You may be outside-outside the tower, you need to be inside-outside the tower. It's the area after the puzzles.

 

That was it! Thanks for the quick reply. Love the mod !!

The following Pokémon can now be selected as Forms with the ChooseStarter mod and Sandbox mode, and also will breed and evolve into Alternate Forms without Plates if their main parent is an Alternate Form:

Charmander

So how would I go about spawning in an alt charmander with the choosestarter mod?

It should be that you take your starter from the table, go into the party screen and select ChooseStarter from the menu, then select the same species and it comes up with a form selection menu...

But it seems to have been broken with the ability limit tweak.

 

I'm not sure how to fix this right now, so for the time being I can offer two work-arounds:

1) Load v0.6.9 of Altforms to select your starter, then change to the latest version.

2) Use Debug Mode to change the Form of the Pokémon from the debug menu. It's 3 for Charmander (because of the megas).

 

I'm sorry for the inconvenience. :'3

 

Edit: Okay, I've found the problem in altforms and fixed it, it was literally a single missing 's' from FormNames in the Compiler. 

It, uh, seems a bit inefficient to make a new version to add a single character bugfix, and v0.7 is underway so hmm. Fixed for v0.7? Coming uh, not that soon... So I guess it's use the work-arounds for now. :'3

Thanks for the update! I'll be looking forward to seeing it!

Omg, what you’ve done is amazing!! I have a question about the Dreepy though. Can it be shiny? Dragapult is my favorite shiny so I do want to try and shiny hunt it...Tysm for making this!

Yes, it can be shiny!

Hey, I have a weird bug in the game. I got all the Golden Key Fragments, and I go to enter the place...and I'm frozen in place. I can't move or do anything. I run forward and I'm stuck, I can't pull up the menu or anything. What's wrong?

Okay thanks for letting me know!!

[LeafyRowlet]

Hi, sorry to ask again, but is there a way for me to only add the Gen 8 Pokémon and not the alt forms? I don’t have anything against them, I just already had a team planned and some of the typing are different. Also, when a new version is released and I have to redownload the patch, will the Pokémon from the mod disappear? Thank you so much!

Hey Bluetowel

 

I could go on and on about the praise for this game but i'll cut right to the chase. 

 

Scorbunny in the desert poke spot, doesn't run in a circuit, he just goes to the top of the map, and i can't see him unless I go to the out-of-bounds line and i can barely see his sprite but he's not moving at all. even if i go in the cave at the top and back out, he does the exact same thing, just runs from the top of the rock to outside the map bounds. 

 

I doubt this is intended. Any hints for a fix? 

 

TBH i just used debug mode to give myself one when I found the scorbunny since i spent like half an hour trying to chase this bugger out of the top cave to the top boundary of the map and said screw it.

I have the exact same problem. walk in, event starts, get stuck. If anyone knows a solution to this, i would be pleased to hear it.

Hmm! I had a quick look and found the problem, the event variable stopped updating halfway through the event. I'm not sure how this happened, I'll have a deeper look tomorrow and try to find a solution and a way to execute it from previous saves.

For now, the event can be repaired using debug to progress the variable (near the end of the variables list) from 11 to 13, but I can understand not wanting to fiddle with variables.

The normal Pokémon are still available as well as the altforms, so you can still use the team you have planned. No Pokémon will disappear when updating to a new altforms version, but when Reborn e19 comes you won't be able to safely play your altforms save without an updated altforms version (v0.8 probably).

I will likely include a toggle to disable NPCs and wild Pokémon being altforms, as well as Plate Interactions, in a later version to have a straight gen 8 experience. With my time more limited than before, it's likely to be the e19 version (v0.8) due to the way I imagine the coding to look for it.

Hey! 

 

It seems the circuit loop broke when I tried to make it a little more forgiving some patches ago. I'm sorry for the inconvenience. :'3

 

I'll try to fix all of these bugs for next weekend and get out a v0.6.12!

Alright, awesome! Don’t rush and take your time, ty again for making this!

[KingRyan]

Thanks for the relatively quick response bluetowel, 

 

Luckily I can just debug in a scorbunny and Dreepy for myself since the events are kinda broken, so it's not a massive issue. But I appreciate the thoughtfulness nonetheless. 

