Yes, exact paths are also in the game files

The installer simply pulls the repo

Hi, does anybody know why when I update infinite fusion on my steam deck it doesn’t open anymore it just closes instantly however when I first install it before updating it , it loads perfectly fine?

[verbal timber]

?tag olddata

[pearl magnet]

If your game is opening and immediately closing, you likely need to do a full reinstall in a new folder. DO NOT MIX OLD AND NEW FILES!

If you're using the Launcher:

1. Reinstall version 1.1.2 of the launcher from HERE (Yes, even if you're already on 1.1.2)
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
4. Install/Update the game files.

If you're not using the Launcher:

Reinstall the Lightweight installer in a NEW folder from 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. For all other platforms, refer to the installation guides for your device!

[fossil kernel]

Thank you I’ll try that in a short while

[civic badger]

yo can someone help? i am doing gym number 8 aka giovannis gym and everytime i battle the girl trainer that is obbligatory i get this error and it crashes. what do i do help

also i MIGHT be stupid but i skipped blaines gym maybe thats why it crashes?

[verbal timber]

no

this is an issue with legendary mode

[verbal timber]

only fix is leaving the gym, going into your options, and changing from remix to classic

[civic badger]

alr

[sterile pivot]

@Mimo if you game still crashed just use WTW

[sterile pivot]

That's how got through that

[vivid talon]

I am still having this issue.
I tried installing the sprites manually after disabling the "download data" option but that didn't work.
So I tried uninstalling and re-installing the game and importing the sprites manually but that still didn't work.
Now I'm gonna try to revert back to a previous backup hoping that will fix it

[verbal timber]

that is cheating

unless you have it unlocked legit

the thing I told mimo is the correct method

[sterile pivot]

I know but my game crashed like 6 times

Even after switching between classic and remix

REGARDING SPRITE ISSUES:

NOTE: If you are offline and cannot play the game online, download the newest spritepack from #spritepack-releases (NOT APPLICABLE FOR ANDROID)

If you have seen even a single custom or base sprite for any pokemon:
Your game is fine and working properly! The game can only download a limited number of sprites while playing before going on cooldown, you have simply hit the download cap for now.
If you still feel like your sprites are not download, ensure that you have your "download data" option enabled and your device is connected to the internet.

If you have not seen even a single sprite for any pokemon:
Your game is not working properly!
Step 1. Ensure you're on the latest version (check your title screen and compare with #downloads)
Step 2. Ensure you have a good internet connection.
Step 3. Check your options in a save, turn on "download data" if it was turned off.
Step 4. If that did not fix it: head to a pokecenter > talk to the man in a black suit with sunglasses and navigate to Sprite Settings and select "Reset sprite cache" & "Reset displayed alt sprites".
Step 5. If that did not fix it, delete any game or launcher folders and do a full reinstall.
Step 6. After reinstalling, repeat step 4.

If for some reason none of this works, type ?tag altdownload in #ask-a-bot and reinstall using those files (NOT APPLICABLE FOR ANDROID)

[verbal timber]

^check against that

[verbal timber]

then you bring the issue here and get a porygon to help, do not cheat

cheating means you void ALL support

[vivid talon]

I already tried doing a full reinstall twice, now I installed a third time and am just gonna leave the game open to download the sprites, I went back to a backup before I agreed to download the sprites, so I get the prompt again

[vivid talon]

(hopefully)

[sterile pivot]

Ok I'm sorry

I didn't knew that

[verbal timber]

then you skipped the very last thing on that list

[sterile pivot]

Ty for telling

[verbal timber]

which says if all else fails, use the altdownload

the altdownload has, at least to my knowledge, all the spritesheets

[limpid fable]

I can't download the latest version I'm on android

[civic badger]

also i already am in classic mode, but for now im gonna do blaines gym

[civic badger]

.

[limpid fable]

I have 6.6.2

[candid anvil]

what do you mean you can't download it?

[candid anvil]

if you want to update follow the android guide here #tech-support message

[whole tulip]

does this game work on ios btw guys?

[turbid terrace]

Hey @whole tulip! You cannot install this game on iPhone or iPad. This game is not a ROM Hack so Delta won't work and we are not planning to release an iOS version.

[verbal timber]

i already gave you your answer

[sweet oriole]

Just checking if it is possible to install on an Anbernic RG40XXV ... if anyone knows?

[civic badger]

the thing is im not in remix im in classic and if i try to change to remix it doesnt let me

so uh i think im cooked

😭

[verbal timber]

hang on

@rigid silo this is more up your alley than it is mine

[verbal timber]

if that is an android device, maybe

[sweet oriole]

Awww crap it runs on Linux... I haven't seen anyone running it from what I've searched online

[verbal timber]

if it is linux, then it needs to be running Ubuntu as the OS

which we have a guide for

if it is any other linux os, you are on your own

[neon grotto]

can i ask smthn gameplay related here coz #gameplay-help looks ded

[verbal timber]

this is only tech support

[neon grotto]

okie

i think ik where to check...

