Hey I’m having trouble launching the game for the first time it’s giving me a error I’m not sure what to do I see the file that it says is missing in the folder

[brave elm]

Every time a fused Pokémon I havent seen yet is sent out in a battle my game is frozen for a few min and then it works. Have I done something wrong in downloading? Everything else runs perfect except this

[turbid terrace]

Hey @brave elm! Are you having trouble starting the game? Here are a few common errors you might be experiencing:

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.

---

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.

Hello, when fighting Giovanni in the Silph Co. double battle with your rival, I get an error that says: "Script 'Main' Line 14: RuntimeError occured. Traceback is too big. Output in traceback.log" and then my game crashes. Any way to fix it? I'm on the full version of 5.1.2.4 on modern mode. I'm using the alternate launcher.

[tawny girder]

seem to be getting this error when playing, any idea what's causing it?

[brave elm]

Just want to add the game also freezes even in the start screen showing new fusions

[spark finch]

Game runs really slow overall, for example, after battles, the screen turns black for up to 40 seconds at a time. My computer is in no way beefy. Should I download a different version or are there any other accesibility options?

[hexed bison]

i have this problem too

[inland frigate]

Do I need an emulator or do I legit just run the executable

[rich harness]

idk if this counts but i caught a palkia in a glitterball and its not shiny

are they shinylocked?

[solid vale]

So my PC crashed while playing the game. I lost to Misty and went to the Poke center to heal and it crashed on me (Probably a PC issue and not the game but noting what I did before everything happened) and when I logged back in and everything this error popped up when I tried to open the game and I can't understand it

[opaque matrix]

got both strength and surf and they won't appear in my bag...

[tawny nexus]

Hey I’m experiencing problems with my game
After beating Koga I was supposed to have Lance come in, but he never showed up. I already did the Silph Co event AND beat Sabrina, so am I just soft locked now?

I already talked to the guy in the Pokemon Center to try and fix it, but nothing happened

[sterile shore]

Hi! I'm getting this error on joiplay, any help?

[teal bough]

i'm not exactly having any problems, but i just wanted to ask this

while putting the new custom sprites into the custombattles file, do i also include the "other" file pack ?

[sterile shore]

Downloaded latest version straight from patreon with rpgmaker plug in and game starts up but then i get this

[spiral spruce]

there is no patreon.....

[sterile shore]

Talking about joiplay sorry

[spiral spruce]

oh.

[sterile shore]

The app store version is outdated

[thorn hemlock]

I copied the new sprite pack into my game and now no custom sprites are working at all

[marsh sphinx]

whenever I try to randomize my game through the new game option and the update man it gives me this error then crashes

[jolly skiff]

I not sure if this is the place to post this but I'm trying to download the full game through Media fire. The download goes through, I move it onto my desk top and when I try to extract it to the file I want it to go to the file manager just crashes ? The file extraction doesn't even try to start either. I have never seen or had this kind of problem before so I'm not sure what to do. Even just opening the folder as soon as its downloaded on my firefox tab it just crashes file explorer. Any help would be appreciated, thank you !

[sterile pivot]

Maybe try extracting the files with a Programm like 7zip, maybe the thousands of files make your computer crash

[jolly skiff]

I had to download a new unzipping tool but yeah that worked. Thank you

[lofty shard]

How do I only add the newer sprites like 88 and 87

[lean yacht]

If I'm moving a custom trainer over from the monthly sprite pack, do I have to move the whole folder for the trainer I want into characters or just the contents of the folder?

[sterile pivot]

then it’ll work tho

nbd but i get an error like this n crash everytime it’s my first time booting up the game lol

[vocal jungle]

is there a way to fix levels being invisible?

[zenith idol]

yup, multiple times. still no idea what's going wrong

[foggy sleet]

Reread pinned messages. I did not provide enough info. Updated here.
Version: 5.1.2.4
Issue: Pictured. Trying to sell rare bones to collector, only getting this screen when talking. No purchasing or anything happens. Also pictured, rare bones in inventory. Playing a randomizer and got rare bones from a mart.
Solutions: None so far. I tried the "fix game" choice for the man upstairs in the pc. Restarted twice, did not work. Not sure of other solutions.

[sterile pivot]

Hey, I am getting the green and black lines. Changing the graphics settings over the Windows Settings didnt help, anyone got any updated tips on how to resolve this?

[tacit crag]

JoiPlay just doesn't work, does it? I've been trying this game non-stop for the better part of the last 4 days. I've tried every version of JoiPlay, every version of the game, every version of the plug-ins... the fartherst I got was the main menu. This is now where I am, at a HTTPLite error, for about 10 hours.

Latest version of everything now.

[dark ivy]

First time booting up the game, keep getting this error

[vast prairie]

i always gettin these message

[foggy sleet]

nick. that exact error is in the pinned messages. if that'll help

[vast prairie]

@foggy sleetCan i delete the pinned messages?

[foggy sleet]

why would you? they're from the server to help with those errors. The error you are shown, is an exact error they are helping with in the pinned messages. well, one of them anyways.

[agile sierra]

if i have the game set to automatiucally download sprites from the internet do i still have to add all the new custom sprite pack into my folder?

[pine grove]

Anybody know why the game doesn't have audio after having to restart my game cos "windows encountered a problem?"

Ah, after restarting like 5 times it seems to have fixed the issue.

[short linden]

i ave this exact same thing rn

[hot flicker]

Technically no. You should be good.

[hot flicker]

This means your game is corrupted

[slender crescent]

the answer to that is in the pinned messages

[short linden]

aww man

i put hours into that shit

[hot flicker]

Time to put more 👀

[short linden]

aint no way bruh

i cant launch the game

[short linden]

what do i do

to launch it again

[hot flicker]

You need to delete all your saves

Well the one that is causing it

[short linden]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[hot flicker]

Meant to say just the one that is corrupted. That one has to be deleted.

[turbid falcon]

Just downloaded latest sprite pack but I'm missing loads

[cerulean beacon]

How do I fix this after patching up to the new sprites?

[gentle zinc]

can you save the save data or do i still get an error if something should happen?

[cerulean beacon]

Explain

[gentle zinc]

who should happen as security

[drowsy harbor]

My game freezes if I access pc Or my party

[mossy crow]

Anyone?

[cerulean beacon]

Um... I'm not getting any wild encounters and the pokeradar isnt working.

Can someone please help me?

It's only in one save file too.

[neat zephyr]

Im having the exact same issue as ErinDwight funnily enough, I updated to the latest version yesterday, I tried doing the fix game with the guy upstairs, didnt want to try re randomising just incase theres another method

[cerulean beacon]

Here's what worked for me, re-randomize it. It won't save your spawns sadly. But I managed to get a semi-stable game running now.

[neat zephyr]

I re randomised and it works now, its a shame, but @cerulean beacon i think you might need to do the same

Hahaha lol we both bit the bullet then!

[cerulean beacon]

I even had to re-download the game

[neat zephyr]

Im just gonna go back through now, just got the last badge, but if theres a chance some crazy pokemon spawned ima have to check every damn route

Jesus not good, hopefully nothing else goes wrong!

[cerulean beacon]

Here's to hoping.

But yeah, the new sprite pack basically nuked my game

[neat zephyr]

I havent updated the sprites since like feb, think i’ll just sit with how it is rn😅

[cerulean beacon]

I think it's for the best until I can figure out how to do it without bricking the game

[molten loom]

so when I try to boot up the game after redownloading everything, it just sits here and does nothing

[cerulean beacon]

What made it work for me was deleting all the files and un-zipping from scratch.

