[quasi abyss]

yes

[pseudo kraken]

i dont know if this is related to the srpite thing, but i just quit the game and now when i start it to select my game files it just doesnt load

[clever surge]

I thought it mightve been a onedrive error. but it wasn't

[quasi abyss]

onedrive, windows' virus

[cold gate]

ok so problem i just downloaded the game it's loading extremely slowly, and i want to download the sprites and just run with those because i'm not patient enough for my internet is there a guide for the offline version cause i can't seem to find it

[clever surge]

I don't think so.

[zinc shale]

the sprites are not downloading currently because the repository is "offline", so that should not be the issue you are having

[cold gate]

that's good to know then question number 2 how do i upload the sprites i have then?

[spring plover]

this is false, almost all of my sprites are still question marks, its been like this for MONTHS now

[quasi abyss]

if your sprites have been showing as question marks for months, thats not this issue

[clever surge]

the only "?" sprites that I have are from Pokemon I run into before they are fused.

[wind creek]

lil update, ive tried both wine and whisky twice and neither are working unfortunately, wine gives me this nerror message Could not find dependent assembly L"Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls" (6.0.0.0) and whisky just doesnt open at all.

[spring plover]

then what do i do, its been like this since the shiny pokemon update

was there an update i missed or smth

thank you oak love you oak

[spring plover]

still need my question awnsered

[manic gale]

If I am getting ? For base Pokemon sprites, how do I fix it? Just downloaded and put the custom sprites in the proper folder

[quasi abyss]

do you play with download data on?

[spring plover]

yea

[zinc shale]

bad timing, its going to be hard to get your bug fixed until this whole issue is resolved, but might be that you always had the download data off or something

[agile oracle]

Will there be a pin / announcement somewhere once a fix is found? This channel is kind of hard to follow now t

[manic gale]

E.g. Espeon and Farfetch’d base sprites do not appear, but the fusions do

[rigid silo]

there will be

[spring plover]

i have it on

[rigid silo]

if not from the dev themself, then I will make one

[spring plover]

or alternativley, it was fixed earlier, i didn't notice, and i just so happen to report it when a similar bug is happening

[rigid silo]

The problem and cause are known, dev is notified and the fix is being worked on.

[quasi abyss]

im just twiddling my thumbs

is there a manual sprite download like there was in the past

Yo I took up hand sewing to fix and make some clother better looking.
that shit is too hard, I am not getting into knitting

[modern dock]

alrighty I got a few hours free I will see what I can sus out about the sprites not appearing

[late bane]

Did you follow our android guide

[wild sparrow]

Quick question, has been a few hours now, has the sprite problem been fixed?

[quasi abyss]

no

[wild sparrow]

ok, thanks

[rigid silo]

we know what is happening exactly.
we know the fix.
it simply is being implemented.

[modern dock]

nopes

[idle venture]

You're gonna laugh but this happened to someone earlier today lol

[quasi abyss]

to add on: please dont do bug testing for us 😩 its what porygons and tech managers are for

[waxen dragon]

So the update man doesn't work?

[modern dock]

oh what was the issue im kinda curious

[zinc shale]

yes, its not hard to do what you are asking for, you can even create your own repo and fix it (i did), but the average user cant move some pngs into a folder without bricking their installation, but if you know a bit about essentials you will get it without help

[zinc shale]

was here hahaha i was referencing it

[low ferry]

No bro

[rigid silo]

in short:
some syncs were done, adresses changed without knowledge, it started pulling empty sheets because it wasnt returning any, replacing "old" but correct sheets with nothing.

new syncs are being done, takes a while, will be fixed

[spring plover]

i kind of stopped playing because of the previous sprite issue when the shiny update came out, i think that was resolved, i didn't know about it, and i reported the bug when a similar one was happening

[nimble rivet]

you're awesome ymirbot

[spring plover]

i am so unlucky

[quasi abyss]

OH LOOK

THERE IT IS

[low ferry]

Yup

[quasi abyss]

if thats not i nthe android guide it shouuuld beee

[rigid silo]

will add on, that work is being done by the dev
i mainly just did the troubleshooting today

[modern dock]

that makes so much sense, ive seen something similar before with textures. albeit not like this excatly

[quasi abyss]

oh it is, i just thought i was looking at a different thing

[zinc shale]

this is something i dont understand though, because the code clearly only overrides things if it receives a 200, and you only get a 200 from the host, the endpoint with the specific sprites always returns 404, probably there is a missing check that should be there in the httpcalls file

[nimble rivet]

we appriciate the work you guys are doing

[quasi abyss]

lol, lmao even

[low ferry]

Thanks

[zinc shale]

by this i mean i understand why no new pokemon get downloaded, but it doesnt make sense that overrides already existing sheets

[rigid silo]

I havent been able to recreate the overwriting bit.
manually populated all the sheets, then let the auto-download do its thing for a while, wasnt getting any issues.

but we've had multiple people ensure us they didnt use the update file and they lost sprites.
(using the update file would nuke it all)

[modern dock]

how do you auto download from within the game again?

[turbid terrace]

Hey @modern dock! You can download the game from: [#downloads](#downloads message)

If you need a guide, they are located: [HERE](#tech-support message)

[sage crescent]

Help
when i try to download the game from mediafire, it says mediafire took too long to respond

[rigid silo]

the game asks you and its "download data" in the options

[modern dock]

thanks yan but thats not what im looking for lol oh hes a bot lol

[modern dock]

oh so it will just do so automatically there is no manual "gimme all data" button

[zinc shale]

im 99.9% sure nobody lost sprites, just people not understanding pidgey appears with sprite because it was already in the sheet but kakuna is a ? because today its the first same they saw kakuna, i still have the original folder that i downloaded from 2 days ago and the only base pokemon that have sprite are those that were already seen before, new ones are ?

but i guess it doesnt hurt to check

[spring plover]

love how this is being drowned out because of all the people clueless to the bug

typical non tech speaking about things he doesnt know lmao, this is a cloudflare sync issue

how do i reverse this update my game binging plans have been completely ruined

[turbid terrace]

Hey @olive path!

