[Error] (V17.2) Need Help with hatching animation

[chaotixman]

Hi, i put some custom egg sprites into my game. But when the egg animation starts it shows me that error. I don't know what to do.

Thanks.

It looks like it can't recognize your custom egg sprites. Are you sure that they are named "XXXeggCracks.png", where XXX is the internal ID of the Pokemon, in the folder "Graphics/Battlers/"? Also, do you still have the default "eggCracks.png" picture?

Yes, i tried that. When i open the summary, the sprite looks okay. It's when it hatches that the message shows. I just tried to remove the custom sprite and it shows the same message. I have Elite Battle System in my game. Could it be that?

Hm, I'm not really sure if EBS would be causing the issue or not. You could try uninstalling it to see if that is somehow the issue. Can you show what lines 38 - 48 look like in the script section "PScreen_EggHatching"? Besides that, the only thing I can think of is that your graphics are not named properly or are not in the correct folder, but if you're absolutely sure that they are correct, then I'm not really sure.

Here it is.

That looks ALMOST the same as default Essentials, except the file paths listed in lines 39, 41, and 43. This is the default Essentials version of lines 39-45:

    crackfilename=sprintf("Graphics/Battlers/%seggCracks",getConstantName(PBSpecies,@pokemon.species)) rescue nil
    if !pbResolveBitmap(crackfilename)
      crackfilename=sprintf("Graphics/Battlers/%03deggCracks",@pokemon.species)
      if !pbResolveBitmap(crackfilename)
        crackfilename=sprintf("Graphics/Battlers/eggCracks")
      end
    end

So in default Essentials, you would place all your egg files in "Graphics/Battlers/", but it looks like you need to create a new folder WITHIN "Graphics/Battlers/" called "Eggs" and place your egg files in there.

Or were you already trying to add the "Eggs" folder yourself? In that case, I don't know why it wouldn't work, but you could consider using the default Essentials version by replacing lines 39-45 with what I showed above, then putting the egg files in "Graphics/Battlers/".
