Pokemon: Metallic Silver

[Flameguru]

http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b64/Harshboy/PokemonMetallicSilverBanner.png

Made In: RMXP
This is NOT a True http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b64/Harshboy/Metallic%20Silver/badge-silver.png Remake!


http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b64/Harshboy/Introduction.png

Hello, I'm Flameguru. I am also the creator of Pokemon: Metallic Silver. Pokemon Metallic Silver has had a rough life over the years and more than 1 team. We kept giving up because we didn't have enough knowledge of the RGSS Language found and used in RPG Maker XP. Since then, things have changed. Only about 2 weeks ago, me and my good friend Chris (Known as Akio123 on PC) decided to completely redo Metallic Silver, including it's storyline. Why? Well before, we hadn't used any switches so nothing worked right and there were tons of bugs to be found. We had no PokeDex and PokeGear. We decided to change the story because since Metallic Silver died, a whole bunch of G/S/C remakes were created and we wanted to feel more original. So, that's pretty much why we decided to redo Metallic Silver. Now then, on with the goodies.


http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b64/Harshboy/Story.png

NOTE: Before you read the first 2 Sentence and say "OMG, another G/S/C Remake! bleh..." read more ;)

In the little town of New Bark Town, a boy named Silver is about to embark on a journey. He goes downstairs and receives his PokeGear that was fixed from his mom and is told that Prof. Elm had an errand for him. When Silver reaches the lab, Prof. Elm tells Silver of his errand - which is for him to travel to the Orange Islands via the S.S. Aqua ported in Olivine City to see Prof. Ivy. Prof. Elm tells Silver to leave to Olivine City with his lab assistant. The two leave New Bark Town.

While Silver and the Lab Assistant travel to Olivine City, an evil organization known as Darkstar Inc. is up to no good! Darkstar Inc. is and evil organization that steals Pokemon and sells them in the Black Market for money and will eventually if not stop sacrifice them to resurrect the Pokemon Catabolg, the Devil Pokemon. One of Darkstar Inc.'s higher members has captured Lugia, and is seen returning to Darkstar Inc.'s base in the Orange Islands.

What will happen next? Play the demo and find out...

UPDATE:

Alright, We have made a lot of changes to Metallic Silver in the last week or so.

One of the biggest changes is that instead of you and the lab assistant just walking off to Olivine like in the last Beta, you now actually get to play up to that point. This was my decision and I think it will add a whole lot to the Game. Don't worry, you will get to goto the Orange Islands too, but not until you get up to Olivine.

The Story while in Johto will be different and some of the maps will look somewhat different also. You will still meet Kamon, but I don't want to say why because it may hurt the story. Instead of Team Rocket in Johto, we have Darkstar Inc. Grunts and an appearance of 2 other "Leaders" of the team.

As for progress, everything up to Ilex Forest has been Mapped, Evented, and Configured. It's basically 1+ Hours longer now. I'd say it has give or take a good hour to an hour and a half of game play, depending on the encounter rates you have in the Grass and how well you can figure out the storyline and find out what to do.

So yeah, I'll be adding some Screenshots of the new Beta that will come within the month sometime down the road. Until then, Peace.

Well that's about it for now. Post your thoughts about the Story, Features, PokeDex, Screenshots, Videos, and the Demos. We are open to any and all criticism.

Thanks for Reading ;)

[Akio123]

We will be adding more and more next week. Including the concept art for all of the hero's rivals!^^

[Gyoka]

To get the door to open by touch open the event and under the trigger section choose collision. I hope this helps and good luck!

[PokeFanatic12698]

wow pretty nice game. although i havent dwnloaded it or anything lol. sigh, i wish i knew how to script in RMXP

[Akio123]

Well if you know how to sprite show us some work.

[PokeFanatic12698]

Sprite? I can do that but only in Fire red and stuff. If you'd give me a base sprite i'd gladly edit it.

[°Wizard-Wings°]

Seems cool, I'll dowload it.I'll tell you what I like.

[PokeFanatic12698]

Hunh? When i download it, it says an error has occured. Otherwords i cant seem to extract it! :(

[Flameguru]

To get the door to open by touch open the event and under the trigger section choose collision. I hope this helps and good luck!

