Are you using the most recent version? It shouldn't be doing that on the latest build.

Also known as "Amaria's Gym is a war crime and violates the Geneva Convention, so I fixed it. This is an extremely simple mod that changes two main things. 1) It adds stairs to Fiore Gym's main room that just go straight up to the waterfall's at the top. 2) It adds warp stars to the first dive spot at the gym entrance that will take you to Amaria's location, depending on the route you're on, as well as stars at those locations which take you back. Why? Because I and several other people have found that the gym is exceptionally difficult to navigate because of the lack of reliable landmarks, as well as how spacial-nonconforming it is. While I love the design of the gym from an aesthetical standpoint, navigating it just isn't fun imo. To my knowledge, this shouldn't break anything. I didn't do hyper-extensive testing, but a friend of mine who was actively going through the game tested it on their first run of the gym, and reported no known issues, so here's hoping. https://mega.nz/file/998GTYaD#LLzXXpsLf4g9QX56s7PySIWb5Y2xD-zIahzoPsaqJ2w I might look into making an expansion upon this, where I edit other areas to make them a bit less tedious to navigate. I don't make any promises, but there are a few areas I'm looking at.

https://github.com/DerxwnaKapsyla/Reborn-Sandbox-Mod/releases/tag/v7 2 months late and several bouts of "I really need to fix as much as I can/I can't fix all of this theres too much to test" thoughts later, here's the e19 version, "finished"********. I need to stress, by several orders of magnitudes, this will be broken in some areas. I cannot say with good faith that everything is 100% working. I am relying on people with a keener eye. a more dangerous style of play, and more free time than I to really find things that are broken and will report them so i can judge whether or not it needs fixing. https://pokemon-reborn.fandom.com/wiki/Mod:Sandbox_Mod Documentation will be here. I haven't finished the page, lack of free time. This will eventually supplant the Google Docs sheet as the official documentation for the mod. Thank you all for your patience, hopefully it will be worth the wait!

Yeah that's exactly why I want to keep the lockout in place, because it's not really fair to those who are playing normally and going onto netplay to just shoot the shit to get roasted by people doing the equivalent of cheating, or to run into people who are just throwing around shinies that are technically illegitimate over wondertrade. I know a lot of people hated that the Official games's online functionality was a lawless wasteland because of that.

I don't plan to change how the lockout is handled, I'll just ask people to try and be considerate. Not yet, I've been busy with offline priorities and personal priorities.

So yeah, that's that. While Amethyst and I do know it's absurdly easy to get around the existing internet blocks, it's more of a small effort to try and ask people to be considerate. We acknowledge we can't stop the dedicated enough to get around the checks, but we want to try and make things as fair for people as possible. With that said, yeah, internet connectivity is staying locked in the next release of Sandbox. I apologize to anybody this may bother, but like I said, I want to try and keep things fair for people.

The plan would be to find as many places as possible like those to restrict Sandbox Access. I just havent had the time to look into every instance that does that yet.

I already know about the ways to get around the online play limitation of Sandbox, and was aware of them long before i even pushed the first build. Here's the thing though: The "Max IVs" password also disables online play. And anybody tech-savvy enough can easily mitigate that. Because of this, I haven't decided what I'm doing yet in regards to online play, that's something I'll be bringing up with Amethyst probably to see what she says. If she's fine with me turning online play back on, then I will. If she asks me to keep it disabled, then I will. Back when I first made Sandbox, I had always wanted it so players had access to the area regardless of where they were, but wasn't sure how to pull it off. Having it only accessable from those two spots was a result of lack of knowledge. The way it is now is in-line with what I wanted.

We would have to recode how the Portable PC works because it accesses the same type of PC as the Pokemon Centers. And I'm not sure yet, because there's a lot of features in there that still provide a massive edge over non-sandbox players.

So remember how I said it'd be out last monday at the earliest? (Did I say that here, I don't remember... Regardless.) Well, I'm glad I said earliest, because the day after Episode 19 released... Version 20 of Essentials came out, and my priorities COMPLETELY shifted I've been spending the past week, week and a half (idk time isn't real anymore when you work in a deli) updating my own projects. I haven't even been able to look at Sandbox, let alone make progress on it. Here's the current scoop: Most things are working, and they just require another once over from me. The problem is, there are some NASTY issues that crop up as a result of being able to access the Sandbox anywhere. So, I'm currently left with two options. Option 1) Release as is (once I finish testing some more), and hope people report issues where using the Remote PC to access Sandbox can break the game. I don't mean break as in "you suddenly have access to sandbox in an area where you wouldn't normally have access to the pc". I mean break as in "You can suddenly use the Remote PC during a Specific Postgame Sidequest and return to the overworld under very specific circumstances that you SHOULD NOT be able to, as a result possibly breaking the sidequest associated with it." Option 2) I release it to a very small subset of people who are willing to try and break the game for the express purpose of trying to fix these issues. I know what most people are probably going to say, but just in case I'd like to hear feedback. Because yeah the aforementioned issues can be pretty bad and game breaking.

This has been a bug since e19 came out, even in closed testing. It's fixed in my build, and will be distributed Eventually:tm:.