How to Update to the Latest Version (Windows)

• If you're on or above 6.6.0 double click INSTALL_OR_UPDATE.bat to update.
• If you're below 6.6.0 you must either reinstall in a NEW folder (since the updater won't work due to bugs) or use the New Launcher to update.
• Reinstalling doesn’t remove or require you to move any Save Files.
• If playing on a Randomized save, make sure to reshuffle after updating. Use ?tag reshuffle if you need help.

For Non-Windows devices (Android, Mac, Steamdeck, Linux, Chromebook): Check our extended guides post

[spring plover]

you're not tech as well, you cannot be talking, it says your new

i dont care if you have a short temper. i do too. but seriously, just dont be rude to people that are looking for help

Maybe it's time to do something else for the time being?

what kind of dried fruit yall prefer

[olive path]

whst are you guys doing to fix this problem

[zinc shale]

their afternoon is ruined and this chat is handling it

[modern dock]

[shut nacelle]

At this point, just open a second temporary tech support channel, send the sprite copypasta and lock the channel

the fix is being pushed, but it takes a while

[modern dock]

like me im orange

not red

[spring plover]

[rigid silo]

not even an update probably
it will just magically start working again

its sort of a

[spring plover]

sorry for being rude everyone, i'm not having a great morning rn

[rare arrow]

Ok cool thank you will be on the lookout

[quasi abyss]

then honestly? stop trying to help

[olive path]

wish i could thanos snap a fix

[zinc shale]

you wont need to update anything unless some other root of the problem is found, this should be solved once cloudflare recovers the host

[quasi abyss]

if you cant keep your cool, dont be here

[nimble rivet]

thats not helping

[scarlet venture]

Take a break, Go for a walk, And just, Breathe

[idle venture]

If we imported all of the sprites, should we reinstall the game after the fix came out? Or is there a way to reset all sprites through some other way?

[quasi abyss]

the aggression isnt helping us. we're trying to keep this chat clean and calm and yelling at someone is going to do the opposite effect

[frozen grove]

Better yet, everyone please move on.

[scarlet venture]

Don't do anything with the sprites as is.

[nimble rivet]

fighting fire with fire doesnt help, we just need a breather

no i can, i am kinda just dramaticizing my annoyance, is that normal to do online or am i dumb, idk why i'm being a jerk honestly

alright i'm throwin up the disclaimer again

If you are not here with an active issue, please leave -- tech has this situation handled + we don't need extra support.

[idle venture]

I did the import "fix" a couple of hours ago, so it's a bit late :'3 just asking for later on

[modern dock]

we all do but the fix will probably be here within a month or two

give it time

[rare arrow]

hey love the game cant imagine the work it takes to this stuff for free so I'll just be on the lookout thanks for working on the game its the most fun fan game ive played

[quasi abyss]

the fix is being rolled out. it should be here by the end of today

there's nothing else to say but, yknow, have patience. syncing stuff, which is what the fix is on the dev's end, takes a bit

there's a lot to sync

[nimble rivet]

whcih timezone are you? just so i know when the end of the day is for me

ngl true 😩

i need pie

[spring plover]

imma do that brb

[dire agate]

don't wanna bother anyone because I know that the sprite issue is already known, but I was just wondering, are they imported online? asking because I would be fine with just importing them myself

like, into the files manually

[spring plover]

Original Apple Pie
2 cups flour
1 tsp salt
4-5 tbsp. cold water
⅔ cups plus 2 tbsp. vegetable shortening

Stir flour and salt together. Cut in shortening with pastry blender until it is pea size. Add water one tbsp. at a time tossing gently until flour is moist and you can gather the dough easily in your hand. Flatten it slightly. Divide the dough in half. Dip once on each side in flour. Roll it out to fit a 9" pie tin. Set aside and prepare filling.

Stir together ¾ cup sugar, 2 tbsp. flour and one tsp. cinnamon and toss with 8 sliced tart apples. (Add 2 tsp. lemon only if apples are not tart). Drizzle 2 tbsp. melted butter over pan to seal the edges. Flute if you like. A brushing of two egg whites plus one tbsp. water in blender will give it a nice golden color. Bake 375 degrees one hour or until apples tested with a small sharp knife are fully cooked. (Knife should feel no resistance).

[rigid silo]

no wont work as you expect

[scarlet venture]

They're downloaded from a Repo, And given correct attribution in the game. Doing it manually currently doesn't solve the issue where it overrides with 'empty' sprites

[dire agate]

damn, alright thanks for the answer

[quasi abyss]

repo's just angry at frog for syncing things

Repo got mad it didn't get fed enough Apple Pie

[modern dock]

guyz i think there may perhaps maybe be an issue idk tho im unsure

[zinc shale]

it will not fix the issue because the "manual imported" sprites have their own category, so basically even if you imported them any new pokemon you encounter will be a "?" and only after you beat/capture it you will be able to go into the pokedex to change the sprite by one you imported

basically just wait

the amount of communities with a "we don't read" joke just implies people can't read

[quasi abyss]

illiteracy is at an all time low for a reason

pokemon fans dont read

[misty karma]

It's true, can't tell you how many times the alien in Alien: isolation got me, cause i didn't see the drooling vent lol

[modern dock]

JoJo is that you?