Thanks! I always wondered what that Event Touch Trigger did :laugh: I updated the Demo with that fix, no more Z to open doors, yayz! Because you were nice, here's a screenie of our W.I.P. PokeDex:

http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b64/Harshboy/Dex.png


PokeFanatic12698, can you modify a tree sprite into a tropical tree such as a Palm Tree, but Overgrown and Pokemon-ish? Heres a base sprite (Regular FR Tree):

http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b64/Harshboy/Tree.png

Thanks for the comments and the help guys :)

[PokeFanatic12698]

Lol dude sorry but i ment like trainer sprites,etc. Thats a tile i think. But i'll do my best.

[Flameguru]

Hunh? When i download it, it says an error has occured. Otherwords i cant seem to extract it! :(

I was updating the demo while you downloaded it, sorry. Re-download and it'll work.

Ok, well try your best :surprised:

[°Wizard-Wings°]

I could also help with spriting, anything to see a great GSC remake!

[Akio123]

I could also help with spriting, anything to see a great GSC remake!
If you read you would see this is not a remake. >_<

Aside, welcome to the team. Please display your work.

[Flameguru]

I could also help with spriting, anything to see a great GSC remake!

This isn't a GSC Remake, although once you beat the Orange League in the Orange Islands you can go back to Johto and explore it. So I guess it's kinda a remake if you want to consider it one.

Anyway, what all can you do as far as spriting? PM me some examples or what you can do ;)

Thanks in Advance :D

[PokeFanatic12698]

Hmm. I couldnt make a tree but i can make a map for you since i a better mapper then a sprite/tileset editor. Want me to send you an example?

[Flameguru]

Hmm. I couldnt make a tree but i can make a map for you since i a better mapper then a sprite/tileset editor. Want me to send you an example?

Sure, just PM me with it. We will basically be making huge islands so keep in mind it needs to have a tropical flare to it.

[PokeFanatic12698]

Alrighty then, One big tropical island comin' right up! lol

[Akio123]

Yeah we do need mappers to help with the Orange Islands (Mapping the insides of places) as well as Spriters. Also we really need scripters.

[PokeFanatic12698]

Sigh, the map i made is very empty lol. Ad i couldnt find the right tiles and it has a few errors. Dunno if you still wanna see it...

[Akio123]

You might as well show us.

[PokeFanatic12698]

Alright let me upload it on photobucket k?

[°Wizard-Wings°]

Hey guys, I'll try to make the tree and some other tiles.

[PokeFanatic12698]

[Flameguru]

Hey guys, I'll try to make the tree and some other tiles.

Okay, Thanks. Just post it here or PM it to me when you finish it.

Sorry PokeFanatic12698, but I don't like it :\ But can I ask, is that boat a tileset or event? Either way can you post a .png version of it?

[PokeFanatic12698]

Its an event. a .png? dunno what that is. lol see i told ya. i stink in mapping. sorry for double post btw.

[Flameguru]

Its an event. a .png? dunno what that is. lol see i told ya. i stink in mapping. sorry for double post btw.

No, I mean post the Tileset that has that boat or the Charset of the boat as an image in .png (Not a .bmp or .jpg)

[PokeFanatic12698]

Oh i get it, you'd like to use the boat as part of a tileset. i'll try then..
http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/Zabuza145879/boat.jpg

[Akio123]

http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b64/Harshboy/SS.Aqua.png

[PokeFanatic12698]

[PokeFanatic12698]

[ChronicNightmare]

Words cannot express how awesome this game is.
I'm just speechless.

-ChronicNightmare-

[Delano]

concept artist, yaaay! i cant wait to start drawing.

[Akio123]

Yes, Delano tommarow we will work on the concept art and have some posted.

[PokeFanatic12698]

This game looks awesome. Hope noone will giveup on it.

[Flameguru]

I just added Character Biographies to the first post. I'm going to work on the Game some more and try to make the PokeDex fully functional :)

EDIT: I thought I would post some screenshots of our Islands. The first is Valencia Island which is home to Prof. Ivy's Lab and a small Town, the second is Tangelo Island which is home to PokePark and a Small Town. Tangelo is extremely concept right now and I can guarantee that a much bigger "route" will be added to the Island ;) Here they are:

http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b64/Harshboy/Valencia_Preview.png

http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b64/Harshboy/Tangelo_Preview.png

All criticism is welcome and remember that the second one is going to be much bigger eventually.


