[rain panther]

I think i will dl a clean IF later and see it from there. I can't seems to get any address whatsoever

[scarlet canyon]

So the alternate launcher worked for a bit. But as soon as I tried to evolve a Nidoran/charmander I got the same error message and crashed. Happened twice.

[steep reef]

Is tech support right channel to ask help with this?

[winged mango]

maybe also try editing the "Extra" settings in cheat engine. Try unchecking all the options if they are checked.

[stoic sigil]

The error message would be helpful

[violet sun]

Hello! about the new sprite pack released yesterday. Should I add all the folders to the game or just the CustomBattlers?

[rain panther]

@winged mango u mean "Extra Custom Types"? Its all unchecked.

[stoic sigil]

Just CustomBattlers

[violet sun]

Ty

[stoic sigil]

Into the graphics folder

[proven edge]

hi anybody know how i can sort this image problem out

sorry if i'm interrupting

[scarlet canyon]

As soon as it cuts to the evolution screen.

Framerate seems a low lower since the first crash too.

[stoic sigil]

This is a pretty mysterious bug with the randomizer rn. Sometimes reshuffling at the update man can help, sometimes you need to use an older version like 5.1.1

[steep reef]

thanks! I tried the "Fix Game" option, but didn't shuffle yet

Ill give it a try

[stoic sigil]

That's a permission issue. Where's your game folder located?

[scarlet canyon]

In my program files.

[stoic sigil]

That is a restricted access location. Move the game folder to e.g. the desktop or to the root of the drive or something, just not cloud or program files or other special locations

[scarlet canyon]

Thank you very much.

[violet sun]

My gengar/zoroark has a sprite thats not up to date, how do I fix it? according to discords bot it should look much better than it is in my gme

INside custombattlers fodder there is two sprites corresponding to it

[stoic sigil]

Can you send a screenshot?

[stoic sigil]

The one with 'a' at the end of the name is an alt. Go to the pokedex (by pressing A at the summary screen) and go to the sprites tab to switch to alts

[heady pine]

mhmm was wondering if I could get some minor assistance, just curious what to do when adding the sprite folder to my game. In the video im watching theres a "CustomBattlers" folder in the sprite pack folder but mine doesnt have this.

[stoic sigil]

Have you used any packs previously?

[violet sun]

I didnt follow correctly, should I look for gengar/zoroark Dex entry and then press A?

[heady pine]

No, 2nd time trying to get this game running XD

[stoic sigil]

You can go the same summary screen you're showing in this screenshot and press A there to get a menu with a View Pokedex option

[violet sun]

Ah ok! thanks it worked

[stoic sigil]

Then you have just downloaded the wrong pack (you got 88 when you need 1-88). Go to #downloads and use the Google Drive link at the start of the sprite pack announcement message rather than the attachment at the end

[heady pine]

that makes alot of sense, tyvm

[stoic sigil]

No problem, the latest announcement is a bit confusing cause the drive link didn't create a preview next to the attachment like it usually does

[heady pine]

yeah, I read through the post but completely overlooked that

Just thought the attachment at the bottom was what I needed.

[proven edge]

anybody know how i can sort this out?

i think the color change was due to day night cycle cos it was different before

but something is up with the images

[stoic sigil]

Maybe try re-extracting the Graphics folder? No idea what's going on

[proven edge]

aight i'll try that rq

it didn't let me extract just the graphics so i'm just gonna re-extract the entire thing

[gusty patrol]

@stoic sigil like this?

[stoic sigil]

Just CustomBattlers, not its subfolders

[gusty patrol]

this?

[stoic sigil]

Graphics\CustomBattlers\

[gusty patrol]

wait so do i move the custombattlers into the graphics one

[rugged acorn]

do i need to download the new sprite pack? i thought the whole point of the new light version was it downloads it automatically? or is that just for like sprite updates outside of the main packs?

[stoic sigil]

Oh wait I just saw it

[stoic sigil]

Yes, do that

Graphics has its own CustomBattlers folder that I was trying to get at, but we found your issue this way. Should work after you move CustomBattlers to Graphics

[gusty patrol]

merging it now gonna test once its done

ok it works now thx for the hellp

[steep osprey]

I think I messed something up and am in need of tech support

I tried to patch from update 4.9.2 to 5.1.2.4 and now I can't start the game

[turbid terrace]

Hey @steep osprey! 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.
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/308392115338084360/994274889055875142/Capture.PNG

[spiral spruce]

v5 is a different game from v4

[steep osprey]

Oh I see

is there a way to get the save file from v4 to v5 or am I doomed?

[stoic sigil]

The save can technically be migrated but it's very unlikely to work properly

[steep osprey]

fair

imma just restart

I only got 6 badges anyway

[steel canopy]

Anyone can assist

[steep osprey]

should only take like 2 days

[stoic sigil]

There's a migration batch you can try but you'll also need to rename the save File A.rxdata after the migration since 5.1

[steep osprey]

Too much of a hassle, im just gonna restart, thx tho

[stoic sigil]

Randomizer has some issues rn. Try different randomization settings

[proven edge]

is the loading screen supposed to look like this just asking rq

[stoic sigil]

Yeah

[proven edge]

ok

then i dunno it's still being whack

[stoic sigil]

Well ig it looks oversaturated

Do other games look normal for you?

[proven edge]

yup

and i play a decent amount of rpg maker games aswell in my free time

[gentle zinc]

i love steam play the game over steam with controller

[proven edge]

maybe steam might help

[stoic sigil]

This is really odd. Where do you keep the game files?

[proven edge]

just in my downloads

in a separate folder

[timid fox]

is there an alt link for all the custom sprites? the google drive link isnt working

[stoic sigil]

Maybe try moving the folder to desktop, just in case. Though this doesn't feel like it's caused by that, most likely something to do with the GPU, its driver or something along those lines

[proven edge]

steam did not help

[proven edge]

i see

smh i was really hyped for this as well thanks for your help though perhaps a later iteration might work

[stoic sigil]

You can try going through the some files in Graphics and opening the images etc. to see if they look normal, and if not, that would point toward a rendering problem

[proven edge]

yeah

they all look pretty normal

[stoic sigil]

What's your gpu?

[gentle zinc]

If I play it via Steam because of the controller, does the save data remain in the folder where I have the game?

[proven edge]

Lemme check rq

[stoic sigil]

Yes, save data is independent

[stoic sigil]

Wait what OS are you running?

[gentle zinc]

pc or smartphone?

pc use taskmaneger

vor info to gpu

[stoic sigil]

There it is, I'm willing to bet it's ARM

The game's made in RPG Maker XP, do you know if you've been able to run other games made in it?

[proven edge]

Yeah but lemme just double check cos it might be an alternative rpg maker

[stoic sigil]

Yeah, there are different versions each with their own letters at the end, XP is the 2005 one

[proven edge]

Lemme double check the logo

Cos I feel like I've played something on almost all of them at some point on this computer

[stoic sigil]

Of course, when it comes to ARM-based processors, it's not even necessarily the engine, just the game .exe itself and you'd basically have to try to build the game yourself with your setup to get it to work for you. And that's possible too, just requires quite a bit of prior knowledge

[proven edge]

Oh shit you know what I think xp is that one I haven't tried yet

Of top I know about mv and vx ace

Yikes

Welp I'm planning to save for a new laptop anyways so I'll get to play this one day anyways

Thanks for your help hope you have a good day

[stoic sigil]

No problem, hope you'll get to play it soon

[scarlet canyon]

Well it's not crashing my game anymore but...

[stoic sigil]

The weird thing is that it didn't crash... But I think I've seen this before. I think this has happened when a sprite has alts available but no main sprite for some reason

Which Nido evo is the head?

[glass ermine]

Heya. I am trying to play random mode and I get this error every time after it went through the sprite folder. I use the latest version of the game.

