Pokemon Chronicles V18 Problems

Hello, players.

I'm receiving reports of some errors from this version, v18, and there are errors coming from the encryption of the game.

For ex: checking a pokemon in the pokedex. An error happears and the game crashes.

Pokemon essentials editor last version v17.2, is very good buy it has some errors that i thought that i fixed for good.

This errors don't happear when i run the debug mode, but when i run the encrypted mode, this mode is for players, the game has some errors and crashes.

The encryption is to prevent the players from stealing stuff from the game and the debug mode, is the open project mode, where players can see all the stuff used in my project.

So, i will upload a "raw folder" of the project for you to play, without the encryption thing. This will improve a little the gameplay and it will eradicate major errors or problems.

Please do not "steal" audio, graphics and other files without my permition, i spent many years on this project for those who wanted to play and enjoy the game.

If i saw my "stuff" and stuff created from my partners in other fan games, i will close pokemon chronicles further updates and support for players.

I credit all my partners in my game's ending credits, so if you want to use some stuff that i have for your fangame project, you must ask for permition and credit the stuff, instead of stealing it.
Note that this is a warning. I madded this game for myself and i released it for the public to enjoy without receiving anything.

Pokemon essentials and major fangames are in a "struggle" against nintendo, so respect the fewer and best fangames left in the internet. Its the best for everyone.

Thx for reading and for understanding. I will upload the raw version soon.

Hello, Payers.

I will upload pokemon chronicles v18 again in "raw folder" to fix major issues and reported problems.

This version don't have installer and encryption and majority of musics were "reconverted" to run better in some players PC.

Also, in will be only 1 part to download, because the reconverted thing about the musics.

The game's folder requires less disk space now.

Thank you for your work. Obviously reduced the nonfluency walking，But switch between two maps Replay pokemon and give me a obvious delay。
Finally, your production is really great. I like it very much.Can I use 3D's battles patches to play games while I'm playing?

when i capture Rattata
The game will breakdown.

Hello again.

I did a fix before i uploaded this last version of the game, and i forgot to fix a script line for pokemon forms.

Sorry for that and thx to report that. I must upload the game one more time to fix the issue for good.

Yeah, you will obviously see some few delay here and there on the game, i'm aware of it, but i can't improve better than that. RPG Maker XP is an old game editor that has a weak engine and some things i can't improve more than that, but, it's better this way than nothing, i guess.

If the creator of essentials, created a version for rpg maker mv, it will improve much better the game and i can add unlimited maps or regions on that new powerfull engine, developped by the enterbrain team. Also, that editor allows players to play games in various platforms, such ex: browser game, in phones with android system, i think tablets too, and in other platforms that i don't remember now.

I don't know if you can use 3D's battles patches at same time as my game, when opened, you can try, but at first glance, i think its ok.

Yes, in your game, I can use the 3D patch.
However, some chartlet will be displayed below, and they will not be able to adjust them.

For example

Its great to know that.

I only use the default system from essentials.

Elite battle system from Luka s. j. or that system, i will not use because, he will no longer give support on his work. And i don't know very well how they script this kind of systems, its a no go for me.

Hi, i noticed a few issues with this version of the game even if i'm enjoying it a lot.

It seems like you crash at the start of the game (in the battle against gary) if you choose one of the new character models, seemingly because they don't have a portrait picture to show in the big VS screen thing that happens before the battle.

Other than that, i've kind of become completely stuck and unable to progress as using an escape rope while inside of Pokemon Tower in lavender town teleports you into a wall on the bottom floor and prevents your escape: https://imgur.com/a/0jevvfY

I hadn't saved in about two hours so i decided to just save in that spot, then try to edit my save to move myself somewhere else, but that didn't end up working so i'm trapped there now

Thanks for reporting the issues. I will check them right away.

If you want me to fix your save game, please send me the save game file through the game's email.

Sorry for the trouble. I will fix the reported issues.

I founded what's causing your reported issues:

1- About the new gender selection system: Battle transitions where missing, and then the game crashes because it can't load this missing files. I forgoted to add them on the last update, sorry.

2- Pokemon Tower Escape rope error: I misplaced a part of the script method on the event at the entrance of the map. This issue can happen again in other locations as well. But i'm currently fixing the problem for all places.
I changed somethings in the teleporter events, to implement the updated back grounds transitions, that's why this happen.

It's hard to make all things alone, because i can forgot something or missed something. That's normal right? I don't have a team to test things before releasing updates. I normally test it myself and sometimes, oops. XD

I've sent over my save file to the game's email, thanks!

I think it is totally normal for small things to slip through the cracks though, you've created a pretty massive and really well polished game over the years as basically a team of one which is pretty impressive on it's own

Thx. Now i only have a scripter and a little suppor on graphics. But the majority of the work is madded by me only.

I will check the email. The fix is simple, but i'm afraid that you cannot use any escape ropes when inside of caves or structures such pokemon tower or power plant until the release of the next update.

I've found a couple more bugs, nothing gamebreaking this time though.

Bulbasaur seems impossible to get, i've come to the building with all kanto/orange island badges, space in my party, and every single pokemon in my party at max happiness (One is for sure at 255 happiness, and all of them have been given the friendship ribbon by daisy oak so they have to be above 250) and she still just says bulbasaur needs a good trainer.

