    Hi there! 

    I'm a newb to this game. Recently, I'm having a problem with the side mission 'stealing a TV for a student' at Kiki's gym on the Aphellyl beach (Idk if the location's name is right or not). When I tried to steal the TV, a girl stopped me and made me fight against her. I beat her but then the game froze. The only thing I can do is saving the game but cannot move or open the menu.

    Please help me fix the game. Here is my save file:
     

    Game.rxdata


    Thank you so much in advance :D

    Okay, I've gone back through the stealing stuff, so you now have the tv in your possession. Replace your file with this one.

    Game.rxdata

    I'm having a problem with my save file. I went down in the Celestinine Cascade to get the totodile and my way out seems blocked by the strength block on the ice that i pushed west earlier, it's reset now and i don't have any escape rope, so as far as i can tell i'm just stuck down here. Help Ame! Thanks!

    Game.rxdata

    I've put you back in Agate circus as where you saved wasn't near any strength boulders. If you're okay with that download this file and replace your one with it. If you would prefer to be closer to wherever your going, can you go to exactly where you need the boulder moved save the game and then upload it, as I wandered around for a while and couldn't find the boulder you were talking about.  

    Game.rxdata

  3. Congratulations!!!

    I've been ridiculously impressed (and thankful) for your work in bug reporting in particular, as I haven't been helping out there with the frequency that I should and I realise that doing so much of the work with minimal support is quite difficult!

    Yet you've taken on the task with impressive dedication, and therefore your promotion was well deserved!

    So, welcome to the team once again!

    @mde2001 How do you guys actually unstuck save files? I've got RPGM myself and I'm just wondering how I could do it myself if I needed to. It would at least mean I'd be able to help unstuck-ing people here too

    It varies a bit, but everything relies on opening the game in debug mode. For the most basic things, its just opening up the game and holding down alt then moving them into a position where they aren't stuck anymore or going and manually doing something like lowering the water level in the WTC. Then for some things, you need to change game variables (the most common one example of something like this is fixing the Blake not appearing bug, in which variable 193 needs to be moved from 16 to 15). I've fallen a bit out of touch with some of the newer things (for example I generally leave Simon sidequest issues to Walpurgis and Njab, because I only ever worked out how to fix that once, and have forgotten since then), but generally you can work out the issue by looking at event triggers on maps. Sometimes people will have something completely knew which will require lots of playing around for sometimes upwards of an hour trying to work out what's wrong (although we haven't had anything like that for a quite a while), but generally its relatively intuitive.

    Hi guys, hate to ask, but I think I have a problem. My game worked fine one day, but now it won't even let me start the game. When I hit continue an error message box pops up with this message:

     

    "Script 'PokemonLoad' line 410: NoMethodError occurred.

     

    Undefined method 'UpdateMap' for nil:NilClass"

     

    Any help would be appreciated. Game.rxdata

     

    (Oh, and while I'm here, I also have the 'Corey Ring' problem, with it still being an item and not a Key Item, so no Skuntank event)

    That error is unfortunately a sign of save file corruption, which is something we can't fix. You should be able to use a backup save to fix it without losing much progress. You can find instructions on how to do this here.

    Once you've done that and everything is working there again, post that save file here and we should be able to fix your Corey Ring problem.

    I'm stuck at my first gym.

    Where do I go to grind? I can't seem to find anywhere worth grinding without getting poisoned every encounter....

    I'm dirt poor too, RIP. 

     

    Edit: Also, how long does it take to reach a daycare? ^^

    Grinding options are pretty limited for the first gym. Make sure you've explored properly and found every trainer, as there are quite a lot of them in various places. You'll get access to rebattlable trainers in the grand hall relatively soon (or its possible they might be there now, go back to the grand hall and talk to everyone to check). If not, you'll have to deal with wild encounters for now, but grinding gets significantly easier once you make it a bit further in the story. 

    You'll get access to a daycare within a few hours, although you do need to do a little bit of simple sidequesting to be able to use it once you get there (it will give you pretty clear direction on what this is. 

  7. Congrats once again Alistair! I'm sure you'll continue to do great things in your new position as you've already shown yourself to be a worthy choice in your week of lower responsibility! Remember, you can always ask any of us if you're unsure about anything. We want you to have as comfortable a time as mod as possible. 

     

    To Njab, thanks for all of your incredible service as a moderator. You've been such a consistently helpful presence in the community, and getting to see you move from member to local mod to global mod as a reward for your fantastic work was a great experience. We'll all miss you on the auth team, but I'm glad that your life will become a bit less crazy now.

    Glad you brought this up Ame coz there were so many advertisements swarming in and out 2 weeks ago or so. But, since the warning point reduces, they might abuse this feature or I hope not. I guess all us members will continue to report unwanted links, if found. It's the best we can do.