[verbal timber]

and you were answered for your last question in #gameplay-help

[neon grotto]

just now i saw

tf

how do i add all channels

ok done

[rigid silo]

wait, how are you even doing giovannis gym before blaine?

[quiet hollow]

Better question: how did they get inside Giovanni’s gym before Blaine

[verbal timber]

you can do that

you don't need to fight blaine to access giovani

all you need to do is mt ember to get 8th gym access

[quiet hollow]

Oh, did not know that

[rigid silo]

ah i thought mt ember was locked behind blaine

[verbal timber]

nope

soon as you get to cinnabar you can trigger the rocket cutscene with the boat and then dip off to mt ember

[quiet hollow]

I’ve done Mt. Ember before Blaine before, but thought Viridian gym would be locked behind both

[verbal timber]

only lock for Viridian gym is beating Giovani in Mt Ember

and the only mini break that exists in that area is going to mt ember without doing the boat cutscene which locks you out of some legendaries/mythicals in sevi

[rigid silo]

at any rate, the error is legendary mode being legendary mode.
often caused by combining with randomizer - but not always.

if you have randomized trainer teams on - turn it off.
if you dont - its just legendary mode doing its thing.

[verbal timber]

the fix i recommended for them didn't work, which is to change the mode in the options, but usually it is on remix when in legendary mode and changing it to classic fixes it

but they have it on classic already and changing it to remix crashes the game

[rigid silo]

-# kick legendary mode to experimental

[verbal timber]

that's the way it is looking at this point yeah

Frog seems to be aware of the issue though, for one of the trainers/gyms anyway

[rigid silo]

yeah there are a bunch of trainers where this happens

just like how randerror only happens on certain trainers too

[verbal timber]

🤔 wonder if it is the same issue with both modes

[cedar cobalt]

my poke radar is showing different pokemon than whats actually on the route (Playing on randomized). ive had this issue over multiple save files.

[rigid silo]

known, nothing to do about it.
no big deal either

[verbal timber]

was gonna say sometimes turning static encounters off fixes it

[rigid silo]

sure, if they are content with not randomizing any actual statics

[verbal timber]

hit up the help man, and swing into the randomizer settings, turn off Static encounters to see if that resolves your radar issues

[cedar cobalt]

that fixed it, Thank you!

When asking for help, please be as specific as possible! We cannot help you if you don't give us the information we need!

Info we need:

1. Explain the issue. When is the issue happening? What were you doing when the issue occurred? Do not just say "Game won't work"! This does not help us at all!
2. Where did you get the game files from? (Discord, links from discord, website, etc.?)
3. Are you using the Launcher?
4. Did you update from old files or install in a new folder?
5. What version are you on? (Open the game, title screen says)
6. What device are you playing on? (Windows, Android, Mac, etc.)
7. Send a screenshot if applicable. Often times, it is hard to describe your issue. Send a screenshot so we can see what you are seeing. Especially if you are getting an error.

[fading gate]

So I was looking through the wiki and it said the full sprite pack was in downloads but i don't see it.

you dont need that

[fading gate]

but doesnt it give like the custom sprites that people had made. Wait I just thought about it. I was looking for it and couldnt find it my bad ill keep searching. I had wanted to download it to see em in the game

[limber pelican]

The sprite packs are for people who don't have internet/bad internet

the game if you have internet autodownloads sprites for you as you play the game

these sprites are the same ones you'd get in the sprite pack

[little lodge]

Sprite packs are in #spritepack-releases but if you play online there's no need to import as they come preinstalled with the game

And yes I tried to reset the sprite cashe many times too but it still doesn't work

Game isn't al;lowing my to play the main screen goes blacck after launching then closes have tried reinstalling several times

[little lodge]

When you reinstall, do you delete the .zip, the game, AND the launcher and download a fresh .zip?

[late jolt]

I didnt try that wa sjust using the same zip

[little lodge]

You need to download it brand new. Don't worry about your saves as they should be fine

[grizzled kestrel]

why the entire environment sprites have been gone? I just download to pc and passed my mobile save and this happened

[grizzled kestrel]

nah, forgot that. I just found a way out after catching it and the sprites came to normal again

[radiant socket]

Trying to download the game and need help

I’m watching the video, but it says I need to have unarchiver in the vid but the updated doc doesn’t say that

Wait nvm I figured it out

Wait, sorry is this correct?

https://www.mediafire.com/file/jwuzsjceke8lo9d/InfiniteFusion.zip/file

[barren jasper]

anyone ?

[verbal timber]

do you have download data turned on

[barren jasper]

yes

I checked everything and tried to reset everything multiple times, even reinstalled everything

[verbal timber]

and I assume you've also been actively playing the game, i.e., battling and fusing since that is mainly when the game grabs sprites

and this would of course apply after the sprite cache reset/reinstall

because if you haven't, then that would explain your lack of sprites

[radiant socket]

?

[verbal timber]

if that was the link provided in whatever mac guide you used, then yes

or if not mac guide, whatever guide from here you used

as long as the links are from our guides in this discord server, it is correct

[radiant socket]

Yes I got it from a link that sent me to a link from a link from this discord

I’m watching the video and it says to click the RAR file with one stable. I don’t have that I have EXE

I tried to use EXE in this popped up. How do I get RAR?