[zinc shale]

you mean literacy is at an all time low, or illiteracy is at an all time high

which is funny tbh XD

[quasi abyss]

i seem to have proven my point

funny thing is im a writer

[zinc shale]

hahahaha being self conscious places you above 80%, be proud

[tidal stag]

you let it work overtime

[modern dock]

JJBA refrences in tech chat

[spring plover]

im bored and i'm scrolling through like 5 channels like i'm playing fnaf

[modern dock]

is clodsire in the game? the new form?

just checking

[spring plover]

nope

[modern dock]

damn, sade

[wintry cloud]

no gen 8 or 9

[upbeat sage]

No mons past gen 7 will be in

[modern dock]

why? workload?

[upbeat sage]

The version of essentials we use only goes up to gen 7

[astral peak]

nah, they're too ugly to make the cut

[rigid silo]

based on PE-18, doesnt support gen 8 out of the box

[upbeat sage]

everything else requires manually coding abilities and moves which busts the game

[rigid silo]

and last attempt at adding them nuked the game

We are aware of the issues surrounding sprites suddenly disappearing as of 28/07

[upbeat sage]

Only mon past gen 7 with no new moves or abilities is Thievul/Nickit

[tidal stag]

how dare

[upbeat sage]

So technically That line alone could be added

[tidal stag]

and if they updated it, it'd take so much time recoding the damn thing that it's just not worth the hassle

[astral peak]

(i'm not even thinking that, i love the new grass starter and some of 8g/9g designs with my whole heart)

[spring plover]

isnt the game already nuked?

[rigid silo]

https://tenor.com/view/northernlion-punch-nl-angry-fist-gif-4635037668567938897

-# yes

[scarlet venture]

Ironically, Gen7 was the last gen I played.

[zinc shale]

could also upgrade essentials but that is also a nightmare (been there)

[rigid silo]

saaame

[modern dock]

ok note to self googlin (PE-18 "Pokemon" -minecraft) Gives porn results.....

[rigid silo]

oh boy

pokemon essentials 18

[modern dock]

oh thanks that better lol

[spring plover]

its really funny that all of bug support is basically playing ripoff fnaf scrolling through every channel

[upbeat sage]

too much old code

would require major rewrites

[modern dock]

Honestly I would want to start fresh

if I did join I would gladly do that lol

[rigid silo]

welllll, do we have a surprise for you

PIF:Hoenn

(will still be on pokemon essentials 18 )

[tidal stag]

oh

[scarlet venture]

Is there a roadmap of what's planned, or is it just an agreed rough agreement internally?

[rigid silo]

#announcements has all the details

[upbeat sage]

#pif-hoenn-discussion

[modern dock]

that what I meant lol
make a new version of pe that is unique to this project that has infinite scaleability

so you can then add all the mons you want

[astral peak]

no roadmap, full random work is the only true way of coding things !

[modern dock]

very true

[zinc shale]

ive seen... and also there is a unique problem this fangame has, adding 100 new pokemon means adding 100k new combinations, and its exponential, meaning the next 100 would have an even larger combination

[astral peak]

Bonus point when u don't know why it's working

[rigid silo]

newer versions of pokemon essentials could likely support that.
and the dev has also given the go-ahead to people if they want to make spin-offs with newer base code.

-# probably still ask if you do start, but hes cool.

[modern dock]

and I would also be interested in adding regions. like sinoh and unova to the same game as joto and hoen

[full garnet]

Infinite scalability in coding is a myth

[rigid silo]

PIF amalgam (i think it was called) - started at some point by people in the community with the goal of the full nat-dex

i think it died

[modern dock]

sounds like a good place to pick up the pices and continue from

[tidal stag]

eventually, it'll crumble under its own weight like a Jenga tower

[unborn rampart]

from a spriters perspective, the further into 3D gens the more designs that were never meant to fit on such a small canvas

[zinc shale]

you technically can already, the problem is gamefreak likes to add pokemon with intrincrate abilities, for example look up dondozo from the last generation, i dont know if its implemented in pokerogue (a project that doesnt use essentials and implements everything from scratch) but you can imagine its a pain to implement

[rigid silo]

and the stupid bird that shoots pikachu

[tidal stag]

especially since it requires a specific Pokémon species

[rigid silo]

lots of weird 1-off abilities now

[scarlet venture]

Wishiwashi. The... Dullest design in the Franchise

[modern dock]

could do community polls to see if you can create an easier ability and different one than gamefreak did

but thats changing things...

well compromise exists for a reason

[astral peak]

I dream of an official pokemon game where u can do all regions, even Rhode

[scarlet venture]

Not gonna happen, Since IIRC, they cut a lot of mons out of the newer gens cause ''Bloat''

[modern dock]

this project is probably our best shot to making that happen potentially

[modern dock]

workload

[scarlet venture]

That aswell

We're at what, over 1000 Pokemons now ?

[rigid silo]

anyway, im back to playing Deadgame, uuuh i mean Deadlock.
im sure tech support will survive now the issue is identified

[zinc shale]

and pokemon essentials got taken down if im not mistaken, i dont know if maruno is still going at it but doing pokemon fan games can have serious consequences if nintendo wakes up in bad faith

[modern dock]

counterpoint, how much money did pokemon make last year?
yeah then they can afford to hire more people and make every pokemon and region no problem. they won't, but they can.

[misty karma]

1025 to be exact

[idle venture]

Like they did with uranium some time ago, huh?

[rigid silo]

it was discontinued indeed, then relaunched after some alleged oiler injected a ton of money behind the scenes.
then abandoned again AFAIK

[modern dock]

https://www.pokecommunity.com/threads/pokémon-essentials-version-18-1-28th-september-2020.439517/
I think... not???

[quasi abyss]

if you all are curiouis: if every pokemon is added to the game, it comes to 1,051,650 fusions. or just about

[idle venture]

That is. a lot

[quasi abyss]

look riiight above your message

[wintry cloud]

yea that is some rough timing

[modern dock]

yeah it's getting no updates

[misty karma]

gonna need a lot more than 40 boxes lol

[rigid silo]

and thats just 18, theres newer versions

[zinc shale]

its still an invaluable toolkit, pokemon has not changed that much since then

[rigid silo]

PE-21 is the newest I think

and thats when the whole idea was abandoned

[scarlet venture]

Does that include Self-Fusions, IE, 2 of the same Mons?

