Report bugs and errors in unmodified Essentials version 21

[Cyberglass]

An error with Pokemon's forms in battle; when a Pokemon with a second form is in a battle and if you have a Megaring, you can make a Mega-Evolution for obtain the second form. I use V.17 of Essentials.

Looks like there's a typo in the script Pokemon_MegaEvolution. Replace line 27

   return i  # fSpecies or 0

with

   return ret  # fSpecies or 0

with

   return ret  # fSpecies or 0

That's ok, but the others forms return to the first form after a fight (I try in wild battle). Example: All Unown forms become the A letter.

An other problem (not important), when you delete a Pokemon with the debug in the party's menu, the game make an error;

That's okay, but all Pokemon's forms become the first form after a battle (ex: Unown become A letter). Shinies are not affected.

Other problem; in the Party menu, if you delete a Pokemon, the game crashed.

Other problem; in the Party menu, if you delete a Pokemon, the game crashed.

For the form problem I found this solution:
in Pokemon_MegaEvolution find def makeUnmega (around line 60)

and change

    self.form = self.getUnmegaForm

to

    self.form = self.getUnmegaForm if isMega?

That solved the problem for me.

I also noticed the crash when debugging Pokemon. It happens when you want to delete or duplicate a Pokemon.

There Seems to be a lot of issues with V.17 from just playing through the sample maps.

1.Pokemon with multiple forms will mega evolve into their first alternate form, and get stuck in that form permanently for all future encounters.

2.The 'Download a file' script in the player's room causes a crash that terminates the script, saves the game and renders the game completely unplayable after reloading, even if you re-open the save.

3.Cannot Debug Pokemon, deleting results in crash, setting a pokemon's heart gauge does not work at all, probably other errors too but don't want to go through them:

Assuming there's a lot more. Unsure if a bug, as this is only my third day using essentials, but when scrolling through options, the cursor scrolls through them one by one instead of continuously when the arrow keys are held down like in the games.

Seems most issues stem from "undefined method" I had a similar issue pop up when trying to install the following pokemon script by MEJ71 got the following error:

Spoiler:

Script 'Followme' line 1431: Name Error Ocurred

undefined method `pbSwitch' for class `PokemonScreen'

After doing some research into how Ruby does things, I found a solution that seems to work.

In the Debug_Pokemon script section, around lines 775 and 789, replace "break" with

throw :done

Then, around line 794, replace the def pbPokemonDebug section with

Spoiler:

  def pbPokemonDebug(pkmn,pkmnid,heldpoke=nil)
    command = 0
    commands = pbPokemonDebugCommands
    catch :done do
      loop do
        command = scene.pbShowCommands(_INTL("Do what with {1}?",pkmn.name),commands.list,command)
        if command<0
          parent = commands.getParent
          if parent
            commands.currentList = parent[0]
            command = parent[1]
          else
            break
          end
        else
          cmd = commands.getCommand(command)
          if commands.hasSubMenu?(cmd)
            commands.currentList = cmd
            command = 0
          else
            pbPokemonDebugActions(cmd,pkmn,pkmnid,heldpoke)
          end
        end
      end
    end
  end

(The only change is that I wrapped the loop in a catch block. Since the debug menu actions and the loop that displays them are in separate definitions, "break" doesn't work to exit the loop, so "throw, catch" is needed.)

Vivillon, Furfrou, Pumpkaboo, Hoopa, all of Gen 6 are in Pokemon Essentials v17, even Aegislash works normally with their forms, only Meowstic that not. Thats why I said, but ok.

MikeYang, I think I understand the confusion here. Those pokemon you've listed do have defined forms in the loosest sense, but the pokemon do not exist in a clean v17 project. These definitions are just for the conditions that said form would be set in game. However, they do not include any base stat changes or new movesets, as these are defined in pokemonforms.txt. This is why Esper does not have the right ability, and Aegislash, if you didn't notice, does not change its stats, (though it may change its image, as that's completely unrelated)

Aaah, I see. Thank you very much :3

Whilest using Surf, if you go to a crest of a waterfall, the game hangs until you close it via task manager.

The fix provided on the "known bugs/old bugs" page on the wiki isn't applicable, as those lines aren't in the latest version of essentials. I'm using Windows 7.

Thank you. Just 2 things to notice. The first fix you apply (changing break to throw: done) has to be done as well for for line 789.

For the second fix: the code was messed up a bit by this forum. it should be

if command < 0

(the < was replaced with "& lt;"

If I could get a hold of Luka S.J, I'd ask him about this, as I'm using the most recent essentials and the most recent EBS. However, I don't know if there's an interaction with waterfall in his script at all... It's only when I'm going down the waterfall, the game says the script is taking too long, it saves, I reload, and it continues me down the waterfall...

In Essentials 17.1, if you use an accented e (é) for move or ability descriptions, it doesn't appear and ends up making words like Caf and Pokmon. Possibly affects more areas but seems to work alright in the main menu.

I'm looking at v17.1, and accented characters in move/ability descriptions definitely DO display properly.