[verbal timber]

you already have it extracted then

because that is one of the game applications

[barren jasper]

I have indeed used the game for a year now, battling, fusing and defusing etc ye

This issue happened only once in the while when I started playing the game, but since the last patch or 2 it became regular and its kind of annoying

[verbal timber]

ok, when was the last time you reinstalled

[barren jasper]

Last month maybe ?

[verbal timber]

ok, assuming you've been playing semi regularly since then

InfiniteFusion\Data\sprites\updated_spritesheets_cache

path to the above file
open it
and then send the contents of it here

depending on what is in there will determine what route to take next

[barren jasper]

regular one, not "full" ?

[verbal timber]

not sure what you mean

[verbal timber]

great, they changed things up

do both

since i'm not sure which the game is pulling from

[verbal timber]

which one is which

[barren jasper]

the first is the regular

the latter is "full"

[verbal timber]

hm

both read fine, you should have sprites with 0 issue

[barren jasper]

ugh

I guess I'm good for another reinstall

[verbal timber]

don't use the normal install

?tag altdownload

[pearl magnet]

Alt Download

Use our alt download that has the game already installed for you without needing to run the installer. These files 100% work. No need to transfer files/saves to this at all. If these files are still giving you issues, the issue is on your end, not the game files: ➡️ More Info

[verbal timber]

^use this one

if the sprite issue remains with those files, then something weird is going on with your end

because sapp recently updated that

so go ahead and delete your existing infinite fusion folder and grab the alt download

[barren jasper]

I'll try that, thx

[verbal timber]

*note; you will need to do both sprite reset things after you load up your save, since your sprites will be borked

[barren jasper]

so "fix game" and reset sprite cache ?

[verbal timber]

the sprite reset things are in the sprite options in the help man

clear sprite cache and reset displayed alt sprites

[barren jasper]

oh that yeah right

[solid hull]

so i play game for 2 hour earlier then log of my computer log back on later and try to load up my save world which was save before i left and my game not coming up with my save file and ever time i try to get a new game with auto save on or even try to save it normally this pop up

[verbal timber]

?tag corrupted

[pearl magnet]

The error you are having is due to a corrupted save in your save folder conflicting with your current save.

Note: Ensure you know which save file is corrupted before continuing. You can see the save slot on the save selection screen.

1. Open your game folder
2. Double click SaveFile
3. Delete the save file causing issues.
4. If you don't know which it is, you can remove the save 1 by 1 from this folder until you find it

If you want to revert your save to a backup, use ?tag backups for more info.

small question, if im on version 6.6.2, am I gonna have to reinstall to get version 6.7?

[verbal timber]

you shouldn't have to, but there is a risk that something borks so a reinstall might be needed

in short, if you just want to cut out the middle man and not worry, reinstall

[spice hemlock]

I ran the update, Im at version 6.6 still so Im not sure

so yea, maybe reinstall

[solid hull]

ty got it all working now

[spice hemlock]

I have to uninstall the old files to run the reinstalled stuff right?

[spice hemlock]

It says I'm missing a path?

"the system cannot find the path specified"

I think I fucked something up XP

[verbal timber]

yes, we recommend deleting your old game files [i.e., your infinitefusion folder]
that error you got usually means you didn't follow the guide correctly

[spice hemlock]

Yea, no, I don't believe I did

[spice hemlock]

Whenever I try and run the application its labeled as "mkxp-z" and closes immediately

[verbal timber]

well that's not what you're meant to run

as that is the version of rpgmaker

the game is using

[verbal timber]

what guide are you following

[spice hemlock]

Honestly I was going off memory, so I will admit it's on me. I went and deleted the old stuff, and I think I might have gotten rid of something essential in the process

[verbal timber]

unless you somehow deleted your saves, that is unlikely

especially since for most of the guides, saves are tucked away in roaming appdata

?tag guides

[pearl magnet]

All of our Official Guides to install the game are located here: [CLICK HERE FOR GUIDES](#tech-support message)

[spice hemlock]

When ever I try and run it off the launcher, I get a message saying "no game scripts specified (missing game.ini?)"

Everything is updated

[foggy frost]

does the game by default have all the sprite packs installed? when i tried to copy paste it crashes about 90% of transfer

[verbal timber]

for the launcher specifically, make sure to reset the config in the settings

it is likely trying to check the wrong folder for the game files

if it is in the right spot, and you have that file, then delete the launcher filers and use the lightweight instead

[spice hemlock]

so if I keep getting this, go to the lightweight?

[spice hemlock]

Well, it no longer says mkzp, but the game won't stay open

[little lodge]

Before you reinstalled using lightweight, did you delete everything PIF related?

Aside from saves

[spice hemlock]

I dont believe so, no, I still have a folder with a few other PIF related things

[little lodge]

Personal PIF (like sprites you want to import) or game files?

[spice hemlock]

uhhhh, I believe game files. I know all the sprites are auto in now

[little lodge]

Alright. Perform another fresh reinstall then

Only this time, delete everything first

[spice hemlock]

this file I mentioned has my saves in it. so that as well?

