most of our text parsing happens per line, the string is split into a string for each line then read, if there is a newline at the end of your file or something it doesn't expect the parse will throw an exception and because it isn't handled it'll close the game

ANYONE EDITING THEIR SAVES SHOULD BACK THE SAVE UP BEFORE EDITING SO THEY CAN REVERT THE CHANGES THEY MAKE IF IT CAUSES A CRASH AND TRY AGAIN

Just like to point out that that wasn't the issue here
There was a whole jumble of nulls and stuff in there....
This is what it looked like:

that'd be the things it isn't expecting

what did you use to edit it btw, Daysofthenew690 ? it's just a text file so if you do stuff like this in the future use notepad, notepad++, most programming IDEs are decent for it too. if you used a word processor it probably added a bunch of formatting

Word processors would probably do that!

hehe, yeah that would definitely do it

i'm trying to get my little dev console thing into the game so ppl can just cheat crap in from the console instead of touching their save files and messing them up in a really unobvious way and the player has to sit there fixing the save because they can't play otherwise

there's a learnattack command i added the other day to help test attacks that basically acts like using a tm on a pokemon. just "learnattack|0,33" to teach 1st pokemon in party tackle and "learnattack|5,69" will teach last pokemon in party seismic toss. hopefully its in soon