[zinc shale]

still fun seeing the shadow pokemon mechanic in every essentials fangame, dont know what maruno thought lol

[quasi abyss]

yep

[astral peak]

and a BIG repo to store all the custom sprites it will get

[modern dock]

what if the next mainline game had fusions wouldn't we look dumb lol

[scarlet venture]

Yeah, That's a lot

[rigid silo]

then the gamefreak space laser kills us

[quasi abyss]

this is the equation. the +1025 = self fusions

[scarlet venture]

They'll patent it first and then sue the team.

[zinc shale]

and ive seen the rythm you guys have with the sprites is absolute bonkers, i went to the sprite channel and was like, what the hell, awesome work

[tidal stag]

excluding stuff like reversed fusions, triple fusions, stuff like that?

[quasi abyss]

including reversed. excluding triple

[quasi abyss]

spriters are an effecient people

we are greedy

[zinc shale]

its simple combination, 1000*1000~

[modern dock]

yeah they would reach all 1051650 in like a few months

[zinc shale]

i dont know who decided the whole head/body mechanic, but you could have cut in half the total hahaha

[quasi abyss]

thats overestimating us 😩

[rigid silo]

it took 10 years to get 190.000

[quasi abyss]

blame the people at japeal

[modern dock]

and an unhealthy amount of caffeine

[tidal stag]

I doubt they'd ever have the interest in reaching the scale we'd have, funnily enough

[zinc shale]

repo still gives 404, going to rest for a bit, hope this gets sorted out

[rigid silo]

a dlc per 100 fusions, then they do it

[modern dock]

yeah they would stop at like 400 fusions and it would be only certian pokemon

if they even go that high

more like 8

[astral peak]

Pretty sure they'll do the db fusion method. Picking one trait from a character and every other trait from the main one

[oblique bronze]

I have a mac with ventura 13.3, could it play a version of infinite fusion? I saw some versions only allow 15 or higher

[modern dock]

I will say mr tech manager the sprites may not be working rn but at least the glitzer outfit looks cool

WHY DOS THE BIRB RAT SHOW UPPPP LOL

[rigid silo]

auto-gens do

so every fusion will show as an auto-gen if nothing else was picked before

[astral peak]

oh god, that pidtata is epic

[weary flare]

I am also getting it on unfused pokemon. On the reddit, its said it is a known issue as of today

[modern dock]

Hes just so menacing

[modern dock]

we know, jesus or whoever the fuck said it would be done today so thanks goes to them

[wild sparrow]

as far as I know the sprites are still appearing as missing but its being worked on to be fixed.

[modern dock]

im very bad with names

[fading ether]

It started like twelve hours ago

when i launched the game it asked me to update the sprites or something, to download sprites as i go? honestly not even sure but it works

Yeah… good for you…

well frog is working on the fix as we speak so have some patience

[still fulcrum]

ah nvm they dont work anyway

thats not really appropriate for a pokemon server

[slender pike]

well you can delete your comment

Pa-tien-ce?! What’s that?!

Is that a candy?

[slender pike]

yes

go eat about 20 candy bars and maybe when you come back it will be fixed

[weak coral]

i see some of the pokemons as white balls with a ? in it can smn help me fix it

[slender pike]

yes

you and everyone else snow

[oak escarp]

But do I have quit the game or I can stay in?

as i just said 30 seconds ago, frog is working on the fix right now

I'm guessing thats a known issue?

yes >.<

uh i just found a shiny kakuna

40 min into the game lmao

[idle venture]

Congrats!

[still fulcrum]

are rates boosted?

[slender pike]

no

[still fulcrum]

oh damn

[oak escarp]

I’ve replayed the game since 3 days ago and I’ve found 4 shiny in 3 days!

ya i just found my first shiny yesterday and ive been playing this game for 6 months

[oak escarp]

Rapidash, Staryu, Shellder and a Torkoal!

[still fulcrum]

[still fulcrum]

oh wow

so i got hella lucky then

[undone basalt]

its just that as a completely new player I cant know if a sprite disappeared since I didn't even see them yet lol

[idle venture]

Yeah I get that. I started playing today too

[fallen summit]

thats lovely, not a #tech-support issue though

[oak escarp]

@slender pike but seriously, should I leave the game or can I stay in?!

[verbal timber]

neither

[slender pike]

if you dont wanna play without sprites then you should close the game

[verbal timber]

play something else

[oak escarp]

The game has been successfully closed.

Now all I need to do is wait. Could anyone (in the developer team) do a @ everyone when the problem has been fixed?

[verbal timber]

they aren't going to ping everyone for something like that

[oak escarp]

Alright, sorry…

[pastel flare]

That answers my question, appreciate it.

For certain pokemon appearing blank.

[oak escarp]

It’s just, that I quit playing the game a year ago because of that same exact issue… and I wanted to give it a second shot because I really love this game…

[pastel flare]

Other question though, Cottonee is more or less refusing to acknowledge the sun stone for evolving, is this a known issue or just one on my end?

[upbeat sage]

post screenshot

[pastel flare]

I tried unfusing as well

Just to be certain

[gleaming fog]

That’s really strange

[scarlet venture]

Even when it levels while holding it?

Or, Is it holding an Everstone?

[pastel flare]

Oh you know what

Yep

I forgot I gave it the stone for the shroomish half. That's just be being an idiot.

Nevermind then, appreciate you checking me on that.

That one pops my pause menu open.

While the evolution is ongoing?

Not specifically then, but unless the buttons overlap their functions I'd be surprised that the menu button is also the back button.