Lycranroc sometimes changes forms for some reason, regularly the overworld sprite swaps between midnight and midday mode which isn't an issue, but completely randomly my Midday lycanroc changed into Midnight mode and hasn't changed back since.

Otherwise nothing too serious at this point, where i've reached the start of Johto. I'm still loving the game!

1- "BULBASAUR needs a TRAINER" quest: To complete this quest, you only must bring a Pikachu and the cascade badge like in pokemon yellow. The difference it's only the pikachu lv from pokemon yellow, it has to be lv20+. But, in my game, i don't apply the lvs condition.

Also, If you checked the key item journal, the quest already tells you, what you must do. There is no bugs here, i already checked the event and quest myself.

About the lycanrock forms, it was a pain in the ass programming it, i will check what's wrong about it.

Anyway, i'm planning to release a new update in the first days of February to fix lots of issues reported by the players and some minor game content. It will be a small update this time. Until then, i will check for errors, fixing others and doing more content. Thx for reporting the issues. This way i can always know if something needs fixing.

I've founded the lycanrock error and i fixed it for the next update, v18.2.
Also, i fixed the cry for the dusk form of it.

It seems that if you choose not to buy a tm in the goldenrod arcade the game crashes, unfortunately.

Oh! That'd explain it, sorry, that's totally my bad. I completely forgot the journal item existed

I will check the goldenrod thing.

How about this bug in my 1st time fighting Gary

Other players already reported that error. That error happears because it can't load some VS graphics from the new heroes, which are missing in v18.1. I already fix that issue for my next update v18.2, it will be released in February first days.

Only red and fire red girl have all the graphics, the new ones don't have the VS transitions graphics in that game version, sorry my bad. But, i can replace your heroe through save games, if you don't want to wait until February.

You can take a look on v18.2 update here: https://pokemonchronicles.forumeiros.net/t198-pokemon-chronicles-version-18-2

It's not fully completed yet, because, i will add more content until February.

Anyway, you can check what errors i already fixed for the next update v18.2.

I've encountered another issue in Hoenn, the jirachi wishmaker event in altering cave seems to break if you leave the cave after starting it but before beginning the battle with the purple haired villain. When you try and talk to him, you get two lines into the conversation before the woman walks up to him (if you're not standing between the two of them) and then no further dialogue will happen and you'll be stuck there, unable to move or open the menu.

I think the levels of the pokemon the villain has are a little unfair too, even being overleveled your pokemon should only be early-mid 20's by that point in the game, and all of his are lv30 on top of being some powerful fully evolved psuedolegendaries, and outright legendaries with his use of groudon. The reason i had to leave the cave and found the bug was that i had to replace my party with some of my higher level pokemon from other regions just to ensure i could beat him since my hoenn party was getting one hit-KOed by his pokemon.

I'm also not sure if there's an issue with the Spell of the Unown event, after defeating Entei (or, I guess, having him use roar on me in the first turn and instantly end the battle) and beating all the unown in the room I can't figure out where the "hidden chamber" is. I've finished the puzzles in all the normal unown rooms and unlolocked all the unown in the ruins of alph, but still haven't found this secret chamber

About the jirachi event, i will check it. The villain lvs, i'm aware of that, but this is a paralel event and it can be done later on the game, because, it isn't important for the main events or to unlock things. If i put lv20, it's not like a challenge for these kind of events, besides players can beat him later.

About the secret chamber, there is 2 parts about the chambers in Ruins of Alph:

1st part- players see the movie 3 intro an can do the Unown puzzles for all of the chambers.

2nd part- after completing the movie 3 events, behind the respective puzzles, the players must talk to the wall and the wall give you a unown message. Which you must figure out what you must do to open the hidden chambers, theres a total of 4.

In the kabuto puzzle chamber, you can see a scientist there, it is a hint. I'm sure that movie 3 events are well done without errors. I already fixed issues in older updates. But, the jirachi movie events was madded later, i've tested it too, but, i will see and test your point about the event.

V.18.2 will release tomorrow, if i have time. I completed all the things that i wanted to release in this update. So, you reported that errors just in time before i upload the new version for the game. XD

Ah ok, I think I understand how to finish the spell of unown event now, thanks!

Hopefully i can squeeze another bug report in before the update, since i've just found a pretty major one, that you can't enter petalburg from the left after you leave it, there's just a black void that prevents your progress from that direction. This makes it impossible to progress once you get the lavaridge badge unless you teach a pokemon fly, since pretty much the only way back is from that direction.

There's a similar issue if you leave mauville by jumping down the ledges on the left, but it's not really as much of a problem since you can just step on the non-ledge tiles and everything is fixed

The void thing is the limit of the map. Maybe the map teleporters aren't in place correctly.

I will check does errors before starting uploading.

EDITED: I founded all the errors and issues that you've reported and all it's fixed.

I'm playing the newest version and i'm confused on how i'm supposed to mega evolve? I'm in Hoenn now and only just gotten a pokemon that can use one of the mega stones i've been given, getting a charizardite X and a blastoisinite, but neither pokemon can mega evolve when they're holding their stone from what I can see. There's no button to do it like i've seen in other essentials fangames and it's not triggered on defeating one of an enemy's pokemon like Greninja's form change.

I do have both a mega ring and a keystone, though, Am i supposed to have done a quest to combine the two or something?

I've also noticed that the mewtwo Giovanni has in New Mauville doesn't mega evolve either which seemed weird since he's bragged about having the two mega stones for it
