gamemode fishing will only let me get magikarp

[Scruffy3Janitor]

so, ive been making my own maps and, when i link up a .POKE file to it, everything works fine BUT the fishing. whenever i used any rod, it yielded magikarp, who was not supposed to be there. does anyone know how to fix this?

Which Fishing Rod are you using? An Old Rod will almost always (if not completely always) fish up a Magikarp.

i used the old, and super rod as a test. and i PRESET the .poke file, so it SHOULD yield what i ask it. it works fine on the vanilla maps, but mine wont let me set the fishing. even when i DESET the fishing pokemon from the .POKE it will yield magikarp and its been annoying me as i eventually copied over a script and rewrotte the pokemon data. it STILL DID NOT WORK

do you know how they work, because even the vanilla .POKE file failed in my maps for fishing, but nothing else

The rods are indicated by Action ID 3, 31 and 32 in the .poke files.

this is what it looks like; ill just put it up, and you will see that NOTHING IS WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!
the code:
name=Desertside Resort
type=City
{2|753|80|-1|1,15}
{2|754|80|-1|1,15}
{32|756|20|-1|1,10}
{32|753|50|-1|1,10}
{32|754|50|-1|1,10}
{32|755|30|-1|1,10}

how i see it turn out in game(so the result of the code):
name=Desertside Resort
type=City
{2|753|80|-1|1,15}
{2|754|80|-1|1,15}
{3|129|100|-1|1,15}
{31|129|100|-1|1,15}
{32|129|100|-1|1,15}

i read through the wiki to find out the id's, so that part isnt the problem here...

you there, because i see you on

Do any other wild encounters on that map work? Like the surf encounter you put in there as well.

yes, i said this at the beginning; all that WONT work is the fishing
so, was there a special method you used to set that up, the same thing happens with headbutt trees for me; except they dont yield anything

 

[nilllzz]

I think I found the bug, it's checking if the .poke file exists in the Pokemon\maps\poke folder when initializing fishing, but it doesn't look in any GameMode folders.
The level 20 Magikarp servers as default fishing encounter.

ok, can you fix this; also it is the same with headbutt trees if you can, so check on that too while your at it

 

[nilllzz]

No, it's a bug in the game, there's no special way. The only reason it works in the default GameMode is because the game explicitly searches there for the .poke file.
And yes, I will fix this. Until a version with a fix is released, you can test if the .poke file you created is correctly configured by copying it into the Pokemon\maps\poke\ folder. It will be loaded from the non-default GameMode as well then.

actually, with that you are wrong; sorry to sound a bit snobby at that, but i got my test gamemode i made to sucessfully edit all aspects of the .poke file. i could edit the pokemon freely with it, i just want to tell you all i know about it

I don't quite understand what you want to tell me here.

If System.IO.File.Exists(GameController.GamePath & "\maps\poke\" & Screen.Level.LevelFile.Remove(Screen.Level.LevelFile.Length - 4, 4) & ".poke") = True Then

is the line of code preventing a GameMode from loading a .poke file at fishing when that .poke file doesn't exist in the original maps\poke folder.
