a problem because of the sprite packs?

[safe quail]

No, that's an issue with the randomizer

[sinful plover]

Hey guys, I cannot teleport in my game anymore. Every time that I try to teleport, the game show the map but it doesnt show the thing to choose the map to go to. Does anyone knows how to fix it? Already uninstalled and everything but.. nothing.

[safe quail]

Judging by ur screenshot u waited for the two pokemon on either side of the title screen to come together in the middle and fuse, I'm asking u to advance the menu before that happens

[fading quail]

eh, ive had this a few times now when randomizing the runs, is there any solution to tryingf to randomize the game without getting these errors? its alwyas the same trainers

[safe quail]

Not really, the only solution I've seen for current version is to turn off whatever rando option u think is causing issues

[safe quail]

U can try using the debugger tool or visiting the update man and see if either of those fix ur game

[fading quail]

eh, ill guess ill stick to a normal run for now

[sinful plover]

Already did both 😦

[safe quail]

The next thing u can try is re-extracting and replacing ur data folder

[sinful plover]

Did that too

[safe quail]

Then no clue

[normal spruce]

Okay managed to do that do I download them manually off the website?

[safe quail]

We have a .zip with the sprites in the #downloads channel

[normal spruce]

Tha k you Ferrous

[buoyant sun]

thx thought someone was watching my screen

[coarse bolt]

so i get this when i open the game any 1 know how to fix it?

[safe quail]

Probably re-extract and replace ur data folder

[coarse bolt]

so i did that and then this happend

[safe quail]

Hmm

This issue is with the download sprites option

Unfortunately what I would've recommended is exactly what u just did

So u can try it again ig, but if that doesn't work then idk of a way to turn off the download sprites option before u boot the game

[coarse bolt]

dang

[safe quail]

v5.1.1.1 does not have the feature so u could play that

[vapid willow]

I'm trying to migrate an older save to 5.0+ but whenever I use the tool. I keep getting the message of "file not found" Is there something I'm misssing?

[safe quail]

Whether or not the savefile migrator works seems inconsistent
And regardless, many saves pre-5.1 have been incompatible with current versions

[vapid willow]

Thanks, I'm really just trying to get a completed save file

But having a hell of a time trying to find one

[safe quail]

I can just send u mine

[vapid willow]

Thanks man, I'd appreciate that

really want that debug mode

[coarse bolt]

so where can i find version 5.1.1.1?

[safe quail]

Older versions in the mega

[coarse bolt]

so do i just have to wait for awhile on this screen or my game still not working?

[vapid willow]

Does anyone have a debug mode save file?

[safe quail]

Can I see ur main game folder

[polar brook]

games doesn't read .PNG [capitals] only lower case

nvm I see he posted the link lol, another +1 for pinning it

[safe quail]

Why are u replying to messages from almost 2 weeks ago

[coarse bolt]

so i found the problem and games works again thanks for the help but in version 5.1.1.1 how do i use speed up? xD

[safe quail]

Q

[coarse bolt]

thanks alot for all the help

[hot yarrow]

Hey I tried saving while my drive was full and now It pulls up this error code when I try to open it. Any fix?

[safe quail]

Don't think so

Think ur done

[hot yarrow]

Thanks any way

[lethal light]

my game keeps freezing during a rival fight, any way to fix it?

[waxen magnet]

Hello Tech-support! A friend of mine is having issues with the Game. The overworld isn't loading. It's a black Void. He already read the FAQ and reinstalled the game 2 times, but it remains the same. We're trying to solve the problem for 2 days now, i sent him my whole folder(the game runs perfectly on my PC), but it's still the same. Does anyone have any Tips that might help him?

[edgy igloo]

I keep getting this error;

[safe quail]

Ur save data is incomplete, did u have issues saving

[sonic knot]

Twice in the last ~hour I have had this happen

[edgy igloo]

it did say "save failed" but I saved again and it went fine

[safe quail]

This is most commonly associated with a graphics card incompatibility

[safe quail]

Well ig it's not fine anymore

whatever save data it's trying to read isn't enough

[edgy igloo]

no fix? I just got to the e4

[safe quail]

Generally not, we have no way to repair save data atm

[safe quail]

U encountered a shiny and the game didn't like it

v5.1.2.3+ have patched this issue

[edgy igloo]

any way to prevent it in the future?

[safe quail]

Don't do things that are likely to mess with ur save file

[edgy igloo]

I was just doing a nuzlocke ;~;

[safe quail]

Corrupted/incompatible saves are most commonly created when updating, when interrupting the save process, when using cheat/debug tools, or when interacting with abnormal instances caused by the game

If u were doing a nuzlocke by cheating in rare candies

[sudden quest]

i missed sprite pack 86, does this mean i have to do the entire 1-87 to get it?

[safe quail]

That would impact it

[edgy igloo]

gurl why would someone cheat at a nuzlocke

[sonic knot]

I downloaded the game 2 weeks ago, is v5.1.2.3 more recent than that?

[waxen magnet]

Thanks! So updating the graphic card drivers might help?

[safe quail]

U would be surprised how many people are asking for rare candy cheats bc they don't want to grind nuzlockes

[safe quail]

Not generally... it's the card itself

[safe quail]

U should be able to tell what version u have based on the name of the folder or .zip

[edgy igloo]

could alt tabbing break it?

[safe quail]

Alt tabbing a fullscreen game is generally unadvisable, but it shouldn't impact ur save

[waxen magnet]

Okay.. but it might...? We really want to play the game together simultaneously....

[safe quail]

It might

U can try

[lethal light]

my game is freezing constantly after a few minutes and force quitting, whats causing it?

[safe quail]

But the only solution I've seen if u have the Intel HD Graphics 4000 card

[waxen magnet]

Okay thanks 4 ur help!

[safe quail]

Is to get a better card

[safe quail]

Do u get an error

[lethal light]

no

it just freezes

one sec

ill take a picture

[edgy igloo]

I played windowed, this is the second time this has happened but the first time I was only like 2~ gyms in and didnt really care for the team I got dealt, I just wanna know why it keeps happening ;~;

[safe quail]

How is ur storage space doing

[lethal light]

does this have something to do with it?

[edgy igloo]

Ah. That mustve been it, thanks for the help

[safe quail]

Why is it in ur onedrive

[lethal light]

idk how to get it out

[safe quail]

Well u need to

[lethal light]

how?

[safe quail]

Game doesn't like cloud storage or downloads folder

U move it

U click and drag it

From the onedrive folder

To a local folder

[lethal light]

whats a local folder?

[safe quail]

Anything in ur C drive for instance

[lethal light]

how do i move it to my c drive?

[safe quail]

.

[lethal light]

what all do i need to move?