We've got this handled internally currently, so when everything is dont you won't need to worry about that! Not yet, but soon!

You all(?) asked for it, so here you go! The IV modifier has been turned into "The Geneticist", and they'll modify your Pokemon to its very fundamental levels. Though, there are a few things I need to remove from this menu. Namely, the Shadow Pokemon option, which actually breaks the game because Shadow Moves don't exist.

Please look forward to future builds of Sandbox, then! Please see the above comment: Bypassing puzzles has a chance to break the game if you aren't 100% sure of what you're doing. There is a text guide for the Giratina puzzle on the forums.

It is something I will consider, since there are a few things that still need fixing!

I'm looking into releasing closed testing builds of Sandbox for the purpose of breaking the game so I can find things that need fixing. We probably won't release until the full release of e19, or until I'm absolutely comfortable with the state of affairs. Some new things are coming, please look forward to it! It's definitely possible. I haven't looked into it, but you can already do it with debug options. If I just bound those functions to an NPC, it's doable. Whether or not I can (or will), is an entirely different story.

That's done in the current development build. Perhaps I should release a quick and dirty version that has some of the immediate fixes. That's the plan! I've also updated the Psychologist to use the one present in 7th Street currently, as it now handles nature selection manually instead of randomly (like it used to).

Well, for those of you on discord, I posted a brief status update, so I'll cross post the gist of it here; all the vendors now have the items relevant to them that were added in e19, plus a few tweaks here and there. We still aren't done, as the next step of my master plan involves updating the ev trainers into one ev trainer, because the ev hold items are super strong and with 1 battle against 6 pokenon you can get 192 evs in a single stat. EV grinding has never been easier.

A quick-ish and easy fix! But yeah, you have a point, haha. Hopefully once public release comes around we can speed through the remainder of fixes, because my attempts to get the internal names of items failed me, whoops!

I'm "around" in the sense that I've been away from the community for the past several years aside because real life has been really busy and demanding, but I've been keeping tabs on Reborn's releases. As for "abandoned entirely", see above- while I'd like to work on it consistently, it's very difficult when my free time is slaughtered.

(E19 Spoilers Ahead) Abra! Kadbra! And Alolomola! Your move tutors are now one fix more amazing! And by that I mean they're fixed. They were broken because the way tutors were handled in E19 changed. Simple fix of just copying the existing events and putting them in the Sandbox. Also fixed: Gen 8 Pokemon showing up in the Pokemon Generator. I'm sending @Waynolt my changes so he can push them all together. I don't know what all is still broken as I haven't finished post game yet.

I still need to beat E19 before I could even consider full updating/recreating Sandbox to E19. But even then, I have a full time job, so my time is basically gone. I can try and look into it eventually, but I make no promises at all. Besides! The spot where I put the Sandbox NPC is taken by another NPC! I'll have to find another spot for it!!!!

I'll look into it, thanks for pointing that out! Here's a mediafire link. Should work!

Merry Halloween folks! I come bringing a gift! These two droi- I mean, Patch 1.2 for The Mansion of Mystery! Since I've already gone over everything about 1.2 in the post above, we'll just skip the superfluous stuff and post the download link here. Enjoy everyone! The Mansion of Mystery (Ver. 1.2)

So, it's getting close to the most wonderful time of the year again. No, not Christmas. Halloween! And I've been burdened with unnecessary and distracting thoughts, such as "How can I celebrate the holiday season this year", and what better way to celebrate it than by making yet another patch for The Mansion of Mystery! That's right, there's another patch in-bound, and it's almost done. Just one last thing remains to be done for this patch before I can upload it. As such, you're probably wondering what that image above is, and how it corresponds to The Mansion of Mystery's latest patch? Well, for those of you who haven't been around on any discord server I'm on (or follow any of my social media accounts, which I mean, fair. Social media is exhausting.), then you'll be surprised to know I've upped my ante in regards to the Pre-Battle Vs. Transitions I usually make very roughly, might i add, and threw them into the game! Every single boss will have a unique Vs. Transition in a style similar to some of the modern-era Pokemon Vs. Transitions. However, that isn't everything I've done. While it (and another feature) is the main focus of this patch, I've tweaked a few things here and there that have been bugging me since 1.1, and even 1.0's, releases. You can have a change log of what to expect in the upcoming patch provided in link-format, and a handy-dandy image preview! Not a whole lot of stuff, and mostly small stuff at that, outside of the Vs. Transition update! I do have one last idea in mind for this project, but it will not be part of this patch. The process of implementing it will be daunting and exhausting and I don't want to hold onto all of these goodies so long that they expire, all in the midst of this most wonderful time of the year. Currently, I'm working on the last thing listed in the change log; an overhaul of the credits sequence. Since 1.0, I was never satisfied with how bland and generic-looking the credits sequence was. I have nothing to show for it right now as I've just started it, but the ultimate plan is to turn it into a cutscene event while the credits play out alongside it. I've already story-boarded how the cutscene will play out, so I just need to buckle down and get it done. Once that's done, I'll begin the process of uploading and releasing 1.2. As for that mysterious last feature I mentioned for the theoretical final patch? Well... I'll catch y'next when the patch is up. See y'all then!
