An error with Pokemon's forms in battle; when a Pokemon with a second form is in a battle and if you have a Megaring, you can make a Mega-Evolution for obtain the second form. I use V.17 of Essentials.

Looks like there's a typo in the script Pokemon_MegaEvolution. Replace line 27

Code:

   return i  # fSpecies or 0

with

Code:

   return ret  # fSpecies or 0

That's ok, but the others forms return to the first form after a fight (I try in wild battle). Example: All Unown forms become the A letter.

An other problem (not important), when you delete a Pokemon with the debug in the party's menu, the game make an error;

That's okay, but all Pokemon's forms become the first form after a battle (ex: Unown become A letter). Shinies are not affected.

Other problem; in the Party menu, if you delete a Pokemon, the game crashed.

For the form problem I found this solution:
in Pokemon_MegaEvolution find def makeUnmega (around line 60)

and change

Code:

    self.form = self.getUnmegaForm

to

Code:

    self.form = self.getUnmegaForm if isMega?

That solved the problem for me.

I also noticed the crash when debugging Pokemon. It happens when you want to delete or duplicate a Pokemon.
The error message says this

There Seems to be a lot of issues with V.17 from just playing through the sample maps.

1.Pokemon with multiple forms will mega evolve into their first alternate form, and get stuck in that form permanently for all future encounters.

2.The 'Download a file' script in the player's room causes a crash that terminates the script, saves the game and renders the game completely unplayable after reloading, even if you re-open the save.

3.Cannot Debug Pokemon, deleting results in crash, setting a pokemon's heart gauge does not work at all, probably other errors too but don't want to go through them:

Spoiler:

4. Tripple Triad: Cannot purchase cards, assume I cannot play the game at all.

Spoiler:

5.Real world location script unsuccessfully executing (could be another problem?)

6. Battle arena upon using a randomly generated team

Spoiler:

8.Same for battle palace:

Spoiler:

Assuming there's a lot more. Unsure if a bug, as this is only my third day using essentials, but when scrolling through options, the cursor scrolls through them one by one instead of continuously when the arrow keys are held down like in the games.

Seems most issues stem from "undefined method" I had a similar issue pop up when trying to install the following pokemon script by MEJ71 got the following error:

After doing some research into how Ruby does things, I found a solution that seems to work.

In the Debug_Pokemon script section, around lines 775 and 789, replace "break" with

Code:

throw :done

Then, around line 794, replace the def pbPokemonDebug section with

Espurr does not exist in Pokémon Essentials. And, as the title suggests, this thread is only for bugs in unmodified versions of Essentials.

Vivillon, Furfrou, Pumpkaboo, Hoopa, all of Gen 6 are in Pokemon Essentials v17, even Aegislash works normally with their forms, only Meowstic that not. Thats why I said, but ok.

MikeYang, I think I understand the confusion here. Those pokemon you've listed do have defined forms in the loosest sense, but the pokemon do not exist in a clean v17 project. These definitions are just for the conditions that said form would be set in game. However, they do not include any base stat changes or new movesets, as these are defined in pokemonforms.txt. This is why Esper does not have the right ability, and Aegislash, if you didn't notice, does not change its stats, (though it may change its image, as that's completely unrelated)

Aaah, I see. Thank you very much :3

Whilest using Surf, if you go to a crest of a waterfall, the game hangs until you close it via task manager.

The fix provided on the "known bugs/old bugs" page on the wiki isn't applicable, as those lines aren't in the latest version of essentials. I'm using Windows 7.

Spoiler:

Code:

def pbPokemonDebug(pkmn,pkmnid,heldpoke=nil) command = 0 commands = pbPokemonDebugCommands catch :done do loop do command = scene.pbShowCommands(_INTL("Do what with {1}?",pkmn.name),commands.list,command) if command < 0 parent = commands.getParent if parent commands.currentList = parent[0] command = parent[1] else break end else cmd = commands.getCommand(command) if commands.hasSubMenu?(cmd) commands.currentList = cmd command = 0 else pbPokemonDebugActions(cmd,pkmn,pkmnid,heldpoke) end end end end end

(The only change is that I wrapped the loop in a catch block. Since the debug menu actions and the loop that displays them are in separate definitions, "break" doesn't work to exit the loop, so "throw, catch" is needed.)

Thank you. Just 2 things to notice. The first fix you apply (changing break to throw: done) has to be done as well for for line 789.

For the second fix: the code was messed up a bit by this forum. it should be

Code:

if command < 0

(the < was replaced with "& lt;"

I can't replicate this.

If I could get a hold of Luka S.J, I'd ask him about this, as I'm using the most recent essentials and the most recent EBS. However, I don't know if there's an interaction with waterfall in his script at all... It's only when I'm going down the waterfall, the game says the script is taking too long, it saves, I reload, and it continues me down the waterfall...

This thread is only for bug reports in an unmodified version of Essentials. You have EBS, so this is modified.

When using Spite it raises the following error message

Spoiler:

to fix this:
In Script Section PokeBattle_MoveEffects find

Code:

################################################################################
# Target's last move used loses 4 PP. (Spite)
################################################################################
class PokeBattle_Move_10E < PokeBattle_Move
  def pbEffect(attacker,opponent,hitnum=0,alltargets=nil,showanimation=true)
    for i in opponent.moves
      if i.id==opponent.lastMoveUsed && i.id>0 && i.pp>0
        pbShowAnimation(@id,attacker,opponent,hitnum,alltargets,showanimation)
        reduction=[4,i.pp].min
        pbSetPP(i,i.pp-reduction)
        @battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("It reduced the PP of {1}'s {2} by {3}!",opponent.pbThis(true),i.name,reduction))
        return 0
      end
    end
    @battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("But it failed!"))
    return -1
  end
end

and change this

Code:

pbSetPP(i,i.pp-reduction)

to

Code:

opponent.pbSetPP(i,i.pp-reduction)

An old bug: Larvesta icon (636) was a misplaced pixel.

In Essentials 17.1, if you use an accented e (é) for move or ability descriptions, it doesn't appear and ends up making words like Caf and Pokmon. Possibly affects more areas but seems to work alright in the main menu.

I'm looking at v17.1, and accented characters in move/ability descriptions definitely DO display properly.