[hot flicker]

You're either running the game within the zip or you only extracted the patch

[molten loom]

ight

[stoic sigil]

Interesting, good to know 🤔

[pearl oracle]

So what happend here is,

I used flute while on bike and my char just went invis
nothing major

[timber siren]

maybe someone knows why there isnt the joyful game corner in the boon island?

https://prnt.sc/sdukQhgDLLpG

[slate imp]

It was only part of earlier versions of the game.

[earnest sage]

How do I import my own alts?

[timber siren]

so how do i get over the hole in ice mountains?

[earnest sage]

#gameplay-help that's about the game not a bug or anything technical.

[timber siren]

oh ok

[earnest sage]

Or #playthrough-talk they may also help you there maybe if you can't get help from game-help

[drowsy harbor]

It's starting to get worse now

[earnest sage]

Try backing up your save and reinstalling the game?

[drowsy harbor]

I will try that I supposs

[earnest sage]

Since it happens when you access your PC or the party if it's like the mainline games it could be a corrupted pokemon which reinstalling the game won't work

But it's best to reinstall the game first

[slate imp]

I heard when you’ve filled too many boxes it can slow the game down (depends on your computer strength)
So you can also try making the boxes smaller, as in moving pokemon to other boxes so less of them are completely filled.

[stoic sigil]

Have you tried the alt launcher yet?

[stoic sigil]

Do you already know how the sprite files work with the game?

[drowsy harbor]

My main launcher is basically unplayable but the alternate launcher has this problem

[drowsy harbor]

I am new so i don't have that much pokemon

[stoic sigil]

Then it's the box performance issue. Like maz said, try spreading out your boxes a bit, don't have a few full ones

[drowsy harbor]

What about party

[stoic sigil]

How's your pc hardware?

[slate imp]

Then that’s probably not the issue 👍

[drowsy harbor]

Pretty good

How to import save files

I will try reinstalling

[stoic sigil]

They're separate, all game instances will find the same saves

They also won't be deleted when you delete the game files

[drowsy harbor]

Wait I don't have to delete the whole folder?

[stoic sigil]

You do, but savefiles are in a completely separate location (appdata)

So don't worry about them

[drowsy harbor]

Ok

So i just delete the folder and reinstall from zip?

[stoic sigil]

Yeah

[drowsy harbor]

Ok thx

[stoic sigil]

Can also re-download the zip if you wanna be extra careful

And don't use the built-in Windows extractor, use 7-Zip or Winrar

[drowsy harbor]

I use winrar

[trim parrot]

Any Helpers? am i missing something to why i dont see the sprite

[slate imp]

Because you haven’t fused it yet……

[trim parrot]

i did, and then didnt save, ill show

see

not quite the same is it lul

[pearl oracle]

xd

[slate imp]

Oh I see, yeah guess that’s just one of many that aren’t in the game yet. Just save the .png from the calculator into your CustomBattlers folder

[spiral spruce]

do you have the newest sprite pack?

[trim parrot]

yep

[trim parrot]

?what do you mean from the calculator sorry

[slate imp]

Or wherever you got that sprite on the right.

[trim parrot]

it is in my custom battlers folder? i am confusion

[slate imp]

And sorry I just recognized you as the guy from #gameplay-help where the downloaded sprites weren’t showing up in game, provide more information in this chat so people can troubleshoot

[turbid terrace]

Hey @slate imp! 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!

[trim parrot]

yeah haha

[winged merlin]

how do i fix this

[trim parrot]

Also another question you might have an answer for.. some sprites have alternatives? for example charizard and tyranitar have an A and a B and i cant see those? reckon thats my game not working how it should too?

[slate imp]

Alt sprites can be selected in the pokedex. Go to the pokemon’s summary in your party or PC box, select “show in pokedex” and to go the Sprites tab

[regal minnow]

okay so this isn't related to the update but some locations kind of just don't show the background (I can still interact with things and the game functions but the map just Doesn't Exist)

it fixes itself after I exit a battle, but comes back when I reenter the location

[trim parrot]

oh... i didnt know this LOL

[wheat copper]

Is this ability changed on purpose? pre-evolutions has hustle, but hydreigon has levitate on every pokemon wiki i find

[mental hare]

help me pls xD

[wheat copper]

the ability Sharpness is not implemented??

[slate imp]

#1092663392713588837 message

[stray forum]

help

I tried deleting my save files bc its not the exact error in the pin but its real close so figured maybe that was the issue, still happened

[safe quail]

Wut

It's not anywhere close to that error message lol

[stray forum]

it still has all of this NoMethodError occurred.
undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass

its just at a differen spot

[safe quail]

yeah that's a very generic error message

The thing to look out for when it comes to save file is the words "marshal file"

[stray forum]

ye but idk tech stuff well, it was close enough so figured maybe the location changed with an update or whatever so id try it anyway, its not like i lost anything

[safe quail]

In this instance the game just doesn't want to produce ur randomizer settings

[stray forum]

how do i make it work

[safe quail]

I don't know of a way to make it work except turning off trainer rando

[wheat copper]

while trying to edit pokemon with magic boots, any idea how to avoid this ?

[stray forum]

guess ill just wait until they put out a fix bc i want to play it randomized

[proven pier]

so the randomizer is breaking the cut hm, any fix for that?

[safe quail]

Nope

I generally don't recommend randomizing anything except wild Pokemon at this time

Even that can mess up but we actually have a tool to fix it

[proven pier]

can i turn off the randomizer and keep my save or do i need to start over

[safe quail]

What do u mean when u say the cut hm is breaking

[proven pier]

well its being randomized so i cant actually get cut which i need to progress

[safe quail]

ok, yea

If u have a save pre-cut u should be able to get it just fine by turning off item rando with the update guy in the 2nd floor of pokecenters

[proven pier]

roger

[sand osprey]

For some reason custom sprites don't seem to be working for me? I may have missed a step or something? Everything else is working great!

[safe quail]

This is most likely the same issue the last pack had but on a wider scale; the custombattlers sprites are frequently named as alternate sprites when there is no main custom sprite. Fix would be to ensure that files in question are following naming convention:
145.4a.png can't exist without 145.4.png
145.4b.png can't exist without 145.4a.png
etc.

[proven pier]

so back again, item randomizer is off but cut is still being randomized,

[safe quail]

yea figured

Might not be smth that can easily be unrandomized

[proven pier]

anyway to give myself the hm for it?

[safe quail]

I'm sure debug mode could accomplish that but I've never tried

[sand osprey]

Is there anything interaction between the Battlers and CustomBattlers folder I need to set up. I think the files are named correctly but it only shows sprites from Battlers

[safe quail]

Show me ur custombattlers folder

[sand osprey]

I am on Mac but this I do have the game running just fine now

[safe quail]

The first page please

But at a glance

These sprites are not indexed

[sand osprey]

Here is that first page

[safe quail]

If u did drag and replace on mac then u overwrote ur indexed folder

Since it works differently on mac than windows

[sand osprey]

Ahhhh Ok, so I should I try to redownload the OG folder and re-add them this way?

[safe quail]

Unless u wanna make 421 folders by hand, yea I would delete this folder, extract the default graphics folder, move it back into the game files, and then try to install the sprites the other way

[sand osprey]

Sweet thank you so much for your help! 🙂

[safe quail]

"The other way" being by copying all the sprites from inside the sprite pack's custombattlers into the game's custombattlers

Instead of replacing the folders

[bleak fable]

Is this normal?

