v21.1 I Downloaded Gen 8 and Gen 9 Packs, but am having a couple issues (Sprite Sizes and this error)

[YustarRes]

First, the error. The error appears when I attempt to compile. My solution was to delete the "Generation 8 Pack Scripts" from the Plugin folders, which seems to then let me compile normally. But I'm a bit afraid that deleting that folder will cause problems elsewhere. What other solutions can I try?

[Pokémon Essentials version 21.1]
[v21.1 Hotfixes 1.0.5]

Exception: ArgumentError
Message: wrong number of arguments (given 2, expected 0..1)

Backtrace:
[Generation 8 Pack Scripts] Custom Sprite Scales.rb:119:in `compile_pokemon_metrics'

Then, for the sprite size issue, please see below. I'm unable to see any sprites. They're either too small or invisible entirely, not sure which. I tried switching into Gen 9, 8, and 1 Pokemon to see if it was specific to Gen 8/9.

Any and all help is appreciated. Thank you.

this might help with sprite size issue, but you will need to adjust their position
resized sprites from gen 9\8

What the version of the gen 8 pack?

What the version of the gen 8 pack?

v20.1 Generation 8 Pack for Essentials v20.1 v1.0.4

I have no issues installing the Gen 8 pack. I'm able to run the game, generate gens 6~8, see their sprites, etc. It's when I try to add the Gen 9 pack that I run into issues with the game running, compiling, and scaling.

Thanks! I'll try this

yea for some reason the gen 8/9 sprites are wonky and are pretty small
If you need, there is also a bulk sprite resizer if the sprites' sizes still aren't normal.

Probably the problem here is your version of essentials.

[Pokémon Essentials version 21.1]
[v21.1 Hotfixes 1.0.5]

You say you're using v20.1 of essentials, but as far as I know, the Gen 9 pack can only be used in v21.1 of essentials. The hotfixes that you seem to be using are also for v21.1 essentials. That might be the problem.

Or the problem is in Pokemon Metrics.

Sorry, to clarify, I'm using the most updated version of Essentials. The Gen 8 pack is the one using 20.1 Essentials, but it's running fine on my v21.1 BEFORE I add in the Gen 9 pack.

I know, I have it installed, I had to use it to adjust the size of The Teal Mask Mons sprites, the gen 9/8 sprites are small because they have a code to increase their sizes in the game, but for some reason it doesn't work

Why are you using Gen 8 for v20.1? If you looked at the discussion, you would have seen that Appletun's Apples commissioned Golisopod User to update the plugin to v21.1 and shared the link. This link will take you to said post:

Resource - Generation 8 Pack for Essentials v20.1

Hi, I'm sorry if this sounds stupid but I'm new to Essentials, the installation instructions say that I have to backup my current project if I have custom changes, since I have custom changes, I'm only wondering, how do I insert this pack into my current project? I want this pack on my project...

reliccastle.com

I think the download is only of the plugin but you have all the graphics on the v20.1 of the plugin.

Thanks, I didn't know that. I might upgrade the Gen 8 pack. The v20 Gen 8 pack works perfectly on its own though, so I'm not entirely sure yet.

Thank you, again.

That doesn't necessarily mean it's compatible. It could simply be that the Gen 8 Pack is overwriting code in v21 and replacing it with its outdated v20 counterpart. And when you install the Gen 9 Pack (which is expecting v21 code), it may be creating an error because the Gen 8 Pack reverted this code to v20 standards, but the Gen 9 Pack is expecting v21 code.

In short, always expect there to be discrepancies when using outdated scripts.
