Adding new bag pockets doesn't work?

    • Hi again. So I checked out the Wiki's page for the bag and noticed that the only thing you need to do to add more pockets is add their names and properties in the script "Settings". I added two pockets and their properties without modifying anything else, but I got this error:
    Spoiler:

    Does anyone know what went wrong here?

    Did you start a new game, or reinitialize your bag? If not, your new pockets were not created in your bag yet technically, and you need to do that.

    • Oh, haven't done either yet. As I don't really want to start a new game, how would I go about reinitializing my bag?

    Go into the scripts and find class PokemonBag. In there, find def rearrange. Replace it with this code:

    Code: 
      def rearrange
    if (@pockets.length-1)!=PokemonBag.numPockets
      newpockets=[]
      for i in 0..PokemonBag.numPockets
        newpockets[i]=[]
        @choices[i]=0 if !@choices[i]
      end
      nump=PokemonBag.numPockets
      for i in [email protected]
        for item in @pockets[i]
          p=pbGetPocket(item[0])
          newpockets[p].push(item) if p<=nump
        end
      end
      @pockets=newpockets
    end
  end

    By the way, this attitude really won't help you. If the number of pockets is changing, the game is still being made, so any save file you have is for debug purposes which, while useful, can easily be recreated by debug processes. There's no good reason you would want to keep your save file while changing the Bag pockets.

    • Good point. I never really bothered to change the bag pockets around until now, and I was only really testing things like maps and Mega Evolutions, so I just kept the save file I had.

        end
      end
      @pockets=newpockets
    end
  end

    This was slightly incorrect, and messed up pockets for existing games

    I don't think so. You need to create a new Bag Object to reinitialise the bag data. Or then you'd have to go about with some jank way to save each individual bag item and add them to the new bag silently. Honestly leave the Bag Pocket update for an update where you are gonna add new Pokemon or something, because then the players are gonna have to start a new save anyways.
