All files are loaded in a slightly different way now (to fix cross-platform problems), but what do you mean with "I can't get images to change from input"?
New abilities will work in this way:
we make an abilities or traits package, in which we put a class for each ability, all subclasses of an abstract Ability class.
When defining the pokemon's properties in XML, you do:
<pokemon>
... (data)
<abilities>
<ability name="Ability1" chance="0.25" />
<ability name="Ability2" chance="0.75" />
</abilities>
... (data)
</pokemon>
When loading the pokemon, jepe chooses one of the 2 abilities randomly (using the chance things). Say it chooses "Ability2", then it dynamicly loads the needed class from the ability package (or crashes, when it's not available).
I don't know if it would be possible to define abilities in XML, simply because I don't know how flexible they have to be, but if it would be possible, doing that would be even better than the dynamicly loaded classes of course.
