I'm getting an error when I launch the game

I'm getting an error when I open up the game...How can this be fixed ?

[Vince&Sylveon]

What were you trying to do before the error popped up?

Did you save in Aliora Meadow? For some reason, saving there has caused this error to happen on loadup for a handful of people.

 

If you post your save file, I should be able to load your game from my end and send your save file back. Instructions on how to upload save file if needed, this guide was written for Reborn but works with any fangame: https://www.rebornevo.com/pr/save/

 

Additionally, for future reference, this kind of post belongs in the Save File Troubleshooting thread.

Actually, I looked back at those errors and they're not the same. Both the Aliora Meadow one and this error have P_Field, but the other details are different.

I got the same error when I loaded up your game. Interestingly, if I open it in RPG Maker instead of just from the folder, the error message is different. 

 

I tried saving on my save file in the Battle Frontier and didn't get the error, so I'm not sure what's causing it. I apologize for speaking too soon about the kind of error it was. Do you remember what you were doing the last time you played before you got the error on loadup? I'm wondering if we could figure out what caused it by retracing your steps.

Well I redownloaded the files thinking there was some sort of update, I saved the game at BF, and then just replaced the old folder with the new one I downloaded from here. And then when I opened it up, that happened

The first thought that's coming to mind is that I've heard once in a while when people download fangames, not all the files are fully downloaded in the folder for some reason, and that it's usually fixed by redownloading. If you can try downloading again, do you still get the error after redownloading?

When you download a new file, do you delete the old one and use the new one, or do you take the files from the new one and put them in the old one?

the latter...why ?

I could see how that could cause conflict with the files. Maybe old ones are still remaining in the folder. If you try downloading a new folder and deleting the old one completely, only using the new folder, does that still cause the error?

You saved at the Battle Frontier, did you do anything at the Battle Frontier before you saved? When I tried loading up your save file after I sent it, opening it normally just caused the crash right away, while opening it in RPG Maker I was able to select your save and the crash happened when it loaded in the Battle Frontier. I remember that some of the tiles in the Battle Frontier on your file were missing, there was a void of black space on some parts of the screen. 

 

Come to think of it, I've seen voids of black space like that before when some people play Pokemon fangames in Joiplay. Are you using Joiplay or do you play on PC?

The last thing that's coming to mind at the moment, did you ever activate debug with one of the trees in the Pokemon Centers?

I literally just used fly to Battle Frontier and saved the game there so I could play it later. And when I did open it, the error happened.

I did some searching on Google for the type of error, and wasn't able to find the exact same, but did find a few that were mostly similar. (instead of undefined method "name", they were undefined method "*" or ">")

 

Reading through threads of those errors, they were caused by old map or tileset data, and the game erasing tiles that don't exist. I'm unsure why something like this would be happening with the Battle Frontier, because I haven't made any recent changes to the map or its tileset, but stranger errors have happened. 

 

Since this error isn't the exact same, just mostly, I can't guarantee this will work, but I've attached the Battle Frontier's tileset to this post. If you download this file and put it in Graphics -> Tilesets, replacing the one already in there, does the error still happen?

Those were all the ideas I had  I apologize for being unable to figure out the error and for all the progress you made...Hopefully another way can be found in the future.