I'll toy with it next time I evolve something manually I suppose

hello, I've noticed that after getting past Cerulean City a lot of base sprites (not fusions) are missing and are now question marks instead. I was reading around and it said there was an offline version of the game that would fix the problem (or if I could just install the full sprite pack again) but I'm still missing sprites even when I boot up the game and the sprites say that they've imported correctly. Any ideas how I can fix the question mark sprites?

I installed the game on my Steam Deck (from the subreddit download), everything went smoothly, but some sprites are question marks. In a battle vs my rival's fusion, its sprite was fine, but my charmander and a wild rattata were both ?'s. Any advice?

[rigid silo]

only click that, ignore any ads you might see.
if anything pops up when you press it, close that too. those are ads too.

if it is slow, nothing we can do about it, thats your internet and/or connection to mediafire.

[umbral hull]

alright I'm back from my long day of work, the custom sprites are in the imported folder.. which folder contains the base sprites now ? 😅

[rigid silo]

we will not be assisting in messing with sprites as of now.
as it will just confuse people and leave them with messy game files.

[umbral hull]

I can see 2 folders

[hushed reef]

alright I need some assistance

[umbral hull]

wait you can't leave me on a cliffhanger after I got helped earlier today 😭

can you please help me in dms instead?

[rigid silo]

no. A technical issue related to sprites on our end came up a couple hours ago.
it is being worked on.

[umbral hull]

helpful

[rigid silo]

I've warned you yesterday about your attitude as well.
I wont be nice today given the rush. FYI

[scarlet venture]

You need to understand that the issue is being worked on, and 'any' unofficial fix currently MAY break your game.

[umbral hull]

well sorry for asking for continuous help from earlier 2day

[clever surge]

I fixed the sprite issue

but Idk if it will work for other people.

[umbral hull]

don't exhaust yourself lmao

[stray prism]

look just know they're working on it VV

[sterile pivot]

⬆️

[umbral hull]

I knowww but I got some help today and i'm not finished yetr

I just want to finish what I started

mordrid helped me big time so

oh I tried too but it didn't work

[clever surge]

oof

[rigid silo]

and after that stuff broke.
no more help related to sprites because whatever is broken is broken on OUR end

[umbral hull]

right

[rigid silo]

nothing we can tell you that will fix it.
we have to fix it

[clever surge]

it was broken on my end too

[umbral hull]

it's the servers

so it's not you

[scarlet venture]

It's not the Game itself, IT's the Repo where the Sprites are stored that is having issues.

[rigid silo]

and still will be.
trust.

i kindly ask to not spread information about "fixes", as it will simply confuse people in here even more leading to broken or messy installs.
the issue will be fixed by us, users will likely not have to do anything for the fix.

[scarlet venture]

It's the Magical box that contains all the pretty pictures.

[rigid silo]

if it takes longer than 24h I personally will start a process of a temp fix which will mess with files.
but I will ensure it is written in a proper guide. not random messages without cohesion on a discord

the dev is working on it, he knows whats wrong, he knows how to fix it.
it just takes some time to fix

[scarlet venture]

Trust the Process.

[inner grail]

long day in tech support im guessing?

[rigid silo]

https://tenor.com/view/northernlion-bald-streamer-gif-8770625922949147190

not at all

[inner grail]

i'd be pulling my hair out

[rigid silo]

crazy thing is.
the only instructions now are "dont do anything and just chill for a couple of hours. we will fix it"

which is proving to be reeeeaaaally difficult

[scarlet venture]

Instructions unclear, Set house on fire.

[inner grail]

but everyone is a technical genius and can fix it themselves right ?

[unborn rampart]

chill out and people in this server doesn't go together

[scarlet venture]

People 'are' free to fix it themselves, But they're also free to suffer when they break the game

[rigid silo]

i had a good time playing other games

can recommend

[open briar]

So, I haven't played in ages and just updated from like 6.1.4 to current and it says custom sprites are downloading in thre background but is that just a 'just wait lol' or can I see the progress somewhere? running my old save and maaaaan none of my fusions have the proper sprites available lol

[scarlet venture]

I've been rimworlding while waiting

[umbral hull]

at least with the glitches I got clothes & a new hat

[rigid silo]

[rigid silo]

where? or did a mod already nuke it?

coolcool!
feel free to just @ moderator the whole role when you see stuff like that

goes for pretty much any severe rulebreak

[umbral hull]

talking about gambling, I opened the game again and this time all my pokémon display their sprites, funnily enough

[wintry cloud]

honestly I would've but seeing Mr.Beast suddenly appear confused me so badly lol

[umbral hull]

previously I only had mankey & the rockruff egg with sprites

[odd meadow]

i just updated my game with the installer/updater and im missing a good few fusion sprites and even some like regular kyogre. anyone have any ideas on whats going on?

[umbral hull]

servers are down

they are trying to fix it as quickly and as good as they can

they've been down for the past 18 hours

[odd meadow]

o word im perfectly fine to be patient i thought it was on my end

[umbral hull]

no problem

[odd meadow]

thanks

[umbral hull]

I just downloaded the game yesterday 😭

so

[hushed reef]

will there ever be official controller support added to this game?

[umbral hull]

I can play with my x360 controler

idk if that counts

[odd meadow]

ironically when i first downloaded this game it was when the github was down as well

[hushed reef]

my ps5 controller kind of works but some of the stuff doesnt

[open briar]

might need to do some wizardry to spoof it. I also have no issues on an xbox controller on pc

[regal geyser]

?tag controller

[pearl magnet]

You can press F1 (FN + F1 on laptops) to change your keybindings!

Be aware, controllers will be auto mapped to buttons depending on which controller you plug in.

