Some questions

Ramond Hikari · Mar 16, 2013

When I playtest my project, it compiles the data, and when it hit the Processing map X, the error pops. The first popup is this:

[EOFError, "End of file reached", ["Section058:2098:in `oldload'", "Section058:2098:in `load'", "Section146:2798:in `load_data'", "Section146:2798:in `getMap'", "Section146:2959:in `pbCompileTrainerEvents'", "Section146:2957:in `each'", "Section146:2957:in `pbCompileTrainerEvents'", "Section146:3976:in `pbCompileAllData'", "Section146:4071"]]

And the next popup is:

Exception: NoMethodError
Message: undefined method `events' for #<String:0xb8aced8>
Compiler:2962:in `pbCompileTrainerEvents'
Compiler:2957:in `each'
Compiler:2957:in `pbCompileTrainerEvents'
Compiler:3976:in `pbCompileAllData'
Compiler:4071

I don't know how to fix this error. Can anyone help me?

By the way, I also want to ask if the walking/running speed can be adjusted by modifying a script sector?

Thanks.

1. I don't know. Try remaking the problem map.

2. Yes. See the wiki.

Ramond Hikari · Mar 19, 2013

Thanks Maruno. Solved.
Oh, another problem shows up.
Somehow, the PokeDex keeps showing the Kanto Dex, even I have unlocked National with pbUnlockDex and locked Kanto with pbLockDex(0).

Any solutions? Thanks.

Bump this thread.
Anyone know the answer to my problem? I really need it. Thanks a lot.

Go into Settings and change DEXDEPENDSONLOCATION to false if you haven't.

Hm... I have tried it, but it doesn't work. Any other solutions?

FL · Mar 30, 2013

For my experience EOF generally means corruption. Try to replace the map with other (like the Essentials base kit) and test. Make sure that you make backups.

Ramond Hikari · Apr 1, 2013

Okay, I deleted the error map, and the problem is solved.
But the pokedex still not alter no matter what I do. Any suggestions?

FL · Apr 4, 2013

So you can't access National Dex? Try Rayd12smitty post using pbUnlockDex() without using pbLockDex. Make sure that you have, at least, one non-kanto pokémon as seen.

Yes, I tried it, but no, it still displayed Kanto Dex.
How could I make the National Dex the default one?

Maruno · Apr 6, 2013

You've been given all the right instructions, so it's probably something silly you've done.

Bear in mind that the name of a Dex has no bearing on its contents. It may be called "Kanto Dex", but it actually contains the National Dex. This is a simple matter of editing the array of Dex names in Settings.

Before you do that, though, you should pay attention to how that array works. All the Regional Dexes come first, and the National Dex at the end. The number of Regional Dexes depends on the maximum number of numbers in the RegionalDexes lines in pokemon.txt. That is, one line could read RegionalDexes=42 and another could read RegionalDexes=17,99, so the maximum would be 2 Regional Dexes. The first thing you need to do is decide how many Regional Dexes you have defined, and then make sure the array of Dex names is arranged accordingly.

If that's not the case, then you're simply doing something wrong and not telling us (such as using a way-old version of Essentials which doesn't readily support Regional Dexes).

A good alternative (idea by Maruno): Use a text editor with find and replace feature (to use replace all) like Microsoft Word. Replace the word RegionalDexes in pokemon.txt with something without effect like Dave, so the Kanto/Johto Dex will be ignored.

So is there a way to modify this and make the NationalDex show?

I have added pbSetViableDexes after endscene=true, then it works perfectly!
