Blue Shards: have you been south of Ocean Coast, through Staryu Valley to Serenity Seaside? There's a building at Serenity Seaside called the UB Playground. There's a room at the UB Playground with a shard machine in the middle and a group called the Ultra Beast Despair Girls. After defeating the Ultra Beast Despair Girls, you can interact with the machine to get Blue Shards. In order to get past the entrance of the UB Playground, you need the Sea Star Diploma, which you can get by completing a quiz at the Sea Star School. Alternatively, Blue Shards can be found through mining. Norall City hide and seek:

Sorry for the late reply. I thought I would get a notification when a post was made in this thread, but it seems like I wasn't following it like I thought I was...I did merge a few threads in here last month, so maybe merging threads removes followers because a new URL is created? Either way, sorry again for not seeing this until now. I actually only even saw it now because I saw that you viewed my profile so then I viewed yours and saw you posted here, who knows how long it would've taken if that didn't happen Anyway, here's your save file. I was able to get you unstuck by warping to a different map in debug mode. There was another person last year who got stuck here too, though I wasn't able to replicate it...I wonder what causes it to happen. It seems like you got stuck because the player character tried to move up and couldn't, but the only time the player is set to move up in that event is at the beginning. Game.rxdata

This NPC in Olidroll City Recreation District can change Toxtricity between Amped and Low Key forms. This is noted in the bug reporting thread, but might be worth mentioning here in advance: there's currently a bug where if you mega evolve Toxtricity, when the battle is over it always goes back to Amped form even if you had it in Low Key form. This is because mega evolutions are set to revert back to a specific form number after battles, and I didn't know what to do for a Pokemon that has more than one form.

I've heard that one solution for Mac/Wine is to delete the Audio folder, but there's another way that doesn't involve deleting them. I don't know the details myself, I just know that @SilverAngelus has helped people play Spork with Mac without needing to delete the Audio folder. If you're able to contact @SilverAngelusor if @SilverAngelus can contact you for help, your friend may be able to play on Mac!

I just checked and it seems it just holds Lagging Tail.

There's currently no way to change controls, apologies for that. A couple years ago someone asked and I asked if they could ask Ame how, and Ame did respond, but I haven't gone forward with doing it because of task-specific procrastination. I don't know why, but sometimes there's a specific task that I just can't find the energy or motivation in myself to bring me to do. I don't know what my brain's criteria for it is. Similarly, sometimes I'm too shy to ask a specific question to a specific person, which is why someone else had to ask Ame for me as I'm shy about asking Ame about game development stuff fear of bug reports related to switched controls. I feel like this might've happened with Reborn? but I'm not sure/don't remember the details, I just vaguely feel like there were a couple bug reports that couldn't be solved or weren't universal that were related to peoples' changed control settings, but I could be remembering wrong

I actually didn't know that Burmy was in specific forms in specific locations in Spork. I wasn't really knowledgeable about how Burmy and Wormadam's forms work in general. There's an NPC on the ground floor of Virima Hotel that can change their forms, though: If you want to find a place for Sandy Cloak manually, maybe the sand near the water at Virima City, or Bolaii Coastline, Bolaii Beach, Sand Castle, Weather Wonderland (Sandstorm), Premoggin Softlands, Premoggin Canyon, Dyserean Desert? Those are areas off the top of my head that have a lot of sand.

I haven't touched the Pickup table in Spork (I'm not sure where that data's located in Essentials), so it would be the default Essentials Pickup table, or at least Essentials v16.2, the version Spork uses. I'm not sure from which games that would be though. I apologize that that's as much as I know.

I'm glad you enjoyed the game and hope you enjoy the postgame too! Cool reptile team!

The area that Zoroark was blocking before is your next destination. Based on mentioning of barriers and black background, which don't exist on the map, it seems like the area isn't properly loaded for you on Android.