[stoic sigil]

Try different randomizer settings, the current version has some bugs with certain combinations

[novel lodge]

so I've downloaded the full version and used the alternate launcher but it still has long black screens after battles and when I open the party.

[turbid terrace]

Hey @novel lodge! 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

[novel lodge]

No, that's not the issue.

[slim bolt]

I literally just downloaded the game and it wont start

[stoic sigil]

See pinned

[slim bolt]

Ah

Ty

[novel lodge]

okay so it has a faster time leaving battles and rooms, but it shits itself for a bit when I open the party

[stoic sigil]

If you're already on alt and it still lags, it's starting to point to a CPU bottleneck. But you can try to make it the best it can be by disabling sprite downloading (probably won't change anything cause it only affects situations when sprites are visible) and closing any unnecessary background software

And yes, this game is deceivingly CPU-intensive

[glass ermine]

Found settings that work to randomise the game but now I get this error before the 1st rival fight. Any thoughts about what is going wrong?

[stoic sigil]

Can you show the traceback.log?

[novel lodge]

Yeah, that's the impressoin I got. Well, Appreciate it anyway.

[glass ermine]

first few lines

[stoic sigil]

Gonna need a few more than that

[glass ermine]

Here is a larger one

[undone river]

My file is requiring a password, but I’ve never heard of anyone needing a password before. Sorry it’s just a picture taken from my phone, I haven’t figured out how to take screenshots on my computer yet

[formal violet]

If you press swim here you can swim through out all of cinnabar

[tacit crag]

The game is so slow it's unplayable on JoiPlay. Can you guys share the best settings or any other workarounds?

[scarlet canyon]

Male base form.

[undone river]

I’m just going to delete it and try again? I’m using mega to download it if that’s any help

[random stratus]

hey might be a dumb question but if I update my game to a newer version do I lose all my save files from the previous version?

[lapis berry]

when i get out a building or battle it takes a while to load

[undone river]

I tried this again and it’s still password protected. I’m not sure what to do about this

[maiden mesa]

i cant seem to enable smooth mode

[stoic sigil]

Use 7-Zip or Winrar

[stoic sigil]

If your saves are from 5.1 they're fine

[stoic sigil]

So it's Nidoran/Charmeleon?

[scarlet canyon]

Yes

[stoic sigil]

dex nidoran

[turbid terrace]

I don't think that's in IF. :thinking: Did you misspell something?

[undone river]

Neither worked

[stoic sigil]

dex Nidorino

[turbid terrace]

Nidorino's IF Pokédex number is 33!

[stoic sigil]

Check Graphics\CustomBattlers\indexed\32\ if you have a file called 32.5.png

[scarlet canyon]

I do not

[stoic sigil]

Install the sprite pack bundle 1-88 from #downloads (the first Drive link, not the attachment at the end)

[scarlet canyon]

Thank you!

[forest mason]

I apologize in advance but this is literally my first time playing any pokemon game other than Sword and i'm getting these errors trying to start a randomized run. I downloaded the fusion light version and did the patch and custom sprites download

[maiden mesa]

how do i find smooth mode

[stoic sigil]

1. You don't need the patch if you download the same full version and I don't recommend trying to apply it although it's unlikely to break something, but it might.
2. Try different randomizer settings, it's a bit buggy atm

[stoic sigil]

There is no smooth mode

[maiden mesa]

wiki says there is

[stoic sigil]

Wiki is outdated in many parts

[maiden mesa]

so im stuck with eternal lag. lovely.

[forest mason]

it was the light version i got, not the full but i'll do a reinstall and see if it works, thank you!

[stoic sigil]

Try the alt launcher

Just be patient when it launches

[maiden mesa]

i do use the alt launcher

[undone river]

Neither password worked. I tried them both several times.

[maiden mesa]

but still end up lagging when on the party screen or when im in the pc

[stoic sigil]

Yes, but what I meant is that the patch is only for previous version numbers

[forest mason]

Oh! okay, thanks for the info!

[stoic sigil]

Then it's your CPU most likely

[undone river]

Is the password thing normal? Am I using the right file?

I’m sorry, this is just my first computer so I’m not sure what I’m doing here

[compact marlin]

Somehow i cant get the sound of the game working. Can anyone help me with this

[stoic sigil]

It's not normal, try searching around with the search bar to the top right

[undone river]

Ok

Yeah, people are saying that the password 7zip worked for them but it’s just not working for me

Should I delete the file and try a different download site?

If so, what should I use? Because I used mega

[sick sorrel]

everything but pokemon fusion on my pc can read my controller... any guesses as to why?

[stoic sigil]

There's a new mirror 2 in #downloads you could try

[worn lantern]

I downloaded the march sprite pack and now my Game is crashing. I cant play no more

[junior vigil]

why don't any of the Bidoof sprites get added to Indexed?

[worn lantern]

like what do i do? Delte everthing and start from scratch?

[glad dagger]

Gave the alt launcher a try, the problem still pursists

[dusk canopy]

I just started a new save file in slot B and it has an identical copy of save slot A's pokemon in pc but all at lvl 5

[safe quail]

That is what new game plus does

[dusk canopy]

oh

should i have started a new game instead of new game plus

[safe quail]

If u didn't want this to happen sure

[dusk canopy]

ok, mb

[regal garnet]

how do i fix "the code execution cannot proceed because x64-msvcrt-ruby300.dll

[safe quail]

Screenshot ur main game folder

[regal garnet]

is this what your looking for?

[stiff sail]

Anyone experience an issue where the Johoto badges don't appear on the main trainer card, but appear to be appearing outside the screen?

[safe quail]

Ok so the game just doesn't have the .dlls it's looking for

[safe quail]

This typically happen whenever u haven't beaten Goldenrod gym

[regal garnet]

so how do i get the dll files back?

[safe quail]

Well I could hand u them but I'm not sure what else ur game is missing... u don't have either ruby .dll or the RGSS or zlib1.dlls, nor the readme

Is this ur first time trying to boot the game

[regal garnet]

i had been playing it for months

it also did show a zlib.dlls was missing

i forgot to say

[safe quail]

Did the files always look like this or did u just move it

[regal garnet]

pretty sure they have looked like that always

[safe quail]

Well they shouldn't have been able to run considering they don't have the code libraries necessary

I would personally recommend getting a new install because there's clearly smth up with this one, but if u don't wanna I can just send u the .dlls and see if the game will run

[regal garnet]

i'm fine with that as i did not have that much progress

thanks for the help

[jovial palm]

does anyone know how to change controller binds??

[safe quail]

People generally have better luck changing them on the alt launcher

[jovial palm]

what's the difference between alt and normal?

[safe quail]

Alt launcher takes a lot longer to boot up but it has reduced load times in-game and better controller compatibility

[jovial palm]

ahhh alright. let me try that then : )

will I have my save file still?

[safe quail]

Yeah

[jovial palm]

I can't type anything while it's loading right? I think I remember seeing that somewhere

[safe quail]

I don't know anything about that

[jovial palm]

I think it makes it crash

oh maybe not

[unique patrol]

How do I get the game to read alternate sprite?

[safe quail]

Depends

If the Pokedex works then it works

If it doesn't then u have to locate the file and make sure it's named properly

[unique patrol]

It is more of a trial and error test, I see.

[finite void]

Been playing for a while and now the game gives this error on launch. Tried both launchers too

[restive grove]

How do I fix this

My laptop is a chrome and its not working

[sage shuttle]

I’m not encountering Pokémon on the alternate launcher, but the normal launcher makes transitions from areas and battles etc really unplayable

[heavy flicker]

What do I do? Ive tried everything, reinstall, resprite, repatch, etc. Nothing. Even replaced the save with my past game save. Nothing.

[finite void]

Fixed. My AV flagged one of the files. After adding the game to an exclusion list and restarting my PC the game runs perfect

[heavy flicker]

How do I add it to an exclusion list???

Nvm. found it.