Oh, and does anyone know how I could make it when you step on the grass tile it will call a(n) Common Event(s)? This way it won't lag for people with slower computers.

[Akio123]

Spoiler:
Tangelo you'll meet your first rival...Update tomamrow if possible.

[Super~Sonic]

The writing doesn't appear. Why is that?

[BlueSonic]

This game is nice, got anymore news?

[Flameguru]

The writing doesn't appear. Why is that?

You didn't put the Pokemon RS font in the C:/WINDOWS/Fonts Folder. As for news...hmm, none that I really want to make public yet. Maybe later tonight ;)

[Super~Sonic]

I cant find a fonts folder.

[Flameguru]

I cant find a fonts folder.

Trust me, it's in the C:/WINDOWS/Fonts Folder.

As for the game, I finished eventing Valencia Island so Prof. Ivy doesn't just say "Hello." anymore :P

After you talk to her you get the Orange Pass and the GS Ball. She gives your Orange Pass authorization to travel to and from Tangelo Island. Tangelo Island is a port City so it will allow you to travel to many other Islands later on..erm, when I event it.

Now I have to goto Wal-Mart and get a TI 84 + SE for school, so I'll update later tonight ;)

No, I mean there is no Font folder there. I have the Pokemon R/S (TrueType) but there is no font folder. Its not there.

[Flameguru]

Okay, I'm about to leave. Open up Internet Explorer and in the URL Bar type this:

C:\WINDOWS\Fonts

...and press Enter. Drag the Pokemon RS Font there and your good. If you still can't figure this out I'm sorry but don't post in the thread about the problem anymore.

[Akio123]

Alright since I can get online at the hotel I canh help update daily.

[Flameguru]

UPDATE:

Okay, Valencia is almost done. I have some screenshots of Valencia and Tangelo. I will also update the demo sometime tomorrow with a bunch of stuff to do. Until then, check out these screenshots.

[Minorthreat0987]

i noticed all the charsets you are using ,besides the hero, are using a light gray instead of a black as the outline, i recommend going to this link

http://www.pkmncommunity.com/showthread.php?t=77924

and downloading the "Complete FR/LG Set" by Fangking Omega and using those instead. They are the same just with the fixed outlines so they will look better and more official giveing your game a more professional look. but other than that things are looks really good. good luck.

[Yuoaman]

Looking, good, I'll probably download the demo after the next update, but good job with this.

I am using his, it's just that some of his Charsets in that pack are like that and I don't have time to edit them right now. I must say, you are so helpful to us!

Would you consider joining our team? Oh, and expect a newer much longer demo in about a week. I've already added at least 25+ Minutes to the game already.

[Minorthreat0987]

lll consider it, but school is starting soon, and i have a very very loaded schedual, and i have to take the SATs this year so i wont have much free time, but if i dont join i will continue to do odd jobs here and there for you if you would like.

I just redownloaded the charsets and i looked through them and they dont have the same problem yours do, so i personally would redownload them and switch them out and see if the problem gets fixed because that is the only thing that i can see that doesnt look official. anyway good luck.

I know what you mean, in 8 days I start my Sophomore year in High School. Either way you've already been a big help to the game and I'm very grateful to you for that.

I'll redownload them and check them out. Thanks.

[Minorthreat0987]

your welcome. I cant wait to see some of the stuff i have contributed in action. =]

yea check the charsets out i really think they will make the game look better if they had the black outline.

[Flameguru]

This is really strange. Yes, the graphics in that pack looked way better but when I imported them RMXP made them ugly again. I changed the Background color of all the charsets to Yellow and now they all look perfect! So no more ugly graphics :D

I'll probably update the Screenshots on the front page now, and later today work on finished Tangelo Island's Story Events.

[BlueSonic]

This catches my eye man, good luck.

ha that is weird, well as long as they look better. ha

[BlueSonic]

Yeah, this game is cool. Can't wait for more updates!