[safe quail]

Ideally all of it

But the only thing that's needed to run the game

Is infinitefusion_5.1.2.4-full

[polar brook]

Jan should have a video out for that soon enough, so hopefully they'll stop asking

[lethal light]

been stuck here for 4 minutes

[polar brook]

... how much storage do you have on that computer

[safe quail]

I occasionally get people whose downloads automatically store to cloud

And they have no idea how to use local storage

I have no idea what ur pc's issue is, I'm just saying that the game doesn't like cloud storage

[polar brook]

it's likely the machine they're playing on doesn't have local storage access

if it's something set up for remote access/use it's not uncommon for the machine to default to cloud

[safe quail]

That should be enough

[polar brook]

like parents setting up something for some one to get school work done

indeed it should b

[safe quail]

The error we were given says u got timed out by cloud

But why

[normal ginkgo]

is it normal for the game to freeze when indexing new sprites

[safe quail]

Yes

[lethal light]

idk

[polar brook]

what browser are you using to download or move the files out of OneDrive

[safe quail]

Wouldn't that be a file explorer process

[polar brook]

it could be either, but yea likely just going thru the file explorer

[lethal light]

i think i used opera

[safe quail]

LOL

Well Opera has been having its own issues

But if it downloaded fine that's fine

[polar brook]

try a different browser and see if u have the option to choose where it saves to

under settings most browsers will let u choose where to save stuff, something along the lines of

"ask me before saving"

[lethal light]

where is that setting?

[polar brook]

under settings, tho this is FireFox

also ffs

before u guys skin me

[safe quail]

What

[polar brook]

monster hunter "racism chart"

[safe quail]

Oh for racism

Yea

We would do that

[polar brook]

happy to hear that

[safe quail]

Why u have tabs open for both world and rise tho

[polar brook]

huh, they're not open just saved

book marks bar!

[safe quail]

Oh they're bookmarks

They look kinda like tabs in the first image

[polar brook]

mmhm, an I know

so mny pokeman tabs

even better is me watching pokemon, while playing pokemon, while talking about pokemon

[indigo matrix]

am i dumb or is there a simple fix for this

stuck for a minute

[polar brook]

how long are you letting it load

[indigo matrix]

15 min so far

[safe quail]

It wouldn't load at this juncture

Can I see ur main game folder

[polar brook]

oof

[safe quail]

It looks like u might be dumb

[indigo matrix]

yea sure one sec

[safe quail]

Yup

U downloaded the patch

That's not the full game

[indigo matrix]

gonna claw my eyes out

ty

[polar brook]

me seeing Jynx x Rampardos switch in with Mold Break on my Shediard D:

[lethal light]

can someone walk me through the full download procedure so i dont screw up? im very confused

[polar brook]

ima send u screen shots

[safe quail]

U mostly did it correctly

It's just that u downloaded to cloud

Which the game doesn't like

[polar brook]

open up oprea and find the settings and let's look for the download options

[jolly condor]

I'm not sure why but I can't extract the game files?

[polar brook]

maybe change from downloads to a folder on your desktop labeled "Pokemon Infinite Fusion"

[safe quail]

If the explorer or antivirus isn't throwing up an error, then I can only assume ur PC doesn't like extracting files. Are u using 7-zip/WinRAR?

[polar brook]

no don't change the entire downloads folder to that!

[red lily]

when playing randomized mode, starters don't come out so the battle is just stuck on this screen

[polar brook]

When u click on the mega Download Link make a new folder

[lethal light]

ohh

[safe quail]

Honestly I thought u meant this too

And I was like "ig that's fine if he changes it back"

[safe quail]

This is p funny

I've never seen people get this far and still have an issue

[polar brook]

fair point,

[safe quail]

Generally the current version of the game doesn't like randomizers

But in this instance

I guess I would ask if u have download sprites turned on

[red lily]

yes sir

[safe quail]

Turn it off

[jolly condor]

Does downloading it from opera gx just not work? Every time it's either corrupt or won't let me use administrator privileges

[lethal light]

so do i set it to just go to my hard drive

[safe quail]

Yeah opera is being pissy about the files

[red lily]

i am playing the lite version though, maybe that has something to do with it?

[safe quail]

U can try a diff browser but typically the issue persists

[polar brook]

yar

[safe quail]

Light version means that if u turn off download sprites ull default to autogenerated sprites for everything u haven't downloaded yet

[polar brook]

set the destination for that individual download, some where on your hardriver

[safe quail]

U will have to install the sprite pack manually to get around that

But download sprites is probably the culprit here

[red lily]

wait a second, we have a development. The pokemon came out, it just took a long ass time, now its stuck on my pokemon again LOL

[safe quail]

Yeah

I'm almost certain it's download sprites, the game is trying to download these sprites for the first time and is encountering issues

[red lily]

ah so that would be it

i have fast internet, so hope this doesn't last to long

would it be fixed if i just ran the non-lite version with updated sprites? I would assume so

[lethal light]

so do i download using mega now?

[polar brook]

yes

[safe quail]

Lite and non-lite are the same

Diff is just storage space

[red lily]

but that would mean the latest sprites are already available to the game no? so it would not get stuck every time i encounter a pokemon. It's taking like 5 minutes at a time

[lethal light]

which do i download? i dont care for the old versions i just want the most recent one

[polar brook]

5.1.2.4 full

[lethal light]

ok

[jolly condor]

Every time I try to extract this message pops up

[paper rock]

I was downloading the pokemon infinite fusion file through mediafire is it normal for windows to catch trojan win32 files as viruses?

[lethal light]

ok i saved the game to my usb

[polar brook]

D: but not ur hard drive, ok no worries I guess, try running it

[lethal light]

i wanted to be able to easily move it to my new pc when i eventually get one without having to redownload

what do i do to get the new sprites+fixes?

[polar brook]

make sure the game boots & runs first

[lethal light]

i found the feb 1-87

ok

wait dont i need to unzip it?

[polar brook]

the full download, yep

[lethal light]

how i do it?

my friend did it for me before

i have winrar

[safe quail]

Neither version "has" the latest sprites, and both have download sprites on by default, which does pull from the latest sprite pack. The difference is that the light version doesn't have a default pool of custom sprites to use if it can't download from the sprite pack

The problem either way is that the download sprites feature is on, which checks for a new sprite from the sprite pack every time, no matter what

[lethal light]

also winzip

[safe quail]

WinRAR is fine

Idk what winzip is

[lethal light]

ok

[safe quail]

But probably also fine

[lethal light]

do i click one of these options?

[safe quail]

Oh

If u expand that winzip menu what are ur options

It's treating it like an unarchived file which is strange to me

[paper rock]

Is it normal that the game is recognized as a virus when downloading?

[safe quail]

It can be, particularly if u downloaded from Opera

[paper rock]

oh.