Gonna try it now

[safe quail]

I should probably recommend that instead of just turning off real-time protection and turning it back on again after

[distant herald]

I'm trying to add March's sprite pack to my game but when I load up the sprite pack there isn't a custom battlers folder in it. Am I doing something wrong?

[safe quail]

No, generally speaking the month-only sprite packs don't have custombattlers folders

Instead u want to copy the sprites from the pack directly into ur game's custombattlers folder

[distant herald]

Feb's pack had a custom battler folder though

[safe quail]

Not the feb-only pack

1-87 did

Just 87 didn't

[distant herald]

So will the game index the sprites if i copy them into the custom folder then?

[safe quail]

That is what both methods accomplish so yes

I feel like if they were gonna recommend the drag-and-replace method they should've kept a custombattlers folder in the month-only pack and put a warning for Mac users lol

[heavy flicker]

WHY. WHY WILL IT NOT WORK. I DONT UNDERSTAND

[safe quail]

Ur savefile is incompatible

[heavy flicker]

It says something about it not being the right format version, but I dont know how to fix it! How do I change it back to the right format???!!!

[safe quail]

U can right click ur savefile and check the properties to see if u have a previous version u can restore it to but the save file as it is rn is not usable

[heavy flicker]

No..

Okay, ill try it

But I swear to all that is holy

If it doesnt work

I will cry.

[safe quail]

Probably won't

[heavy flicker]

Thanks for the hopes, lupus.

[safe quail]

yup

[heavy flicker]

There is no previous versions/

..

Alright, im going to go slam my head in a door and scream for 3 hours

Ill be back after and maybe ill play again.

[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

[heavy flicker]

I dont think I did any ogf that

of*

[safe quail]

How's ur system storage

If u have enough storage on the drive for the game to write, u didn't interrupt the save process, u didn't update from a version earlier than 5.1, and u weren't manipulating the save using magic boots or cheat engine, etc., we don't really know what causes this

Which is why it's recommended to keep a backup

[restive grove]

What do I do

I have a chrome laptop

[safe quail]

well u can try turning off download sprites in options

[restive grove]

?

[safe quail]

Not sure if u can get to the options menu to do that tho

[restive grove]

Yeah I cant

[safe quail]

Game isn't made to work with joiplay

Not much u can do I don't think

[restive grove]

what can I use to play it?

[safe quail]

Windows and Mac emulating Windows

[restive grove]

Well I can play infinite fusion 5.0

But it won’t work on the newer version

[hot flicker]

Which zip did you download?

Looks like you downloaded the lite versiion

[restive grove]

I downloaded the older version because its the only one that worked for me

Oh ye

I downloaded the light version

[hot flicker]

Yeah that's the problem

it doesn't work with the lite version

only the non lite

[restive grove]

Do you think you could send me a link to the non light file?

[hot flicker]

Its in the same place you downloaded the lite version

[restive grove]

Sorry for quality but which one

[hot flicker]

The non lite version

[restive grove]

Full or patch?

[hot flicker]

Are you patching your older game?

[restive grove]

Well im trying to update the 5.0 to the newest so yeah

[hot flicker]

but you downloaded the lite version as a stand alone?

[restive grove]

Yeah

[hot flicker]

then I am confused as to how you are confused by which one to get.

You can't get the lite version. You didn't want to patch the older game so that leaves one choice

[restive grove]

Hm

So get the non lite 5.1.2.4 full?

[hot flicker]

Yes

[restive grove]

Alr Im waiting for it to download

Once i have it downloaded I zip the file, correct?

[hot flicker]

You unzip it or extract it, yes. Zipping is the opposite

[restive grove]

Ok I extracted it. What next?

[hot flicker]

You already extracted the game? There is no way it was that fast

[restive grove]

Wait nevermind

Its taking a while

Thought it was going to be fast.

[hot flicker]

Yes. Go grab lunch and watch an episode of the Mandalorian

It might be done after that

[restive grove]

Im just go eat tacos and come back

[hot flicker]

[edgy egret]

So i just recently downloaded and installed on my laptop - going in and out of scenes (battles,buildings, etc) are super slow and that's like 80% of the game lol

Any way to fix this and just make it not take forever to load a different area?

Or is that just a matter of "you need a better running device" lol

[hot flicker]

Use the alternate launcher if you have it. You can also try switching to dna icons and turning off download sprites

[restive grove]

Alr its downloaded

Duo?

@hot flicker sorry for ping

IT WORKED

YOU WERE RIGHT

IT WORKED

[hot flicker]

lol

[restive grove]

THX YOU SO MUCH

[hot flicker]

no problem

[novel lodge]

So I downloaded the custom sprites and I think I followed the instructions but the double syvleon fusion is not an anime girl and I thought it was supposed to be? What's going on?

[night stone]

Hi, i keep encountering this error message when im trying to rebattle certain trainers. Has anyone else encountered this? Any known fixes?

[hot flicker]

looks like you need to randomize your game again.

[hot flicker]

That's probably a sprite someone just put into the game themselves

[novel lodge]

Is there a way to get the anime girl sylveon sprite in?

[edgy egret]

Bet i already have downloaded sprites on but ill switch to DNA icons if that'll have a positive effect

and will def load up w alt launcher as well

[novel lodge]

figured out I could use the pokedex to switch sprites. Fuck ya.

[hot flicker]

you can always turn off download sprites in the options menu at any time

[edgy egret]

Yeah i do that off the rip had issues w the game crashing last if i didn't so thats priority for me lol

[hot flicker]

Oh gotcha. I understand now

[foggy solstice]

Everytime I go to save the game from the menu, it corrupts my save, lol. What am I doing wrong?

[hot flicker]

Do you have enough space on your hard drive?

[foggy solstice]

oh shit, naw. Where its downloaded its full

Sheet

Ty

[hot flicker]

No problemo

[rare hedge]

Hi, I keep encountering this error whenever I fight trainers. Is there any I can fix this?

[hot flicker]

looks like you need to randomize your settings again

[rare hedge]

ok thanks

[edgy egret]

Still kinda slow on some entrances but Alt Launcher is way better, thanks man

[hot flicker]

Awesome :]

[tawdry dawn]

Hey so I just downloaded the newest sprite pack and I can’t figure out how tf to get it to work

[hot flicker]

https://youtu.be/6fkaxnIH4iM

watch that. I go over some of the sprites that don't cooperate

[light ether]

The game is super laggy for me. I have nothing else running. Do I need to update it?\

[azure hinge]

Is anyone aware of a way to get rare candies into the game? I've searched and tried for about an hour but nothing has worked thus far

[hot flicker]

No. Your computer is just struggling but there are a few things you can do. First, turn off download sprites and then switch to DNA icons, in the options menu

[hot flicker]

If that doesn't work use the alternate launcher if you downloaded the non lite version

[hot flicker]

https://youtu.be/E3B1qgEBcSk

watch that but instead of adding the magic boots just add rare candy

[azure hinge]

ok, thanks a lot! 🙂

[light ether]

oh shit we're endorsing cheats

Also alternate launcher doesn't work for me

[hot flicker]

Mhmm. You can catch all the non fused pokemon to unlock cheats but no one has time for that

It does work. Wait 5 minutes. Let it cook

It will be a black screen for a while

[light ether]

RGSS script seems to be stuck. RIP

[turbid terrace]

Hey @hot flicker! 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.

lol

[hot flicker]

let it sit. Don't touch it

[restive grove]

I tried fusing charmeleon with Tyrogue but it didn’t work

Anyone know why?

[hot flicker]

Turn off download sprites in options

[scenic aspen]

what link do i click to download the game

[scenic aspen]

or do i do them both

what next

[hot flicker]

Okay you get sent to the video https://youtu.be/uvqXltkYIao

[scenic aspen]

ty

[restive grove]

Wait

YOUR THE DUO DESIGN

OMG

[hot flicker]

Yeah. Im THE Duo Design. The one and only

[restive grove]

WHY DIDNT I REALIZE

[hot flicker]

well considering how much help you need...

your brain must be full

[restive grove]

Yeah

[hot flicker]

and can't spare lil ol me

[light ether]

If I turn off download sprites, does that mean I won't get wonder trade of new Pokemon?

