0.76.0

PKMN v0.76.0 Beta

Interface:

• Pokemon Platinum (Sinnoh) can be picked at character create once the Platinum cart has been extracted in Game Data on the title screen.
• Game Data rebuilds stale Platinum units on Extract, and a player with a Platinum character but no extracted cart is sent to extract it.

Known issues:

• Sinnoh trainer battles do nothing yet, and wild battles run on the client only, so modes are not enforced there (PO-1122, PO-1127).
• Sinnoh ends at Oreburgh City and Mine; Route 204 onward is not extracted, and Fly and the region map are not available (PO-1122).
• Gen 4 species have no battle sprites yet and Turtwig's back sprite is missing (PO-1124); the Pokedex counts to 493 for everyone.
• In Sinnoh other players' followers, mounts and status are not drawn; there is no night music and Comet Punch has no sound (PO-1125).
• A Platinum Rev 0 cart may be refused at join with a re-extract message, because the server data comes from Rev 1 (PO-1122).
• Randomizer draws Gen 3 species into Gen 4 slots (PO-1122).

engine sha e730500524 / asset pack bb88a36ab7239b9d / Godot 4.7.2 stable platforms: Windows, Linux, macOS (universal)

Client and server must share both the engine sha and the asset pack: the login handshake rejects a mismatch on either.

macOS - the first launch needs one extra step. The app is ad-hoc signed but not notarized, so macOS refuses a plain double-click with "cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified". Right-click (or Control-click) the app and choose Open, then Open again. Once per download; updates the client installs itself do not re-trigger it. From a terminal the equivalent is:

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "PKMN Engine.app"

Keep PKMN Engine.app and the pack folder together in the same folder - the app looks for its assets beside itself, not inside the bundle.