    The warning point change will make no difference to how we deal with spammers. We flag them as a spammer and it deletes everything they've posted so this change will only affect actual members who happen to violate the rule.

  9. Okay, we've updated the associated punishments. Here's the new list. These warnings only apply when the warnings are active (i.e. once your warning point expires you'll be able to request clubs again. 

     

       1WP: The user may no longer request clubs

        3WP: The user receives a week long moderator approval on forums, and a week long mute on discord

        5WP: The user is unverified on discord and loses ownership of any clubs they have

        7WP: The user is muted and on moderator approval until their point threshold reaches 0

        10 Lifetime WP: The user is banned from the community

    Game or game? and it isnt working with both im just gonna restart and hope next time i dont come across this bug...

     

    so much for 53 hours of playing and enjoying such a beautifully made game

    I've had a look at the file you were sent and it should be working. Just to clarify, in order to get the changes you need to download the  updated file, and rename it to Game.rxdata. Then copy it and paste it into folder where you found your save file, replacing your existing file. After that Blake should be in his apartment. If that still doesn't work I'll try fixing your issue and sending you a new file, just if for some reason the one you've been sent is doing something weird on your computer.

    Okay, so I was stupid and I deleted a save file and all its backups permanently by accident. I don't know if it's the right place, but is it possible to simply get a save file that is played up to right before the battle against kiki? I can work it out from there. Thank you!

    We don't have a supply of save files played up to certain points. That being said, individual people on the website might have something close to where you are. I'd post a status update and possibly ask on our discord server, if you're interested in joining that. Those things should maximise your chances of finding what you need.

    whenever i try to open reborn with this save file (i dont have a real backup, i'd need to play 10 hours to be where i was again). i get the error "end of file reached". is there anything you could do? redownloaded the launcher already so it has to be an issue with the file

    Game.rxdata

    That error is a sign of save file corruption, which isn't really something we can fix, other than by using back up files, which was why those should be creating automatically whenever you save. But if for some reason you don't have any back up saves then there isn't really anything we can do.

    I have two things I need some help with. My first is that on my file, I have the Silver Ring as part of the item slot. I think it's supposed to be with the Key Items. My other problem is with the grocery quest. I need a balm mushroom and I must have sold mine a long time ago, because I can't find one anywhere in the game. I've been trying to get one off a wild Paras, but with no luck. Could one please be placed in my inventory? Here's my save file. I'm not sure if I uploaded it properly.

    Game.rxdata copy

    I'm not sure what the file you uploaded it, but my computer doesn't think it is a rxdata file and therefore doesn't see it as a save file. Could you try reuploading it (if you need help with instructions for exactly what needs to be done look here)

  13. In terms of the beta, all ex ace members will be entitled to participate, but we're also planning on inviting some other members who have been consistently active and helpful with game related questions and problems, so it should be easier to get into the group now than it was for E17.

    I don't actually agree with this statement. If the auth were really against it, they would have stopped it a long, long time ago instead of letting it run for at least 4 years (probably 5 for all I know). It's more about a respect rule and also this joke went from rather harmless to basically only bringing harm and no humor to the table. There are now chains of discussion about it and people feel the need to explain it now in worries that someone might get offended. Nobody's ever got warning points for it and I doubt anyone will for making it, but this is more to address the issue so that we all can tone it back. Think of this as a self-reflection instead of pointing the finger at anyone. 

     

    One person being a butthead ain't gonna turn away a user from a site for good. This ain't about converting demons into saints or going on a witch hunt. If you're thinking about all the users who have been aggressive lately, just don't think about them. Only they can stop themselves from acting that way. Trying to force them to change is just going to make the matter worse.

    I've quoted the stuff I'm going to respond to here. 

    I've only been an auth member for just under two years, so obviously can't say what happened before that, but even in my time I certainly don't think we were always opposed to it. At least to me, the shift in opinion on it is mostly to do with the way it was delivered. It used to be more if someone asked a question on when E16 was coming out, someone would give them an answer, and then maybe put the joke in at the end with a ;) or something like that, then everyone would move on. Now people's sole response is jumping in with the "thanks for delaying it by a month" thing, which others immediately join in on, meaning that we can get five or six responses of people saying effectively the same thing with no-one actually giving the relevant information. So you're absolutely right in saying that we (or at least I) are not labeling anyone who has ever made the joke as being responsible for creating a negative community, as when it was done in the right way it was entirely harmless. However, the way it is expressed currently has become somewhat toxic and therefore unacceptable, and while I probably won't hand out warning points for it, if the negative trend continues we'll have to discuss options at a meeting and come up with a more substantial response, which is something I'd prefer to avoid.