[hot flicker]

Wonder trades are still good to go

[light ether]

So what do downloadable sprites do

[hot flicker]

Hey... Don't worry about it. If it makes your game faster. Just believe in the magic

If you don't like what happens just turn it back on. EZ

[light ether]

Only one problem

How do I do that

[restive grove]

Do what

[hot flicker]

Go into options

[light ether]

I swapped to DNA icons and turned off Autosave

[hot flicker]

great. Now turn off download sprites

[light ether]

It's not available in options

[hot flicker]

what version do you have?

[scenic aspen]

duo check dm's if u dont mind

[light ether]

5.1.1.1

[hot flicker]

ah that's why

your version doesn't have it

[light ether]

If I get a different version, do I lose all my progress?

[hot flicker]

No. The save is kept in a totally different place

but the different version will not run better

just has a couple new features like the battle tower

[light ether]

Game is still slow when I changed the icons

[hot flicker]

Then its your computer amigo

[light ether]

It can run RDR2, MFS2020, and Spider-Man without lag but it can't run Infinite Fusion?

[hot flicker]

This game hits different. Just demands in a different way

[light ether]

Infinite Fusion literally built different

RIP

[hot flicker]

Yes. The game is running in an engine not designed for this and just has TONS of stuff to load

[light ether]

My PC is too powerful to run this game lmao

[hot flicker]

Could be

[light ether]

I will probs just move the folder with the game to my laptop

See if that does anything

I won't lose my progress?

[hot flicker]

Possibly. Make sure the game is on a SSD

You will if you do it that way

[light ether]

I'm playing the game on an SSD on my desktop and my laptop only has an SSD

[hot flicker]

Good

[ashen olive]

whenever i try to launch the game it just shows up as this:

does anyone know how to fix?

[hot flicker]

I don't think I have ever seen an error message quite like that

what file did you download?

[ashen olive]

the one from the MEGA downlaoding site

[hot flicker]

Right. What's the name of it

[ashen olive]

the ffile?

[hot flicker]

yes sir/mam

[ashen olive]

infinitefusion_light_5.1.2.4_full

or something very similar i might've mistyped

[hot flicker]

Okay. And did you extract it, after downloading it?

[ashen olive]

yes

the ectract all button is what i pressed

is there another file i need to extract

[hot flicker]

No. Did you put it into its own folder or are there other files sharing the same space?

[ashen olive]

like theres a file with it and patch notes and instructions

and its inside that folder

[hot flicker]

Okay show me what the folder looks like

[ashen olive]

the top one is the one im trying to use

[hot flicker]

Right. Let me see into that folder

I think I know what the problem is

[ashen olive]

these are all the files in the folder

[hot flicker]

That is strange

it shouldn't look like that

[ashen olive]

it shouldn't?

[hot flicker]

No

Right click that one I am calling out and go to properties

[ashen olive]

should i just rextract it at this point

[hot flicker]

I don't know

Because it shouldn't be doing this in the first place and it may happen again

[ashen olive]

there isn't that file in the folder

[hot flicker]

AH I figured it out

you somehow extracted all the zips together?

[ashen olive]

maybe?

[hot flicker]

Yes, you did

that files is from 2004

[ashen olive]

i really dont know computers

[hot flicker]

You just need to extract 5.1.2.4-full.zip into a new folder on your desktop

delete everything else

[ashen olive]

ok

how do i do that

[hot flicker]

watch this https://youtu.be/uvqXltkYIao

[ashen olive]

ok its downloading

thank you for the help

[hot flicker]

No problem

[glacial wolf]

Im trying to download the 1-88 file from the google doc but it wont allow me. It says "sorry, you cant view or download this file at this time" and says too many people have viewed or downloaded it

[light ether]

I think there's your answer. Google Doc has a download and active view cap for large files

Is there a MEGA mirror?

[glacial wolf]

I have no idea what Mega mirror is

[light ether]

Is it available for download on MEGA instead of Google Docs?

[glacial wolf]

It doesnt offer one in downloads. Theres just a link to the doc with 1-88 then a link to just the 88 download

[tawdry dawn]

Hi, me again. So I got the 1-88 pack extracted into the custombattlers file but it didn’t index it. I booted up the game and it the new sprites aren’t there yet. The folder for all the sprites is just sitting in the custombattlers folder not doing anything. Any ideas on how I can fix it?

[molten vapor]

How do i get past this? Its the first battle in the game

[hot flicker]

Yeah you extracted the folder of its contents into the custombattlers folder. Only images go in that folder

[tawdry dawn]

So what can I do to fix it?

[lusty cave]

Can anyone tell me what this means? I get this error everytime I battle and it doesn't let me catch pokemon either :[

[formal ferry]

hello ive been trying to download the game but it has not been working. i think i need help

[empty galleon]

Whenever I try to open the game, this pops up

[errant grail]

hey, im not encountering anything in grass, the lavender tower, and the safari zone now

is there anything i can do?

[spiral spruce]

rerandomize the game with the guy in the suit on the second floor of the pokecenter

[errant grail]

rerandomize?

just finagle a bit with settings and set them back, or?

or the fix game option

bc it said that one can be a lil dangerous

[tawdry dawn]

Is there any way to fix it? Did I like mess up lol

[spiral spruce]

use the rerandomize option

[errant grail]

where is that option under?

having trouble finding it

[spiral spruce]

are you talking to the guy on the second floor of the pokecenter?

[errant grail]

yes

[spiral spruce]

it should be under randomizer options

[errant grail]

the update man

[tawdry dawn]

Oh wait is it because I pressed “Extract All” instead of “Extract To”?

[spiral spruce]

yes

[tawdry dawn]

It didn’t let me extract to earlier but now it is for whatever reason lol sorry I’ll try that

[errant grail]

thank you so much!

[ancient plover]

I've been having the game go dark to load for over a minute after every trainer fight and anytime I switch towns or step out of a building. Is there anything that can be done about this? This wasn't a problem before the last update

[lusty cave]

Using the alternate launcher fixed that for me

[ancient plover]

Thanks, I'll give it a shot

[serene kraken]

I'm currently doing a nuzlocke, but would like to cut the grind with lvl ups and EVs. is there a software compatible with the rom?

[unkempt harness]

I fused my Charizard with a Golem. I used Charizard as the head and Golem as the body. Seeing that Golem is a Rock/Ground type, I thought the fusion would become a Fire/Ground type, but for some reason it's Fire/Rock. I even tried reversing them, but it came out to Rock/Flying. Is there something that I'm missing?

[stiff sail]

I had a kabuto fossil that's been sitting there for a while, think I dropped it around 4th gym and now I'm in the post game. Tried collecting it and this happened

When I click OK it just ends the program

[neat vine]

YO

[safe quail]

Pewter lab is bugged, using cinnabar circumvents the issue

[neat vine]

I was literally just about to post the same issue

[hot flicker]

Its the rules for the gen 1 rock pokemon. They carry their rock type no matter what

[stiff sail]

Ouch, okay

They take the normal fossils not just the amber?

[neat vine]

Damn that fossil is just stick there now?

[unkempt harness]

Thanks. I appreciate it

[safe quail]

No it's all

[stiff sail]

Aiight

Now to just find another one...

[safe quail]

This fossil is not recoverable but u can get dupes from rock smashing post-game

[neat vine]

Post game is just after Kanto elite 4 yeah?

[safe quail]

yea

[safe quail]

yea cinnabar takes everything

[stiff sail]

There's a place in Johto you can break rocks and get fossils right?

[neat vine]

Where on cinnabar?

