Help getting Essentials plugins working

Hi all,

I'm still relatively new to essentials, and I've been trying to get some plugins working for a project I'm working on. Initially I only had the Gen 9 pack, Advanced Items Field Moves, Auto Multi Save and Following Pokémon EX (though I'm not really doing anything with that last one for now).

I wanted to install Deluxe Battle Kit for a boss fight I wanted to make, but trying to get it working seems to have broken my entire project. Initially it was just the proper versions not being installed, and I believe I have the newest versions of everything now. However, now I'm getting Error messages upon loading a save or starting a new game and I have no clue where to start when it comes to fixing these.

Upon loading my test save I get this:

[Pokémon Essentials version 21.1]

[v21.1 Hotfixes 1.0.9]

Exception: NoMethodError

Message: undefined method `>' for nil:NilClass

Backtrace:

[Advanced Items - Field Moves] 01_Code.rb:2119:in `update'

[Advanced Items - Field Moves] 01_Code.rb:2395:in `update'

Game_Map:462:in `block in update'

Game_Map:462:in `each_value'

Game_Map:462:in `update'

[Advanced Items - Field Moves] 01_Code.rb:637:in `update'

[Auto Multi Save] Auto Multi Save.rb:293:in `loop'

[Auto Multi Save] Auto Multi Save.rb:293:in `block in pbStartLoadScreen'



And upon trying to start a new file I get this:

[Pokémon Essentials version 21.1]

[v21.1 Hotfixes 1.0.9]

Exception: Errno::ENOENT

Message: File Graphics/Characters/truthshimmer not found.

Backtrace:

Any help here would be appreciated, thanks.