[little lodge]

No your saves will be fine. Those can stay

You'll see a folder called "Savefiles" in your game folder, that's just a shortcut to the saves

Not the actual folder

[spice hemlock]

just to be clear

I dont want to misinterpret nothing of course

[little lodge]

You'll notice there's an arrow on this folder. This indicates it's a shortcut instead of a link.

[spice hemlock]

and the one below it?

without the arrow?

[little lodge]

You'll see I have those too

[little lodge]

Duplicate but nothing that you should worry about if you remove them

I actually had to perform a fresh reinstall with the update as well

[spice hemlock]

Okay, so all that can go. Understood

If you can't tell, I don't mess with my files too often 😅

[little lodge]

That's what we're here for! :)

[spice hemlock]

Alright, getting rid of all the folders, reinstalling fresh installer

[little lodge]

Alr. Lemme know how it goes <3

[spice hemlock]

the first thing I notice as I follow the guide, when I go to create the launcher its missing the ".bat" at the end of it

[little lodge]

If you don't have file extensions visible you won't see them

Files with these icons are .bat files

If you want to show extensions you can toggle it on here

[spice hemlock]

alright, so I wont see it. when I go to launch it, it does, I get the app and it doesnt need me to install anything. goes right to play, but the app is only open for a few seconds before closing

[little lodge]

Is your game in C:\Downloads as the guide suggests?

(I know mine doesn't show there but ignore mine lol)

Not me accidentally deleting the installer after trying to clear the rest of my PIF stuff

[native ravine]

Heya, just did a full new install of the game, and I noticed it says it automatically downloads the new sprites, but when I booted the game the title screen had the debug question mark circles coming together and creating the randomly generated sprites.

Is there a way to verify if its actually downloading it? or should I just keep rebooting the game until it works? or should I do a full manual sprite pack install first?

[turbid terrace]

Hey @native ravine! Magic Boots are an IN GAME reward for catching all unfused 501 Pokemon in a non-randomized file (Dex number 1-501). After doing so, the Developer in Celadon will reward you with them. Putting them on will unlock DEBUG options that you can play with.

Use ?tag proof to see how you get the Dex Completionist Role for earning the Magic Boots in Discord.

REGARDING SPRITE ISSUES:

NOTE: If you are offline and cannot play the game online, download the newest spritepack from #spritepack-releases (NOT APPLICABLE FOR ANDROID)

If you have seen even a single custom or base sprite for any pokemon:
Your game is fine and working properly! The game can only download a limited number of sprites while playing before going on cooldown, you have simply hit the download cap for now.
If you still feel like your sprites are not download, ensure that you have your "download data" option enabled and your device is connected to the internet.

If you have not seen even a single sprite for any pokemon:
Your game is not working properly!
Step 1. Ensure you're on the latest version (check your title screen and compare with #downloads)
Step 2. Ensure you have a good internet connection.
Step 3. Check your options in a save, turn on "download data" if it was turned off.
Step 4. If that did not fix it: head to a pokecenter > talk to the man in a black suit with sunglasses and navigate to Sprite Settings and select "Reset sprite cache" & "Reset displayed alt sprites".
Step 5. If that did not fix it, delete any game or launcher folders and do a full reinstall.
Step 6. After reinstalling, repeat step 4.

If for some reason none of this works, type ?tag altdownload in #ask-a-bot and reinstall using those files (NOT APPLICABLE FOR ANDROID)

[verbal timber]

the game mainly downloads sprites [assuming you have the above option turned on] when you battle and fuse

[native ravine]

gotcha, will do

i just booted the game and it occasionally has a couple custom sprites amidst all the ?s

[verbal timber]

normal

means the game is working correctly

how do i change my controls?

is that in the ingame menu or the launcher?

If your game is opening and immediately closing, you likely need to do a full reinstall in a new folder. DO NOT MIX OLD AND NEW FILES!

If you're using the Launcher:

1. Reinstall version 1.1.2 of the launcher from HERE (Yes, even if you're already on 1.1.2)
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
4. Install/Update the game files.

If you're not using the Launcher:

Reinstall the Lightweight installer in a NEW folder from Here

When randomizing the game, you can only randomize Trainers and Gym leaders if you are playing Classic or Randomized Mode.

Randomizing trainers on Remix and Expert Mode will crash trainer battlers.

Steps to fix:

1. Go to a Pokemon Center and talk to Help Man (guy in black suit)
2. Select Advanced Settings -> Randomizer Settings -> Turn Trainers/Gyms OFF
   Note: If you are on Expert Mode, you can go to the help man and switch back to Classic rather than turning off random trainers.

How to install sprites manually

[candid anvil]

?tag importsp

[pearl magnet]

To successfully import your own custom sprite, please follow these steps:

Sprite Requirements:

1. Format: The sprite must be in .png format.
2. Naming Convention: Name your sprite according to the game's dex numbering. For example, a fusion of Aegislash and Goodra should be named 329.446.png.