[safe quail]

Probably

I would be surprised if there were a Drifblim/Vigoroth custom sprite

[bleak fable]

Ok

How would you apply the light mod to the game

[safe quail]

What

[fallow ridge]

Can anyone tell me why i cannot play the randomizer mode? I downloaded infinite fusion light today and when i want to start a new randomized file it tells me this:

[turbid terrace]

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

[safe quail]

It's not a mod, light version and non-light version are almost the exact same files

[bleak fable]

Oh

[safe quail]

light version just has a lot less files

Bc it downloads them on demand

Full version does that too by default

[bleak fable]

I thought it was amid so I downloaded both lmao

[fallow ridge]

@safe quail do you know if you need to have the full version to play randomized mode?

[near geyser]

Could you help me, I get that every time I try to enter the game

[safe quail]

I don't know for certain but I would be very surprised if it changed anything

[safe quail]

U need to have an audio device connected

[fallow ridge]

Hm then i might have to ask a mod for help, thanks for answering still tho

[bleak fable]

What’s the difference between modern and randomized mode?

[safe quail]

Well randomized is randomized

Modern is not randomized

So that's 1 difference

Modern just has different encounters and trainer battles from Classic, that's all

[bleak fable]

Ok

[woven panther]

there has been issues going on with randomized mode lately, 5.1.1., the previous version, had randomized mode work properly

a dev may have taken noticed of this issue, not sure

[fallow ridge]

Alright so you would advice me to get the 5.1.1 version?

Thank you

[woven panther]

ye if you wanna play randomized mode

[fallow ridge]

Alright, thanks

[vestal gull]

Is there a sprite for this move yet?

The move is "Belch" if its hard to read

[safe quail]

The issue here isn't spritework

.wav is an audio file

[vestal gull]

Ah

[safe quail]

Does the game continue regardless?

[vestal gull]

No

[safe quail]

Strange

[vestal gull]

it gets stuck in a loop

of it trying to to use the move

[safe quail]

Aight

I'd generally stay away from using the move then

[vestal gull]

Its not me using it

[safe quail]

Oh

[vestal gull]

its a trainer in the path i need to go through

[safe quail]

Well, most moves that interact with other entities in nonstandard ways have issues similar to this one

Items (Fling), opponent's Pokemon (sky drop), etc.

Altho just missing an audio file is

Not the most impressive thing

Lemme check something

so I've noticed that I have a Belch2.wav, but not a belch2.wav

If u try to locate that file, is urs the same?

[vestal gull]

uhh

what folder do I look in for that?

[safe quail]

The file path and intended file name are listed in the error

[vestal gull]

Same thing. Belch2, not belch2

[safe quail]

Rename it and see if it works

[vestal gull]

Ill give it a go

[long raft]

i just downloaded for the first time and its saying this

when i try to launch btw

[safe quail]

Show me ur main game folder

[safe quail]

Ur missing every subfolder

Audio, Data, Fonts, Graphics

[long raft]

ok

its probobly somewhere in my files

thx tho

yep found em

they just never went on my desktop lol

[vestal gull]

No, that did not fix it @safe quail

[safe quail]

It's been a minute, how did u check

[vestal gull]

Its a trainer thats using the move

the problem is the condition of using it requires eating a berry

so I had to spam the trainer till it actually ate one

[fair lava]

after i unzip the folder should i be able to play the game?

[safe quail]

Right, but by every metric it should at least be finding the file now since it's named "Prsfx - belch2.wav" and it's in the right location

So I feel like u may be getting a new error

Especially since it sounds like u restarted the game to check, which I would've suggested if u were trying to make the change while the game was running

[safe quail]

Unless it's the patch folder yea

[vestal gull]

I did, just not sure why its still occurring though

[safe quail]

Ok well

If it took that long to reset the circumstance

U probably have a way to avoid it entirely

[fair lava]

its the infinitefusion 5.1 folder

[safe quail]

Do u have any idea how little that narrows it down

That could be like

6 folders

[fair lava]

ill snip it

[safe quail]

For now I would send it in bug reports and try to just sweep the team before the mon can use belch
Let them know u renamed the file and it still wasn't being found

[safe quail]

yea that should be fine

[vestal gull]

Alrighty

[hasty flame]

i having a huge performance issue my games drops to 8 fps and i dont think is my pc problem because he has gtx 1660 super; 16 gb ram and 10th gen i5 processor

[safe quail]

That doesn't actually sound super impressive but it should be fine

Try running from the alt launcher ig

Temporary lag is consistent in a few places and there's not much to do ab it

Game isn't very well optimized

[hasty flame]

ok thx

[acoustic cloak]

how do i randomize the game

[turbid terrace]

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

[obtuse slate]

how do i fix this? happens about every other time I launch the game. Usually the following launch will be just fine

[safe quail]

It's likely correlated to the title screen fusion animation

Sometimes it'll fuse a Pokemon u do have the sprite for, sometimes it'll fuse one u don't

Can u locate that file

Also are u on light version

[obtuse slate]

no full version

full 5.1.2.4

[safe quail]

Right, so can u locate that file

[obtuse slate]

seems to be a 145.145.a/b/c/d versions

its zapdos x zapdos

[safe quail]

There should be one named 145.145.png, do they all have letters?

[obtuse slate]

oh there is also a 145.145 without a letter too

[safe quail]

Ok, interesting

So the file exists but the game can't find it

[obtuse slate]

yup and it is in .png

[safe quail]

As opposed to .PNG?

[safe quail]

Ok, that should be fine

[obtuse slate]

every file seems to show the same file type as that

[safe quail]

Yeah, it's just that sometimes we have .PNG files that the game can't actually read

I don't know if we have a solution for RPG_Cache errors

Do u have download sprites turned on

[obtuse slate]

on my save file yes

[safe quail]

Try turning it off

[obtuse slate]

but this is on game launch

[safe quail]

I know

It uses save file options

To be more accurate there are no options settings outside of the save file

Options have to save to a save file

[obtuse slate]

ok

[safe quail]

Which is why they wouldn't save if u tried to change them and then closed the game without creating a save

[obtuse slate]

the problem also most likely solves itself by mashing into the load screen before it picks a sprite that crashes, but that's not a real solution just a workaround

[safe quail]

That's generally what we advise in order to get to the options menu in the first place yea

There are 2 or 3 other types of errors that have the same issue (file can't be found/renamed) and they're all fixed by turning download sprites off because of what the game is trying to do

But I'm not sure this one is related

And if it only happens to u half the time, it's hard to really test

[obtuse slate]

sorry taking a sec, its importing the new sprite pack i put in

from the release yesterday

i've turned download sprites off, do i need to load my save and resave?

