  • I was implementing the Fairy type into my Pokemon Essentials game (Latest Version, no modifications except one pokemon, the PBS data for Shadow Pokemon, and the type itself) But I get an error when I try to test run it and it gets to 'Compiling Type Data' saying.
    Spoiler:

    The window stays open, but is at a blackscreen and never actually runs. The same thing happens when I run the Editor App. but when I run the game separately from RMXP's editor, It loads to the title screen, but when I press past it I immediately get a different Error
    Spoiler:


    Here is the text from the PBS data that seems relevant to this scenario, If something else is needed, please tell me!
    Types:
    Spoiler:


    Pokemon:
    Spoiler:


    Worst Case Scenario is I can wait until Generation 6 is officially implemented, But I really would like to know what I did anyway, as to avoid any possible future problems!
    Thank you in Advance

    I know in the Gen 6 add-on project they have a fairy type types.txt file. As for what's wrong here, I don't know, but I did notice that "isSpecialType" is true. This line shouldn't exist. I don't know what else it could be, though.

    Thanks, Taking the line out didn't change anything, but I added the GEN6 stuff, and the problem went away, thanks for the help!

    If you want to learn from your mistake, you can try reading the error message. It says something about an undefined type, and mentions FIGHT. Somewhere in types.txt you refer to a type whose internal name is FIGHT. However, you don't have any types whose internal name is FIGHT. You've got one with an internal name of FIGHTING, but that's not the same. It's a typo.

    Oh I see, that's pretty dumb of me, but I'm really grateful you could point that out, so I know it was something I did, and not some sort of mystery error!
    So thanks!