     

    In terms of the second thing, I'm not sure if this point is directed towards the community as a whole or the auth team. If its the former, I mostly agree although I'd probably change "ignore it" to bring any major examples of toxic activity to the auth team (pretty similar in principle though). However if this is intended for us (if it isn't just ignore everything from here on), I've got to disagree on this one. A large part of our job is ensuring that the community is safe and enjoyable for everyone, and by ignoring aggression we're not really doing our jobs properly. While we can't convert people entirely, we can and should set standards of behavior when on our forums, and if they refuse to act appropriately then we can at least stop them from taking things out on others via disciplinary measures.

    For example, its great we know that there's a breakdown in programming the next episode (zero to 100%), but there is no transparancy after this. There are also enough questions regarding testing, tbh I don't even know the procedure.. is there a playthrough for ep 16 too 17? or are there also fresh restarts? For some stages it's understandable that there are no updates on testing (like the first 2 stages), but Alpha and Beta could give us more insight. A mod or dev could get the responsibility to make a tread every other week with found bugs, fixes, complecations, playthroughs and everything. Or expand the "100%" meaning. Even some teasing would be great? Like: a pokeball which could be TM psychic or earthquake or the megastone / bracelet).

     

    Anyways what i'm trying to say is: it would be swell for all parties to communicate more after the 100 % programming is done.

     

    This is a fair call, and definitely something I see as a good idea for next episode. It wasn't really something that was considered for this episode as the initial planned timing for the testing was a lot shorter than it ended up being. Obviously we don't want to spoil anything major, but a bit of new stuff wouldn't be too big a deal. I'd be down for showing off a few animations or something if the beta takes much longer. Thanks for the maturity in this feedback though! It was very insightful!

    I think that people should just ask google their fucking question first instead of asking things that are already told. I mean, for example, people love to ask questions about the solution of a puzzle or the location of an item that has already been the subject of countless youtube videos. It's infuriating but people do hate searching things on their own ^^.

     

    No-one is denying that it would be better if people searched for stuff. The issue here is how people respond when people decide to ask rather than researching. Nothing constructive comes from people venting their frustration at people who do this or just make a joke out of their query. If you're aware of youtube videos on a subject, you can leave the people a link, which is a really helpful thing for them, and makes the community more positive as a whole. People asking questions is a huge part of the point of our game related subforums. If you'd rather not give them the links, you're not obliged to, but the option if your not prepared to be productive we'd prefer you not to post anything at all.

    By the way, this response isn't accusing you specifically of targeting people. I haven't come across you being unpleasant at any point, the response was more about the principle of how to respond to frustrating questions.

  16. Honestly bless you for this announcement Ame. I've been feeling the need to express something like this for quite a while, and you did so far more eloquently than I would have. 

     

    Anyway, in reference to the "I do it in a joking manner" thing that's popped up a couple of times in this thread, while this may be case in regards to your intent and members of the community might understand that, to the new member all it does is make them feel like they're doing something wrong. Someone whose never been on the forums before has no real way of knowing that "it gets delayed every time you ask" is a running joke, and even if they do, having 10 people make the same joke about how new and inexperienced you are is never a good feeling.

     

    And honestly, laughter by taking cheap shots at new people for not knowing about how our forums work really isn't a great look for the community, and the fact that someone doesn't understand things now or they don't integrate straight away doesn't mean they never will. For example, my first post on the forum was in bug reporting when it should have been in troubleshooting, and was asking for help regarding an issue that had been answered many times. I got a friendly and helpful answer to my question which was a really fantastic first impression and encouraged me to stay. If seven people had jumped on me (even if it was jokingly) for the basic mistakes I made I can promise you I never would have seen this as a place where I could find a group of friends, and Reborn would have stayed as that place with the cool fangame rather than as a community that has had a profound impact on me. And in the end, there isn't that much difference between my first post and a lot the ones people get down on. While bug reporting is a more isolated community, as someone whose done a lot of stuff there I can promise you that people who make posts like the first one I made can be frustrating because once you know how everything works, mistakes seem stupid. But rather than unleashing this frustration onto the person, giving them the help they need and giving some advice on how they can improve in the future is overall a better solution for everyone, and might help some people who currently only are here for episode releases join our community. 

     

    So by all means, point out the people who make "when is E16 coming out I want it now" threads that we don't have a specified release date yet and that they can check out the development blog for updates. That's being a helpful community member. But to do this, sarcasm and injokes aren't needed, because while they might be amusing to you, they help to contribute to a really negative culture in our community, which to me is one of the main reasons why the number of new active forum users has dropped significantly. Who knows, if we start being nicer to people we might get more people willing to introduce themselves and come out of their shells like so many of us have done before them.

    Oh, that probably has something to do with the fact I fixed your files with E17 prealpha and now its trying to go back to E16 which has corrupted the files... I really should have thought of that

    I could've sworn I still had a copy of E16 somewhere on my computer but apparently I don't so there isn't a whole lot I can do about it. Hopefully Njab still has a copy around and will be able to fix your files without the corruption whenever he's next around. If not I'll redownload E16 and fix them for you. 

    Sorry for the delay and the problems!