[safe quail]

Or tried to download from Opera at first

Only 1 person has ever said they actually got a virus from it and I'm not sure if they actually did or if they just believed their antivirus and didn't realize that viruses can't do anything until they're unzipped

If u wanna be safe tho

U would want to scan the .zip before extracting

just to see if the antivirus still has a problem with it

It's typical for the antivirus to have a problem with .zips ur trying to download from the internet

[paper rock]

Nah I'm just wondering because when I used mega it downloaded normally but I realized I downloaded the wrong version and mega is really annoying with their download limits so I went to the mediafire link from Xillo

[safe quail]

Right

The most common positive I've seen was casdet!rfn

P sure it's a false positive

[paper rock]

just gonna turn off windows thing for now

because anything is a virus for windows

[lethal light]

so how do i extract the file?

[safe quail]

Yea I'm looking at this

And I don't get it

All of these options seem like they think ur file has already been extracted

And they're asking if u want to unextract them, basically

If u select it and right-click it again I assume u don't get different options

[paper rock]

Actually the main problem is extracting the file after I download it, the second I press extract the file explorer just freezes and crashes

[safe quail]

Typically that means ur antivirus is still stopping u from interacting with the files

Either that or ur system is so messy that it just doesn't wanna extract anything rn

Ur using default extractor or 7zip or winrar or what

[paper rock]

default

[safe quail]

Try one of the others

[paper rock]

alright

[lethal light]

should i try downloading somewhere else?

[safe quail]

I guess? I'm not sure what's going wrong, unless it's somehow bc ur using a thumb drive

[lethal light]

i can try chrome

nvm

cant use chrome

my friggin settings are whack

ITS FIXED

[safe quail]

Dope

[lethal light]

one of the files i tried to transfer over just worked

idk why

but i can play noe

now

[safe quail]

What are u trying to do here

[lethal light]

move the new sprites to custombattlers

[safe quail]

ok

If u press try again what happens

[lethal light]

same thing

[safe quail]

Same sprite?

[lethal light]

yep

theres 266 that arent workinf

working*

[safe quail]

Idk what would be causing this

Ig u can skip them

[smoky vessel]

I have the most updated sprite pack updated but im still getting a diffrent sprite and have been trying to figure this out for the past hour

[safe quail]

Sec

This sprite has like

4 alts

U should be able to switch between them in the pokedex entry for the fusion

[thin vessel]

Playing randomizer, 5.1.2.4, and I cannot get anymore HMs or TMs. Everything I get just turns into Sunny Day. I cannot progress anymore because I never got Cut. Any way to fix this?

[void parrot]

Can any body help
If i am in a black screen, it always load so long. Why is it like that?

[turbid terrace]

Hey @void parrot! 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.

I'm trying to download the game and I got this error, what do I do? (Please explain like I'm 5 I know nothing about emulators/fan games)

[safe quail]

Amazing

Never seen this issue before

Unspecified error is very unhelpful

[sterile owl]

Hi can someone check my post in #bug-reports-newest-version and help me figure it out?

[chrome bough]

It's a background music file. If I skip it will the area be silent or will it just crash when I go to the area that's supposed to play that?

[safe quail]

That's a good question

Because

Some areas just don't play music

But I know someone on mac was having audio issues that eventually just crashed the game when they got to I think it was lavender town

Do u know how many items are being interrupted?

Is it just this one?

[chrome bough]

As far as I can tell it's just this one

[safe quail]

I don't really know when this will be used but ig u can skip it for now and we can look at it if ur game crashes due to an audio error later

[chrome bough]

Ok, I clicked skip and now the transfer speed immediately dropped to 0 bytes/s

[rare echo]

do i have to do the full+patch download to upgrade from 5.1.1 to 5.1.2?

[chrome bough]

That seems to have resolved on its own

[safe quail]

Yea the download speeds can do weird things

[safe quail]

No u just need the patch

U can do the full download if u want to keep them separate

That's what I've done

[chrome bough]

Yeah. I was told by my friend who actually knows what he's doing that it probably won't take "more than a day" like it says on screen, and it'll start going fast at some point

[covert thunder]

Moving the file? This is weird. Have you already downloaded it and you're trying to put it in another directory?

'Cus that's a Windows error box

[safe quail]

I think that's during extraction

[chrome bough]

I am pretty sure that's the case but as I mentioned idk what I'm doing and my tech support went home

[covert thunder]

If that's extraction then the problem is probably due to you using Windows Explorer to do the extracting - Windows ain't very good at it, tbh

I recommend using 7zip

[safe quail]

If that's the only file that dropped that's probably fine

[covert thunder]

Since you clicked skip on that file it means 1 of 3 things might happen:

1. When you get to the area where the music is used there'll be no music.
2. When you get to the area where the music is used the game will crash.
3. The game will crash on loading because it can't locate all the files.

3 is extremely unlikely, but I have no real idea how the launcher was coded so it could maybe happen

But given that the game crashes when it can't use/find a specific sprite, I'd say the most likely outcome is 1

[safe quail]

Worst case scenario I can just pass u the .mp3 and show u where it goes

If I had to guess I would imagine the issue is with the E in Pokemon looking really fucked up

[covert thunder]

Yeah, a lot of Windows software can't read special characters very well

[chrome bough]

Got it, I'd appreciate that, thanks!

[mint dust]

anyone else just get stuck behind a paywall for premium service when trying to downlaod the mega link? mines been stuck at 92% for hours

[safe quail]

It sounds like u tried to download the entire mega, which is unnecessary

If ur getting rate limited u can use the mediafire link in Xillo's bio, instead

[mint dust]

oh cheers

[frigid galleon]

hey, playing on a mac emulator via wine or smth, and game keeps senidng me an error message and quitting the game whenever i talk to a gym trainer. any quick fix to this or should i include the screenshot of the exact error?

[safe quail]

Screenshot would be nice

But if I had to guess

Ur playing on rando

And the current version of the game doesn't like rando

so the quickest fix is to turn off rando

In this case it would be gym rando

[frigid galleon]

so turn off gym randomizer w/ the settings guy?

[safe quail]

Yea

[frigid galleon]

ok thanks so much

that worked,thanks again

[safe quail]

np

[covert thunder]

Was the exact error something about custom sprites?

[frigid galleon]

yeah

[covert thunder]

I tested something like this with another user the other day, and while I couldn't pinpoint the cause of the issue I was able to use various settings for randomisation that worked fine.

The message I linked to and a few of mine just after it have all the information of what I tried and tested

But it's probably something to do witht he auto sprite downloader

[safe quail]

As per usual

[weak gazelle]

soo umm

randomizer shouldnt be randomizing HMs

it keeps deadlocking my saves

even the npc in poke center cant fix it

[spiral nest]

Does anyone know how to solve a runtime error issue when trying to randomize? I saw a few people post on reddit but no responses or suggestions. I deleted all folders to clear my saves but they were still around oddly and I can't get past this issue

[west flume]

Does anyone know the potion code so I can change it in to rare candy?