[safe quail]

The lab

It's not very big ull find the place

[stiff sail]

Its to the left of the pokemon center, has 3 windows

[safe quail]

To be more accurate, rock smash drop tables are globally updated with fossils

[stiff sail]

Ooooh okay

[safe quail]

I got a bunch of fossils rock smashing to get the pickaxe post-e4

[forest coral]

Question: I downloaded the custom sprites and put them all in the custom battlers folder but none of the base form pokemon show up, only the fused ones do. Am I supposed to put them somewhere else?

[safe quail]

yes, but u would need to index and rename them manually to replace the main sprites

Game has no function to import unfused mon sprites

[forest coral]

I see. Thanks! Is there an easy way to find the ones I want to replace?

[safe quail]

There's no shortcuts but if u understand the naming conventions it's not hard to navigate

[forest coral]

Okay, I'll see what I can do. Thank you~

[gleaming river]

What does this mean

I can’t play the game cause when I fused it show this

[spiral spruce]

this isnt a rom

[serene kraken]

ah

[cloud bough]

Could I get some help? I'm unable to download the file:

[rigid stag]

how do i play with a save file that was on a older version?

[sacred warren]

I'm not sure why my game keeps crashing here and i'm not sure how to fix it, this error message shows up each time

[lost iron]

Went through the first part of the intro with the Pokémon fusing together and fighting, then I black screen

[turbid terrace]

Hey @lost iron! 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

[lost iron]

Waited for five minutes

And it’s still mess up

Closed the game and everything

Restarted computer

Would it be best to just uninstall and reinstall

[wicked fable]

My pokemon suddenly has garbage stats, is there anything I can do to fix this?

[gusty patrol]

does anyone know why my lopunny/aegislash isnt making a cry when i send it out or view it in summary

[spiral spruce]

fight a route 1 pokemon. it should fix it

[ashen olive]

anyone know whats wrong?

[lusty cave]

Can anyone help? I miss playing :[

[lusty cave]

Anytime I battle this pops up

[red ledge]

Everytime I try to open the game this pops up

I just dowloaded

[spark wraith]

The game suddenly started lagging a lot when loading a new area, after a battle, even when opening my party. I tried the alternate launcher but the speed up function in that one doesn't work. Tried completely re-installing the game but it's the same problem. Anyone have an idea what's going on?

[dusk ferry]

hey so uh...

is there a fix for some sprites just not showing up at all?

even when I have download sprites on?

[lusty cave]

I usually just switch which launcher I'm using and it'll load in

[unreal raptor]

I got the same problem

[vivid wraith]

how do i fix this ?

ive tried reinstalling

i cant seem to get it to work

[stoic sigil]

See pinned

[vivid wraith]

thank you so much lol

[dusk ferry]

Where is unown

Tell me bot please where do I get Unown

[red ledge]

I reinstalled and it worked

[unreal raptor]

Okay thanks i will try that too

[stoic sigil]

Those commands don't work on this channel, try #ask-a-bot or #gameplay-help

[bleak fable]

Does anyone know how to connect a controller to the game

[hot flicker]

Did you randomize the game at all?

[hot flicker]

You buy an xbox controller and plug that baby in

[bleak fable]

I have an Xbox but no microusb cable

I clap connected it to my pc already I just don’t know how to use the key binds

Because I’m pressing the buttons on the controller but some of them don’t show up

[hot flicker]

Yeah that's normal

Some controllers just don't agree with the game

[bleak fable]

My a button works but the rest idk and I’m using my d pad to move I just need a button for Z

[bleak fable]

Are PlayStation 5 controllers compatible?

[hot flicker]

I believe so. I think someone mentioned playing it with one

[bleak fable]

My Xbox controller does work but I’m gonna try the play station one to

[rancid kestrel]

Started a new game on my Laptop but the environment doesnt load? 😰 Is there a fix?

[hot flicker]

Have you tried the alternate launcher?

[rancid kestrel]

Not yet! I try it now 🙂 👍🏼

[hot flicker]

It takes 5 min to load so let it sit

[glass merlin]

Trying to run fusion on android via joiplay getting this, what have i done wrong?

[turbid terrace]

Hey @glass merlin! 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.

[glass merlin]

Thats cool

[bleak fable]

Does anyone know why the keybinds on my ps5 controller won’t work

[hot flicker]

You watch a video about it?

[glass merlin]

I did

I saw that video in particular

[hot flicker]

Okay. Watch this one https://youtu.be/xs0afJ8cvJc

I made it yesterday

[glass merlin]

Ty

[bleak fable]

?

[hot flicker]

Its just not natively supported like the xbox

[bleak fable]

Oh ok

[glad dagger]

I did try the alt launcher and I'm still encountering this issue.

[hot flicker]

Then its just your PC struggling

[mystic compass]

What happened?

[hot flicker]

you encountered a natural shiny and the game bugged out

This is a bug currently with no fix I think

[mystic compass]

thats so sad...

[glass merlin]

@hot flicker was using wrong joiplay thx

[hot flicker]

No problem

[rough idol]

Update to the latest version, this was fixed a while ago

[glass merlin]

That runs rough

Like plays smooth but loading screens

[final robin]

Anyone know why it’s not letting me back out of the fight menu once I click it? All other menus in battle work fine.

[stoic sigil]

Can you confirm you have the 5.1.2.4 version of the game?

[stoic sigil]

It's X (Xbox controller) to back out there and only there for some reason, will be fixed in the next version

[civic trail]

When I try to randomizer, these errors appears and I can't play, what should I do?

[bleak fable]

Won’t let me fuse Hitmonlee with anything

[stoic sigil]

Don't grab the mon first and then try to fuse, empty the hand, and select fuse from the first menu

[stoic sigil]

Try different randomizer settings

[bleak fable]

Ok thx

[mighty socket]

back button isnt working when im selecting a move (as in i cant go back to decide nott o attack once im in that menu)

[stoic sigil]

#tech-support message

[mighty socket]

the X button keybind doesnt work either

[stoic sigil]

Try different buttons, it's one of them

For Xbox it's X, for a PS controller it would then probably be square, for keyboard I think it's 'D', 'S' or 'V'

[hot flicker]

Try Z as well

[mighty socket]

got it thank you

[somber gate]

@hot flicker you have explaining to do, game boy.

I followed every step.

And yet here we are

[glass merlin]

It just worked for me did you delete the old versions of joyplay and start from scratch?

[somber gate]

Yes

I did it all from scratch

[grave echo]

Hey, this might have been asked before but in my searching I couldn't find it: It seems like the key binding for A isn't working no matter what I set it to: Is there a known workaround for this?

[somber gate]

To ensure it wouldn't fuck up

[hot flicker]

Might just be a phone thing then. I have no idea. There are hundreds of different phones out there for android. My only guess is you put it on a SD card

[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

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

[somber gate]

Nope. I don't even use my SD card.

So there's no hope. Got it.

[hot flicker]

Then I have no idea. I'm sorry. That error doesn't give any information

[somber gate]

I asked on reddit before and someone said SOMEONE here has a file to fix it potentially

But do I get it

Hahahaah

NO*

Because why would i

Why can't things go well for me right

[stoic sigil]

Supposedly the alt launcher might work, just be patient when it launches

[hot flicker]

Just the game isn't made for mobile at all. Im surprised it even works on mobile

[turbid terrace]

[grave echo]

Is there any chance the key-bindings aren't 1-1 with roms and I'm being dumb? Like, is A the button to click around on the overworld?

[somber gate]

What even is the alt launcher

[grave echo]

Because I can use the C key-binding to interact with objects just fine

[stoic sigil]

The keybindings are weird because they're from a 2005 RPG Maker XP engine. So no, A isn't your traditional A, it's best to ignore the titles

I personally gave up on trying to rebind anything, just learned the default ones

[grave echo]

That probably explains it, then: i'll try to learn what all the keybindings are first and then re-map them to a regular rom experience from there lol

thanks for the confirmation!