Importing Your Sprite:

1. Ensure your sprite meets the criteria above.
2. Open your game folder and navigate to Graphics/CustomBattlers/Sprites to import.
3. Paste your sprite into this folder.

In-Game Instructions:

1. Launch the game.
2. The game will automatically detect the new sprites.
3. If you have an existing sprite that you're replacing, select the option "Replace All the old sprites with the new ones" when prompted.

Once completed, you can view your custom sprite in-game from the Pokedex's Sprite tab.

Is there a difference tho? I'm assuming you'd jsut have to manually download each update if you're going offline?

[kindred crystal]

Correct

If online, you do nothing. If offline, you'll have to download individual sprite packs every month

[nocturne bronze]

Ahh, so is the online version different than the offline one? Like the one I have rn would be considered online, does that mean I can't do manual sprites?

[kindred crystal]

Its the exact same game, but it relies on internet to download the sprites

So if you download it offline... How is it going to pull them

[nocturne bronze]

Ahh, I've noticed that, makes sense. Its just I'm tryna play around with the sprites so...

[kindred crystal]

You can swap sprites around with your own any time regardless of internet

[nocturne bronze]

Thats the plan, I've downloaded the full pack? The one from the latest update. Do I just slap that bish into my files or what?

[kindred crystal]

If I remember correctly you drop sprite packs into thr CustomBattlers folder

[nocturne bronze]

Thank you for the help btw, appreciate

[loud sigil]

don’t install spritepacks if you are playing online with internet currently

[nocturne bronze]

:0

[kindred crystal]

They're planning to play offline

[loud sigil]

Ah then yeah follow the guide for it

[nocturne bronze]

Oh shi, where issit?

[loud sigil]

Should be in the message to download it as far as I remember

[kindred crystal]

I cant remember the tag for it

[patent burrow]

hello guys am I missing something for more custom sprites or is it just the current game state that a lot of fusions don't have custom sprites?

[kindred crystal]

?tag customsprites

[pearl magnet]

No tag customsprites found.

[kindred crystal]

Okay well thats the tag you damn bot

[limber pelican]

?tag reading moment

[pearl magnet]

You should try to read NPC dialogue! They give very good hints on how to continue the game. Sometimes they also give you items! Don't forget to talk to NPC's and read what they say.

[loud sigil]

if you have seen any custom sprites others might just not have downloaded yet as the game does cap out

you can also always check with a calc if the specific fusion your doing has a custom (since theres so many not every fusion has one yet)

[kindred crystal]

Why does that tag not work even though it's pinned

[patent burrow]

sorry I'm a little slow right now what do you mean by this exactly

[nocturne bronze]

Got the guide, thanks y'all, I'll see if there's any issue soon

Hopefully stuff works out

[loud sigil]

So if you have seen any custom sprites for fusion or even bases your game is downloading them but it can only download so many at once so sometimes you wont get customs for a bit

[patent burrow]

ah okay well then I'm assuming I won't see anything new, I've been playing every evening for the past week

Hello, i have the game on Android and im going to be in an area where i will have no internet connection for a week or so. I was wondering if there is a way to add all the sprites to my game, or in my files so I dont need a internet connection to play?

[paper pine]

when i boot up the game it goes to a black screen for 5 seconds then instantly crashes, is there anyway to fix this?

[turbid terrace]

Hey @paper pine! Black screen in this game is the loading screen. The duration of the black screen depends on YOUR computer and YOUR internet.

• If you get the message below while opening the game, this means to stop clicking/pressing buttons on the screen as it is loading.
• If you get the message while in game, this means your computer is struggling.

?tag olddata

[pearl magnet]

If your game is opening and immediately closing, you likely need to do a full reinstall in a new folder. DO NOT MIX OLD AND NEW FILES!

If you're using the Launcher:

1. Reinstall version 1.1.2 of the launcher from HERE (Yes, even if you're already on 1.1.2)
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
4. Install/Update the game files.

If you're not using the Launcher:

Reinstall the Lightweight installer in a NEW folder from 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. For all other platforms, refer to the installation guides for your device!

[frozen grove]

Android comes preloaded with the spritesheets so you don’t need to import them

[kindred crystal]

Is there even a way to import things on mobile? Kind of a pain in the ass to access files through your file folder

[frozen grove]

You can import individual sprites the same was you would on pc by putting them in the sprites to import folder

But it is not recommended for anyone to do the full pack that way because most phones can’t handle trying to process 150k+ images at once like that

[kindred crystal]

Skill issue tbh

[frozen grove]

But yea, that’s why Android now comes pre-loaded with the spritesheets (just like the alt download)

Altho I haven’t updated it with this months sheets yet

-# Android that is, the alt is updated

[kindred crystal]

Can you explain to me what the difference between the spritesheet and the main download is? What is the other way thats not a spritesheet, is that the "live download over time?"

