    don't entirely know! i don't think we'll be deleting any moves entirely, especially for the sake of pokemon that haven't had their learnsets updated for gen 8 yet or whatever. but i also don't feel like i can make promises about stuff right now because of all of that is so messy

    as always, we'll do our best to keep to canon-- but now that canon has holes in it we don't know exactly what that means either.

    while no one is watching i plan to delete sky drop

    Great! Everyone is appreciated! Please though, do not forget to adress the movesets/movepol "issues", like certain pokemon not learning moves they should (especially from tutors). Cheers!

    I googled it and I found it was a (slightly modded) Dr. Seuss quote. 

    I have no idea whether it's really a random post emanating from too long a Discord chat or there's a puzzle to unravel here...

    Edit: Sorry for wasting your time, moved the app to the applications folder and game runs fine. (I feel so embarrassed for not looking in the page you linked in the post before posting)

    s'all good. something that's kinda been on my to-do list for a while is to get a more functional FAQ put together now that we have the new engine/other helpful tools.

    After the next version of Essentials has come out (it's currently in beta testing), I intend to put it on GitHub or GitLab or somewhere.

    I don't support older versions of Essentials simply because working with just one version is quite enough for me (and because I forget how older versions worked).

    i am incredibly sympathetic to this. trying to backport changes into e18 and having to work off of several different working copies has just been a confusing mess.

    The original creator of Essentials seemed very keen to make it work exactly like the GBA games

    this is something that i've noticed a lot, not only with regards to the compilation and data access, but also the fact that essentials uses [HP,ATK,DEF,SPD,SATK,SDEF] as the default order of stats.

    i've mentioned this before in my posts, too, but it really seems like the author was very much steeped in a C++ background, and while that's not necessarily inherently a problem, it means that the code is really not well-designed for an interpreted languages.

    My experience with developing this version (primarily a huge overhaul of the battle system) showed me that the current development process for Essentials is untenable. It needs a revolution.

    okay, so this is the big thing.

    from where i'm standing, right now it seems like there are two major versions of essentials- there's the base one that you're working on, and there's what reborn runs, which is effectively just a branch of essentials 15. somehow we've gotta bring them up to date with each other.

    i don't know if you keep any records on specific changes (i sure don't) but it seems like the best way to merge the two is to bring reborn up-to-date, make sure that everything still functions (at least to as much of an extent as is reasonably possible), and then start integrating reborn's stuff into main essentials.

    i imagine the best time to do this would be after essentials 18 is done (since it sounds like you're pretty close to that anyway), though I don't really want to hold back any major optimizations/changes that may be useful until after that. i'd be open to coordinating some of that stuff in advance if you're open to it.

     

    i appreciate that you're open to this! hopefully changing how things are done will improve the engine for everyone's sake.

    I always thought that e19 not being out yet was a product of the project as a whole being dead and discontinued.
