Resource Debug List Search 1.2

[wrigty12]

wrigty12 submitted a new resource:

Debug List Search - Quickly search for values in Debug Lists (Moves, Abilities, etc.)

When you use debug commands to set things like moves and abilities, it provides the full list of that data type. Sure, you can sort alphabetically which is great, but what if you really just want to find that one move that has the word "xylophone" in it?

This plugin allows you to do a quick search in most debug menus like this. For instance, when using the debug menu to add a move to a Pokemon, you can search for "mega" to find all your moves with that in the name...

Does the search bar work with the add item [to bag] debug menu?

It doesn't look like it. I'll check out what it's using and see if my plugin can easily be expanded to include it!

Hello, can this plugin search ID? i mean ID, not ID number.
coz i am using the ess that has been translated, my language is way more different from eng. now i am not able to search translated texts, and ID number seems useless.
so if this plugin can search ID, it helps a lot.
many many thanks.

No, it doesn't support ID's that are defined in PBS. The search works by looking through the string that is already visible in the search itself (so ###: Name in most cases).

Great job! Default Essentials should have this feature!

Really great plugin that I've been using a lot! Recently though, it's started crashing with this error message.

Is this an error on my end, or a plugin error?

Question 1) What were you trying to do when this happened (which debug list)?

Question 2) If you run the script call pbMessageFreeText(_INTL("Search for what?"), "", false, 32) (In an event or the debug console, whatever you like) does it also crash like this?

I can't reproduce this so far, even after installing rainefallPortraits (which also appears in the backtrace). It looks like somehow @cursor_timer_start is nil when the freetext box comes up for your game. My plugin doesn't touch that at all, it simply calls pbMessageFreeText just like it's used in other vanilla code. And looking at your Backtrace, the lines of code don't line up with my clean version of v21, so I assume you made manual changes (looks like 4 lines have been removed somewhere) in the Messages script.

I was searching Pokemon to add to an encounter table for a map.

It crashes the same way if I do that, yes.

I don't remember messing with the Messages script beyond changing the default font, but I could be wrong. I'll try swapping it for a clean one.

Update: Tried with a fresh Messages script. Still crashed.

If running that script crashes then it's not my plugin. Especially if you've been able to use my plugin in the past until only recently, something you changed or installed recently would be the culprit. you can try posting on rainfallsportraits discussion page, but I'm not sure if that is causing it either. Without being able to reproduce it, I don't have much to go off here