[stoic sigil]

An alt launcher

[somber gate]

Yes I tried it

It also failed

Same cause

Or uh.. effect

Or whatever

Meaning its useless.. they just can't make it easy. Hell I'd fucking accept a Linux port at best, and I fucking hate linux

But no the minorities that font have pcs csnt ever play it, and I'm making sprites for it!

What's the fucking point

[stoic sigil]

You done?

Again, the game is built on an almost 20-year-old engine and based on a long standing template made for that to save the trouble of creating all the complex systems and mechanics of Pokemon from scratch. IF already pushes the limits that sets and making ports is basically impossible with the tools at hand

[rancid kestrel]

environment sprites dont load for me only pokemon and characters. do I need to chose "download new sprites automatically" or how can I fix it? 😭

[stoic sigil]

Give the alt launcher a shot, but be patient when it loads

(not available on light)

[rancid kestrel]

I did and waited for 1.5 hours. unfortunately not working 😔

I do have full

[stoic sigil]

1.5 hours o.o

[rancid kestrel]

yeah just went to do some chores haha

[stoic sigil]

Sounds like it might be your hardware

[rancid kestrel]

I think it might be. it runs fine on my pc

only on my laptop its screwed

which is sad because I wanted to bring it to my brother to show him

any java or whatever things that are required?

[stoic sigil]

Either your CPU, your drive or both are too slow for it ig

[rancid kestrel]

ah well

[stoic sigil]

No prerequisites that I can think of

[rancid kestrel]

unlucky then. but thanks anyway 👍🏼

[stoic sigil]

You can try re-extracting the Graphics folder before losing all hope

May or may not have an effect

Also put the game folder into a location like the desktop or to the root of an SSD drive (if your laptop has SSD)

[kindred falcon]

Does anyone have a fix for this? It happens whenever I perform a soft reset and closes my game.

[rancid kestrel]

yeeah this I already did :( I try one mroe time re-extracting tho

[stoic sigil]

Maybe even re-download?

[rancid kestrel]

dont have enough time left😭

[stoic sigil]

This one's new to me 🤔 Try re-extracting the Graphics folder

[kindred falcon]

How exactly do I do that? Sorry, not super tech savvy 😅

[stoic sigil]

Open the game zip in 7-Zip or Winrar and just drag and drop to extract. For safety, I recommend dragging it somewhere other than the game folder first and then after extraction, move it into the game folder and overwrite

[kindred falcon]

Ok, I'll give that a shot. Thanks for the quick help!

[stoic sigil]

No worries, I'm here way too much for my own good!

[formal slate]

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

[stoic sigil]

This is a bug with the light version in the autogen sprite download pathing. The simplest fix is to switch to the full version, but you can also get just the folder Graphics\Battlers from the full zip

[formal slate]

Suamppa, I like you

[cold frost]

I am currently running on a mac through wineskin and when I change the window size either manually or through settings it goes to a black screen but the game still runs in the background.

[turbid terrace]

Hey @cold frost! 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]

I can't help with mac stuff, but try to search around with the search bar to the top right

[random yoke]

Hi, I’m trying out the randomizer (have abt 2 hours in the game on a non-randomized file) and this popped up? I’m playing on Windows on my laptop and I’m using the light version if that helps.

[stoic sigil]

Try different randomizer settings, it currently bugs out with too much randomization

[random yoke]

Okay, thank you. Would the issue be selecting custom sprites for the randomized wild/starter Pokémon?

[stoic sigil]

Nothing in the error message gives me that impression

[gray bramble]

i dont know where to ask but if i download the legacy version does it already have custom sprites or do i have to manually get them?

[turbid terrace]

Hey @gray bramble! 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]

Each full version has the latest sprite pack at the time of the version release so a legacy version would be very outdated sprite-wise, so a sprite pack would be a good idea. I also don't know if all older versions have the custom sprites included or if that practice was adopted at some point

[neat umbra]

My game keeps crashing everytime I try to initiate this battle, can anyone help me?

[atomic snow]

I was looking for the code to get the Magic Boots in randomized mode

[gray bramble]

okay, thanks for the help

[stoic sigil]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3B1qgEBcSk

[gray bramble]

Also can the game be put on a modded 3ds via a cia file or would it break?

[atomic snow]

Thank you!

[stoic sigil]

Can't see how it would work

[gray bramble]

Okay, just wondering as some fan games break with it

Thanks for all the help

[stoic sigil]

If I recall correctly, the best fix is to unrandomize trainers for the fight and then you can shuffle again

[stoic sigil]

Yeah this isn't a rom hack

[neat umbra]

Im not playing on random

[gusty patrol]

how do i stop my game from getting freeze spikes every time i open pokemon menu

[stoic sigil]

Oh 🤔 Maybe try re-extracting the Data folder, something in there might be corrupted

[stoic sigil]

I think we went over this yesterday but if the alt launcher isn't working then it's likely just your hardware and can't be helped without upgrades

[gusty patrol]

gonna start a new game since i just finished my first run how do i turn on hard mode

[stoic sigil]

It asks all those things when you start a new save

[gusty patrol]

oh ok, also whats better classic or modern

[stoic sigil]

Depends on your preference. Classic is closer to FireRed/LeafGreen with some newer gen mons sprinkled in, modern mode is arguably more difficult and has more variation right from the start

[gusty patrol]

then ill do modern thx

[neat umbra]

It worked, thank you

[gusty patrol]

what does it mean by use regular starters?

if i hit no what happens

[stoic sigil]

I'm not sure but my understanding is it can have other gen starters too, regular means gen 1

[gusty patrol]

sounds fun

how do i have multiple save files

[cold frost]

It seems one other person had the issue in 2019 but I was wondering if there was someone else I could ask who is more knowledgeable about macs

[random yoke]

Issue was the custom sprite selection for me, just mentioning in case it helps with anything lol. Same randomizer options just didn't pick custom sprites for the randomized Pokémon and it worked. I did a few diff tests (only randomizing Pokémon- everything on except for static encounters- and gym trainers) and the error message didn't appear

[stoic sigil]

If you're playing on version 5.1 or newer, there are multiple save slots you can save to

[gusty patrol]

how do i see my version

[stoic sigil]

You'll have to wait for someone else to come active on here or ask around

[stoic sigil]

Interesting, thanks for sharing

[stoic sigil]

On the start-up screen with the randomly fusing pokemon, the version number is at the bottom of the screen

[gusty patrol]

5.0.36 how do i update it

[stoic sigil]

Ah, go to #downloads and to the start of the first message. Pick one of the mirrors and you should be good with the patch version of the download

[gusty patrol]

so just download this then what?

[stoic sigil]

Read the _DOWNLOAD_INSTRUCTIONS.txt file, there's a "How to patch" section

[long ember]

Ok so not sure if this has been asked lately or not, but I am new. If I am playing the lite version, is there a need for me to download the custom sprites pack manually? Or are the "sprites to be downloaded" the custom ones as well?

[long ember]

Nevermind, just saw in the options that it downloads custom sprites lol im dumb

[gusty patrol]

so i just move this

[stoic sigil]

Yeah it tries for a local one first, then a custom sprite download and lastly an autogen download (which is bugged rn)

[gusty patrol]

in here?

[stoic sigil]

Yes, it then overwrites to patch

There's one extra step to do to hopefully prevent a crash

[indigo widget]

My game keeps crashing when I enable custom sprites, any ideas on how to fix that?

[stoic sigil]

After patching, go to Savefile in the game folder. If there's a file called Game.rxdata, make a backup copy of it somewhere else and then rename the original File A.rxdata

[stoic sigil]

In the randomizer?

[indigo widget]

Yes @stoic sigil

[wintry frost]

I keep getting this error whenever I try to do this battle. Random npc trainers are off but gym trainers are on

[stoic sigil]

It seems to be bugged rn, just don't enable the custom sprite requirement (custom sprites will still appear, it just means a custom sprite isn't required)

[indigo widget]

Hmmm I haven't seen any custom sprites though, I can tell these are the default sprites

[stoic sigil]

Try unrandomizing gym trainers as well for the fight, you can reshuffle them after

[stoic sigil]

Have you tested if the sprites match to what the bot gives in #ask-a-bot with the command "showsprite [pokemon1] [pokemon2]"?

