Report bugs and errors in unmodified Essentials version 21

[Telemetius]

Not sure if anyone had said this, but when updated to 16.2, Pokemon will stay in their Mega forms after battle. I tested it both in my updated game and in a clean version of Essentials 16 updated to 16.2 (I had to go in an add the Mega ring and Mega stone, otherwise unmodified). Tried with multiple Pokemon in my game, they do not "unmega" after battle as they did in previous versions. It still presents the option to mega evolve in the beginning of the next battle, but if you press Z, it just continues the battle as if you didn't mega evolve (and you're already in the form, so I guess you did).

Ok so in 16.2 this:

def makeUnmega
    v=MultipleForms.call("getUnmegaForm",self)
    self.form=(v!=nil) ? v : 0
  end

became:

 def makeUnmega
    v=MultipleForms.call("getUnmegaForm",self)
    #self.form=(v!=nil) ? v : 0
    self.form=v if v!=nil
  end

Switching back to the old piece of code will revert back your Pokémons to their unmega forms after battle.

That old code was changed because it caused problems. I didn't spot that the new code also doesn't work properly.

Use this:

  def makeUnmega
    v=MultipleForms.call("getUnmegaForm",self)
    if v!=nil; self.form=v
    elsif isMega?; self.form=0
    end
  end

Also use this:

  def makeUnprimal
    v=MultipleForms.call("getUnprimalForm",self)
    if v!=nil; self.form=v
    elsif isPrimal?; self.form=0
    end
  end

Im having a problem in 16.2 with the move copycat. I don´t really know if this was already reported or its not even a bug..just a problem of mine. Explaining:
- I was in battle with my pokemon against a bonsly, in mid of the battle I changed pokemon to charmander and bonsly used copycat. It will repeatedly use it without anything happening and I can´t proceed with the battle.
I believe its because I changed my pokemon instead of using a move so It won´t have anything to copy.
Or im just stupid.
SOrry Bad English as always.

The def pbRoughDamage in the Script-section PokeBattle_AI doesn't handle the Fairygem or the Pixieplate:

(attacker.hasWorkingItem(:PIXIEPLATE) && isConst?(type,PBTypes,:FAIRY))

(attacker.hasWorkingItem(:FAIRYGEM) && isConst?(type,PBTypes,:FAIRY))

Around line 3282, these both lines have to be included.

I tested with a kingdra against a Bonsly and, when I change Pokémon, the game works properly and it appears "But it failed!". I think that you have made a bad update of your previous version.

  end

I used your quick fix after noticing that the same problem was happening to myself and it's giving me a syntax error 1149. When checking the script it is the close for Primal Groudon and line 1149 itself is only "})" without quotations. Looking through all of Groudon's form change it is the correct amount of openings and closings and is confusing me as I didn't touch line 1149 I only made changes to lines 23-27 for Unmega and lines 54-59 for Unprimal.

 

[The Master]

Hey, Maruno. The quick fix you provided (ONLY for Primal) doesn't work, because Pokémon remains in its own form.

EDIT: The quick fix works properly, but there are some missing parts in def pbWildBattle, def pbDoubleWildBattle, def pbTrainerBattle and pbDoubleTrainerBattle. In particular, replace this old section (for all functions):

   for i in $Trainer.party; (i.makeUnmega rescue nil); end
     if $PokemonGlobal.partner
       pbHealAll
       for i in $PokemonGlobal.partner[3]
         i.heal
         i.makeUnmega rescue nil
       end
     end

with this one:

   for i in $Trainer.party; (i.makeUnmega rescue nil); (i.makeUnprimal rescue nil); end
     if $PokemonGlobal.partner
       pbHealAll
       for i in $PokemonGlobal.partner[3]
         i.heal
         i.makeUnmega rescue nil
         i.makeUnprimal rescue nil
       end
     end

I believe Shadow Mist is not working properly after all, even after Folle64 solution.
I´ve tried will a clean essentials 16.2 that I downloaded and in my game with Folle64 fix..seems not to be working.

I have no idea if this bug is specific to Essentials v.16.2 or if it's since earlier, but when using the FRLG-font,
all text in the game is displaced 1 pixel.

As you can see below, even though I'm using the Medium-resolution size, where everything SHOULD be at distances of even numbers, the text is placed 11 pixels from the top, as illustrated by the black pixels.

This is not the case for other fonts. Only the FRLG-font.
The other fonts are displayed normally at 10 or 12 pixels.

Is this a bug in how Essentials renders the fonts, or is it a bug in the font itself?

What is it supposed to do, what does it actually do, are there any errors (messages or odd behaviour)?

Sounds like a misalignment with the font.

Shadow Mist is a Shadow version of Sweet Scent. It lowers both opponents' evasion by two stages each.
In game simply nothing happens. User or enemy uses Shadow Mist and battle just goes on like no one used anything .

It doesn't work because I inverted the arguments' order.
The correct solution is (line 671):

ret=opponent.pbReduceStat(PBStats::EVASION,2,attacker,false)

I just tested it properly and yes it works.

So, I'm pretty sure this is an oversight, and it hasn't been reported in the thread so I'm reporting it: While editing the scripts, I noticed that Wonder Guard is no longer in the list of things to not get affected by Mummy?
Pictured is my copy of Faith & Prayer Version (on version 15 of Essentials) beside a copy of an untampered Version 16.2

As pictured, Wonder Guard is not there. I assume it must have gotten overwritten on accident (as PokeBattle_Battler has a huge amount of changes done to it, one oversight like this would be expected).

Edit: Disregard, I was just informed that apparently Mummy doesn't do anything to Wonder Guard in Gen 6 now.
I really need to thank Gen 6 for completely shaking up the game and making so many things obsolete knowledge

 

[Maruno]

Edit: Disregard, I was just informed that apparently Mummy doesn't do anything to Wonder Guard in Gen 6 now.

Is that a Gen 6 change, or has it always been the case that Mummy can overwrite Wonder Guard? I'm sure Bulbapedia isn't the best source of information, but it doesn't suggest that this is an effect that changed. The same applies to moves like Role Play and Skill Swap (ability-altering effects where there are exceptions) - I only went with the information I had, which I don't know if it's inaccurate in some cases.

I have no idea honestly, I checked Bulbapedia after I was informed. I'd check my own copy of X, but I don't have access to a Shedinja/Cofarigus or someone who has either.

I tested it with my omega ruby and Mummy still affects Wonder Guard.

...We know that. Bulbapedia says so. We want to know if Mummy will overwrite Wonder Guard in Gen 5 (BW/B2W2).

Who is "we"? Derxwna Kapsyla thought that Mummy doesn't affect Wonder Guard in the sixth generation and he wanted to prove this, so I assume he is unsure about that. I wanted just to confirm.

Anyway, I tested it again, this time with White 2 (Generation 5), and Mummy also affects Wonder Guard there.
