    • Hi, I screwed something up again...

    Exception: RuntimeError
    Message: Bad line syntax (expected syntax like XXX=YYY)
    File PBS/pokemon.txt, section 56, key WildItemRare
    Click to expand...
    I edited the pokemon file to add some new pokemons, but laso deleted a lot (no place in my game for more than ~140), to make a new "regional dex". Of course I changed "names" (numbers actually) of pictures in "Battlers" folder etc. However, this error keeps showing when I try to run Editor.exe, and I'm not shure what's wrong. I tried to even delete the whole"WildItemRare" for Pokemon number 56, but it didn't help. Do you have any suggestions what might be wrong?

    Also, did anyone find some inner tilesets, that would match Kyledove's D/P inner tiles? I have quite to few to be able to make some diversed rooms.

    Maybe you shouldn't edit things if you keep messing up with no common knowledge as to what you have done... Scripts are more diverse, but the txt files are easy!

    Message: Bad line syntax (expected syntax like XXX=YYY)
    File PBS/pokemon.txt, section 56, key WildItemRare

    This is your error... XXX means name, WildItemRare...
    YYY means it's missing or mispelt, more likely missing, I.E, the "=" sign...

    If you go to line 56, you will see the problem! Have a look!

    • I wasn't editing scripts, just the txt files. I thought I knew what I was doing :P.
    Well, so it refers to line 56? I was trying to find an error in Pokemon 56:laugh:. That's how I understood "section 56"...

    • It seems like I have to add "WildItemRare" without"=" to every Pokemon that doesn't have it. Which is pretty strange, since not every Pokemon has it in the original Pokemon.txt file. I guess I'm very talented at screwing things up...

    Moved this into its own thread. The bugs & error reporting is only for the unedited version of the latest release of essentials.

    • Sorry for making trouble. I thought it fits in that topic. Now I'm trying to figure out what's wrong with line 519:
    This is the error:
    Exception: RuntimeError
    Message: Bad line syntax (expected syntax like XXX=YYY)
    File PBS/pokemon.txt, line 519


    Compiler:1625:in `pbEachFileSectionEx'

    Compiler:1646:in `pbEachFileSection'

    Compiler:2229:in `open'
    Compiler:2229:in `pbCompilePokemonData'
    Compiler:4008:in `pbCompileAllData'
    Compiler:4133
    Click to expand...
    And this is line no. 519:
    Type1=PSYCHIC
    Click to expand...
    What can be wrong? Am I completely blind and can't see something totally obvious? I think everything is pronounced good...

    • Here it is. t's still "work in progress", since movesets, abilities, TM compatibility, pokedex text, and stats for Fakemons are screwed up.

    I glanced over both those posts and saw many a problem straight away...
    Your problem is you don't pay attention to what you're doing!

    [57]
    Type2-FLYING, is wrong!
    WINDLY,level,28, is wrong!
    [58]
    Type2=FLYIG, is wrong...

    These are not the only problems I can see, scrolling down, the next like 7 or 8 Pokémon are wrong...

    ELECTRiC also needs to be ELECTRIC, try and use capslock instead of shift, those are just errors I can see, not what I've searched for! If I can spot that, you probably have more!

    I think with the error message Bad line syntax (expected syntax like XXX=YYY), the actual problem could be in lines around the one indicated. Keep that in mind when problem-hunting.

    • Thank you, I fixed the errors you mentioned, but I just can't figure out what is wrong with this line?:

    I also can't find anything wrong with this line 519 or any line around it. I'm trying to pay attention to what I do, but it's kind of hard to notice everything yn the wall of text, especially when being a bit visually impaired (I'm not sure if it's the propper word). Even when you mentioned the errors, I still couldn't find them for like 2 minutes...

    Press CTRL+H, type in the top box, "level" and in the bottom box "Level", then click "replace all".

    After, again, press CTRL+H, type in the top box "ELECTRiC" and in the bottom box "ELECTRIC", then click "replace all".

    After, press CTRL+H, type in the top box "Type2-FLYING" and in the bottom, "Type2=FLYING", press "replace all"

    After, press CTRL+H, type in the top box "FLYIG" and in the bottom "FLYING", click "replace all".

    That should do the trick.

    EDIT: Basically, level needs to be Level... After you change Type2-FLYING, to the right line, you will not get that error any more!

    • Thank you. I already did everything you mentioned before (of course I checked once more now, just to be sure), expect replaceing "level" with "Level", because I didn't know this is the right form. However, I still get the same error.

    The bold line is infamous line number 519. This Pokemon doesn't have second, flying type. It only has one - Psychic. Then, I'm afraid, that error is caused by something else, but I just can't figure out by what...

    You have WildItemRare just on its own there. Delete it.

    • Well, before I added it to every Pokemon I was getting this error all the time:
    Exception: RuntimeError
    Message: Bad line syntax (expected syntax like XXX=YYY)
    File PBS/pokemon.txt, section 53, key WildItemRare


    Compiler:1625:in `pbEachFileSectionEx'

    Compiler:2229:in `pbCompilePokemonData'
    Compiler:4008:in `pbCompileAllData'
    Compiler:4133
    Click to expand...
    Section number was changing to other Pokemons that didn't have it, until I added it to all of them. I deleted it now just to try if it will somehow help, but I'm just still getting the old error about line 519:
    Exception: RuntimeError
    Message: Bad line syntax (expected syntax like XXX=YYY)
    File PBS/pokemon.txt, line 519

    My only answer to you now is, WildItemRare, needs to be removed... IF no "=" sign is present... Another thing you could try, is removing all WildItem***'s, The error is not with Psychick it's self, it's trying to read something as something else... I've attached a pokemon.txt with no Wild Item anythings, this works fine, to be honest, I would refrain from using wild Pokéon with items as your Psychick disapproves haha!

    EDIT: Make sure you remove "SOMEONE ELSES" from the name first...

    Also, make sure you've edited all .txt files with the old Pokémon like tm.txt and such, my Essentials error'd when I got to compiling tm.txt because I had Pokémon like CHARMANDER and such still, but this pokemon.txt file works obviously!

    • Thank you, It seems like I only have to fix the TM files. However, I wonder If I could make less TMs, and no HMs at all by simply deleting them from items.txt. Also i'm not shure, if changing TMs can be done just by changing the moves names in TM.txt file?
