    It has to do with shadows, because the message came up in an outdoor map and a map with a lightpost in it, also this is the September version of essentials, can someone please help me out?

    This is a well-known bug in Pokemon Essentials newer versions.

    It only happens on Windows XP from my experience.

    You'll find the solution to that here.
    And on a side note, it'd be cool if you removed the spaces and extra junk the error message introduces (as I did above) for the sake of readability/space.

    Answer me please *bump* :D

    but add more question, is it only lagging in new version? because when I use the old one, (I think) doesn't lag

    I think it's just a problem with the new one. I'd recommend holding off on using new versions right when they come out until there's been time to find and correct problems with them (although some versions remain unusable anyways). Besides, there's usually not a whole lot added to make it worthwhile to constantly upgrade.

    @Dexta: look for Maruno's post on the last page (or maybe the page before). He provided a link for whatever kit he had.

    @Himalama: Is that from an unmodified kit, or were you adding new types or something like that?

    For anyone who somehow can't look back a couple of pages for the download links I've provided, I have now make a page on the wiki specifically for them: Essentials downloads. A reminder is also in my signature.

    Please contribute by providing mirrors for the downloads - Megaupload won't keep those files up forever! More versions would also be nice, but priority should be given to newer ones.

    Thank you so much for this! :)

    I have a pretty basic question, but it's been bothering me. I want to use the HGSS text box, but when I import it in place of the fr/lg one, and the r/s one, it doesn't change in game. What file do I replace to get it to work in game?

    No, I'm not using that version. Just try using that and see for yourself if it lags or not.

    In the script SpriteWindow, go to line 7 and you should find this:
    Code: 
    TextSkinName="frlgtextskin"
    Replace "'frlgtextskin'" with whatever skin you want to use. I'm pretty sure that's what you're looking for.

    Or you could just rename the skin to frlgtextskin.

    I did replace "frlgtextskin" with the HGSS one, but it still shows up as the original one.

    I am trying to make a gif for the game's intro. But it won't play. I read in this thread it needs to be a png. How do I make a gif a png?

    I made a new trainer type, and it has Shadow Pokemon. But whenever I open the editor to add the Snag ball, and it starts "compiling trainer data" I get this error message:

    PLEASE edit your error messages to remove unnecessary spaces!

    Your problem is that you haven't followed the required layout. Just before you start listing the Pokémon, there should be a line that shows the total number of Pokémon that trainer has (along with any items the trainer has).

    Furthermore, you've put the "false,true" part in the wrong place.

    Use the following:

    Code: 
    CIPHER

ARON,12,,,,,,,false,true
STARLY,5
    The empty parts in Aron's line are for the IVs, held item and known moves - leave them blank to ignore them. You can't just get rid of those blank parts, though.