[safe quail]

I don't think u do, a save just needs to exist for it to write to

[obtuse slate]

ok

[safe quail]

But if u try and it doesn't save then that's good info to have for later

[obtuse slate]

then yeah i turned off download sprites from main menu so i'll relaunch

is there any way to actually force test that sprite on the title screen?

or is it just wait to see if I crash again on another one (this is the 3rd time I've crashed like this, likely its a flagged sprite each time)

[safe quail]

Not really, that's why I said it's hard to test

[obtuse slate]

well i'll let it run on the title fusion sequences and grab a drink and i'll see if I crash, usually this running for a few minutes has reliably flagged a sprite that crashes

[safe quail]

Unfortunately this screenshot is miniscule and my browser is dying trying to load it

At a glance tho

U haven't extracted these files

U need to extract them first

[safe quail]

Sounds good

[small heron]

Trying again this is the 3 time though and haven't had issues doing that part

[obtuse slate]

well we've come this far without a crash

notable is that download sprites is on again, so i guess you do need to load a file change it and save

[small heron]

Won't load past 0% now tried extracting all from the folder

[safe quail]

Yea that's probably cuz ur not using a dedicated extraction tool

Download 7zip or winrar and use one of those

[safe quail]

Show me ur savefile folder

[lean vortex]

so, im using the fusion calculator, and i fused absol and chairzard, id like to know where i can find the name of the fusion, because it dosent appear online

[safe quail]

What do u need the name for

It's gonna be like abzard or smth

[lean vortex]

i just want the name for something im doing

[safe quail]

Yea we don't usually record the name because it's generated automatically and it's not used to identify anything

We just say like Absol/Charizard

[lean vortex]

ah ok

[glacial brook]

Sorry if this was talked about already but for me it seems like when I open the map (either with the item, the wall map in a Pokemon Center, or by using Fly) the map is broken most of the time. Sometimes the cursor appears, but most of the time it does not and the map only ends up scrolling one direction. Is this something other people have issues with?

[proud burrow]

somebody know why my game do this when i try to start a randomized game x)

[earnest sage]

No I'm just guessing using general computer knowledge

[safe quail]

I've heard of people having issues with the map, usually when this happens to me it's just that the map is pre-set to focus on the leftmost portion (i.e. johto) and my cursor still defaults to where I currently am

So if u just like move ur cursor around u should find it, and when it comes back into the bounds of the map screen ur fine

[broken pond]

what did i do wrong 😄

[pure meteor]

Hey, i'm trying to download and play 5.1.2.4 but whenever I try to unzip the file it crashes. any tips?

I see someone recommended 7zip earlier let me try that

[safe quail]

U saved wrong, looks like

[broken pond]

Yeah, i've been able to figure that out. I'm screwed, huh?

[safe quail]

U can show me ur savefile folder if u want and I can see if there's anything interesting there but yea typically

[broken pond]

Nah. All thats there is the one save file and I'm too stupid to make backups. I'm trying to see if theres any way to get an earlier version but I don't think so

[safe quail]

Is it named File A.rxdata

Also there should've been a keybindings.mkxp1 file there too

[broken pond]

yup. All thats there. Did you want to see the properties or something? not sure if anything there will help

[safe quail]

There are ways to get earlier versions but unless the save is from an earlier version they won't do anything

Nah properties don't mean anything to me, I just wanted to check the files

[broken pond]

My computer got shut off suddenly while i was playing but I thought I was safe since I had just saved x-x

[safe quail]

Depending on how soon after "just" saved it was, it might've still been trying to sort things out

[turbid falcon]

Is this fixable?

[broken pond]

Literally just saved. So that checks out then

[safe quail]

So yea if u delete the save u should be fine

[broken pond]

Appreciate the help, thanks 🙂 a bit heartbroken, but I'll recover

[safe quail]

This could be for a couple reasons

What mon is it

[turbid falcon]

A lot of them

Missing tonnes of them

[safe quail]

For sake of example which is this one

[turbid falcon]

Kyogure and cubone fusion I think

[safe quail]

Sure

If game's been running fine I should just need to see the first page of ur custombattlers folder

[turbid falcon]

How many should there be

[safe quail]

How many what

[turbid falcon]

Sprites

[safe quail]

In the custombattlers folder after uve booted the game? If uve installed the sprite pack maybe like 150

If u haven't, then maybe like 20

[turbid falcon]

Yea I have it

Are there some just spriteless atm cause that would explain my issue

[safe quail]

No, and it wouldn't

Well

There are some fusions that don't have custom spritework yet

[safe quail]

But then the game should default to the autogenerated spritework

Ok, this looks good

dex cubone

[turbid terrace]

Cubone's IF Pokédex number is 104!

[safe quail]

dex kyogre

[turbid terrace]

Kyogre's IF Pokédex number is 340!

[olive jetty]

Why did my shroomish (ha) evolve into breloom effect spore (not ha)

[safe quail]

Because u either caught it with an ability ball or fused it, and then the hidden ability changed

[turbid falcon]

Maybe I have issues with auto generating them?

[olive jetty]

ohh i caught it with ability ball

[turbid falcon]

Would my pc specs impact it?

[olive jetty]

man that sucks

[safe quail]

Yea if u caught with ability ball the hidden ability isn't allowed to change sadly

v impactful bug

[safe quail]

Maybe but I don't think so

I don't think there's any custom sprite for this, so the next thing to do would be to check ur Battlers folder

Check the 104 folder for 104.340 and the 340 folder for 340.104

Try to open them when u find them

[turbid falcon]

Ok

[safe quail]

Curious

Are u on light version

[turbid falcon]

There all like that

Yes

I am

[safe quail]

So I think the download sprites feature is messing up, it's checking for a custom sprite and not seeing any, but then instead of downloading the autogen sprite it's just giving up and giving u the question mark

I'm not sure if it's supposed to be downloading the autogen sprite or if ur just missing files tho

I think it's supposed to

I'm assuming uve kept that option on after installing the sprite pack

[turbid falcon]

Which one I got no option

[safe quail]

In the options menu there should be download sprites on/off

[turbid falcon]

Yea I have it on y?

[safe quail]

Ok, so that's what's happening, more or less

[turbid falcon]

Ur kidding me

[safe quail]

The fix would be to download non-light version, install the sprite pack there, and play on that instead

Ur save should transfer fine

Altho now that I think about it

[rare glade]

Hello, getting this error after downloading the latest sprite pack. What can I do to fix it?

[safe quail]

Ur randomizer might get messed up in some way or another

That shouldn't be related to the sprite pack, cuz that's ur save file being broken

[rare glade]

Huh, It was working fine before a PC restart 20 minutes ago

[turbid falcon]

Is there a link?

[stoic sigil]

Do you still need help on that or did you figure it out?

[rare glade]

Does this mean I have to make a new file or is my old one recoverable

[safe quail]

Same place u got light version from

[turbid falcon]

Kk cheers

[safe quail]

Just get the full .zip that doesn't say light

[safe quail]

It's not looking good chief

[rare glade]

😨 Smh

I was almost done my playthrough

[safe quail]

U sure u installed the sprite pack correctly

[rare glade]

I just put it in custombattlers yeah

[safe quail]

And u didn't have any issues with closing the game, weren't messing with the savefile in any way

[rare glade]

Nope

Not at all

[stoic sigil]

Try the recovery trick in the first pinned message (under the third question)

[rare glade]

I will, ty

[safe quail]

Oh we do get savefile version history sometimes

Neat

[stoic sigil]

It depends on Windows backup settings

I think Win11 has it set up by default while Win10 doesn't

[safe quail]

Also it's funny that u reference the first pinned message in the FAQ but then ur message became the first pinned message lol

[stoic sigil]

Ah crap, I thought it would become the last pin at the time of writing and didn't think about it further

[fair lava]

how do you randomize the spawns?

[rare glade]

If someone was accidentally playing in an unzipped folder, the save would disappear after restarting the PC, correct? Asking for a friend...