If you want to remap buttons on controller, you need to use Steam since this game doesn't support it. How to use Steam: [Guide](#tech-support message)

[hushed reef]

good to know

[regal geyser]

Considering the game is a RPG Maker XP game, I'm not sure if native controller support is possible

[rigid silo]

xbox controllers kinda. especially older ones.
but yeah, steam is the magic way for controllers

[severe cradle]

Can anyone tell me if the sprite problem has been solved? They don't speak English, and I can't translate everything they say.

[umbral hull]

not yet

[rigid silo]

not yet.
developer is working on it right now.

[umbral hull]

the sprites from infinitefusiondex.com aren't hosted on the same server, right ?

[rigid silo]

nope

[umbral hull]

okay that's understandable

[zinc shale]

its working again

[rigid silo]

yaay guess the new sync is finished and server is responding

[zinc shale]

yup

[vagrant fossil]

oh the sprites are fixed?

[zinc shale]

yes, the endpoint is responding so it should work, im booting up the game

[rigid silo]

coolcool, gonna quickly run a test on a fresh install - see if that works in game too.
dont see why not if the server is giving responses

[scarlet venture]

If they are, Give it a few for them to verify

[zinc shale]

yup, confirmed

[balmy gorge]

seems like it is working yes; have no problem on start screen (and had just before)

[umbral hull]

great

[hardy idol]

i love that spite of vulpix. i use it for mine

[wicked harbor]

can confirm when I logged in new sprites confirmed as downloading

[crisp hedge]

I CAN SEE MY CHARIZAR AGAIN, YEAH.

Thaks you all, i love you guys

[plucky rapids]

Sprites are working for me as well!

Thank you all

[astral peak]

All hail the devs !

[zinc shale]

I added some loggers to the source:

and the exe also gets 200

so its gucci

[ornate portal]

If i delete and reinstall can I put the sprite downloading back on after importing them manually

[fallen summit]

https://tenor.com/view/hold-stonk-hold-wallace-hold-braveheart-stonks-gif-20142609

[rigid silo]

Sprite issue seems to be resolved

Thank you for your patience everyone

---

IF you messed with files regardless of us saying not to; REINSTALL YOUR GAME

[zinc shale]

you dont need to do anything, if you have any ? left it will gradually download itself

i will clean my install because i dont need a 1.9GB folder, i dont think i will ever have all 190k combinations in my game but if you havent done any shenanigans to your game you dont need to do anything

[wild sparrow]

So, I looked into my game. Some sprites are back but some are still missing. Those should appear with time while I play?

[rigid silo]

yipyip!

[wild sparrow]

ok

[cerulean blaze]

Thank you for fixing it for us tech team! Ide give you all cookies if i could!

[rigid silo]

I will grab a lollypop like a grown man should

[wicked harbor]

What kind? Used to love tootsie pops.

[sterile pivot]

Yay!! Thank you devs :D

[astral peak]

we'll even allow a lemonade

[cerulean blaze]

Just glad I got all my pretty sprites back yaaay!

[rigid silo]

chupa chups, nut sure if thats an NA thing too

[wicked harbor]

I've heard of them, haven't seen them in NA though

[cerulean blaze]

Now time to face giavani

[sterile pivot]

I’m getting this problem where my screen is just dark as the initial cutscene plays (when you first boot the game)

It’s the same sound effect over and over

Any tips?

[orchid anchor]

It seems to work 50/50.

[sterile pivot]

Nvm, fixed

Just had to click the power of my laptop on and off

[rigid silo]

could be hitting a cap, will check for monferno myself now

[zinc shale]

there is a limit, 15 sprites every 120 seconds

[orchid anchor]

Aaaah, okay okay.

[sterile pivot]

Thanks

Also, does anyone know how to delete a save file? (I just started playing this game today 😅)

[vernal jungle]

Try using VPN works for me

[sterile pivot]

Ok, thanks!

[sterile pivot]

Nvm, got it again

Sorry for all the questions

[lilac vigil]

If i have a mon without a sprite, will it fix itself over time?

[umbral hull]

what does this mean?

[zinc shale]

nothing important, it was for ymir and he understood

[umbral hull]

oh

[zinc shale]

basically the game works

yay

[umbral hull]

that's fun

[umbral hull]

amazing ima play tomorrow and let the sprites download themselves

[zinc shale]

(i had a lot of fun debugging this while everyone was going crazy, maybe too much fun)

[umbral hull]

as long as it doesn't break overnight..

[zinc shale]

they dont download themselves, they download while you play

[umbral hull]

yeah I meant that

[zinc shale]

15 new sprites ever 2 minutes is more than what you usually need with normal gameplay

[umbral hull]

you barely encounter 5 mons in 2 minutes

unless it's a fight

[zinc shale]

i mean that leaving the game afk will not download all the pokemon... they download when you encounter them, look for them in the pokedex, etc

[umbral hull]

but you never have 3 fights in a row that uses 15 different sprites in less than two minutes

[umbral hull]

ohhhh

legit

[paper shore]

Anyone elses’s customs just not turning to anything but the auto generated ones?

[wintry cloud]

you tried changing them in the summary?

[paper shore]

Yeah- my umberom mawile and hondge mawile (I got after the bug issue happened) doesn’t have their customs but the ones before do. Should I reinstall the game? Or just hit the update file?

[wintry cloud]

could try to just wait, I mean the fix just happened pretty recently

[glass perch]

So bottom line: Keep playing and the game will download/fix the missing sprites?

Do I need to have the game running and a save loaded to proc the download?

[paper shore]

Yeah that’s true- and really? I mean ig that’s a fair. I just turned it off thinking I needed to close it and hit the update stuff

[vestal wolf]

Is it fixed now?

[paper shore]

Seems like it

alrighty guess I’ll open my game and just let it sit

[rigid silo]

afking wont download sprites.
it requires active gameplay. Cant allow people to "play the system" of our caps

hosting data costs money ya know

[paper shore]

oh lol alrighty makes sense

[vestal wolf]

um it still just a bunch of question marks for me

Do i just have to run around and fight npc to fix it?

or did i need to update first?