Or the fusion calculator

[wintry frost]

Hmm same error occurs

[indigo widget]

Oh I haven't let me try that first

Thank you

[viral void]

i have this problem and i cant so anything

[stoic sigil]

Unrandomize everything, save the game, close the game, re-extract the Data folder and then reshuffle (maybe even do the giovanni fight before reshuffling)

[stoic sigil]

RGSS script stuck

[turbid terrace]

Hey @stoic sigil! Are you having trouble starting the game? If you are launching v5, and your screen is stuck on black at startup, don't worry, it's normal. Leave the game running for a few minutes and it will work eventually.

Do not click on the window during this, otherwise you'll get the error below and the game will close.

[stoic sigil]

Ah that was just startup

[bleak fable]

Does anyone know how to fix the keybinds for a ps5 controller

[stoic sigil]

Try the alt launcher (takes a while to start, but it preloads everything)

[viral void]

ok thx

[lusty cave]

Can anyone tell me what this means? It happens anytime I battle and crashes the game :[

[civic trail]

Can you recommend one ?

[stoic sigil]

Just found out sometime after that that it's apparently just the custom sprites option that crashes

[bleak fable]

So is that a no?

[stoic sigil]

Some people report being able to rebind controllers with the alt launcher, but I can't confirm

[bleak fable]

Ok thx

[indigo widget]

@stoic sigil I checked the bot command and the sprites look different from the ones I see in the game

[bleak fable]

My alt launcher won’t run

[stoic sigil]

Be patient with it, it takes a while to load

[bleak fable]

Oh ok

[stoic sigil]

It literally loads everything at once

[bleak fable]

I see

[stoic sigil]

Have you installed a sprite pack?

[indigo widget]

I think so? Is that Custom Battlers the folder?

[stoic sigil]

Can you send a screenshot of Graphics\CustomBattlers\ contents?

[viral void]

the alt launcher crashes too

[indigo widget]

Is this what you mean @stoic sigil ?

[stoic sigil]

Try moving the files in Savefile out of the folder

[stoic sigil]

Yeah. Can you check if there's a folder called indexed in there too?

Oh wait I think I saw this one before, it's a mac thing because apple thinks it's okay to clear the old folder when merging two

[indigo widget]

There is no indexed folder

[stoic sigil]

You'll have to get the indexed folder from the game zip and place it in there

[indigo widget]

Inside CustomBattlers?

[stoic sigil]

Yeah, it'll end up next to the alts folder

Usually you can extract individual folders from zips by just dragging and dropping

[viral void]

copy the files in savefiles in the game directory?

[stoic sigil]

Preferably not the game directory, just into some backup folder somewhere for safekeeping

[viral void]

but moving these files will restart my progres

[stoic sigil]

Which is why you're not deleting them

We just need to see if they're the issue

[indigo widget]

@stoic sigil is there a way you can PM me the folder because I can't find it

[viral void]

aaa ok ok

[stoic sigil]

Should be just under Graphics\CustomBattlers\ in the zip

[indigo widget]

Do I need to redownload the zip?

[stoic sigil]

Yeah, redownload infinitefusion_5.1.2.4-full.zip if it's really not there

[gusty patrol]

i opened up the game after renaming the file this is new, is tha tfine?

[stoic sigil]

Yeah, the loading screen was updated in the latest patch

[gusty patrol]

oh ok that scared me, also it went back to black screen

[turbid terrace]

Hey @gusty patrol! 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.

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/308392115338084360/994274889055875142/Capture.PNG

[stoic sigil]

Be patient, like the bot said

[gusty patrol]

this came up after the intro cutscene

how to fix, after hitting ok it closed the game

[indigo widget]

Can you point me in the right direction? @stoic sigil

[viral void]

Now what do I have to do, start from 0?

[indigo widget]

You can spam the enter key prior to the intro scene (when the screen is black) and it should bypass that

[stoic sigil]

It's missing a sprite, you should probably try a fresh install (your saves will be fine) with infinitefusion_5.1.2.4-full.zip rather than the patch. Going so many versions up with the patch was a bit optimistic but I hoped it would work cause it was 5.0

[gusty patrol]

spamming enter got me past

[stoic sigil]

In CustomBattlers, the first folder under Graphics there

[gusty patrol]

however i lost my save file

[stoic sigil]

Even though it's in the savefile location and named File A.rxdata?

[stoic sigil]

Show me the files you moved from the save location

[gusty patrol]

is everything there right?

[stoic sigil]

Not just A.rxdata, File A.rxdata, like this

[gusty patrol]

oh

also is it supposed to have 2 game launchers and 2 of the x64 things

[indigo widget]

Yeah it's not in there @stoic sigil there's only one folder called alts

[stoic sigil]

Looks like the save just isn't compatible with the current version of the game. You can get an older version to try it if you don't want to start from 0. If you really wanna push it, get an older version (no need to delete the new one, just put the old one in a different folder), put the save back in and try to save in a place that likely hasn't been altered between versions. But there are still no guarantees of compatibility

[stoic sigil]

Are you looking at the game zip you downloaded or the game files?

[indigo widget]

Well the unzipped file

[stoic sigil]

It's a bit different, but that's because you used the patch. You can install fresh if you want to be safe, and I would recommend it

[gusty patrol]

ill do that also is that supposed to be like that

so after downloading the full what do i do

[stoic sigil]

So you downloaded it, unzipped and still no indexed?

[stoic sigil]

If you mean the name, it's likely a result of the save "conversion"

[gusty patrol]

once the full one finishes downloading do i move anything to it or delete anything?

[stoic sigil]

Extract it into a folder like usual (not the same one you currently have). You can delete the old save files if you want

[gusty patrol]

can i transfer my save to it?

[viral void]

If I start from 0, will it give any error?

[stoic sigil]

Saves are in a separate location, you can safely delete and move the game files

[stoic sigil]

It shouldn't, if it didn't after removing the saves

[gusty patrol]

so after i finish extracting just delete the previous folder right?

[stoic sigil]

You can delete the old one anytime

Or you can keep it

Just don't mix the new one with it

[indigo widget]

Ok I found it, and added it

Anything else?

[gusty patrol]

ok, also do i need to redownload the march sprite pack or does the full come with it already

[stoic sigil]

Good. If you did it correctly, you should now get the import prompt for the custom sprites on launch

[stoic sigil]

Full comes with the packs up to January, so I recommend just getting 1-88 for simplicity

[wintry frost]

@stoic sigil Thanks for the help earlier! I was able to get past the error and the randomized modern mode works too

[stoic sigil]

What ended up working? For future reference

[wintry frost]

Turning all options off and re-extracting the data folder

[stoic sigil]

Sry for the wait, had to try to look into this one while also helping others. It's a bit mysterious, but maybe try unshuffling everything, saving the game, then re-extracting the Data folder from the game zip, then loading your save and reshuffling. Feels like there's something wrong in your scripts, but could also be some very specific randomizer bug

[stoic sigil]

Alright, thank you

[gusty patrol]

so deleting this folder wont delete my saves right/

[stoic sigil]

No, they're safe in Appdata

The Savefile is just a link (like a shortcut)

[lusty cave]

Thank you very much!!! I'll give this a shot later😎

[stoic sigil]

Let me know if it works!

[indigo widget]

I added the file and enabled custom sprites and now I get this.

[stoic sigil]

Did it say anything about importing sprites on launch?