🥲

[safe quail]

Wut

Ur supposed to play in an unzipped folder

[rare glade]

Zipped rather

[safe quail]

Playing in a zipped folder is borderline nonfunctional

I think that's correct

I've only interacted at length with 1 person who was playing zipped

And I think they raised that concern

But they were tryna do smth else at the time

But like

[rare glade]

Ah, yeah. Figured as much

[safe quail]

A zipped folder shouldn't be able to manipulate external files

[earnest sage]

Yeah I do actually I thought you were replying to another message

[stoic sigil]

Ah, I was just asking to know how much I need to explain

By importing your own alts, I assume you mean you want to add sprites that normally aren't alts and make them available?

[fading yacht]

hey

[safe quail]

sup

[olive jetty]

Does the boost ball sprite just look like a normal pokeball?

[safe quail]

It can

Other secret ball shop balls just have no sprite

I think there's only 1 with its own sprite

Think it's the perfect ball

In the pokemon menu I mean

[olive jetty]

Does it stack with lucky egg

[safe quail]

I think it does?

Lucky egg does smth that isn't the boosted exp gain mechanic

[earnest sage]

I thought there was a feature that in game you can change a Pokemon's sprite to their alt. I want to be able to do that with a sprite that is no longer in the alts.

[modest maple]

I can't download the new sprite pack, say the site refused to connect

[olive jetty]

Soooo i cant see the if my pokemon is in the boost ball or not

[safe quail]

I mean

If u caught it in a boost ball

It's in a boost ball

[olive jetty]

i have bad memory

[safe quail]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[olive jetty]

I caught like 3 thinhs with different balls

[safe quail]

If it says the mon has boosted exp gains

That should be boost ball

Whenever it gains exp

[olive jetty]

Where does it say

?

[safe quail]

Whenever it gains exp

Instead of saying u get 500 exp

It says u get a boosted 500 exp

[olive jetty]

ohhh

[safe quail]

Or w/e

[olive jetty]

Imma try that

they needa fix ability balls tho

[safe quail]

It would be nice

[stoic sigil]

Alright. Yes, you can change to alt sprites (and autogens if you're mad) in the pokedex. The alt logic is simple, it's just the sprite image file with an appropriate letter at the end. So all you'll need to do is know the index number i.e. the sprite filename of the fusion, check in CustomBattlers\indexed\ if the fusion already has alts and then place the sprite you want to add into CustomBattlers and add the next free alphabetical letter to the filename. So for example, if you wanted to add an alt to the Bulbasaur/Charmander fusion, its index number is 1.4 and so it's sprite is 1.4.png, located in CustomBattlers\indexed\1\. You'd check that folder and see that it has (for the sake of an example) one alt already, i.e. there are files called 1.4.png and 1.4a.png already. You'd then add your new sprite to CustomBattlers like you'd do with any new sprite, but rename it 1.4b.png

[earnest sage]

That makes sense I think

[nimble trout]

hey i dragged this month's sprites into custombattlers but when i open the game i don''t get the usual new sprites message

do i need to do anything?

[thorn hemlock]

yeah i did that and i just dont have custom sprites anymore

[nimble trout]

oh and also the indexed folder is missing?

[safe quail]

U on mac?

[nimble trout]

if u mean me then nope

[safe quail]

Ok interesting

Usually when the indexed folder disappears

It's cuz someone on mac followed the install instructions and used drag and replace

Which performs a different function from windows

[nimble trout]

i've downloaded the 1-88 pack this time and completely replaced custom battlers

but still no indexed or message on opening

[safe quail]

Completely replace wouldn't do anything

Neither the 88 nor 1-88 pack has indexed folder by default

And the game doesn't make it

[nimble trout]

so that's normal then?

[safe quail]

Well it's normal when u do it wrong yea lol

U need to delete that folder and extract the original graphics folder and try again

Unless u wanna create the indexed folder manually

[nimble trout]

just create the folder?

[safe quail]

That was a joke

U would need to create all 421 composite folders

[nimble trout]

oh

so then i get the base game custom battlers and then dump sprites into it from the 1-88 pack

[safe quail]

Yea, and try not to do anything that would delete the indexed folder, or the original custombattlers folder and by extension the indexed folder

[nimble trout]

[thorn hemlock]

Any idea on what’s wrong with my sprites?

[nimble trout]

all good now tyty

[safe quail]

Dope

[safe quail]

No

[thorn hemlock]

I just copied the new sprite pack over which made the sprites not work in the game

[spare prawn]

I keep getting this error whenever I try to challenge brock in the gym for my badge can someone help me?

[hybrid dome]

Does anyone know why my game goes to a black screen for like a minute after exiting buildings and battles?
It doesn't happen when entering buildings only exiting battles and buildings
it takes sooooooo long

[turbid terrace]

Hey @hybrid dome! 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.

[sullen anchor]

Hey y’all, does breeding with ditto work in this game? I swear my dittos been sitting with a vaporeon in the daycare for hours and not a single egg

[safe quail]

Seen people's saves get corrupted bc they don't have enough kilobytes for the save to write

[fluid creek]

anyone able to help me properly download the custom sprites? i'm having a lot of trouble

[somber gate]

i have many things to say. so ill simplify this. Joiplay. ive tried 5.1, read it doesnt work and to try 5.0, doesnt work, ive done 4.8 or 9 whichever, no luck. one version, i forget, got me this

explain to me. i need to know.

i beg of you all..

[hot flicker]

Well since you begged... I just installed this on my phone since I want to make a video. The current version of the game works. You just can't download the lite version and you need to have the latest version of the app which you can get from their website

[turbid terrace]

Hey @hot flicker! 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.

[somber gate]

so i need the current version of joiplay..? i have the app...

[hot flicker]

Yes. The android store doesn't have the most up to date one

[hot flicker]

It is me. I try to help by making videos. Also those videos pay me so there's that as well

Hello, does anyone know how to fix this?

[gleaming wharf]

this is the 2nd time I get this error and both times it's when I get to lavender town I've lost all progress twice already and it's frustrating that I have to start over again after grinding for hours and there's no help on how to fix it

[gleaming dock]

keep getting this error report after catching a voltorb in the power plant yesterday, just reinstalled the game and deleted my save games and it still won't go away

[mild sparrow]

Is there a way to get the magic boots without cheat engine or completing the 351 dex?

[graceful osprey]

420* dex

[somber gate]

YOU LIE! I DID AS YOU INSTRUCTED AND IT FAILED AGAIN

[spiral spruce]

no

[fresh rampart]

When i try to download the game, my browser stops it and says virus detected. Is this a common thing

[novel lodge]

Same here

[jolly arch]

Keeps saying that Game.ini is missing

[turbid terrace]

Hey @jolly arch! 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.

[sullen anchor]

How do i change custom sprites?

[turbid terrace]

Hey @sullen anchor! 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!

[sullen anchor]

sprite isnt changing

my sprite is not changing in the pokedex

[spiral spruce]

did you reload the game?

[sullen anchor]

haven't yet

i'll try it

[native hill]

Can someone please tell me how to get an updated dex? PLEASE

[spiral spruce]

[native hill]

So essentially I am using the magic boots and I look up the pokedex so I can add a pokemon cause I wanna try their fusions but the dex number is not right and gives me a different pokemon

[native hill]

.

[spiral spruce]

are you looking at the official number or the number for this game. because the are different

[native hill]

im trying to find the numbers for this specific game

[spiral spruce]

[tall holly]

?tag pokedex

[pearl magnet]

All Gen1-2 Pokémon are in the game, and the Pokémon that are included from Gen3+ (aswell as their location and Pokédex number) can be found here:

https://infinitefusion.fandom.com/wiki/Pokédex

No new Pokémon will be added. The game has reached its limit!

