Script: [v16/v17/v18/v19/v20/v21] Cable Club (Online Trades/Battles)

Any tips or tutorial to host for myself? I dont have a credit card, so I need to look for alternatives OR use something called Port Forward that I dont know what it means, I only saw that on my router config one time. Thank you!

Sorry, the only tutorial I have is the one provided in the manual. I don't have any alternatives that don't require a credit card. Port forwarding depends on your specific router, so the most I can do is link a general tutorial for it.

Hey I am pretty new to scripting but when I tryed the v18 version I get this error when starting the game.
Seems to be this code block:

if @discard_records == 0
        begin
          yield record
        else
          raise ProtocolError.new("Unconsumed input: #{record}") if !record.empty?
        end
      else
        @discard_records -= 1
      end

______
Edit: Fixing it with chatgtb gives me now this error

Replace the "else" (the one after the "yield record") with "except".

For the second error, we need to see the code before helping ^^

Yeah, that did the trick.

It's the code from the script here inside the "cable_club.rb" from the v18. I didn't change anything in the logic of the code. So I can't realy say what is wrong there. You can look into the file yourself if you want to take a better look or here is the part where the error appears:
(row 26 is @@onUpdateTrainerType = Event.new)

module CableClub
  HOST = "localhost"
  PORT = 9999
  
  ONLINE_TRAINER_TYPE_LIST = [
    [:POKEMONTRAINER_Red,:POKEMONTRAINER_Leaf],
    [:PSYCHIC_M,:PSYCHIC_F],
    [:BLACKBELT,:CRUSHGIRL],
    [:COOLTRAINER_M,:COOLTRAINER_F]
  ]
  
  ENABLE_RECORD_MIXER = false
  # If true, Sketch fails when used.
  # If false, Sketch is undone after battle
  DISABLE_SKETCH_ONLINE = true
  
  @@onUpdateTrainerType                 = Event.new
  
  # Fires whenever the online_trainer_type is changed
  # Parameters:
  # e[0] - the new online_trainer_type
  def self.onUpdateTrainerType;     @@onUpdateTrainerType;     end
  def self.onUpdateTrainerType=(v); @@onUpdateTrainerType = v; end
end

Do you have the file "Event Handlers" (or 003_Event_Handlers)?
You should have "class Event" somewhere, but not in a "module RPG". If not, you miss files.
The other explanation is that you may have placed the Cable Club file before the file Event Handlers. The solution is just to place it before Main but after all the other files.

You are right. Now it will find the events but I got another error. Where should be the pbEffect defined? I can only find the module PBEffects in my scripts.



The code is following with 1537 being alias _cc_pbEffect pbEffect

#===============================================================================
  # This move permanently turns into the last move used by the target. (Sketch)
  #===============================================================================
  class PokeBattle_Move_05D
    alias _cc_pbEffect pbEffect
    def pbEffect(attacker,opponent,hitnum=0,alltargets=nil,showanimation=true)
      if CableClub::DISABLE_SKETCH_ONLINE && [email protected]
        @battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("But it failed!"))
        return -1
      end
      return _cc_pbEffect(attacker,opponent,hitnum,alltargets,showanimation)
    end
  end

    end
  end

I don't have this code in my (editted) file. I have probably removed it because I found it useless ^^"
"pbEffect" no longer exists in Essentials V18. The function signature should be "pbEffectAgainstTarget(user,target)" instead of "pbEffect(attacker,opponent,hitnum=0,alltargets=nil,showanimation=true)". The valid code should be:

#===============================================================================
  # This move permanently turns into the last move used by the target. (Sketch)
  #===============================================================================
  class PokeBattle_Move_05D
    alias _cc_pbEffectAgainstTarget pbEffectAgainstTarget
    def pbEffectAgainstTarget(user,target)
      if CableClub::DISABLE_SKETCH_ONLINE && [email protected]
        @battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("But it failed!"))
        return -1
      end
      return _cc_pbEffectAgainstTarget(user,target)
    end
  end

You will probably have similar issues in your script.

Thanks. Game is working now.
Also any idea why I get this error in the server python file? The tm.txt contains entries like "OM_URSARING". Thats normal right?

[Vendily]

Bug Fixes for the Processor Script, DBK & Sketch online workaround
Fixed the issues causing incorrect data for Pokémon with forms to be saved in the server_pokemon.txt file by the processor script.
Also fixes the def moves= issue kind of technically caused by DBK if you allow Sketch to be used online.

Yeah i revised the server pbs format, you need to use the converter script. There are instructions in the manual on how to use it.

i read the manual and im block at the part when my log say "invalid party" and i try the command py cable_club.py --log=DEBUG but nothing happen... so i dont know where from the error, its possible one of my plugin make this error ?

the command makes the server log more data inti the server.log file, which you can open in any text editor. if you tried to connect to the server in debug mode, it should log the exact reject reason.
The most common cases is if you had one of the Essentials Deluxe/ DBK plugins installed, but didn't set the constants in the server correctly, because the game automatically detects if those plugins are installed.

I change by true all plugin i got but i think is not that this is what my debug say when i tried to use it but i dont really understand :/ But thanks for your help !

You have to open the server.log file, if you run it in debug mode, it'll tell you exactly the issue it had with the party. You can even post it here if you want me to look over it, but without that file, I can only guess based on common issues.

That what my server.log say when i try to connect online

That what my server.log say when i try to connect online

you need to run it in debug mode and try again.

 

[Xarrin]

Oh okay i think i got it with the debug (i dont know why but before he didn't want to show me all but this time yes) and its saying me i got invalid move, i gonna try to change that by myself ! thanks for your help and sorry to bothering you !
