    Player Cant Cross Into The Next Map

    I've been asked it often enough that it's in the wiki's FAQ. The main page of the wiki (link in my signature, and it ought to be in your internet favourites) states what the latest version of Essentials is, and when it was released. I'll make a thread here when the next version comes out...

    Player Cant Cross Into The Next Map

    The next version of Essentials fixes it. You could wait for that.

    Music Loop (MP3)

    The problem with ogg files is they take way longer to load than mp3s (I don't know if FModEx addresses this), which can end up being noticeable for whole tracks as the game freezes while the file loads.

    RuntimeError Message: Bad line syntax

    Is that the last species defined in pokemon.txt? Try looking at the previous species, as the problem may be in there instead (although I thought I fixed the error log section number). Open pokemon.txt in Notepad and disable word wrapping. This lets you see more clearly whether you've made a...

    Battle Modes

    Having multiple battle styles is a good idea. It keeps things interesting, and different styles can allow for different strategies and let different Pokémon thrive. What is notable is that all the battle styles other than singles are optional (as far as I'm aware). Even double battles will be...

    Story vs. Gameplay - How Important Is Each

    Bad gameplay is going to repel players more than a bad story. The vast majority of time spent playing a Pokémon game is the player doing their own thing, grinding levels and exploring, while story moments (relatively) infrequently punctuate this. The player will ALWAYS experience gameplay, and...

    This is what happens when you roll a natural 20 on your stealth check.

    You know how this works. An image is posted, and you have to provide a caption for it. The funnier the better. There are no winners or losers. There's just one image per week. We'll start with this one:

    Throwing Stories into the Wind

    Like so many others before you, you're going on an adventure! You've been given a Pokémon and a Pokédex by the Professor, you've tightened the laces of your running shoes, you've just finished recharging your Pokégear, and away you go! Unknown to you, though, the Professor had an ulterior...

    Movement stopping every tile

    That bit of code is intended to let you turn on the spot. It gives you a 2 frame window to let go of a direction key (after you've turned in that direction) before you start moving in that direction. It shouldn't have any effect on continuous movement. What you haven't done is stated a) which...

    Evolving from Effort Values

    That's not how the Tyrogue evolution methods work. They check the stat numbers themselves (i.e. the numbers you see in the summary screen), not specifically the EVs. However, they're very similar, and thus serve as something to copy for your own purposes. You should start, though, by properly...

    Entertainment Minecraft

    I enjoy Minecraft. I haven't played it for quite a while, and have only recently come back to it - I'll still only play maybe once a week or so. I'm currently playing the Agrarian Skies 2 skyblock mod, and I used to play a little on the PokéCommunity vanilla server. I prefer modded over vanilla...

    Shiny Pokémon

    I can see that shiny Pokémon have their purpose in the official games, which is to be a cheap (on the part of the programmers) way to reward the player for continuing to play the game long after the story has ended, and to keep them interested in the games. They're trophies, nothing more...

    RuntimeError when adding items to the bag

    Don't listen to @Aki, you used correct code. Firstly, check which pocket the item is going in. This is defined in the PBS file items.txt. Is the pocket number wrong? Secondly, start a new game. You may be using an old save file which contains a Bag with fewer pockets.

    tips for building a story

    I think the most important aspect is to design your story to be played. It's being put into a game, which means it'll be interactive. Fanfictions go elsewhere. The player should have some agency, some effect on the events in the game. Being able to influence what goes on is far more preferable...

    Tips for Making Fangames

    Over 800 Pokémon, you say? No, knock it off. Even 200 is pushing the limits. Aim for 150 plus maybe a few more.