[Flameguru]

I just made another twist to the story on Valencia Island which should add about 15+ Minutes of game play. I won't let all the info go but it's kinda like the Tin Tower..but in a Lighthouse.

This game is probably going to be a tad harder than regular Pokemon Games but I've been putting in some funny things here and there so if you want to get the best game play you have to explore!

[Akio123]

We are currently in ne ed of a scripter if anyone wishes to help us.

[bump-a-choo]

yo! i cant play the game!! it says "it aint a valid archive" so like what do i do??>.< help will be kindly taken oh and im half way desint spirter if u need help O.O

[Flameguru]

Sorry, but I just downloaded it, extracted it, and played it. Everything went fine. I use Winrar to make my .zip files so maybe it does something stupid. Try again?

We are currently only in need of a Scripter, but if we ever need some spriting done, I'll PM you.

[bump-a-choo]

ok i use winzip so theres da prob oh well thnks ill have to use winrar!!

[Flameguru]

ok i use winzip so theres da prob oh well thnks ill have to use winrar!!

No Problem. Anyway, All day I have been trying to implement a new CBS but it's not working.

If anybody is reading this and can help me, PM me ASAP! With or without the new CBS, there will be a demo released by this Friday. Expect some new screenshots and updates tomorrow ;)

[ChronicNightmare]

I can't wait for the updates.
Sry I wish I knew some scripters to
help you guys, but I don't.

[Delano]

heres "chris". thing is i dont think he really looks like a "chris" i propose discussing a new name for him. maybe his middle name can be chris, as a ref to his creator. but i dont think he looks like a "chris" to me.

[Akio123]

I say we stick with the name. XD

Edit: We are still in need of a scripter and some spriters.

[Random]

Just came to checkup on things, looks like its coming out nicely guys. ^^

What do you mean he "Doesn't look like a "Chris"" ? XD We can't just change his name, that'd be kinda strange...

But I must say, you have some crazy awesome Skillz in the Graphics department.

UPDATE: I got a working Dawn/Day/Dusk/Night System, all I need now is for the Windows to light up!

thats cool. is is script or event based? either way it adds an awsome feel to the game.

Its a script. I also have a weather system script. Heres a Screenshot of "Thunderstorm" at 9 AM:

It was impossible to press PrtSc when the Lightning flash took place, but it looks so much better in game. You'll all see it when I release the demo.

There will be Random Rain and Thunderstorms in the Orange Islands!

heres ashraf:

[Akio123]

I'll work ont he bio for Ashraf with youa nd will send it to Flameguru and then Hedgehogger or LusterKnight for spriting.

[Flameguru]

I posted his Bio. Now then, I redid Tangelo Island and added a "Port Section" and made the route a lot bigger. I'll show you guys on AIM.

For updates...Random Weather in the Orange Islands works! Expect more tonight ;)

Thanks for the support :) Here's a little taste of the new CBS to come. Also, please ignore the random girl in the room giving you a Bulbasaur, it's only a test. Also, the trainer graphic will change. Screenshots:

NOTE: This CBS will NOT be in the Next Demo because we want it to be perfect! It WILL be in the 3rd or 4th Demo though.

sry, i downloaded the demo and it said that there arent any files to extract...

[Flameguru]

sry, i downloaded the demo and it said that there arent any files to extract...

Tested and it worked. Why are some people not able to extract it?

From now on, no more questions or comments about the Download.

It's not my fault if your Computer is retarded. Sorry, but I can't help anyone with these problems.

[JV12345]

i tried again and it worked, sometimes it works and sometimes its do not works

EDIT: i saw a problem, when you talk to the sailor in another side than the "correct one" your guy tryes to go down but it isnt possible, try to solve it.

[mackoo]

Will you place this battle system in your starter kit too?

[Flameguru]

Will you place this battle system in your starter kit too?

Just updated the Starter Kit, find out for yourself ;)

NOTE: The new CBS Interferes with the Bag and PokeDex so those will not work. Sorry for the Inconvenience. It will be fixed so don't worry. This is why the new CBS will not be in the next few Demos ;)

As for the sailor glitch I knew some player would try to do that and I have fixed it. It will be fixed in the next release :)


Anyway, expect a new Demo either Tomorrow or Saturday.