[weak gazelle]

RARECANDY

spelt just like that

[blazing rock]

my game just sped up like 8x without me doing anything

[west flume]

No it's a 8 digit numerical code

[versed palm]

my game just lags when a sprite in my party is to load it didnt do it earlier just recently

[open badger]

I'm just so frustrated. This has happened over a dozen times on this run in the past day, and it's never happened prior to any other saves.

[safe quail]

This tends to be connected to randomizer

[versed palm]

can anyone help

[safe quail]

Yeah u can try turning off download sprites and changing combined icons to dna

[versed palm]

how do i do that

[safe quail]

They're in options

[versed palm]

ok

TY IT WORKED

[low fox]

when i try to open the game it says x64-msvcrt-ruby300.dll was not found

what is that

[safe quail]

That's a code library

The game probably has it

But its file organization is getting messed up

[velvet vector]

Hey, so I just downloaded version 5.1.2.4 and I tried to start a randomizer, and my game crashes. I though it was because I changed the files to have debug mode on, but after reverting it the game still crashes.

[safe quail]

No it's because the game doesn't like randomizers

#tech-support message try here

[velvet vector]

But I'm using the randomizer mode in-game

[safe quail]

I know

It still doesn't like it

[velvet vector]

Oh ok, thanks!

[low fox]

okay so how do i fix it

idk if i downlaoded the right one the winodws security said it was a virus

[safe quail]

Search the discord for missing game.ini and follow the bot's checklist

That's normal, if ur on Opera

[low fox]

okay

thank you my man i got worried i downlaoded a virus and was screwed

[safe quail]

Only one person has reported actually having a virus and I'm not sure if they actually got one or if they just believed their antivirus

[low fox]

ahh hey if you dont mind helping me again do i need to change the keybinds to paly without a controller

[safe quail]

One person of the like I wanna say 70 people I've talked to who have used Opera to download the game

There are default keybinds for controller

But u can't change them unless u run the game from the alternate launcher

[low fox]

but i dont need a controller to run the game i can use keyboard and mouse

[real condor]

It happens very often when encountering pokemon in the grass

[safe quail]

Yea

[real condor]

Is there a way to fix this?

[low fox]

thank you so much youve been a ton of help

[safe quail]

np

[safe quail]

#tech-support message

[real condor]

What do 0) and 3) mean?

[safe quail]

I wouldn't bother with 0) for now

3. refers to the man in a black suit in the top floor of pokecenters who u can ask to do many things, including reshuffle ur randomizer

[real condor]

So what should I do with him?

[safe quail]

reshuffle ur randomizer

[real condor]

ok i will try

[lethal light]

why does my game keep doing this?

it happens every time i leave a pokecenter in certain locations as well as when entering gyms

[coarse bolt]

so i changed my game 5.1.1.1 to fix another issue i had and now i cant meet any wild pokemon any ideas?? i even tried sweet scent and it just says that theres nothing there

[devout granite]

my save file isnt shwoing up

my alst save file was in 4.9.1

this is 5.2.4

i didnt load the agme up in a looooong time

bruh

nobody is here

[rough idol]

There is a file specifically for migrating older savefiles to 5.0+

I would assume you have to click that

[devout granite]

whichone should i open

foudnj it

Wait no

its not iopening

Help

[teal violet]

No idea, do you have the zips extracted? if you download the patch make sure to extract it into your game folder and don't just try run it

[normal spruce]

I cant get past the initial animation on start up. I managed to stop sprite download, and downloaded the sprite pack myself, is this a different error?

[robust mantle]

Trying to get the latest sprite pack and it keeps crashing on 058.104

Whilst transferring I should say

[hot flicker]

Your save file won't be able to transfer to the newest version

[hot flicker]

Then remove that file

[hot flicker]

You need to randomize the game again. Talk to the update man in the pokecenter

[hot flicker]

Unless you're trying to extract it. Then use a different piece of software to extract

[robust mantle]

I extracted it, was trying to move it to the graphics folder, trying to locate it now

Ok another interesting issue, I've just downloaded the latest patch too and I am no longer getting wild encounters

[opal wing]

hey is this the channel to ask if im having an issue importing some of the new sprites?

[hot flicker]

Talk to the update man in the pokecenter. Randomize your game again

[hot flicker]

Could be

[robust mantle]

Ok thank you will let you know if that works

[opal wing]

have a strange issue, I just grabbed the 1-87 pack and the all imported fine, except for anything fused with a bidoof

[robust mantle]

There's a patch in announcements

[hot flicker]

That's normal. All those came as .PNG they need to be renamed to .png

[opal wing]

ahhh thanks for that

[hot flicker]

But yes, look at announcements

[devout granite]

then what do i do???

[robust mantle]

@hot flicker that worked, thank you

[hot flicker]

You start anew

[hot flicker]

Np

[devout granite]

NOOOOO

[robust mantle]

Sorry back again, trying to do the triples and it says I've done the gen 2 one when I haven't, only just gotten a meganium, spoke to the guy and did fix game but still the same, any ideas?

[hot flicker]

I honestly have no idea what you are referring to

[robust mantle]

The triple fusion machine with colress, I took the gen 2 starters to him and he said I have already done that one when I haven't, I've done all the others just not that one

[woeful current]

uh hey so is this the channel to get help with game crashes? (sorry new)

[hot flicker]

Ah gotcha. Someone else had that same problem. No idea what the fix is

[hot flicker]

Ask your question

[woeful current]

hi so i just started the game, downloaded the light verison from the link, and added the modern mode patch cause it seemed fun

[robust mantle]

Was that gen 2 too do you know? I guess I'll leave that one until there's a fix perhaps

[woeful current]

but as soon as i pick my starter and get challenged by blue it just crashes?

[hot flicker]

Why did you add the modern patch to it?

[woeful current]

it seemed like a fun thing, does it break it or something?

[hot flicker]

Where did you read you needed to do that?

[woeful current]

in the faq it mentioned it

i just followed the instructions on the posts

[hot flicker]

Can you link that to me?

[woeful current]

....

i just realised my mistake

[hot flicker]

Great. Glad you found that.

[woeful current]

i didnt realise it was only compatible with 4.9 WOOPS

[sterile pivot]

I’m having a problem where the game shows a black screen for at least 15s after a battle or after leaving a building is there anything I could do to fix it?

[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

[sterile pivot]

It’s not this tho

[smoky garnet]

Anyone know how instal not fused pokemon sprite?game just dont see them

[hot flicker]

Use the alternate launcher.exe

[sterile pivot]

It doesn’t open

[hot flicker]

Is it a black screen?

[turbid terrace]

[sterile pivot]

Yeah but it says like the same thing as this pic ^

[hot flicker]

Does it stay black or does an error pop up? It takes at least 5 minutes to load

[sterile pivot]

The error pops up

I tried running it as admin

But that also didn’t work

[hot flicker]

The only thing then is to turn off fused sprites and turn off download sprites in settings

[sterile pivot]

Okay I’ll try that thank you!

