can meloetta have a crest where i get one on my team

i hear it has a railgun.

good to know! i'll make a point to post more of them.

hey now don't get me wrapped up in this i barely know what this is either

you seem good

hi. i wanna talk about this first. you have no idea how frustrating it is to write up a big post about when e19 is going to be released only to have someone ask if it's going to be released. if you checked my comment, you would see that that's why it was locked. it is really difficult to overstate quite how completely disgusted i'd be with anyone who review-bombed starlight because it delayed e19. on top of being petty and selfish (as in the oft referenced SwSh case), reborn is free. a bunch of people have put a lot of time and effort into reborn because they like the game and want to make it better. this would basically be a slap in the face to all of them. we want more time to make the game better, among, like, all the other reasons.

i made an informative chart to help you with this problem.

i uh ok that's enough comments are locked

s'all good. something that's kinda been on my to-do list for a while is to get a more functional FAQ put together now that we have the new engine/other helpful tools.

there's a mac version that you should use.

what a giant mood.

nope. i can actually get some sleep.

:OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO i am incredibly sympathetic to this. trying to backport changes into e18 and having to work off of several different working copies has just been a confusing mess. this is something that i've noticed a lot, not only with regards to the compilation and data access, but also the fact that essentials uses [HP,ATK,DEF,SPD,SATK,SDEF] as the default order of stats. i've mentioned this before in my posts, too, but it really seems like the author was very much steeped in a C++ background, and while that's not necessarily inherently a problem, it means that the code is really not well-designed for an interpreted languages. okay, so this is the big thing. from where i'm standing, right now it seems like there are two major versions of essentials- there's the base one that you're working on, and there's what reborn runs, which is effectively just a branch of essentials 15. somehow we've gotta bring them up to date with each other. i don't know if you keep any records on specific changes (i sure don't) but it seems like the best way to merge the two is to bring reborn up-to-date, make sure that everything still functions (at least to as much of an extent as is reasonably possible), and then start integrating reborn's stuff into main essentials. i imagine the best time to do this would be after essentials 18 is done (since it sounds like you're pretty close to that anyway), though I don't really want to hold back any major optimizations/changes that may be useful until after that. i'd be open to coordinating some of that stuff in advance if you're open to it. i appreciate that you're open to this! hopefully changing how things are done will improve the engine for everyone's sake.

it's in the code. it's not in the game.