[rustic sand]

So my friend trying play the game she downloaded it from this discord anf the main site and such but when she goes to run it, the game says something bout fake game then sends her to the discord then closes the game

Tho she got it from the legit link

[olive path]

i also need the answers

[wintry cloud]

is she clicking that she got it from the discord

[wicked harbor]

So, if I have a pokemon that is showing up with a ? sprite, both in my party and in the wild, will it download itself if I'm patient? Or should I be troubleshooting?

[zinc shale]

she needs to read and say she got the link from discord/reddit

[nimble rivet]

What if I re-download the game?

Would that make sure the sprites are fixed?

[rigid silo]

?tag intro

[pearl magnet]

Where did you get the game files from?

• The game is not asking where you heard about the game. It is asking where you downloaded the game.
• Please read what the game is asking you and answer appropriately. If you downloaded from links from this discord and is still opening discord and closing the game, you are selecting the wrong answer.

[rustic sand]

She did misclick

[rigid silo]

did you mess with any files while the sprites were down?

that includes sprites

[valid quail]

any idea what item could do that ?

[nimble rivet]

I imported sprites

I can just delete the imported ones?

[rigid silo]

yeahhhhh, thats why the message said to not share any "fixes"

give it a full reinstall. then head over to a pokecenter, talk to the man in the black suit, advanced, reset, do both those options

[zinc shale]

https://tenor.com/view/northernlion-nl-mewing-rizz-rizz-face-gif-8483277023438224663

[vestal wolf]

Umm so all the wild pokemon have sprites now but the ones i caught in my pc is missing

[wicked harbor]

relog fixed my missing sprites

[vestal wolf]

do i update the game?

[olive path]

its showing the sprites for me but my mimelia is missing my favorite sprite

[hardy stone]

I play on Android, the reinstall means saying goodbye to my save files?

[olive path]

the one where she is juggling

[stray prism]

sorry got back from ortho appointment which one is the zip on?

[rigid silo]

only reinstall if you messed with files

otherwise you're good

[hardy stone]

I did :c

[nimble rivet]

What if I just remove the imported sprites tho?

[valid quail]

i just keep getting newer error i already have re installed the game

[rigid silo]

give it a bit. the auto-download limits you the a nr of sprites per time

[rigid silo]

depends on if you selected some already as sprites for your mons

or did encounters with them

[nimble rivet]

Haven’t

[olive path]

k ty for fixing the things

[stray prism]

i didn't even open the game yet

[rigid silo]

you're inside the zip, go back out one and follow the lightweight installer guide to extract

[nimble rivet]

So I should be fine then?

[rigid silo]

then you can give it a shot

[nimble rivet]

One way to find out

[rigid silo]

worst case you still have to reinstall

[zinc shale]

Ronin, there is no way you break it unless you straight up go to %appdata% and delete your save, just reinstall and if there is any sprite with ? because you preselected one from the manual imported ones just fix it in the pokedex or do what Ymir told you about the guy in the pokemon center 20 messages up

[nimble rivet]

Oh mb

[atomic fractal]

Is there anyway to replace the trainer sprite in a similar way to how it was in previous versions? I miss being able to do a Hex Maniac runs ;-;

[rustic sand]

Okay she got it working tho it making her go right to character no option to randomize the game

But she dont got save data does she need to make a normal vharacter first then she can make a rando run

[stray prism]

the command prompt looks like this

[zinc shale]

InfiniteFusion\Graphics\Characters\player, play with the sprites and see what happens

[zinc shale]

she needs to start a classic game, save, then go back and do the new game + to select the randomizer

[unkempt fox]

Uninstalled and reinstalled game, and most sprites are still just this

[zinc shale]

did you add the sprites manually before it got fixed ?

[unkempt fox]

I manually installed sprites before I uninstalled it the first time

I guess I should try again though

[zinc shale]

then do this

[unkempt fox]

See when I uninstalled it still kept my save state

Is there a file somewhere that isn't getting deleted?

[zinc shale]

when you select a specific sprite (what you did when you selected manually imported sprites) there is a pointer saved in your saved data so the game knows which sprite to show you, because you deleted the game and reinstalled those imported sprites the pointer is pointing to dont exist, thus the ? appears, do what Ymir said, it should reset the cache and fix it

if it doesnt, just select manually in the pokedex, you shouldnt have seen more than i dont know, 30-50 pokemon, its 2 minutes of fixing

[digital vault]

I talked to the guy at the pokecenter and still sprites are missing anyone get a fix yet?

[wild nebula]

if i wanna keep the save data, how do i find and save it prior to a full reinstall?

[grim bronze]

Went up to ||Mt. Silver Summit to fight the legendary there||and I still slow walk even after leaving. Is there a fix for this?

[rustic sand]

Odd so me and my friend both having the question mark sprites and we cleared out sprite caches

Is there a way to download the sprites we both using launcher

[grim bronze]

nvm just used the debugger

[zinc shale]

if you are playing on pc you dont need to, your save data is in %appdata%, not in the game folder

[storm violet]

so the sprites download as you play, do you always start with blank sprites, or are they saved once they are loaded in?

[wild nebula]

so i can safely uninstall the game and reinstall and my save will be fine

[zinc shale]

yes

[wild nebula]

sorry, im clueless with games that arent through steam

[civic edge]

How come the pokecenters are all black? no terrain, only NPC's 😛

[valid quail]

my game crashed without even a error or something

[final sundial]

hello, so i seem to be facing an issue after starting the game again, it asked me if id like to download the updated sprites, and when i said yes, most of the sprites on my pokemon are now ?'s. so i downloaded the sprite pack from the discord, but copying packs 1-114 says its going to take 50 hours. so my question is am i doing something wrong?