[stoic sigil]

Also, since you have the full version, disable sprite downloads from the options, especially on mac cause it can act up like it does now (the crash seems to originate from downloading for some reason)

[indigo widget]

Yes and I said yes to allow it to connect to the Internet

Actually let me confirm what I see when launching

[stoic sigil]

Yeah, disable the downloads first and try again. If you're using the full version (non-light), you're better off having it off, especially on mac

[gusty patrol]

just finished extracting the full, is everything there correct

[stoic sigil]

It probably won't prompt again if you already allowed everything

[stoic sigil]

Looks good

[gusty patrol]

now for the march pack

[indigo widget]

This is what I see on launch

[stoic sigil]

Oh joy

I guess the move didn't go so well after all

At his point I'd just delete the game files and start fresh with a fresh extraction, making sure the indexed folder gets extracted as well. Then, when applying the 1-88 sprite pack (on Mac), I'd extract the pack separately, open the folder and copy the actual files in the pack's CustomBattlers into the game's CustomBattlers instead of copying the folder into the game's Graphics folder, which seems to make indexed disappear on Mac

[indigo widget]

Is there a way I can maintain my save file?

[stoic sigil]

It's separate from the game files, they'll remain

[indigo widget]

Ok I'll have to do it a later time then if that's the case but thank you

[stoic sigil]

Hope you can get it working

[stoic sigil]

Note that the full pack is the drive link, not the attachment at the end of the message

[gusty patrol]

i know im moving it into graphics atm

should i rename the folder to just be infinitefusion or should i leave it alone

[stoic sigil]

Name it whatever you want, infinitefusion is good

[gusty patrol]

replace it?

[stoic sigil]

Yeah

[gusty patrol]

i have to wait now right?

[stoic sigil]

A bit

[gusty patrol]

that was quick

also the startup time took like 30 seconds instead of the usual 5 minutes

[stoic sigil]

That's a good start

[gusty patrol]

whats the new speed up button space isnt working anymore

[stoic sigil]

Q

[gusty patrol]

i pressed f12 to test out softreset since it never worked before and this came up

[stoic sigil]

Don't press it

[gusty patrol]

ok

thats not fair blue crit me turn 1

last thing how do i fix the space in front of my name

[stoic sigil]

Probably can't, I don't think you can rename the player once the save is created

[gusty patrol]

i didnt add a space at the start though

if anything i can just try making a new file since i just started this one

[stoic sigil]

If you're gonna start fresh, close the game, got to Savefile and move everything there to some backup location, in case they're messing with it

[gusty patrol]

ok its normal now

started a new game the exact smae way and the name doesnt have a space now no idea why it did before

[stoic sigil]

Probably the old save or something

[gusty patrol]

maybe cuz i made that one from the patch instead of full

[stoic sigil]

Exactly

[gusty patrol]

ok so before when i finished a battle it went back to moving right away, now after i beat a wild azurill it took like 20 seconds to go back to moving

this is something i need to fix, i dont want to have to wait 20 seconds after running from a wild pokemon

any ideas on how to fix it?

maybe it has something to do with that error i get when i press f12

[stoic sigil]

No, that has happened to me too, the function just crashes and should be blocked.

[stoic sigil]

Try the alt launcher, but be patient when it launches

It will preload everything to reduce loading times

[formal violet]

just downlosded it on my laptop instead of my computer and this happend

[gusty patrol]

ok i dont get the long wait anymore after battles but for some reason speed up changed back to space from q

[stoic sigil]

Game folder should look something like this (without Backup folder). Something has gone wrong with extraction. Don't use the Windows built-in extractor, use 7-Zip or Winrar

[gusty patrol]

last test, lets see what f12 does

crash

[formal violet]

whats free

[stoic sigil]

Both, 7-Zip fully

[stoic sigil]

Again, F12 doesn't work, don't use it

[gusty patrol]

so with alt launcher im back to the 2-5 minute startup but it doesnt take 20 seconds to finish an encounter good trade imo

[stoic sigil]

Yeah alt seems to use different keybinding system, which is why some people can rebind controllers with it but not the main exe

[velvet folio]

Wild question, but why does my game keep randomly increasing the tick speed?

[gusty patrol]

i fused my shinx with a huge power azurill but its giving me thick fat do you know why?

[rough idol]

Are you pressing Q by any chance

[gusty patrol]

so when i fuse for normal electric i dont get huge power but when i fuse for electric fairy i get it, im so confused

[velvet folio]

Perhaps?

I'll check if that's the issue

I guess tickspeed increase is for egg grinding, ye?

[velvet folio]

Okay, I can't seem to do long grass encounters anymore?

[near cape]

Okay so updated to the newest version yesterday with no issues, today tho, everytime a non custom sprite comes up the game locks up and has crashed me to desktop 2 out of 3 times.

[sly widget]

I just installed the game and when I launched it I got this error pop up and when I hit ok is closed the game

[formal violet]

what should I do with this

[lusty cave]

It did not work :[

[proper hawk]

hello i got a problem, my game keeps crashing when i fight against the first trainer in the rock gym, it didnt save my file too so i have to start over...

[rough radish]

Is anyone else having this error? Or is able to help? I've tried reddit, but only post only redirects to discord
It happens on the loading screen at the beginning of the fused battle
I'm on android btw

[foggy solstice]

Hm I seem to be having an issue playing another save file on another computer. Is that possible? I thought itd be as easy as just download the save file and drop it into the folder, but the game on this pc isnt recognizing the savefile. Is this able to be done or for some reason it isnt??

[visual nimbus]

how can i reduce loading time

[tame hound]

hello

i feel like i dont have the right version bcz i see ppl with some turwig start and i only had to choose gen 1 pokes

[visual nimbus]

after a battle it take bit or enter new building

[torpid inlet]

Hey guys if i want to open the game this appears. When i click ok the game closes. Anything i can do?

[gusty patrol]

when i pick fight how do i go back to pick something else

looking at the controls whats the difference between return and escape

[wide veldt]

I had that happen, fixed it by talking to the guy in the back of the upper floor on poke centers and asking him to fix my game

[remote forge]

How would someone go about setting bindings for a Pro controller in this? Trying to assign any input on the controller results in the binding automatically setting off of the control stick deadzones (or rarely the triggers, despite the Switch Procon's triggers being digital)

[cold frost]

I am currently running on a mac through wineskin and when I change the window size either manually or through settings it goes to a black screen but the game still runs in the background.

[turbid terrace]

Hey @cold frost! 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.

[gusty patrol]

Someone help me please, for some reason in battle after i select fight, i cant go back forcing me to choose a move

[spare prawn]

still getting this pop up whenever i try to challenge the pewter city gym. im doing a randomizer run if that means anything

[wide veldt]

It's a different key bind. On my controller it's x instead of b for example. F1 should let you open up the key binds

[gusty patrol]

esc usually works but now it doesnt

[hot flicker]

your save is corrupted

[hot flicker]

yeah you need to turn off download sprites in the options menu

[torpid inlet]

Anything i can do?

[hot flicker]

Delete it D:

[torpid inlet]

F

[hot flicker]

Make sure you have enough hard drive space on your main drive

[uneven pewter]

script 001_pokemon.rb'line 1144: NoMethodError Occured
undefined method [] for nil:NilClass

[hot flicker]

Clear the save folder. Link called Savefile can be found in the game folder. Do not try to migrate your older save file the the migrate_older_savefile_to_5_0.bat in 5.1, it was for 5.0 specifically.

[torpid inlet]

Are there back up save files in this game?

[hot flicker]

No. Unless you did that yourself

Like you saved in another slot

[polar hedge]

How do you do the downloads without having to pay for the mega subscription? I can't download the game or anything without paying for it first

[turbid terrace]

Hey @polar hedge! 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!

[hot flicker]

You weren't able to download any of it?

Usually its free and then after 5 gigs you pay

[polar hedge]

none of it no

I tried to download just the base zip by itself and its behind a paywall

[hot flicker]

Must be your country or IP then

[polar hedge]

so im gonna need a VPN to install?

[hot flicker]

Well download

[polar hedge]

Well that's unfortunate
