Looks like you didn't input a positive integer for line 531 in items.txt.

Looks like 531 contains just a comma, which isn't a positive integer (whole number), i.e. ≥ 0.

I believe (correct me if I'm wrong) that the Editor's item editor formats the file incorrectly. I did have the same error, though I didn't check to see if it was the Editor or not. (Editor as in Editor.exe)

531 was greater than 0. I read the damn thing and there is no extra commas.

Could you post your items.txt to confirm? Maybe another set of eyes would find something you missed.

Another intreseting story.

528,ASSAULTVEST,Assault Vest,Assualt Vests,1,1000,An item to be held by a Pokémon. This offensive vest raises Sp. Def but prevents the use of status moves.,0,0,0,

Is missing these " "

Correct version:

528,ASSAULTVEST,Assault Vest,Assualt Vests,1,1000,"An item to be held by a Pokémon. This offensive vest raises Sp. Def but prevents the use of status moves.",0,0,0,



EDIT, same thing for:
526,SACHET,Sachet,Sachets,1,100,A sachet filled with fragrant perfumes that are just slightly too overwhelming. Yet it's loved by a certain Pokémon.,0,0,0,

591,JAWFOSSIL,Jaw Fossil,Jaw Fossils,1,1000,A fossil from a prehistoric Pokémon that once lived on the land. It looks as if it could be a piece of a large jaw.,0,0,0,

check if there are more of them.

I will try that.

Wait, it still does not work.

Alright, I finally got around to testing my hypothesis on an unmodified version of Essentials V16.1

Go into editor.exe and create a new item. Close out and reopen the editor and it should give the compile error.

The best way for me to describe the error is with an example;


In the example, there is no plural of "Repel" after the Editor modifies "items.txt". What does this mean? It means that the compiler treats "1" as the plural for Repel, the pocket as "350", and then the compiler throws an error as it's trying to read the description of Repel as a number (because it thinks it's setting the sell price of Repel).

The fix? I don't have a fix for the editor at the moment as I am too busy to go through it's code. But, a simple work around is to manually add items via "PBS/items.txt". (Which is not optimal in the end)

As for your error, start by either adding the plurals into your items file, or grab a clean and unmodified version of "items.txt" and re-add all the items you made manually.

Edit:

Actually, your error is completely different. Just remove all the blank lines from your "items.txt" and it should work. The compiler doesn't like lines that do not contain an entire item's information.

I might study this.

I have the same problem. I tried to figure out what the problem is. So i deleted the items.txt file. And then the next problem were the berries file. And after that another. I think there is no solution for this problem.

But i know how to fix it. Just download and replace the whole PBS order and then it works. I don´t know why, but the main thing is that it works :D

OH MY GOD I DID IT! I didnt checked anything, just removing the word: Repels weirdly it worked now. Everything is actual, so I hope I can help.

P.S.
Well NOW its great fun editing 2530 items. :(

If I may recommend, use the latest version of Pokémon Essentials; v16.2.

Remove debug mode from the game