[ocean temple]

theres a wiki?

[tall holly]

There is. Someone actually updated our pokedex page, that was nice of them

[spiral spruce]

yes. but some stuff is outdated

[native hill]

[plain fable]

what is the hex code for magic boots?

[fresh rampart]

go into windows defender and exempt the file

its a false reading

[novel lodge]

Yeah, did that. Downloaded. But now I can't extract the file cause of an error.

[fresh rampart]

what error?

[novel lodge]

This problem may occur if a file that the Windows Product Activation (WPA) requires is damaged or missing. This behavior occurs if one or both of the following conditions are true:

A third-party backup utility or an antivirus program interferes with the installation of Windows XP.

A file that WPA requires is manually modified.```

[fresh rampart]

have you got 7zip

[novel lodge]

nope

[fresh rampart]

hm

[novel lodge]

Should I get it?

[fresh rampart]

can you open other files

zips i mean

[novel lodge]

Yeah. I can extract the patch just fine

[fresh rampart]

yeah go get 7zip then

[novel lodge]

Alright.

[empty galleon]

whenever I try to open up the game, this pops up

[astral violet]

Is the Pokeradar bugged? I've been trying it for a while and haven't gotten the secret Mon on the scientist route. Yes I'm using repels and black flutes.

[sterile pivot]

i’m getting something similar

is this a fucked up fusionmon in my files or something

[empty galleon]

for me I didn't have to use repels or black flutes, and sometimes to get the secret pokeradar mon you have to get to the sparkling leaves fast

[astral violet]

The rustling leaves? I don't think I ever see sparkling ones.

[crisp pagoda]

My character stopped moving and I can’t open my menu. Is there anything I can do at this point to not lose my progress?

The only button that still works is f1

[slate imp]

have you caught/seen all of the regular mons on the route already?

[astral violet]

Think someone else gave me the answer. I'm in modern mode and thought the secret mon was a Squirtle but apparently that's a normal one that I have to encounter without the radar first.

[maiden mesa]

How do i make it stop lagging when i switch between pc boxes

[summer tendon]

Does the full game download come with the most up to date sprites

or do I have to also download those

[iron egret]

hi, maybe a dumb question but im not finding anywhere how to do it, when you download a sprite package there are other two folders. What do i need to do whith those two?

[turbid terrace]

Hey @iron egret! 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.

[floral idol]

my reverse button disappeared after wondertrading once, anyone know how i can fix that?

nvm

[heady pine]

Need some assistance, tried to run the game and got this error

When I attempted to add the sprites, did I do something wrong?

[summer tendon]

if I have "download sprites" on, do I ever have to go and grab the sprite packs

[stoic sigil]

This is a bug in autogen sprite downloading that will be fixed in the next patch. For now, I recommend getting the full version + sprite pack 1-88 and disabling sprite downloading

[stoic sigil]

Sprite downloading downloads the sprite once, and as soon as it has a custom sprite locally available, it won't update. So if you care about having the latest main sprites, you'll want the packs

[summer tendon]

but it should have the most recent packs now, ill have to do the download next time?

@stoic sigil

I installed the lite version because it said it constantly connects to the internet to check for sprites

is that a bad idea

[stoic sigil]

Yeah, over the short term you'll have the latest sprites, but a new pack's sprites won't overwrite any replacement mains if your game has downloaded a custom sprite for that mon already. Autogens on the other hand are checked every time (which is why they cause hitching with downloads on)

[stoic sigil]

And both versions have this ability (the download sprites option in the options menu), the only difference between the full and light versions is that light doesn't include any fusion sprites and relies on the downloads, in order to reduce the game download size

So it actually only connects to the internet when it encounters a new or an autogen sprite

[iron egret]

needing some asistance here, pls

[summer tendon]

@stoic sigil so which would you recommend before I delve in

[stoic sigil]

Currently, because of the bug seen above your original question, I can't recommend the light version

[stoic sigil]

Alts you can import to the game if you want, you can switch to them in each pokemon's pokedex entry's sprites tab. Others are just extras you can manually apply if you want them, they're mostly jokes and references

[sly grail]

EDITED: Managed to fix my issue for now! Because MacOS does not merge files when overwriting but rather replaces then, my patch files destroyed the game.

I received this same error but on a fresh boot on a MacOS Wine Wrapper

How do I disable the auto downloading of sprites?

Or do I just directly drop all the sprites into the folder in order to prevent the auto download?

[sly grail]

(I basically get the crash message after the initial start-up animation, but the file it's missing is different every time)

[mild rampart]

i got this message after starting the game can anyone help me?

[hot flicker]

You extracted the game in a weird collection of folders. Create a folder on your desktop. Extract 5.1.2.4-full.zip into that folder

[mild rampart]

thank you for the help

Do I have to install the sprite pack if I just installed the full game for the first time

[stoic sigil]

You'll need 87 and 88, but I'd just get 1-88 anyway

[stoic sigil]

Try re-extracting the data folder, sometimes extractions go wrong. And don't use the Windows built-in extractor, that thing extracts more errors than the actual files

[somber gate]

It hasn't worked.. nothing has.. why can't joiplay fucking work

[terse plank]

im having an issue where i can start the game, it plays the opening animation but then i get this error:

[hot flicker]

What version did you download?

[glad dagger]

Question about the sprite pack, I notice a few sprites have alternate versions (like itll say something like 125a and 125b), do we have to go through and manually delete the ones we dont want or does the game let us choose which ones we want?

[terse plank]

5.1.2.4

[hot flicker]

Mkay. Which file did you download from mega

[terse plank]

wdym

[hot flicker]

Base sprites you have to replace yourself.

[stoic sigil]

Because mobile. Let the bot explain below:

[turbid terrace]

Hey @stoic sigil! 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.

[hot flicker]

When you downloaded the game. Which file did you download

[somber gate]

God I've tried the video. It never works.

[stoic sigil]

This is a known bug in 5.1.2.4 light version. You'll just have to get the Battlers folder from the full version for now

[terse plank]

i wasnt able to download from mega because of the paywall so i had to download each file iundividually from mediafire and then zip them together, i went from there - gimme a min ill check

[stoic sigil]

Because mobile hasn't been supported since like 5.0, so if it doesn't work, it doesn't work and the best you can do is try older versions

[hot flicker]

Personally I think he extracted it wrong.

[stoic sigil]

This is odd. Are you using a custom player sprite?

[terse plank]

i might've the way i did it was quite janky

[stoic sigil]

The error message shows it's the autogen sprite download path bug (double slashes in the path). I fixed it myself for the next version

[somber gate]

What do you think I've been trying

[glad dagger]

Sorry I didn't mean the base pokemon sprites, I mean the fusion versions.

Example: theres 3 different sprites for the Mismagus/Lucario fusion, one that looks like a mismagus, one that looks like some kind of noir lucario, and the third is the same but in monochrome.
If I only wanted the 2nd one, would I have to delete the other two, or does the game let you pick?

[late kraken]

the custom sprite i have is the player jotaro

[hot flicker]

Oh and you can play mobile on the current version. Planning on making a video today

[gentle zinc]

before i start playing i have the full version where can i get the sprite package and how do i install it PC

[turbid terrace]

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

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

[stoic sigil]

Oh that's gonna be hype

[gentle zinc]

thx

[glad dagger]

So I had this issue at first too, and I think it's because the file also contains the previous versions as well. You just need to select the version you want to download and ignore the others I believe.