[long dome]

Is there a way to play this game with a mac?

[fossil fog]

Whenever I load into a new area it takes almost 2 minutes of black screen

[turbid terrace]

[versed palm]

help

[fossil fog]

It also happens when I finish a trainer battle

[versed palm]

<@&306953740651462656> how do i fix this

[tall holly]

Interesting. Usually a fusion not having a sprite instantly crashes the game

[versed palm]

i have another one

munchlax and breloom

it's the same too

but some of them load

[tall holly]

Idk if it's a sprite issue or not, but I suppose you could check those sprites inside your game's graphics folder

[versed palm]

i put the folder in #downloads in the game graphics

[tall holly]

The whole folder, or the sprites inside it?

[versed palm]

the custom battlers folder

in the graphics

[tall holly]

So you replaced the custombattlers folder?

[versed palm]

yes

[tall holly]

I think that's your issue then

[versed palm]

drag the pack's custombattlers folder into your game's graphics folder and it will merge with the existing one. then, run the game, and it will index all the files. if it asks you if you want to replace the existing sprites with the new ones, select yes!

i did exactly this

[tall holly]

You're supposed to drag the sprites themselves inside the folder to your game's custombattlers

[versed palm]

one by one?

[tall holly]

Well you can select them all at once

[versed palm]

ok

[tall holly]

By click-and-drag, or ctrl+a

[versed palm]

the packs custombattler ones into my pcs graphics one right?

[tall holly]

Ye

[versed palm]

k

[tall holly]

The sprites inside the pack's custombattlers folder, dragged into the game's custombattlers folder

[versed palm]

what about the alts them too?

[tall holly]

However, since you replaced your folder before, you may also need to reinstall the game's files to fix that

[versed palm]

that means i'll lose my progress

?

[tall holly]

Nope

Your save will be fine

[tall holly]

You won't need the alt folder no

[thin vessel]

My HM/TMs are broken, half of what I get just turns into Sunny Day, never got Cut from the captain, what do I do?

[versed palm]

i am done with the sprites

[sudden canopy]

For future reference, generally us mods aren't the go-to people for tech support. 😅

[versed palm]

alright ty

[versed palm]

now how do i reinstall game files

[tall holly]

Well grab the game from #downloads (or my bio if you can't use MEGA) and then extract the zip to a new folder/replace your old one, and just use that instead

[versed palm]

then what about the sprites i just imported

[tall holly]

Well you should've imported them to your new copy, rather than the one you just did

[versed palm]

ah

[versed palm]

so how do i import my saves

[tall holly]

You won't need to do anything, they carry over on their own since the save is in a seperate spot on your computer

[still finch]

any ideas why i am getting this error

5.1.2.4 light version

I get the same error using the full version as well

[gloomy heath]

I don’t know if this is the right place for it, but I’ve tried voting for sprites on several occasions over several days and I haven’t been able to vote. It keeps saying “this interaction failed”

[versed palm]

it didnt

work

;-;

[tall holly]

The sprite thing or the saves?

[versed palm]

sprite

thing

[tall holly]

Ah. Hmm unfortunately that's all I got

[versed palm]

i cant find the sprites individually anywhere

[tall holly]

It's an error with your audio driver. Plug in headphones or speakers and the game will work

[versed palm]

what

the pack is missing

the sprites

how

no 130.35

[tall holly]

Even without a customsprite in the packs, your game would automatically come with an autogen

So whatever this issue is probably has nothing to do with the pack

[versed palm]

so u know anyone who can help me?

[still finch]

Is the non light version likely to have less lag spikes then the light version?

[bronze oriole]

hello can anybody tell me what im suppose to do when this happens?

[dusky kernel]

I have less of a tech support issue, and ore of a question that potentially would result in a tech support issue.

If I download the sprite pack, will it permanently alter the sprites that the game uses? Rather, if the game updates will it copy over the sprite pack to show that versions new sprites?

In addition, does the monthly sprite pack include all the sprites that came before it?

[dull bloom]

My hotel door is missing and the door to enter rotom room isn't there even though I beat gold

I was able to enter, there was just no door

[stoic sigil]

Try looking for the annotated file (Graphics\Pictures\water) in the game zip, re-extract it and copy, paste and replace it into the game files. The image might be corrupted, extractors are susceptible to that with zips containing lots of images

You can extract singular files in WinRAR and 7-zip by opening the zip file in the program, navigating to the file or folder you want and just dragging and dropping into the place you want to extract to

[stoic sigil]

It will and it will not. Custom and autogen sprites are separated into the CustomBattlers and Battlers folders under Graphics and sprite packs only touch CustomBattlers. Sprite packs should not remove any previous custom sprites from the game, but rather move some of them to be alts that can be switched to via the pokedex, in case a new sprite is voted to be the main sprite in #dex-entries-submissions. When the game updates, there's a patch version of the download available for those that already have a previous (5.0+) version that only includes the updated files, so it shouldn't affect custom sprites

[glad quartz]

Is Deino down? I can't get any of the tags to work over in #ask-a-bot

?tags [dithering]

[stoic sigil]

The monthly sprite pack, named e.g. 87 will only contain that particular pack. There's always a separate collection named e.g. 1-87 that contains all the packs ever done with the latest corrections (that would normally be in a separate folder in a monthly pack)

[dusky kernel]

Thank you. To that end, are the sprite packs removable? I have put in over 150 hours into the game, with having 2 of every pokemon. I want to make sure I don't break something and have to start from scratch. :p

[stoic sigil]

1. Back up your save frequently.
2. I really doubt the sprites could cause save corruption, if you ever get a missing sprite error, just check the image the error's referring to and replace that one.
3. Sprite packs are technically removable if you go through each subfolder under Graphics\CustomBattlers\indexed\ and remove their contents (leaving the empty folders intact), but there shouldn't be a reason to do so.

[dusky kernel]

Thank you so much. How do I backup my save? I believe I saw something about that in the game itself, but when I tried it I was unsure if it did what was intended.

[stoic sigil]

The game simply reads the images stored in these folders directly, it doesn't convert them to some structure of its own at any point, so the mechanics are really simple

[stoic sigil]

I just go to the savefile location (there's a link in the game files) and make a copy of the files somewhere else, renaming the backups to add a date to the end

[dusky kernel]

ah, so it's that simple. I'm assuming if I needed to load a backup I'd simply replace the save file information and paste it in?

[stoic sigil]

Then if I ever need to restore, I just delete the previous save and paste a backup in, and remove the date

[dusky kernel]

hah, ok. Thank you for all the help you've given me. I see there's what looks like an instruction picture how to include the sprite pack in the game files. I should be good now.