[frozen grove]

The spritessheets are all of the sprites in the sheets (how the game downloads them automatically. If you want, you can go into InfiniteFusion/Graphics/CustomBattlers/spritesheets/spritesheets_custom and you’ll see a bunch of numbered folders. Each of those folders contain the spritesheets for that head number.) whereas the full spritepack (and all monthly packs) are just the individual sprite images

[kindred crystal]

Okay so essentially a spritesheet is a callout for the download to see what it needs to pull and fill, vs the full pack is just "no callout, download the whole lot"

[frozen grove]

More or less. The sheets are quite literally just sheets with up to 501 sprites in a single image in a grid that the game pulls from. Individual sprites that are manually imported into the game will still show but aren’t added into the sheets. They’ll go into their own “local_sprites” folder

[kindred crystal]

Neat

[frozen grove]

The main benefit to the spritesheets is that instead of 150k+ images, it’s like.. 2k or smth

So it helps with the file bloat

[kindred crystal]

Yeah. More compact for sizing, and the game can just pull then anytime, it just means a slight amount of lag each time it has to pull one for the first time

Aka, make fulfill the callout

[frozen grove]

The lag actually comes from the download from the sprite repo. If download data is off but you have everything fully preloaded (like the alt download), there is very minimal lag

[kindred crystal]

What is the sprite repo?

[frozen grove]

Basically the “cloud server” that the sprites are stored on that the game pulls from

(The automatic download)

[kindred crystal]

Oh so that's actually where live download is pulling from, not the spritesheets

The spritesheet is just telling it what to pull?

Like what image it needs

[frozen grove]

The repo contains the spritesheets. The game makes a call to pull down a specific spritesheet for that fusion and then the game will download that entire sheet into your game files

[kindred crystal]

Sorry. Trying to work and learn, I'm probably making this harder than it needs to be. I'll read this all again probably

[frozen grove]

And then from then on, the fusions with that Mon as the head should just pull from the local sheet without needing to call the repo again

[kindred crystal]

So in theory, if it pulls a 501 sheet for 1 mon, then way later in the game you encounter a mon that also happens to be one of those 501, there will be virtually no lag because it already pulled that whole sheet anyway

And there are approx 2,000 of the 501 sheets

[neon vine]

hey this is where i ask for help if there is any problems with the game right?

[placid salmon]

this question probably has a very obvious answer and i'm sorry, but is there any way to bulk download the sprites instead of having to be online with the download data function on in settings, without manually downloading the spriteback and putting it in the folder? or is that the only way to get all the avaiable custom sprites in one go

[sick spear]

Hi, I am doing the quest against Team Rocket in the sewers and I can't cross this footbridge to reach Team Rocket's secret base. I have version 6.7.2 of the game and I am on Windows.

[candid anvil]

not a tech error. you need to go to that side and kick it down before you flood it

so drain it, get over there and interact with it

[sick spear]

Thank you, I will try !!!

[kindred crystal]

The only way to download for offline use is to use thr alt download to download the entire thing in one go, and then from there you'll have to manually download and add each months sprite packs

[placid salmon]

oh boy :( that's more or less what i suspected. Thank you very much!

[kindred crystal]

Yep! Don't worry, there's only over 250,000 images

[placid salmon]

Yyyyeah I think I'll just have to deal with autogenerated sprites when I play over trips :P

[kindred crystal]

And thats just the autogens, thats not even counting any custom sprites

[placid salmon]

It does load autogenerated sprites offline, presumably I did at one point download the whole thing?

[kindred crystal]

Counting custom sprites there's somewhere north of 300K

Idk

[placid salmon]

I have had this game downloaded for a good long while, I just keep falling off and then updating it and picking it up again from the start because i never remember what i was going for in the previous runs :P I'm determined to finish it this time though because the game is really good!!!!

Not entirely. Frog didn’t add the updated credits csv file into the repo for the game to pull from so technically using the altdownload (which has the updated sheets) online will pull the incorrect credits and not show the sprites from the new pack

?tag chaining

[pearl magnet]

Having trouble keeping up your chain? Read through the steps below.

1. Gather up Repels and Pokéballs of your choice. It is also recommended to have Elixirs, Ethers, or Leppa Berries as well to maintain PP.
2. Apply a repel outside of the grass ⬅️ and then enter the grass where your desired Pokémon is located. The Radar has its own built in Repel that only lasts 8 steps. The extra repel is for larger patches that would require more than those 8 steps. For small patches of grass, additional Repels aren’t needed
3. Use the Radar and interact with rustling grass until you find the Pokémon you are looking for, running away from any Pokémon you are not hunting.
4. Defeat or capture the Pokémon. Do not run away. More grass will be rustling around you. Choose a spot that is 4 steps away through grass tiles and is surrounded by grass on all sides. If such a location does not rustle, reuse your PokéRadar until it is. This will not break your chain.
5. Repeat step four until you find a shiny. You can use items between battles to maintain your Pokémon HP and PP.

After 20 battles, you have maxed out your Shiny chance. After 40 battles, you no longer risk breaking your chain based on grass distance however, having grass tiles around a spot is still important.

[steel flare]

if that was to answer to my issue, that has nothing to do with the issue

[hardy idol]

and the answer lies with having nintendo fix the bug which has been since they released the pokeradar

[steel flare]

what?

