Report bugs and errors in unmodified Essentials version 21

[Maruno]

I found the source of this bug. It's an AI miscalculation, and happens only to wild Pokémon about half the time (regardless of which moves it knows). It'll be fixed soon enough.

if a pokemon breaks out of a safari ball, after having been fed with a bait or thrown at with a rock, it's sprite will slide down behind the players control bar. it stays there for the rest of the battle. this happens in a clean version.

Happens to me too, it also happens if a rock is thrown instead or in addition to bait.
It does not happen if a ball is thrown without using bait or rocks

 

[Maruno]

Yep, that's a bug with the new animations.

Using the "Fill Storage Boxes" command in the debug menu throws this at me

OK

Edit: This is actually because I have too many pokemon. Only 720 slots available by default. To solve just change this number here to higher in your settings

STORAGEBOXES = 24

I get this error when I enter a map with a berry that has grown (in a clean version of Essentials 15):
Exception: NoMethodError
Message: undefined method `addUserAnimation' for nil:NilClass
PokemonBerryPlants:333:in `setGraphic'
PokemonBerryPlants:151:in `initialize'

PBEvent:54:in `trigger'
PBEvent:49:in `each'
PBEvent:49:in `trigger

I don't know what caused this error but I think it has something to do with Poison Heal, I was in a double battle and suddenly this error message popped up. It didn't crash the game but weird things started happening. Like the foe didn't switch in any new Pokémon and the same for me. This is the error:

Exception: NoMethodError

Edit: There's also something wrong when playing a random cry, I deleted the code and it worked (Line 78 and 79 in Scene_Intro)

 

[Diverscope]

If you go through the Pokémon Summarys in the storage box and the box itself isn't full (There no 30 Pokémon in it) you will hear the Cry of the last Pokémon everytime when you press the down-button.

Example: You use the debug command "Fill storage boxes" and go to Box 22. If you select genesect and view his summary screen and press down, you will hear his cry again and again.

When you see the move relearner's graphics, the image reminderSel.png is too up.
To fix this, in the script "PokemonMoveRelearner" after the line 65 (@sprites["background"].setBitmap("Graphics/Pictures/reminderSel")), add "@sprites["background"].y=78"

 

[mej71]

Shortly under this in PokeBattle_Battle

# Initialize opponent in single battles

this

trainerpoke=@party2[0]

should be

trainerpoke=@party2[sendout]

Otherwise, there's no point in checking which pokemon is the opponent's next able choice.

After an egg hatches, the BGM of the map the player is in doesn't start playing again unless the player leaves and re-enters the map. Any way to fix this?

After line 'def pbEndScene' add line '$game_map.autoplay'.

If you didn't already notice it yet, in def pbRoughAccuracy (in the AI), Hustle has a slight bug. Add the red part

if skill>=PBTrainerAI.highSkill
        accuracy*=0.8 if attacker.hasWorkingAbility(:HUSTLE) &&
                         move.basedamage>0 &&
                         move.pbIsPhysical?([COLOR="Red"]move.[/COLOR]pbType(move.type,attacker,opponent))
      end

 

[Savordez]

There also seems to be a small bug with some abilities (Vital Spirit, Insomnia and the Leaf Guard + sunny weather combo). In PokeBattle_Effects, around line 23:

    if hasWorkingAbility(:VITALSPIRIT) ||
       hasWorkingAbility(:INSOMNIA) ||
       (hasWorkingAbility(:LEAFGUARD) && @battle.pbWeather==PBWeather::SUNNYDAY)
      abilityname=PBAbilities.getName(self.ability)
      @battle.[COLOR="Red"]pbDispbIncreaseStatplay[/COLOR](_INTL("{1} stayed awake using its {2}!",pbThis,abilityname)) if showMessages
      return false
    end

Change the red part to

pbIncreaseStatplay

Really simple fix. Feel free to make me look like a dumbass if something's wrong.

If you write an email and you give it to a pokémon, when you read the text is on a single line

 

[mej71]

In PokeBattle_Scene, in def pbSwitch(index,lax,cancancel)

this

# Fade out and hide all sprites
 visiblesprites=pbFadeOutAndHide(@sprites)
    pbShowWindow(BLANK)
    pbSetMessageMode(true)
    modparty=[]
    for i in 0...6
      modparty.push(party[partypos[i]])
    end

should be

# Fade out and hide all sprites
    pbShowWindow(BLANK)
    pbSetMessageMode(true)
    modparty=[]
    for i in 0...6
      modparty.push(party[partypos[i]])
    end
    visiblesprites=pbFadeOutAndHide(@sprites)

Otherwise it makes a weird flicker when going to the party screen in battle.

I found a error when adding pokémons to a new trainers battle in external editor (fresh version 15.01 essentials)

EDIT:

It seems the EditorScripts.dat from 15.01 doesn't work.

I replace the EditorScripts.dat with V15 or V14 and now works well.

 

[Oskise]

When fighting a Smeargle that knows One-Hit KO moves I get this error, I think it's something wrong with Moody:
Exception: NoMethodError
Message: undefined method `pbTooHigh?' for 1:Fixnum
PokeBattle_Battle:3327:in `__clauses__pbEndOfRoundPhase'
PokeBattle_Battle:3325:in `each'

PokeBattle_Battle:2339:in `logonerr'

It makes me unable to switch in a new Pokémon after it knocked out one.

I found a possible bug in PokeBattle_AI. (Present in both v15 and v15.1)

At 2 instances it checks whether "[PBEffects::StealthRock]>0", while [PBEffects::StealthRock] actually is a boolean. I fixed it by replacing ">0" by "==true".

EDIT: Sorry, this was from v14, and was fixed in v15.

Wherever you found that, it wasn't in v15 or v15.1.

 

[Badhaas]

You're right. My bad, it was v14, I didn't double check it. (and besides that, it also doesn't need the ==true)

 

[mej71]

Not sure if this counts as a bug or a suggestion, but if you have custom evolution types, and don't also apply those custom type names to the editor(which I didn't realize I had to do), when you use the editor it saves them with "Custom 2" and such. It'd be nice if it wouldn't do that
