Report bugs and errors in unmodified Essentials version 21

Managed to fix the previous error I was getting by upgrading to the latest version of essentials.

So I tried adding in some new pokémon, but when I go to reposition the sprites using the editor, I get this error come up.
Exception: NoMethodError

Message: undefined method `width' for nil:NilClass

PokemonSpritePos:62:in `refresh'
PokemonSpritePos:181:in `pbSpecies'

EditorMain:236:in `pbEditorMenu'
EditorMain:234:in `pbFadeOutIn'
EditorMain:234:in `pbEditorMenu'

The editor then closes completely.

Also, when I enter battles, the battle screen is completely black, the name frames and text box are the only things that appear. for example,

I hope it's alright, but I'm bumping for a solution to this error, it's kinda halted the process of adding anything new in. :S

Edit: everything about the battle works fine, attack animations, health, etc go up/down correctly, it's just sprites don't show up/black background.

Spoiler:


For Rainski (sorry if spelled wrong)

I got that problem too, but i fixed it.

Instead of using

Kernel.pbReceiveItem
(PBItems::POKEBALL,5)

type it with the first parenthesis on the first line like this:

Kernel.pbReceiveItem(
PBItems::POKEBALL,5)

Is it spelled MRMIME in both shadowmoves and pokemon in the PBS folder?
----------------------------------------------------------------

Can anyone help with my problem?
 
I was having the same problem about the error with Mr. Mime's name but like you said about making sure they are both spelled the same fix the error they were different. Thank you.

You've changed something in Essentials, which means that this error is because of what you've done rather than it being something that exists in Essentials. At a rough guess, I'd say you were including mouse support.

When posting error reports, please condense them like I've just done! There's no need to include all those spaces. Copy the error report into Notepad first, and then into your post.
 
Can someone help me with this error:

Undefined method: length for nil:NilClass

it's trying to get a length out of nil, not sure why but that's the problem.

Yeah but it only does that when i use a newer version of the rmx-os script :S

If the player is given a move route in an event, they can hold shift/the button for running and run during those movement events, which looks kind of silly and feels unintentional.

I found a fix: In Walk_Run remove all '!pbMapInterpreterRunning? &&' and add one before '$PokemonGlobal.runningShoes &&'.
 
There's a glitch in the newest version of Pokémon Essentials relating to the fog. When the player walks up or down, it changes position oddly.

 
Ive noticed when you change the battlebg in the editor/PBS/debug menu that it makes the battlebg black even when named properly.

That is a known bug that hasn't been actually fixed yet.

A workaround however, is to open your projects' Metadata.txt, find the line battlebg="yourbattlebg", and remove the quotes.
 
So i put a new trainer in the MaterialBase but when i started the game i got this error:
Exception: NameError

So i deleted the trainer from the materialbase but i still got this error

That's a known bug, and I'll try to fix it for the next release. I think I know what the problem is (the fog's zoom isn't taken into account during the tiling).

Incidentally, this will no longer be a problem in the next release due to a change in how battleback file names are determined. The quotes will still show up in the metadata when written by the Editor, but they're ignored now.

Try restoring an original version of trainers.txt (and trainertypes.txt), and then editing them directly rather than mucking around with the Editor.

Double-posting, but for a reason. I believe I have the fix now.

In SpriteWindow, go down to about line 4784 and find the four lines with # ADDED comments at the end of them. Add in the "multiply by zoom" parts as follows:

Code: 
@__ox+=@__bitmap.width[COLOR=Red]*@__sprite.zoom_x[/COLOR] if @__ox<0
@__oy+=@__bitmap.height[COLOR=Red]*@__sprite.zoom_y[/COLOR] if @__oy<0
@__ox-=@__bitmap.width[COLOR=Red]*@__sprite.zoom_x[/COLOR] if @__ox>@__bitmap.width
@__oy-=@__bitmap.height[COLOR=Red]*@__sprite.zoom_y[/COLOR] if @__oy>@__bitmap.height
Let me know if it works completely.

Yep, that seems to do the trick! Thank you very much for the fix, Maruno!
