Pardon the extra thread, but I figured this should be separated from my previous one. Been making some headway with a custom Showdown server, but there's two notable problems I'm still having and I'm not sure how to fix either.
The first is a connection/SSL issue. The web address uses http instead of https. A friend of mine is hosting it for me and isn't sure how to get the SSL certification because he can't find any internal documentation on the matter. This seems to be causing issues with consistency in connecting to the server, which is a massive headache. Even with forced https disabled on any of my browsers, it either doesn't work at all or randomly works once in a while. Does anyone have any knowledge on this topic that can lend a hand? (This also includes the domain; I know there's a lot of servers under Showdown with proper URL domains. I'd presume it might come from registering the server with showdown, but I can't tell and the server registration form is down, too.)
The second issue is visual changes not taking effect. For instance, I changed Beedrill's base stats and abilities, unbanned it, moved it to OU, etc. But the stats don't show as changed, it still shows as Illegal, and I can't see its movepool because of the former. The validator works and shows it as being acceptable with the new elements, but it doesn't actually show up for me visually. Any ideas on how I can fix this?
Edit: Wondering if this has to do with lack of proper understanding of the internal systems. I was making updates today and noticed as I got to the Gengar line, that they all display as only Levitate in pokedex.ts. This makes me think that I'm missing something crucial, since that's obviously not what Gengar utilizes as an ability as of Gen 7, which may explain why I'm not seeing the changes showing up.
On a side note for anyone familiar enough, is there something internally that's required to disable Terastal while enabling Mega Evolution?
Thanks in advance, and sorry for the probably daft questions!