I've never had this issue playing before

[hardy idol]

if you are wanting a actual fix. its a common issue that people have

[steel flare]

aside from the other guy in general, I'm not finding anything about this searching

issues with instant encounters, wrong pokemon showing, etc, but not "no battle" on touching the sparkles

I correct myself, 2 others since 6.7 have asked about this but one was never answered and the other was answered by one of the tech mods who was unsure of why it was happening or how to fix it aside from trying the pokecenter fix-it guy

[frozen grove]

95% of radar issues are user-error. There is a small chance for the chain to randomly break as well.

[steel flare]

the chain is not breaking. It's not even trying to chain

[frozen grove]

And assuming you’re talking about when I told someone to try the help man, randomizer is exempt from all normal radar issues. Randomizer has its own set of issues and is (generally) incompatible with the radar

[steel flare]

going for ANY of the grass patches is turning up randomly empty

[frozen grove]

If you’re talking about Festive Fahbar in #general I helped them in DMs and it was indeed user-error

[steel flare]

what was the error?

[frozen grove]

They weren’t using an additional repel

Now if you’re having issues and want to be more specific as to what’s happening, be my guest.

[steel flare]

when has repel been mandatory with poke radar?

[turbid terrace]

Hey @steel flare! Looking for the Pokéradar? You can obtain it from Professor Oak's Assistant on Route 24, but she only appears after you meet her in the Cerulean Pokécenter.

When you use the Pokéradar, a repel automatically activates and grass will shake. This indicates which tile the Pokémon is in. If you are having issues with the encounters fleeing or need more info, use the Wiki Page: Wiki LINK

[neon vine]

I tried and it still doesn't show up, (we talked about how my monsterhunter sprites dont show up in the game and u told me to come back to you if steps 2-7 didn't work) thanks man

[frozen grove]

It is in this game for chaining

[steel flare]

I'm understanding the sense of it, but I was playing a fresh install earlier this year. Repel wasn't needed with the radar and the encounters weren't vanishing

[frozen grove]

From what I’ve been told by people who have successfully shiny hunted several mons, repel has been needed for a successful chain for long over a year

[steel flare]

and lvl was not an issue since I was running around route 1 with a lvl 41 meganium

I'm not trying for a chain. I'm trying to discover all the mons in the area

were there changes that were made to the radar itself?

[frozen grove]

There haven’t been any changes to the radar. I thought you were talking about chaining

[steel flare]

No. I'm just merely trying for encounters

[frozen grove]

Okay so what, you go to the sparkle and there’s nothing? You’re the first person I’ve heard with that issue

[neon vine]

🗿thanks

[frozen grove]

If you hadn’t noticed, I’m having a completely separate conversation here and I haven’t had a chance to read through your issue and Mordrid isn’t online. Be patient.

[neon vine]

No worries I was messin around, thought it sent through.

[frozen grove]

?tag resetcache || try this first. If they still don’t show up, I’ll just give you the altdownload

[pearl magnet]

For missing sprites after updating, talk to the help man in any Pokémon center and navigate to Sprite Options -> Clear Sprite Cache.

If your sprites are still missing, check the pinned message in #tech-support titled “REGARDING SPRITE ISSUES”.

[neon vine]

Thanks, dont overwork yourself 🫡 I'll try it now

[steel flare]

@frozen grove figured recording and showing would be better

[frozen grove]

Are you on randomizer?

[steel flare]

yes

[frozen grove]

^

I did mention earlier that the radar essentially doesn’t work on randomizer

[steel flare]

then why was it working before?

[frozen grove]

Because this games bugs are stupid

[steel flare]

XD

that is a statement there is no argument to

"why did it work before"
"Rngesus took a liking to you for a short while."
OK so basically I just gotta deal with it

[tulip walrus]

Okay so, having issues downloading the latest update on my deck. Every time I run the .bat it tells me my folder’s current name’s not InfiniteFusion, despite it being in that folder. States the names just %currentfolder%.

Should I just redownload or???

[frozen grove]

Huh. That’s new what version are you currently on?

[steel flare]

It is never good when the tech person says "Huh. That's new."

Small bit of testing and I figured out what the radar was hating. If you run and immediately try to use it, or if you used it in to small of a grass area it throws the fit and will throw blank sparkles at you. Easy enough fix. Get into a fight and defeat the mon. Radar behaves as it should afterwards.

yet to encounter the issue outside of these parameters.

[tulip walrus]

Not gonna lie I think I know what I did wrong 🤣 I appreciate the prompt response! I don’t think it properly imported through emudeck

[frozen grove]

You can use emudeck for non-ROM games?

[golden patrol]

how do i extract the folder

i just got a computer so

[frozen grove]

Are you following our guide?

[golden patrol]

yes

i did the linux guide

but then once i tried typing the codes in terminal it wouldn't let me

[frozen grove]

[golden patrol]

i shall do that later on

[boreal elbow]

Does the shiny charm effect the red vs black star on a Pokemon.
Or does using the pokeradar even if you're not on a chain.

To my knowledge, this should be a full odds red star shiny

WHY CANT I UPDATE SORRY FOR CAPS

[turbid terrace]

Hey @wind fulcrum!