[hot flicker]

One issue I think people have with mobile is that they put the game on a SD card

[turbid terrace]

[stoic sigil]

That's likely the issue, try reverting to the original sprite

[terse plank]

ok so the error stopped showing but now after the animation i get this:

[glad dagger]

Oh, well that answers my question xD

Ok so use the pokedex to Switch sprites, gotcha

[hot flicker]

Yeah you extracted it wrong or you only extracted the patch

[late kraken]

i am

[terse plank]

ok ill fiddle around with it thx for the help 🙂

[gentle zinc]

a stupid question, can i play the game on a 2017 modded switch 🙂

[hot flicker]

https://youtu.be/uvqXltkYIao watch that so you can get an idea

[terse plank]

thanks!

[hot flicker]

Short answer, no. Long answer, yes but it isn't worth the pain

[novel mango]

joined this discord for having this exact same problem. thank you o7

[hot flicker]

Lol no problem!

[glad dagger]

@terse plank so reading your post, it seems like you had the same issue I did at first.

So when you go to the Mega link, you get this up.

See the folder I've circled?
As far as I'm aware, you dont need to download this folder, as it just contains the previous versions of the game, you only need the other files below it (and even then only the version you actually want, like if you want the full version and not the lite one etc.)

Hope that helps~

[stoic sigil]

In fact, you only need to download one of the zips named -full, ignore the big download button

Read the which version should you get text file

[terse plank]

thx 🙂 im trying a couple diffrent things ill check if did that if what im doin rn doesnt work

[gentle zinc]

@hot flicker ok im not instaling to android only atmosphire

[turbid terrace]

[stoic sigil]

And because you've already tried downloading everything and thus exceeded your quota, you'll need to wait 5 hours to try again, this time downloading just one of the zips named -full

[terse plank]

thx for that i was gonna ask

[short linden]

tf is this

[stoic sigil]

Re-extract the Graphics folder

And don't use Windows built-in extractor

[short linden]

the fuck does that mean

[hot flicker]

D:

[short linden]

extract to where'

[stoic sigil]

Calm down. You know how you extracted the game to play it? Extract the Graphics folder again

So that it replaces the current one

[glad dagger]

So I dunno if this is a tech issue or a bug, but does anyone have a fix for this?

The background doesnt load upon entering certain places until after having an battle, is this a bug or is there a tech fix for it?

[short linden]

how do i extract only the graphics folder

im aving difficulty opening the zip

[hot flicker]

Usually this is hardware related. Try using the alternate launcher

[short linden]

minecraft render lmao

[glad dagger]

The alt launcher still uses the same save files right? I'd hate to have to restart the game

[hot flicker]

You're good. It does

[glad dagger]

Kk will give it a try

[stoic sigil]

Open the zip in 7-Zip or Winrar, then drag and drop the Graphics folder into your game folder

[short linden]

i ahve uniextractor-

[fair dawn]

Sorry to ask an unrelated error, would anyone happen to know why I can't see the "Battle UI" and "Battle Motion" options in my Options menu?

[stoic sigil]

Never used it 🤔 But if it has a UI, it probably has the same drag-and-drop functionality

[gentle zinc]

paist all the ordner to grafic´s?

[stoic sigil]

Cause those aren't options in the game?

[fair dawn]

Maybe, was this feature removed? its currently listed on the wiki

[stoic sigil]

The wiki can be outdated in places

[fair dawn]

It also looks like some screenshots on the pokecommunity forum page have more modern UI:

[short linden]

yo suamppa

i cant open the zip file

to extract only the graphics

[rough idol]

That's the old UI yea, it's not like that anymore

[gentle zinc]

MR.WONDERBRA 🙂

[short linden]

i have to extract the whole file again

[fair dawn]

Ahh gotcha, thank you for letting me know

[stoic sigil]

The game is getting close to the amount of data the engine can handle, these kinds of features have likely been cut to make room

[gentle zinc]

1-88 to grafics ?

[short linden]

if i extract the files to replace the files in the folder

doesnt that replace the save file folder as well

thus deleting my saves?

[stoic sigil]

You could try getting 7-Zip or Winrar alternatively (7-Zip is very lightweight)

[short linden]

are they free tho-

[rough idol]

The save file is in an entirely separate place on your computer

[stoic sigil]

Winrar has the legendary purchase prompt, 7-Zip is completely free and open source

[short linden]

okay thanks

[stoic sigil]

If you mean installing the sprite pack, you copy the CustomBattlers folder into your game's Graphics folder

[short linden]

aight so i got

7zip

now what

giveme the most step by step

like hold my hand

and walk me thru

[stoic sigil]

Alright, after installing, you now have a new context menu option called 7-Zip when right-clicking in the file explorer. Right-click the game zip, go to the 7-Zip menu and select "Open"

[short linden]

aight now

[stoic sigil]

This opens a new 7-Zip window. Back in the file explorer, go to your game folder, so that it's open next to the 7-zip window

Then just drag and drop the Graphics folder from the 7-Zip window into the game folder (where you can also see a Graphics folder)

(screenshot incoming)

[short linden]

into the graphics folder

or into the folder folder

[stoic sigil]

Drag the circled folder into the folder

And let it replace when it asks

[short linden]

kk

thanks mate

[vestal pewter]

anyone know how to fix the black screen after trainer battles

[turbid terrace]

Hey @vestal pewter! 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

[stoic sigil]

Try the alt launcher (be patient when launching)

[short linden]

yo bro

it says file not found

[vestal pewter]

ok ill try that

[short linden]

graphics battler file wasnt found or sm shit

[short linden]

the alt launcher doesnt still do that for me

sed

and windows crashd

[stoic sigil]

o.o

I think your pc is having a stroke

[scarlet canyon]

I'm having the same issue. I tried re-extracting the graphics folder twice and it hasn't worked. How do I use the alternate launcher?

[stoic sigil]

Is your game download the light version?

[stoic sigil]

The alt launcher is only available with the full version of the game, so you'll need to switch to that if you're on light. Otherwise it's just a separate .exe in the game folder

[scarlet canyon]

Hope my computer can handle it. Thank you.

[ripe swan]

Do anyone know how to fix this? I've tried to fix it in many ways

[glad dagger]

That's the issue we're currently discussing, try using the Alt Launcher (available only with the full version)

[short linden]

nop

[stoic sigil]

Try extracting the graphics folder again, but this time extracting it to somewhere else first and then moving it into the game folder (i.e. separating the extracting and file replacing steps)

[short linden]

'='

sure

[stoic sigil]

Oh one more thing I just remembered somebody having once: Check the game zip and see if Graphics\CustomBattlers\ has a subfolder called indexed in it

[restive lava]

not sure if this is the right channel to post this in but whenever i try to start a randomizer playthrough i get this error

[stoic sigil]

This is the right channel. You on 5.1.2.4?

[restive lava]

im pretty sure but how do i check?

[stoic sigil]

From the name of the zip you downloaded

[restive lava]

yes it is on 5.1.2.4

[stoic sigil]

No need to delete the game files, but try getting the 5.1.1 version from the older versions folder in Mega and extracting it to a separate folder. Randomize on that and save, then return to the newer version

I'm not 100% sure if this is the best way, but it's one I know

[hot flicker]

But wouldn't the data of the trainers being shuffled remain in the other folder?

[restive lava]

would i update the game from the 5.1.1 version or move th save data from 5.1.2.4

[stoic sigil]

Oh you're probably right, randomizations are saved in Data and not among the save data?