[Akio123]

I must say that our new CBS is really cool looking.

[ChronicNightmare]

Tihs is wonderful. I am so psyched to play
your game.

-ChronicNightmare-

[Minorthreat0987]

glad you got the cbs in there but you really should give credit to Illusion since he made it an all. but it looks good do you have any ideas how to get past the whole bag and pokemon menu issues yet?
anyway looks good. good luck mate!

Crap X.X I knew I forgot to do something. Anyway, I added him to the credits.

I really wish I had one scripter who would help me. It's sad really. If any scripter out there sees this, please consider helping us because we only need minor script edits.

Oh well, no people helping = peoples problem. We can only give them the game that they help us make.

[bump-a-choo]

errmm...like did any body notice that the overworld main character has yellow on his hat? and that the battle section he has a red one? wierd!:shocked:

Ok FlameGuru - your starter kit is fantastic, but I have one problem with it (I don't need anything else than I still have in it), I can't oad saves - can you repair it and give another version of this Starter Kit, with the same that before (without anything new like a battle system), just the save fixed ?

Just saying Flameguru says he wants to stop the game unless we can find a scripter, so please join if you know RGSS.

[Flameguru]

I've added a video of our new CBS to our Youtube Page. Check it out below.

Darkstar Inc. Youtube Page (http://youtube.com/profile?user=DrkstrInc)

It has a lot of features. EV and IV play effect, Moves, everything is in it! The only things missing are In-Battle Item and Pokemon Switching menus.

[venom12]

What's about the demo?? :(

[Flameguru]

We're sorry about that, but the demo is on hold. But don't worry, it's for a very good reason :D

The next demo will contain much better scripts and systems. Better Battle System (Even better than that preview!) PokeDex, PokeGear, Bag, Menus, and more!

Anyways, sorry for the lack of updates but I was busy with school stuff and I actually had a social life for the last 5 days. Expect updates from me at least every 2 or 3 days.

Like I said, I and the team are very sorry for the lack of the demo but it's worth it in the end, you'll see ;)

[naruto-ex]

your game looks super cool and i downloaded thr demo but when i tried clicking on the pokemon matallic silver game icon but it said RGSS-RTP standard wihe 9 question marks beside it please

Yes, that is correct. I credited Illusion in the Credits (The maker of the CBS) We will eventually however be making a custom System. That is what is holding up the next demo.

Give us a few days and we will release a newer and better demo.

What version of RMXP do you have? If it's a pirate version it won't work.

[ChronicNightmare]

I am waiting for the demo. Hope it is entertaining and that
you put alot of effort into it.

-ChronicNightmare-

[Flameguru]

Alright everybody, prepare yourselves for a 30-45 or Unlimited minute Demo tomorrow. It is set to be released before 2 PM GMT-5 Eastern Time. This Beta should keep everybody entertained for a while. The best part is that your Save file will work on all of the next demos from now on, so yayz!

[Alistair]

The game looks great so far. Your mapping is really good, and Delano's concept art is amazing. Keep it up.

Thanks! I always wondered what that Event Touch Trigger did :laugh: I updated the Demo with that fix, no more Z to open doors, yayz! Because you were nice, here's a screenie of our W.I.P. PokeDex:

http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b64/Harshboy/Dex.png


PokeFanatic12698, can you modify a tree sprite into a tropical tree such as a Palm Tree, but Overgrown and Pokemon-ish? Heres a base sprite (Regular FR Tree):

http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b64/Harshboy/Tree.png

Thanks for the comments and the help guys :)

I can make tiles for you if you want (except I make them from scratch). If you need proof, check here. (http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=104577)

Oh, one last thing. The Orange League map of Akio's may have been stolen from Serg!o's hack Pokémon Naranja. Compare his map to the one in Serg!o's post. (http://www.pokecommunity.com/showpost.php?p=1715887&postcount=74)

[Flameguru]

If you could modify a Tileset I have with Tropical stuff, that would be so cool.

I'll have to delete that map i suppose.