The flower pots are an optional sidequest in Celium Park. There are three things you need to do for everyone to be ready to go to Celium Park: Defeat the simulations at the Help Section (and talk to Emily after) Get chocolate eclairs for Delicia (talk to Delicia at the Food Section, then talk to the guard in front of the Undersea Volcano in the Help Section, then return to Delicia in the Food Section) Complete the tournament in the Battle Section

You'll still have your save file after updating, since it's stored in a different location in your computer. Also, I moved this from Troubleshooting + Bug Reporting to Topics since it's not about an error or being stuck.

After all the map revamps have been completed, I plan to add a notepad file for a walkthrough of the main story. Currently, I don't believe anyone's made a written walkthrough or guide for it. The closest for now would be watching Youtube playthroughs (many would probably be outdated due to map revamps and other updates, but you're getting close to where the map revamps end in the public release for now), or you could continue to ask here on the forum when you're not sure what to do.

If you get one of the answers incorrect, Couragi will appear and you'll be able to ask Couragi for a hint. Answers below, in spoilers so you can choose whether you want to continue solving them with or without the hints or if you prefer just having the answers:

I looked at the event page and everything seemed correct, then I tested by giving myself one of every plate and Arceus joined me, so it should be working. I guess I'd recommend double-checking your inventory to make sure you have them all. I feel like Pixie Plates might be less remembered than the others since they were introduced later.

I've merged this topic with your topic from yesterday about Norall's gym. Please keep in mind what Enigma requested. "If you have any questions going forward, please post them all within the same thread, so there aren’t multiple open threads at once." You're in front of the gym arena now. About not seeing the colors: is it that the tiles don't look like rainbow tiles to you, or you're just not sure which is which, or do you have color blindness? If you have a form of color blindness that makes the rainbow tiles difficult to see, I can try to give Couragi an additional explanation for color blind players in the future. Game.rxdata

Crolea also mentioned that the rocks from the avalanche near the mountain should be cleared by now. If you went here just above the gym before talking to everyone at the Pokemon Research Institute, the path would've been blocked by rocks. Now you'll be able to go to Norall Mountain.

Reuploaded fixing a glitch where using a sound-based move on a Pokemon with Punk Rock caused an error message

Reuploaded fixing a glitch where using a sound-based move on a Pokemon with Punk Rock caused an error message

I'm really glad you're enjoying Spork! I did some tests to replicate the error, and it seems like this happens when using a sound-based move on the Toxtricity. Punk Rock has two effects: increases the power of the user's sound-based moves, and decreases damage taken from opposing sound-based moves. It seems like I scripted the first effect correctly, but not the second one. I'll have to try to either fix this or remove the second effect today. I'll let you know when I've reuploaded fixing this. Sorry for the inconvenience. Edit: I was able to figure out the reason the error happened. The correct way to make a script about sound-based moves (at least in the version of Essentials I'm using, it may have changed in later versions) is "isSoundBased". The part of Punk Rock for increasing the sound-based moves had this correct, but the part for reducing damage from opposing sound-based moves had "pbIsSoundBased" instead. For the second part, when I originally scripted Punk Rock I looked at abilities with similar damage-reduction effects for the second part and changed the last line, which had different capitalization for other scripts and also pb before it. While I tested the first effect of the ability and it worked, it didn't occur to me to test the second part. I made the mistake of thinking that because one part of the ability worked, all of it did. Reuploaded with this fixed.

I'm happy to hear you're enjoying Spork and like the music! Here's the track that plays at Virima City: re Morning Run name: Some of the soundtrack names listed in the Audio folder have no relation to the tracks themselves. With the earlier tracks, after I added them to the Audio folder I would change the name to something that the track made me think of. I think it was around 2018 or just before then that I stopped doing that and kept the original names. None of the soundtracks were made by me or anyone else on team Spork, I look at music online for tracks I think would fit certain areas and battles. Some of them have also been suggestions from other members of the team or users of the site. Enigma has suggested a lot of tracks when revamping the maps. I think uploading the soundtracks is okay! There's another user, Vince&Sylveon, who's done that too. Although it's not complete yet iirc, his playlist does have a lot if there are other tracks you're looking for that are used in the game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMrrg4O2G-I&list=PL0084xKiQ9U8ckEvzfic_m7glkPOmiiJE