[turbid terrace]

Hey @dusky kernel! 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!

[compact moon]

How do i add the fixed extensions?

[stoic sigil]

I believe the pack just contains those particular sprites and you should just copy those over to CustomBattlers like with any sprite pack

[compact moon]

So basically just extract it in CustomBattlers?

Ive never used a sprite pack so yeah

[sterile pivot]

I keep getting incompatible marshal format I really like where I am in the game is their any possible way I can fix it and still be where I am in the game

[stoic sigil]

Yeah. I recommend clearing the folder first, in case Windows doesn't touch the extensions and keeps them capitalized since normally capitalization doesn't matter

[compact moon]

Clearing as in ? Also ty for the help really!

[stoic sigil]

Ah, in case the fixed extensions pack is oddly small, get the 1-87 collection first and then overwrite those with the fixed ones. I haven't checked the fix file yet myself and can't right now

[sterile pivot]

Pls help

[stoic sigil]

Not relevant if you haven't used a previous pack, but I just meant to remove any leftover image files in CustomBattlers, it's empty (save for the indexed folder) by default

[compact moon]

sooo download the 1-87 insert it then overwrite the 1-87 pack with the fixed extensions?

[stoic sigil]

I'm really sorry but that error means a corrupted save. So if you don't have a backup save, you're out of luck unfortunately...

[sterile pivot]

are you fr 😞 this was my favorite game to play

[stoic sigil]

I'd actually like to think they fixed the full download too, so I recommend just getting 1-87 first, importing that and then if there's a lot of sprites with .PNG extensions left over in CustomBattlers, then delete those and put in the fixed zip contents

[sterile pivot]

How would I find backup saves

[compact moon]

Okayyy gotchu ill update you wait lemme import the 1-87

[stoic sigil]

Sorry but if the error happens when you try to launch the game and the traceback lists methods mentioning "load" and "save", it's a save corruption. You can send a screenshot of the error to make sure

[stoic sigil]

Unless you've made them yourself by copying your save files to another location occasionally, you don't have any...

[normal spruce]

Any help? I havent been able to get to the main menu stage.

[stoic sigil]

Yeah, that's a save corruption alright

[sterile pivot]

what if I copy the save file and redownload then put it in the redownload

[stoic sigil]

Go to the image file listed near the top of the error (Graphics\CustomBattlers\ etc.), delete that particular image file, if you have a sprite pack, re-extract that file into CustomBattlers and relaunch the game. If you don't have a sprite pack and are using the light version, make sure sprite downloading is on

[stoic sigil]

It's the savefile that's corrupted, not the game files

You'll have to delete the savefile and start again

[sterile pivot]

what should I do?

So I created a new game how do I backup a save file so it never happens again

@stoic sigil

[normal spruce]

Okay, I downloaded the light and then added the sprite pack. But I was told to turn sprite downloads off.

[stoic sigil]

If you have the light version, you want to keep the downloads on, but they can be buggy with pathing (fix pending), but using a sprite pack should amend that

[stoic sigil]

See my convo with Slothman:
#tech-support message

[stoic sigil]

#tech-support message

[sterile pivot]

Im sorry if it’s to much to ask I’m not rly good with tech so if u can do u have any visuals

[stoic sigil]

Sure thing, just conveniently got to my pc as well. One sec

1. Go to your game files (ignore the Finnish UI...)

2. Go to "Savefile"

3. Copy all contents, or at least the ones title File X with right-click -> Copy

[hoary solar]

i want to turn on the download sprites option but every time i do it gives me an error message

[stoic sigil]

4. Make a folder (right-click, new -> folder) for the backups in some convenient location, mine is just in the game folder as you can see in the first image

5. Go to the folder and right-click -> Paste

And that's it! You can right-click -> Rename to add a date to the end of the filename if you want to keep several, then just remove the date if you ever need to overwrite a corrupted save

[pine remnant]

No, I didn't Do I need to use the alternate launcher?

Sorry for such a long response time, I forgor

[stoic sigil]

Can you show the error?

[sterile pivot]

Thank u sm apréciate it

[hoary solar]

and i have the most recent sprite patch from downloads

[stoic sigil]

Just remember to update the backup every now and then by just copying a new one into backups

[stoic sigil]

#tech-support message

[wise ice]

When I enter some areas the game does not load the map but when I close the save and open it loads normally ;-;

[stoic sigil]

This is likely an RPG Maker bug (meaning we most likely can't fix it), if it sometimes works and other times doesn't. If reloading the save fixes it, that's just what you'll have to do when it happens

[wise ice]

But I would have to close and open the save every time I enter these areas and they are quite simple areas like viridian forest and pewter gym

[hoary solar]

if i get that for multiple files does that mean i have to delete those as well

[covert thunder]

@pine remnant
It might help you, but I tested the randomiser in a few ways for someone. Check the message I responded to and the 6 or 7 I sent after it for everything I tried

[stoic sigil]

Oh it happens every time? Doesn't happen for me, so make sure you're on the newest version and consider re-extracting the Graphics folder from the game zip and replace the one in game files with it. I recommend also re-applying the sprite pack after if you've used it.

[stoic sigil]

Yes. But if it's happening a lot I recommend getting the full (non-light) version if you don't have it already, installing the sprite pack 1-87 and disabling the option to download sprites.

[covert thunder]

I had this issue after upgrading from 5.0 to 5.1

I fixed it by downloading the full game fresh, and not modifying anything. I then turned off auto-download and stopped getting these errors

[hoary solar]

yeah but then all the fusion look dumb

[stoic sigil]

Use the sprite pack to fix that

[hoary solar]

i have that

but i still have that issue

[covert thunder]

Once it was in a working state I added sprites and it worked no problem

[stoic sigil]

Then if you don't have the light version you can just turn off sprite downloads

Problem solved

[wise ice]

I tried a few times to download the game again and also download the patch I believe it is a problem on my pc

[covert thunder]

Also even if it's aesthetically less pleasing, at least it works?

[hoary solar]

yeah but then i cant get the cool versions of the fusions

[stoic sigil]

If you have the sprite pack already you already have the cool versions and don't need the downloads

They are not gonna go anywhere

[covert thunder]

Make sure your graphics drivers are up to date and you have OpenGL support.

Additionally, try running the game using the alt launcher

It takes longer to boot up but provides a smoother experience

[hoary solar]

this what i want it to look like

but if i have the download sprites off it doesnt look like this

[stoic sigil]

It should because you already have that file in the game files

Have you actually seen that happen by turning off downloads or are you just assuming?

[hoary solar]

yes ill show you once i load back in

[wise ice]

Ok i will try here update de graphics drivers, i have the same issue in alt launcher

[hoary solar]

this is what it looks like off

[stoic sigil]

Interesting... Close the game, save the file you sent earlier through Discord into Graphics\CustomBattlers\ (it will already be named correctly as 130.296.png), relaunch the game and if it asks, have it replace existing sprites

[hoary solar]

very different

i did it gave me the same error

i deleted the file and the error still said that the png was an error

[stoic sigil]

Did you remember to add it to CustomBattlers after deleting the one from indexed?