I have attached the Tileset that I want modified. Basically, I want everything to look more tropical, and is there anyway you could put Kyledove's Tile in this Tileset as well? I think they would go good with the Orange Islands.

Tileset that needs to be modified (http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/6880/outsidema6.png)

[Akio123]

Just an announcement, we will be posting the demo today.

[Flameguru]

Demo 2 Released!

Download Here (http://www.darkstarinc.110mb.com/Files/MS_RMXP.zip)

Okay, here's the newest Demo...I was even nice enough to release it 30 minutes early. The Demo should take anywhere from 25-Unlimited Minutes until you "Complete" it. This one has all the newer systems, but is also lacking some. I figure by next release all the systems will be done. Here are some Screenshots of the newest Demo:

http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/2217/msdemo2previewob4.png

Which of Kyledoves tiles do you want in there? Also, do you want me to convert the pallette for you?

[Flameguru]

Which of Kyledoves tiles do you want in there? Also, do you want me to convert the pallette for you?

Like...all of his Tiles (Pokemon Buildings, Grass, Trees, etc). I have no idea what pallet changing is since I don't do Rom hacking or much Photoshopping, but if it makes everything look better, then yes, please do :)

[Bruno1440]

Hey the screens are awsome but broken link =X
Bruno

[ChronicNightmare]

Nice tileset. Are you going to let people in need of a
pokemon tileset use them? OMG!! The demo *Downloads*

-ChronicNightmare-

[Flameguru]

Hey the screens are awsome but broken link =X
Bruno

The Link isn't broken :\

What do you mean by the Tileset? The current one i posted is available for anyone, and anybody who wants the Kyledoves one can also have that one too. I believe all resources should be available to everyone, not certain teams or people.

[Bruno1440]

Hm...well it maybe a problem with the region at where am I, dont you have it hosted at anyother place?
thanks, Bruno

[Flameguru]

I can upload it to Megaupload or Rapidshare I guess...but I'll be updating the demo later tonight with Trainer Battles, a Bug Fix, and some other goodies.

[Bruno1440]

Ok, thanks for you help! once more the screens are great and i cant wait to test it out!
Thanks, Bruno

[Alistair]

Well, converting the Kyle's tiles takes a lot longer than I thought, so here is the tileset so far.

http://img258.imageshack.us/img258/3069/outsidema6sc8.th.png (http://img258.imageshack.us/my.php?image=outsidema6sc8.png)

I also made a couple of autotiles for you, too (The ones made out of my tiles have animations, too!).

[Flameguru]

That's looking awesome! Any chance you could make a Water Autotile from Pokemon Narjana's Water? Or at least make a more Tropical color of Water instead of the mucky Blue Default?

Thanks!

[Alistair]

You mean the ocean water, right?

[Flameguru]

You mean the ocean water, right?

Yes, it's clear and looks tropical. Oh, and...

Yes, it will. Anyway, I might have to release another Demo tonight or tomorrow due to a glitch (it's not important and you might not even find it) This will just be Version 2.1.1

[Alistair]

Here is the wqater autotile. If you don't like it, I can do another one if you want.

[DarkPegasus]

I've played the demo, and I liked it, here are some bugs I have found:

1. The lab assistant in Olivine (when you get there) says Thankyou (instead of Thank you)
2. He gives you 5 pokeballs, one by one.
3. No sure if this is a bug or not, but over the boulder (in front of the lighthouse in Olivine) it says Don Pat (I'm guessing, it's because you used the new tileset).
4. The Trainer card has a girls picture (I choosed the male caracter)
5. When you try to enter the dock (in Olivine, and you have talked to him first) the salesman doesn't turn to you.
6. When you talk to the salesman in the Valencia mart you get this error:
Undefinded local variable or method 'vall_shop'

And a suggestion or two:

1. Use proper door animations.
2. Give the maps bigger borders, that way you will get a better feel of "never ending" maps.

Hope I helped.

Edit: Also try to include rgss102e.dll, so everybody could play it.

1) Fixed
2) Can't Fix, only way to do it (as of right now)
3) Fixed
4) Semi-Fixed, Can't fix as of right now
5) What?
6) Will be fixed. No Marts are working yet.

