Bug & Error Reporting for Essentials Version 11 (unmodified)

[P-Sign]

I've got a problem with the latest version of Essentials. Everytime I play test my project within RMXP the Debug menu keeps popping up. This only happens when I play test it from within RMXP, not when I execute game.exe .

I hope anyone can help me.

I've fixed that for the next release.

Have you changed anything in Essentials? That doesn't happen in the base version.



I really think this thread should only be for bugs that appear in clean copies of the latest version of Essentials. If the error happens because you've done something to it, then you can make a question thread about it instead.

[P-Sign]

I have changed no scripts involving the Debug Menu. Only PokemonField and PokemonPokedex are changed. I can eventually send the changes to you via PM.

EDIT: I've got the same error with a clean version of Essentials.

I hate to badger you, but do you have any ideas on the nidoran thing? because I found out a few more details.

It even happens when the nidoran is on your own team. I.e. I switch to my nidoran female and scratch no longer works right, but if nidoran is the first pokemon to come out, it doesn't happen.

Same thing still applies to Nidoran male too with peck.

I know it it shouldn't be this frustrating to me, but it is a very consistent glitch. If not 100% than a large majority of the time the conditions are met.


To sum up how to recreate the glitch:
-Get into a battle with a Nidoran(male or female).
-The Nidoran can be an enemy, or on your team.
-Switch pokemon during this battle.

Result: Nidoran Female's scratch no longer works correctly/Nidoran's peck no longer works correctly(the text is displayed but the move never launches, no animation or damage or message about missing). Growl and Leer are unaffected by the glitch.

Hope this helps narrow it down for you.
I looked the the PBS files for the pokemon and the file for moves to look for anything that stood out in comparison to others but couldn't find anything.

I have proved it in the previous version and there the same thing does not happen. But if it happens in the current version, it is something very rare.

Btw, I found a bug in the current version (and in the previous version), the move Curse it does not work in ghosts.

I don't get that error with a clean version of Essentials. It looks like you're the only one, because no one else has complained. I can't do anything about it.

I've replicated in this problem, using the following set-up:

- My team is NidoranF (Lv40) and NidoranM (Lv40). Both were generated at Lv10 for their movesets, then Debugged to Lv40 to survive battles.
- Get into trainer battle against Geodude, switch immediately to NidoranM.
- Peck doesn't work, not even after using another move.

I tried the same the other way around, but Scratch did work.

I'll have to look into it, because I'm not sure what the problem could be.


EDIT: The Nidoran that cause the problem have the ability Rivalry. The code for that ability is wrong. In PokeBattle_Move, go to line 389 and replace if agender==ogender with if attacker.gender==opponent.gender.

I told you I don't check these things!

[randomguy2476]

Thank you so much! I'll go see if it works now.

Edit: Sorry but, PokeBattle_move is not one of the PBS files. where is it and how to I edit it?

Edit 2: Nevermind, I'm an idot, I didn't even realize you could edit the scripts from that menu in RPG Maker XP. I'm all set now, Just gotta test if it works.

Did i do something wrong? How can i stop getting this error when at a name input screen?

So I tried adding in some new pokémon, but when I go to reposition the sprites using the editor, I get this error come up.

The editor then closes completely.

Also, when I enter battles, the battle screen is completely black, the name frames and text box are the only things that appear. for example,

I hope it's alright, but I'm bumping for a solution to this error, it's kinda halted the process of adding anything new in.

Edit: everything about the battle works fine, attack animations, health, etc go up/down correctly, it's just sprites don't show up/black background.

Instead of using

type it with the first parenthesis on the first line like this:

Is it spelled MRMIME in both shadowmoves and pokemon in the PBS folder?

I was having the same problem about the error with Mr. Mime's name but like you said about making sure they are both spelled the same fix the error they were different. Thank you.

You've changed something in Essentials, which means that this error is because of what you've done rather than it being something that exists in Essentials. At a rough guess, I'd say you were including mouse support.

When posting error reports, please condense them like I've just done! There's no need to include all those spaces. Copy the error report into Notepad first, and then into your post.

[tasmania12]

Since my mouse system was working perfectly before and i don't know what I changed, I thought I would just copy all of my data over to a new essentials folder and it works perfectly now, scripts and all.

Thanks anyway, though...

There's a glitch in the newest version of Pokémon Essentials relating to the fog. When the player walks up or down, it changes position oddly.