[hoary solar]

i cant find indexed

[stoic sigil]

There is no folder called indexed under CustomBattlers?

[hoary solar]

nope

[stoic sigil]

Then that's the problem

[hoary solar]

well then how do i get it

[stoic sigil]

Re-extract Graphics\CustomBattlers\ from the game zip (open zip, find the folder, drag and drop) and have it replace your CustomBattlers folder. Then re-apply the sprite pack

And also make sure the zip's CustomBattlers contains indexed

[hoary solar]

i added the indexed file but there is nothing in it

[stoic sigil]

It should be filled with numbered subfolders

[hoary solar]

it is but those folders are empty

[stoic sigil]

Yes, that's normal. Now apply the 1-87 sprite pack collection the usual way. Once you launch the game, it will move the sprites from CustomBattlers into their proper folders in indexed

[hoary solar]

now i get this when booting up the game

[pine remnant]

Thanks, I'll try it later!

[stoic sigil]

Can you check if there's a file indexed\61\61.118.png that you can open?

[fossil fog]

Whenever I load into a new area it takes almost 2 minutes of black screen.It also happens when I finish a trainer battle or exit out of my team

[turbid terrace]

Hey @fossil fog! 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.

[hoary solar]

yeah i deleted it seeing if that works

[stoic sigil]

Try the alt launcher. It takes longer to start but it preloads everything

[stoic sigil]

But did you try opening it first?

[hoary solar]

no

but now the game loads

[stoic sigil]

Try next time, your sprite pack may have had corrupted sprites

And if so, I recommend re-downloading and re-applying it

[stoic sigil]

But let's hope it keeps working

[hoary solar]

its ok the rest work

the sprite i deleted wasnt cool anyways

now it looks right

[normal spruce]

Okay thanks for the help. Will keep trying to get on the main menu and then reinstal it if I can't.

[queen ridge]

For some reason the sprite during battle is raise way to high, how would adjust the position?

[obtuse slate]

I'm trying to change the keybinds for my controller in the F1 menu, but it seems to only let me select my triggers and refuses to allow me to pick any other buttons (standard xbone 3rd party controller)

[safe quail]

Keybinds for controller don't really work on default launcher, try alternate launcher

[obtuse slate]

and my alt launcher is crashing despite me downloading the full zip file

[safe quail]

Have you extracted the files?

[obtuse slate]

yes

[safe quail]

Alt launcher is supposed to black-screen for like 5 minutes on startup because it's frontloading some processes to reduce load times in-game

Are u saying it's encountering an error

[obtuse slate]

it definitely took longer to load

[gentle schooner]

Hi, does anyone know how to reset the bicycle timer on route 17 ? its stuck and i cant talk to people. I already tried the debugger and the fix game option with update man

[obtuse slate]

the error came up and then went off, trying to see if it does it again but it seems to be ok the second time around

[safe quail]

Exit cycling road in the NE exit

It's a race where that's the finish

[obtuse slate]

controller mapping is absolutely god awful tho, not sure why it has genesis button mapping instead of something more akin to every other pkmn game

[safe quail]

The names of the keybinds themselves are weird but the default keybinds for xbox seemed pretty normal to me

A for interact, B for cancel/menu

[obtuse slate]

mine werent that at all

mine inverts a/b

but I also don't like cancel being menu open as well

[safe quail]

Don't think there's a way to change that

[obtuse slate]

feels like most of the controller is unused so that just is a baffling choice of programming

[safe quail]

A decent amount is used but the uses are kinda strange

A for interact, B for cancel/menu, X specifically to back out of the attack menu for some reason, LB to change speeds, R3 to use registered item/HM

I think it has more to do with the devkit used tho, I've played 2 other fangames where cancel and menu are the same as well

[obtuse slate]

for me r3 seems to be speed change, RB is registered item

but that i can deal with

[safe quail]

The default keybinds are different in alt launcher fsr if that's where you're checking

[obtuse slate]

yeah i'm in alt since normal launcher doesn't seem to let me change most of the controller binds

[safe quail]

yea I'm talking about keybinds for the main launcher

They make ab as much sense as they can imo

I've heard of people's A/B getting inverted on the main launcher if they're using like pro controller

[runic halo]

So, I'm not sure if it's just my computer, but for most loading screens like when you exit a battle or leave a house, it takes a good 10 seconds to actually load, so I'm just stuck on a black screen. It might just be that the game's massive, but I figured I'd bring it up

[turbid terrace]

Hey @runic halo! 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]

U can try running from the alternate launcher

[brave mulch]

Game is crashing on v5.1.1.1, i have species mode enabled

[runic halo]

That worked, thank you!

[safe quail]

Uhh

It's trying to replace the head of the triple fusion with ur single species

Which... is not a thing

So I guess go to the update man, turn off single species, beat the fight, then turn it back on

[sudden crane]

hey guys do i need the patch as well?

[safe quail]

That depends on what you're doing

Are u just downloading the game for the first time

[sudden crane]

first time

im assuming i can just get the game then

[safe quail]

Yes

The patch is for updating older versions of the game

[sudden crane]

thanks mate

[chrome bough]

Hey so I'm extracting the game from the zip to a folder, but it's been 20+ hours and it's only on 4 percent. Any way I can speed this up? I'm pretty sure it's not supposed to take this long

[covert thunder]

Use 7zip

[sudden crane]

do i also drag the other folders in the sprite packs to the graphics folder in the game folder as well?

same process as custombattlers?

[chrome bough]

What is that?

[covert thunder]

It's a file compression and decompression software.

If it's taking 20 hours thus far then I'm guessing you're using Windows Explorer for the unzipping

[chrome bough]

Yeah

[covert thunder]

7zip is an opensource software solution that works better than most others.

Similar to WinZip or WinRAR, but better

[chrome bough]

If I cancel the transfer, will that mess it up when I use something 7zip and transfer it? Like duplicate files?

[unreal mist]

does anyone knows the hex code for the magic boots

[safe quail]

I think when u cancel any partially extracted files are deleted

If not u can delete them

Won't be an issue, the main .zip was never altered

[covert thunder]

Nah, it just stops the process

[chrome bough]

Ok. I downloaded 7zip and tried to delete the stuff that explorer managed to copy, but it says I need administrator permission to do that? But I'm the only user of my computer, I am the administrator?

[covert thunder]

But as Lupus said, the original .zip is unaltered

Ignore those files for now, just extract to a different folder

[bronze oriole]

Thank you, how do I see which file I should copy and re-extract?