1) Any idea where I can find some Charsets of Doors?
2) Fixed

I will include the new RGSS102E.dll from now on, but this lets the people who pirated RMXP play too...just an fyi. Theres also one more bug that goes a long with the trainer card (kinda) If you chose the girl player you will have a male Battle Sprite and Male Trainer Card Image. I'll try to fix this later. It's not a bug...since theres no code that makes it determine what image to use.

Here is the wqater autotile. If you don't like it, I can do another one if you want.

I like it, Thanks :)

[DarkPegasus]

You know... The sailor guy in front of the dock... Talk to him, then try to go into the dock, you will see what I mean.

I can't reproduce it, so I'm going with an oddity. What version of RMXP are you using?

[Akio123]

Flameguru the problem is he didn't install the fonts in his fonts folder. I had the same problem yesterday. Just unzip the fonts and put them in your fonts folder and your problem will be alieviated.

No problem, we just want to make sure people enjoy the game.^^

[Flameguru]

Alright, today the only thing I have been doing is working on our site (well...I went to school too, but that doesn't count)

So after I'm done with the site, expect a newer demo with a finished Tangelo Island or possibly a whole new Island. What do you guys want to see in the next demo?

[T.Guy]

Wow, I can't believe you guys are making something I've been longing for ages; A Johto game with no Kanto in it! I'm so happy...

This game is looking awesome, good job! I'm downloading the demo now.

[Flameguru]

Next Release will contain a whole bunch more goodies ;) The PokeMart will work 100%, Better Bag System, PokeDex, and more! All this and more are made by Poccil, the best darn RGSS Coder I know!

[jonsploder]

Downloading ,but I will have to play it later because I
have to help clean up the house.

-ChronicNightmare-

[Pokemorpher]

Good game. Looks cool,played a bit so ill cast my vote there in the poll.

[ChronicNightmare]

I played the demo, really great, but here are a few things
that needs to get fixed or something.
1. When you catch a pokemon and you don't even have the pokedex
you still get a pokedex description shown.
2. On Valencia Island, their ore some stairs next to like a beach or something,
well anyway to far left tileset of the stairs if you move left again you can walk
on the rock wall tileset.
3. On Valencia Island you have to cut a tree down to get to the item on the other side,
when you press enter I got a script error and my game froze up, so I have to play it again.
Well that is about it. I am going to play it again and see if I can find anything else.
I may update this post so keep looking.^^ Good luck Flameguru.

-ChronicNightmare-
BTW! When are you going to add the cries of the pokemon?

[Akio123]

Hi, jsut to update:
We currently need a spriter, so if anyone has any talent at spriting PM me or Flameguru.

[Flameguru]

UPDATE: A new demo should be released sometime tomorrow. It will have all kinds of New Goodies, even a new Island ;) If you were lucky enough to find my secret teleporter to that island in the last demo then you should already know what Island is next hehe

Oh, and the LightHouse Key Glitch will be fixed too, just make sure tot save before taking it and then use that save in the next demo to start right in front of the key. Well, I better get going.

[NytewolfAU2k7]

^ I'm getting the same error as the above poster :(

[Random]

Well guys I just made the Ashraf sprite today, and i checked with Akio, and he liked it. =D

http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/3825/ashrafspriteef8.png

Looks Great ;)
As for an Update, I'm going to be busy for a while so no demo for a while. Sorry...

[Akio123]

Shuri, that is a really great sprite I gotta say.

[scienceboy]

he looks like he's a rebel. cool!

[Flameguru]

Alright everybody, I need some opinions. I recently released a tileset for RMXP full of Kyledove's Tiles. Now here's the question:

Would you like Metallic Silver to use the default FR/LG (Currently being used) Tiles or Kyledove's Tiles?


Also, I have just updated MS to Poccil's newest release of the Starter Kit and expect a new demo in 2-3 Weeks. I promise Gameplay will be over 1 or more hours ;)

[Akio123]

I think we should stick to the original tilesets we were using. Most of the game takes place in the Orange Islands, they aren't really that tropical is the thing.

[Flameguru]

Demo 2.2 Preview 3 Released!