[civic edge]

Why are sprites not downloading?

Servers down?

[reef quartz]

My game no open :(

I was about to get back in the game from a few months ago so I updated it and now it just doesnt work when I open it

It immediately closes itself

[regal patio]

Sprites still down?

[regal geyser]

?tag olddata

[mossy widget]

I'm also currently having issues with certain sprites not being available? It said sprites will download as i play but they're just question marks

[pearl magnet]

The most likely reason your game is opening and closing is due to improperly updated game files. We mention in #downloads to not update ANY files versions below 6.6.0.

If you're using the Launcher:

1. Reinstall version 1.1.2 of the launcher from #downloads
2. Open the settings tab
3. Click "Reset Config"
   NOTE: The original path that the launcher shows will be your old game folder. That folder should be deleted. The new game folder will be in PIFLauncher(#.#.#)/GameFiles/InfiniteFusion

If you're not using the Launcher:

Use the Lightweight installer guide to install in a NEW folder ➡️ Click Here⬅️

If you are on a non-Windows device, follow the [guide](#tech-support message) for your device to reinstall.

Reinstalling on Windows does not affect Save Files in any way.

[last flame]

does mobile need to fully reinstall to resolve the sprite issue?

[reef quartz]

Thanks

[civic edge]

yeah same, didnt have this issue when I first played some weeks ago

[storm violet]

?tag spritefix

[pearl magnet]

Custom Sprites from the sprite pack not showing up? There is currently a bug with it and not automatically downloading the new custom sprites. We found a workaround though:

1. Don't have the Pokémon fused.
2. Turn off Download Data and Save and Close the game
3. Reopen the game
4. Fuse the Pokemon. Turn Download Data back on. Save and Close the game.
5. Reopen
6. Check the Pokedex -> Sprites tab and your sprite will be there now.

[wintry cloud]

unless you messed with files no

[unkempt fox]

idk what my problem was but deleting my computer's local app data fixed it, I have sprites again

[final sundial]

my issue is with base pokemon having a sprite issue, all my fusions so far have been fine

[civic edge]

which folder, and dont u mean Roaming?

[unkempt fox]

I do mean roaming yes

[storm violet]

now that i run around it seems all the base pokemon sprites are the only ones affected, yeah. i don't seem to have any custom sprites either though...

[civic edge]

but what about your save files? 😛

[unkempt fox]

I barely played the game before the sprites broke

[civic edge]

hmm

[unkempt fox]

oh no, my 10 minutes of time

[mossy widget]

That's my issue, I dont want to lose my save data by uninstalling and reinstalling just because of a sprite issue, although the sprite issue is quite annoying

[stray prism]

lucky it won't let me in the game because of this

[olive mason]

yo guys do you know if the sprite problems have been fixed ?

[storm violet]

it does say there should be some sprites pre-installed, so it can't be an issue downloading them, then?

[civic edge]

why can't they just make all the files self-contained and portable...

[mossy widget]

This also happened to me after i pinned it to quickstart, I fixed it by Unpinning it and Opening it through WINRAR

[civic edge]

why this mess with appdata and pointers to sprites to a path that clearly doesnt exist when moving save files

so dumb

[stray prism]

what is winrar

[stiff arch]

So I'm not the only one with some sprites not working? Like rattata and squirtle arent working for me rn

[mossy widget]

Winrar is a file organizing app, It basically is a files app that you can organize files within, without disrupting the true file location.

[civic edge]

nope same here

[mossy widget]

I'm missing a lot of base pokemon sprites.

[civic edge]

I think its some server issue tbh

@stiff arch try going into a pokecenter

is everything black for you as well?

[stiff arch]

Nah pokecenters are fine

[civic edge]

hm

[mossy widget]

My pokecenter is normal

[stiff arch]

Just some sprites arent showing for me

[civic edge]

for some reason the sprites are not downloading, didnt have this issue before

but I did just move the game to another pc

including save files

doing an update now

[mossy widget]

Is there a way to update the game? I was looking online but couldn't find anything

[civic edge]

with the PIFLauncher

but didnt work for me

some sprites are also empty

as in

not even a question mark

jjust nothingness

[storm violet]

i did the fix in

and then updated

and now i have sprites.

[civic edge]

OK so its a known issue at least

[silk beacon]

everything running fine only the sprites not working- same ones as the ones before. either not showing at all or showing non custome sprite even tho its telling me its custom sprite. just adding as info

[mossy widget]

is ?tag spritefix a file in infinitefusion, or is it a debugg in the game

[storm violet]

follow the instructions

turn off download data, save, close, reopen, turn on download data, save, close, reopen

[civic edge]

yeah but I got dozens of fuzed pokemon

[storm violet]

then update the game with the .bat file

[civic edge]

is step 1 necessary for each pokemon?

not sure I understand why that part of the sequence

[storm violet]

i did it without that because i didn't have any fused pokemon.

worked for me regardless with the base pokemon sprite issue.

[civic edge]

ok lets try, 1 sec

[stray prism]

winrar is not helping

[final sundial]

@storm violet did you have to start your save?

[storm violet]

i had a save between viridian and the starter town.

[final sundial]

Or is that something you did just from the games start menu?

[storm violet]

i just ran around in the grass to check the sprites in-between closing and reopening the game

once i updated it with the .bat file things seemed to work better

[civic edge]

nope

settings > turn download sprites off > save/close
reopen game
turn download sprites on > save/close
reopen game

[storm violet]

update it with the .bat file in the game folder

install_or_update

[stray prism]

mossy it is not helping

[storm violet]

that worked for me finally

[wicked harbor]

Can confirm that my game has fully given up on downloading sprites, and this doesn't seem to change it. It worked for like an hour, now it seems to be bugged again.

[last dove]

help bidoof and honedge dont have sprites 😭
this isnt normal right