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

[wind fulcrum]

how do i see whitch version im on?

[tough hound]

i would just reinstall

[heavy badger]

so i downloaded from pokemonfuusion(dot)net and ran it is there anything i need to worry about i didnt run it for more then 1 min

[hardy idol]

?tag fakefiles

[pearl magnet]

Beware of Unofficial Websites That Claim To Be Official.

The only official sources to download the game are here, the game's subreddit or the pokecommunity thread.

To clean out your computer:

1. Delete all the save files from the fake files. It's not recommended to keep these, as they have bugs and fake data that the normal game doesn't have.
   🔵 Your game folder has a shortcut that you double click named Savefile to take you to the location to delete all save files. They are named File A.rxdata.
2. Delete any zipped/unzipped folders from there
3. Run a virus scan

After doing all the steps, use #downloads to download the real files.

@quasi abyss ff

are the custom sprites automatically in the game as of recent updates or do you still need to download seperate files and put them in?

[rigid silo]

by not mixing modes.
turn off randomized trainers if you activated that.

[idle bridge]

does anyone know the code for magic boots for cheat engine in the current update

[candid anvil]

afraid when it comes to codes like that you're on your own. the discord doesn't help with cheating. only the classic way of getting them with 501 captures of all the non fused pokes

[boreal elbow]

If you use the pokeradar, run into a pokemon you never seen before and catch it, said pokemon will still have it's greyed out sprite that was loaded from the poke radar instead of the normal sprite.
(assuming it goes directly into your party and you check right after)
This will go away after you leave the grass

[placid salmon]

Welp, now some spritesheets are randomly just not downloading even when I'm connected to the internet. Any idea what could be causing this and if there's a fix?

[verbal timber]

you likely hit the download cap

the game doesn't have infinite access to the repo where the sprite sheets are stored, it can only grab sheets sporadically

You battle or fuse
Game sends ping to the repo
X amount of sprites every Y interval get downloaded
Z cap is reached
Game is unable to send pings to the repo
Secondary Y interval triggers
Cycle restarts

[placid salmon]

ah........................
about how long are the intervals?

[verbal timber]

we don't know

[placid salmon]

ah.

[verbal timber]

Frog does, and he has chosen to not share

[placid salmon]

but is it in the range of hours or days or?

[verbal timber]

we also don't know that

[placid salmon]

anecdotally is there any idea

[verbal timber]

nope

[placid salmon]

i'm just trying to check that it really isn't an issue on my end since i just had a lot of connection issues recently and toggled the download option on and off a couple of times. it's on right now but i wanted to check that it really isn't a thing i somehow messed up acidentally

[verbal timber]

nope, it is something Frog had to set up with the new repo so we would avoid the same thing that happened with the old repo

[placid salmon]

oh okay then. thank you!

If your game is opening and immediately closing, you likely need to do a full reinstall in a new folder. DO NOT MIX OLD AND NEW FILES!

If you're using the Launcher:

1. Reinstall version 1.1.2 of the launcher from HERE (Yes, even if you're already on 1.1.2)
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
4. Install/Update the game files.

If you're not using the Launcher:

Reinstall the Lightweight installer in a NEW folder from 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. For all other platforms, refer to the installation guides for your device!

[boreal elbow]

So I was doing the pink island side quest when I got in to an encounter and the spear pillar music started playing...
For moment I was sure Palkia the pink dragon was going to show up but nope, was a love disk. Honestly couldn't tell you why that happened but it did.

[verbal timber]

https://tenor.com/view/i-dont-know-gif-18174494

[boreal elbow]

So apparently if you enter a battle after the grunts throw you out of the ||Diancie cave||, the next battle will play Dialga/Palkia's battle theme.
For the life of me I couldn't tell you why that happens on a technical level. But it does

[verbal timber]

likely will get chalked up to spaghetti code

[boreal elbow]

Also it plays durring the diancie fight. I could swear it doesn't do that durring the rocket side of the mission

idk if its my gpu or something else

[verbal timber]

it is indeed your gpu

either your dedicated one is too old and lacks support for opengl 2.0, or if you have a dedicated gpu that does support it, the game is for reasons I'm unaware of pulling from the iGPU on your CPU

Opened them to look at them, did not move a single thing

[severe patrol]

how do i add a randomiser?

[turbid terrace]

Hey @severe patrol! To unlock randomized mode: Create a new game, save in Pallet Town, and create a 2nd new game. More options will appear since the 1st save is locked to Classic Mode.

Our randomizer doesn't offer true randomization meaning each Pokemon or item you find is **not ** going to be random each time. Instead we offer the below for Pokemon:
Global:

• Makes it so that if Pidgey was randomized to Pikachu on route 1, all Pidgeys on all routes are Pikachu.

Area:

• Better randomization than Global. Makes it so that each route has their own randomized set of encounters.

For more questions on other randomizer settings, checkout the Randomized Mode Wiki Page

[sacred swallow]

it works thank you

[harsh spire]

Nevermind, fixed it. It was because of a custom sprite I had that the game apparently didn't like. I've removed it and things are going smoothly.