[hot flicker]

Right

[stoic sigil]

Saves are in a separate shared location

[restive lava]

ok thanks

[stoic sigil]

But hold on a sec

[hot flicker]

I think there is another problem happening. I play the game quite a bit on full randomizer and have never had an error screen. But maybe just playing on 5.1.1 would be the quickest fix

I just think trying to randomize other aspects of the game and see if it works is worth trying

[royal valley]

Is this from a corrupted save file?

[hot flicker]

How much of the game are you getting to randomize?

Usually D:

I think that's the error. Look at the pinned message

[restive lava]

i tried randomizing all of them

[stoic sigil]

Yeah that's a corrupted save, see pinned like Duo said

[royal valley]

Thought so

[hot flicker]

Try just randomizing pokemon encounters and see if the game can continue

[royal valley]

Just wanted confirmation

[stoic sigil]

There's a possible recovery method in the pinned FAQ

[royal valley]

I’m trying it

[restive lava]

ok tried this and it worked

thanks

[terse plank]

hi @hot flicker and @stoic sigil and @glad dagger just wanted to say thx for all ur help its all working now - have wanted this for a hwile and never quite managed it but now i have 🙂 thx so much

[hot flicker]

Yayyyy

[hot flicker]

Oh 8|

[unique patrol]

I see that there are different characters folders that I can play like May, Eevee, and Mysterious Girl. Is it possible to switch from my character sprite to those? If so, what are the steps to do so.

[hot flicker]

You find those files in the graphics folder. Character and trainer folders.

Just gotta dig in and start searching

[normal elbow]

Is this the right spot to ask for help with fixing sprites for some fusions having two completely different Pokemon be used?

Cause, yeah, I don't think this is suppose to be the result of Klink and Poliwhirl fusing together

[hot flicker]

Yeah even on the website for fusing this happens

[normal elbow]

Really? Even though it looks like a fusion of Shinx and Meowth?

[hot flicker]

Mhmm

[normal elbow]

I'm, incredibly confused as to why this is, but oh well??

[stoic sigil]

Yeah, seems to be misnamed

dex shinx

[turbid terrace]

Shinx's IF Pokédex number is 388!

[stoic sigil]

dex meowth

[turbid terrace]

Meowth's IF Pokédex number is 52!

[stoic sigil]

Should be 388.52.png

[hot flicker]

There is no custom sprite for that mon. I would just delete it so it can use the non custom

[stoic sigil]

And this is the current 388.52 one

[hot flicker]

Or go into the pokedex and change it

[normal elbow]

Gotcha, thanks

[hot flicker]

Yeah there is no custom for 397.61

[normal elbow]

Hopefully there will be one in the future

So, how do I add the sprite so it will keep both for Shinx/Meowth?

[stoic sigil]

This error seems to have been reported in #1052360360172199977 early last month, so it's documented

[stoic sigil]

Move the file to CustomBattlers and rename it 388.52a.png

[normal elbow]

[rain panther]

I have a problem using cheat engine with the IF 5.1.2.4

want to add some rare candies as i want to play nuzlocke

does anyone has the same problem as me?

I can't seems to run cheat engine on IF 5.1.2.4

[stoic sigil]

Pokemon Challenges had gotten it to work but said it was a huge pain. He's contemplating making a tutorial on it but says it's unlikely. So all I can say is it's possible, but no idea how

[rain panther]

i know this game want to patch a lot of things as much as possible but, this make things hard. I saw a lot of nuzlocker on YT need Rare Candies assistant when streaming. It just make it more unenticing to play nuzlocked and stream them.

[stoic sigil]

It's not as simple as you're making it sounds

[rain panther]

I don't have the problem on 5.1.2.3 or below. the problem only exist on 5.1.2.4

[stoic sigil]

Then use the older version

[rain panther]

if only i can find those older version. There is v4 but after playing v5, I aint going to play v4

[stoic sigil]

You should also wait for TheDuoDesign to come online again, they have experience with the cheat engine. You can also scour their youtube channel for possible info:
https://www.youtube.com/@TheDuoDesign

[winged mango]

What's the problem exactly? Any error messages come up?

[rain panther]

it seems that i cant search for any address

last time the general formula to search was using "x times 2 and then plus 1" to get any variable

so let say to search for the quantity for potion

let say 4 potion = 9

[winged mango]

specifically Ruby integers, but yea.

[rain panther]

and then either sell 1 which make the next search become 7

yes

but this time

i cant seems to even search those

[winged mango]

and you've tested this on two different game versions recently?

[rain panther]

i manage to do it on 5.1.2.3, 5.1.1 and even on the 4.9

but i cant seems to make it work on 5.1.2.4

[winged mango]

Does it find any values in your search?

[sterile pivot]

Hey, what can i do to solve this issue?

[rain panther]

scan error:no readable memory found

[stoic sigil]

This is a known bug in the light version. You fix it by switching to full, or at least getting the Graphics\Battlers\ folder from it

[sterile pivot]

I'm using the full version

[stoic sigil]

Both are titled full, but the light version zip has the word light before the version number

[winged mango]

you attached Cheat Engine to the game's process, right?

[sterile pivot]

Do you think redownloading it entirely would work too?

[stoic sigil]

Unless you do have full but something has gone wrong during extraction and you're missing some files in Battlers

[rain panther]

ofcourse

at first i thought its the CE problem

but when iuse it on any other game

it can work normally

[stoic sigil]

Specifically, this is a simple bug in sprite downloading, where autogen sprite download path has a misspelling where there's an extra slash, you can see it on the second line of the error message. But it shouldn't be downloading if you had the full version, cause it only downloads autogens when it can't find any sprites

So I recommend the full version for now

[winged mango]

try changing the scan region/range to a smaller stop address

[sterile pivot]

Should i open the game before actually downloading the patch?

[stoic sigil]

If you're switching from light to full, it's best to delete all the game files and start fresh instead of the patch (your saves are safe)

[sterile pivot]

It was my first attempt on playing this

[rain panther]

the same problem exist. I even reduce it to a single bit

[round lion]

is there any way to get unlimited rare candies at the start?

[rain panther]

There is none

[stoic sigil]

That's what Dynte and Geo are discussing rn

[winged mango]

there is

[rain panther]

using debug mode?

[winged mango]

I made a table that can get the pointers to your bag and item storage.

could even enable debug mode, without the boots, right at the start.

[rain panther]

which version 5.1.2.4 do u use? patch, full or light?

[winged mango]

should work on any version as long as the variable and class names are consistent

[gusty patrol]

Would i ask here if im not getting the correct sprite?

[stoic sigil]

Sure

[round lion]

how do u do that, i have the debugger but i cant seem to figure out how to get candies

[rain panther]

what do u mean "not getting the correct sprite?"

[gusty patrol]

So for some reason im not getting the sprite for lopunny/aegislash but im getting the correct sprtie with doublade and honedge

[stoic sigil]

Like you get an autogen instead of custom or completely the wrong sprite?

[gusty patrol]

The calculator says i get this

I got this

[stoic sigil]

Show me your CustomBattlers folder

[winged mango]

Get my table and I should have a Debug Pointer with a switch for Debug Status. Set it to On and you'll be in debug mode.

[gusty patrol]

I downloaded the one in downloads

[round lion]

wdym ur table

[stoic sigil]

You mean the sprite pack or the game?

[gusty patrol]

Sprite pack

[stoic sigil]

Send a screenshot of your CustomBattlers folder

[gusty patrol]

Of the folder or the files inside

[stoic sigil]

The files inside

Also, did you download pack 88 or 1-88?