 

But I will still try debugging my way through the Dreepy event. Thanks for the heads up.

Hey Bluetowel, what is the name of the variable i am changing to "fix" the Dreepy event, and what should I change it to? 

 

When i break the red crystal wall and the event starts, i get locked in and don't have any way to open the debug menu.

The Dreepy sidequest should be working fine. That's the one to take down all the Monster Houses then return to the old man at the Onyx Trainers' School. He's in the computer lounge.

 

For the Ancient Shrine (the bugged event), I'm actually going to recommend not changing variables to bypass the event and get in. I'm adding a little something to the event with the bugfix. And more to come in v0.7 too.

Hello BlueTowel, I am brand new in learning how to write code for RPG Maker XP and I was simply trying to understand how to make Grassy Glide work in Reborn. Since you are working on implementing Isle of Armor content in your next version update, you might know how to code Grassy Glide. I found this post on pokecommunity from user silverlime:

 

Spoiler

Add this to Pokebattle_MoveEffects:

################################################################################
# Adds 1 to priority on Grassy Terrain (Grassy Glide)
################################################################################
class PokeBattle_Move_19D < PokeBattle_Move
  # Handeled in priority
end

Go to 'def pbPriority(ignorequickclaw=false,log=false)' in Pokebattle_Battle and paste the following under pri=@choices[i][2].priority:

pri+=1 if @field.effects[PBEffects::GrassyTerrain]>0 && @choices[i][2].function == 0x19D # Grassy Glide

Find p+=1 if user.hasWorkingAbility(:PRANKSTER) && thismove.pbIsStatus? in Pokebattle_Battler and paste the following underneath:

p+=1 if @battle.field.effects[PBEffects::GrassyTerrain]>0 && thismove.function == 0x19D # Grassy Glide

 

 

Do I just replace all '[PBEffects::GrassyTerrain]>0' with '[PBEffects::Terrain]=2' to make it work in reborn?

 

Edit: I see '$fefieldeffect' being used a lot. Do I replace all '[PBEffects::GrassyTerrain]>0' with that instead?

Hi! Yeah, it's pretty much '$fefieldeffect == 2' for Grassy Terrain. I have it coded but untested right now, I don't believe it needs to be in Pokebattle_Battle twice, but it does have an entry in pbSuccessCheck in Pokebattle_Battler for anti-priority effects (Dazzling, etc.)

[Dark Legend]

i love this idea! For my comming out soon pokemon game , pokemon revenge, im making regional variants too! let me know if u need any ideas!

Thanks! I've got more ideas than I have time to implement! It's a real struggle! 

 

Relatedly, this weekend might be too optimistic for v0.6.12, but I'm going to make it my coding session priority until it's done. It's going to have a little more than just bug fixes. :3

Thank you for the quick response! I defined the class in Pokebattle_MoveEffects and added the adjusted code into Pokebattle_Battle. I tested it on the starting area NPC that has a Bunnelby and it worked! ^^ Dazzling and Queenly Majesty are the only anti-priority effects in the game that would affect Grassy Glide in Grassy Terrain, right? The only other anti-priority mechanic I can think of is Psychic Terrain but it doesn't stop Grassy Glide entirely.

Great! Yes, it seems those are the only two needing extra code really. Quick Guard checks for priority itself.

Hey Bluetowel (or anyone) can i get some help with the bad eevee event? The only part of the quest I have encountered is

Spoiler

when Eevee raids the Candy shop and then I forgot what it said and lost track of the quest.

I only came across the Vanhanen puzzle because i was scrolling through the maps in the debug menu and found it and now I really want to try and solve it, but I have no idea how to continue or even start the quest. 

 

Also I don't need a full explanation if one already exists, if there is a guide or hints i could read, i would gladly do the research myself.

Here you go. :)

First part describes the quest line leading up to Vanhanen, the rest is walkthrough for the puzzle.

[KingRyan]

POG bluetowel you're the best. my only constructive criticism is: is it at all possible to make the lighting in the Vanhanen "mirror world" easier to see? the shader on the map kinda makes it hard to make out details IMO. 

 

Hope everything with the meds n the recovery n whatnot is going well. <3