[chrome bough]

Ok, I opened the folder 7zip made when I downloaded it. How do I use this, what do I click?

[stoic sigil]

That same water file

[bronze oriole]

like the same files that they are naming to me or is it mactually a file called water?

[stoic sigil]

Should be the same file with the same name in the same place in the game zip

[bronze oriole]

ah okay got it thanks a bunch man 👍

[desert arrow]

so im trying to enter mt ember and its not letting me go in there, im assuming my game version is outdated or something as it's been a while since i've played? If so how do i update it?

[chrome bough]

@covert thunder How do I use 7zip?

[covert thunder]

Just install it, then when installed right-click on any zip file and there should be a 7-zip menu option

In that submenu just click "extract to.."

[chrome bough]

Wow, that's a lot faster. It's over half done

What do I do about the errors? It says there were 2 so far

[safe quail]

Depends on what they are, I guess?

We've been seeing issues with extraction on occasion but I'm not sure why, especially if ur using a dedicated extractor

[chrome bough]

It's these 3

[safe quail]

The lake crater one we saw last time, we're assuming we can fix it later if it becomes a problem

The first error just seems to be

The entire .zip?

Which isn't great

The 3rd errored file seems to have a backup without the unique character

[chrome bough]

As for the first, it seems fine?

Like, it says error for the entire .zip but the files look like they're normal

[safe quail]

Yea sounds fine ig

[chrome bough]

So now I just need to download the sprites, and it'll be all set?

(Hopefully at least?)

[safe quail]

I would run the game first before downloading sprites

Just to make sure it's fine

Even before u run the game first tho

I would move it out of ur downloads folder

The game doesn't like that folder

[covert thunder]

#1 Isn't an error, it's just part of the progress report. It's essentially saying "extracting from this folder"

[chrome bough]

Already moved it out of downloads so no worries there

[covert thunder]

The other two, header errors, are quite troubling though. Header errors typically occur when the zip file is corrupt

Oops, I meant "from", not "to"

[safe quail]

Fwiw both of them have the problem of accented characters

[chrome bough]

Ok, the game opened, but it's silent

[covert thunder]

Okay, before you start to play please go to the folder directories and see if those files both exist AND are accessible

[chrome bough]

Ok, this is weird

Lake crater is the only file in the bgm folder

[covert thunder]

Mine looks weird as hell, but works

Wait, what?

[safe quail]

That would explain why game has no sound

[chrome bough]

Which explains the silence ig

What do I do about this?

[safe quail]

Well the extraction seems to have encountered bigger errors than it let on, so u would want to scrap this folder and try it again, assuming ur .zip is complete

U had no troubles downloading the files right

[chrome bough]

I don't think so, I think I downloaded it fine.

[safe quail]

I guess if this extraction encounters the same issue u would want to open the .zip and see if all the files are there

[chrome bough]

Ok, the same 3 errors as last time popped up when I tried to unextract it again

[safe quail]

same files missing?

[chrome bough]

Idk yet it's still extracting, but most likely yes since the errors are exactly the same and it's the same file

[safe quail]

Worth checking, and if so check ur .zip after

[chrome bough]

How would I check the .zip?

Yes the same files are missing

[safe quail]

u should be able to open the .zip directly without extracting

[chrome bough]

It's only the audio bgm that's missing almost everything. Animations was the other error and it still has a bunch of other files in it

I checked the zipped/unextracted file, lake crater is the only thing in audio bgm

[safe quail]

ok so ur download looks incomplete

[chrome bough]

Is there a way I can just get the audio bgm file without redownloading everything?

[tired zenith]

'Scuse me tech support, I need some help with getting the new IF updated game.

Should I delete my old copy and redownload the new one?

[safe quail]

I don't think so... even compressed the audio files are too big for me to send directly

[safe quail]

If ur updating from earlier than 5.1.1, I would recommend a new complete download. What u do with the previous version doesn't matter for the new one, but I would keep it around just in case

[chrome bough]

That's unfortunate, the download is like 2 gigs.

[celest juniper]

Can anyone help me with this error? It'll load a portion of the opening cinematic, right when the fusion goes to dunk on the other two and then drop this. I have also tried a fresh install.

[safe quail]

Try to mash past the intro and title screen so u can turn off download sprites in options

[celest juniper]

okay

Yeah its not even letting me do that

[safe quail]

As in u get no input or it freezes when u input

[celest juniper]

it'll seemingly skip the intro, but load right into that error sorry

[safe quail]

I see

Well uve already tried a fresh install so I don't think there's much else u can do without getting in
This is a known bug with a patch in the works atm, but if u don't want to wait for it to be fixed u should be able to download and play on v5.1.1.1 instead

[celest juniper]

okay thanks

[chrome bough]

Update, a friend was able to send me their bgm file and now the game officially has audio

[safe quail]

ok dope

[tired zenith]

Why would you suggest that?

[safe quail]

Due to a few changes to story and progression, we've seen a lot of cases where the savefile either isn't compatible with the new version or can't progress correctly, both of which would mean u would need the old version to play

[haughty canopy]

someone help

i nee someone to help me with a problem while trying to boot up the game

[celest juniper]

Oddly, I got it working by extracting it to my downloads folder instead of my HDD. I also used 7zip instead of the generic windows one, but idk if that's what fixed it

[safe quail]

7zip helps, but the game actually doesn't like being in the downloads folder

It messes with file organization

[celest juniper]

Ah, well I put it in a folder within the downloads folder if that helps

[safe quail]

No, not really

If it helps with this then ig run it until smth goes wrong

But if u see it say "missing game.ini" or if it can't find a .dll

That's why

[celest juniper]

okay

[tired zenith]

Oh I don't intend on saving anything from the previous version I haven't played much of it at all lol

[tired zenith]

So in the case I have would it be alright to delete the old copy and get the new one?

[safe quail]

If u don't plan on saving anything then ur essentially a first-time downloader so yes

[wintry mantle]

all my custom sprites are gone even though i have the folder in my custom battlers folder, as well as all the sprites individually pasted

[clever spire]

hello, quick question, is there any way to play this game on a hacked switch? or does it have to be played on PC?

[safe quail]

This doesn't look correct

[wintry mantle]

should i remove the sprite pack 1-87

everything from that folder is individually in custombattlers

[safe quail]

Show me the entire first page of the folder

[safe quail]

Yea, so u don't have an indexed folder anymore

Did u delete the old folder or smth

[wintry mantle]

not sure

should i just make a new folder

[safe quail]

No

Does the sprite pack still contain its original contents

[wintry mantle]

yes, i click and it leads to this screen

and then in custom battlers is all the custom sprites

[safe quail]

What I would do is move the sprite pack somewhere else for now, delete this custombattlers folder, and then re-extract the custombattlers folder from the original game .zip

Whatever u did u got rid of ur indexed folder which means ur game can't recognize or use any of ur custom sprites
