Alolan Form Issue

    Hi!
    I just recently updated my game to 17.1, and as I was trying to put the Alolan Forms in the pokemonforms.txt, an error came up saying that [RATICATE-1] wasn't a species. I tried using RATICATE-1,but that didn't work either. Am I missing something?
    Also, is there a way to not have the lines separating entries in the pokémon.txt folder?
    Thanks,
    Ben
     
    Alolan formes is an alternative forme of a Pokemon. Therefore Alolan Raticate-1 does not belong into pokemon.txt Go to Pokemon_Formes on scripts and enter this script.

    MultipleForms.register(:RATICATE,{
    "getFormOnCreation"=>proc{|pokemon|
    maps=[2,5,39,41,44,69] # Map IDs for second form
    if $game_map && maps.include?($game_map.map_id)
    next 1
    else
    next 0
    end
    }
    })

    You may also give it Moveset, TMs, types, abilites, weight, height, dex entry and Move tutors.

    What exactly does the error say? And how exactly does your pokemonforms.txt look like?

    Alolan formes is an alternative forme of a Pokemon. Therefore Alolan Raticate-1 does not belong into pokemon.txt
    This is just partially true for Essentials 17.1. It is true that form don't belong in pokemon.txt but theres a new file called pokemonforms.txt, which he is trying to edit. So for 17.1 you don't need that script part (even though you can), for 16.2 it's exactly as you stated

    Here's the updated wiki page for the multiple forms