Download Here (http://www.dsinc.exofire.net/Files/MS_RMXP.zip)

This Version Contains a Finished Bag System, PokeMart System, PC System, PokeCenter System, Trainercard System, Menu System, PokeDex System, PokeGear System and more! All thanks to Poccil of course ;) The only difference is that this version contains 3 bug fixes and some additional features such as Reflecting Water and Real Time Day/Night. Random Weather may be in 2.2, but I'm not sure if I want o add it yet. Anyway, Peace.


It also fixes an issue with the release last night. Don't expect any more releases for a few weeks ;) Please post your comments :)

[Akio123]

Just an update, we ahvea new spriter and Shuriken and I are working on some new sprites.

[Thunda]

Amazing work. I am here to help. Akio asked me.

[Random]

Yeah we planned on the 4 orange islands gym leaders, right? Assuming ill work on those sprites. =D

[Flameguru]

Yeah we planned on the 4 orange islands gym leaders, right? Assuming ill work on those sprites. =D

I have their overworlds, I just need their in-battle sprites.

[Akio123]

I have a Luana sprite and charset, from the old version. You know the one Johnny made.

[Thunda]

tada! I give you...Rachel!

[scienceboy]

she looks cool. kinda like a detective\
trenchcoats are so cool!

[Flameguru]

There was a bug in the last version, but I have fixed it using a temporary method. The download link has been the same ever since the first release so if you re-download it everything will work perfectly ;)

[Improfane]

Hello.

I'm trying your game - it is entertaining!

Just a few bugs:
if you white out and scurry home between the grass and Valencia and leave the house, your mom gives your PokeGear again.
When you are given the Pokeballs from the aid, the item is given in separate messages rather than just one.
Professor's aid gives Pokeballs again, so I've now 10 rather than 5.
Went back to the grass:

Player has no unfainted Pokemon

PokeBattle_Battle:189:in `pbStartBattle'

PokemonField:57:in `pbWildBattle'

PokemonField:56:in `pbFadeOutIn'

PokemonField:56:in `pbWildBattle'

PokemonField:202:in `pbOnStepTaken'

Game_Player*:578:in `update'

Scene_Map:97:in `update'

Scene_Map:107:in `update'

Scene_Map:62:in `main'

Scene_Map:59:in `loop'

Scene_Map:66:in `main'

Main:41

This exception was logged in errorlog.txt.

I could give you errorlog.txt but I don't think that is necessary. The bug is when you faint, go back home and your Pokemon's health is not recovered like the real games.

[ChronicNightmare]

I like the fact that we can move faster, but
1. When you and the assistant walk out the begining town, the assistant sprite
dissapers leaving the trainer sprite their (right before the cutsceen).
2. During the cutsceen the villian walks to the stairs, the stairs go right through him.

Well that is about it. I love your game Flameguru and I am hoping to se more from you.

1) Fixed
2) Can't really fix now but it won't be like that in later versions
3) Fixed

The Battle Glitch is now also fixed. I just added all of the Healing Spots to the metadata.txt so everything should work, I'm just trying to figure out if there is a way that you can still screw something up.

1) I think I'll have the screen fade to black. Both Characters would disappear but it makes no sense with map connections
2) Fixed

I'm actually thinking of setting the Walking speed back to GBA Speeds, but if everybody wants it the way it is then it doesn't matter.

[scienceboy]

no! GBA speeds are too slow!! please keep them! i mean the speeds you have now!

[Flameguru]

UPDATE:

Alright, We have made a lot of changes to Metallic Silver in the last week or so.

One of the biggest changes is that instead of you and the lab assistant just walking off to Olivine like in the last Beta, you now actually get to play up to that point. This was my decision and I think it will add a whole lot to the Game. Don't worry, you will get to goto the Orange Islands too, but not until you get up to Olivine.

The Story while in Johto will be different and some of the maps will look somewhat different also. You will still meet Kamon, but I don't want to say why because it may hurt the story. Instead of Team Rocket in Johto, we have Darkstar Inc. Grunts and an appearance of 2 other "Leaders" of the team.

As for progress, everything up to Ilex Forest has been Mapped, Evented, and Configured. It's basically 1+ Hours longer now. I'd say it has give or take a good hour to an hour and a half of game play, depending on the encounter rates you have in the Grass and how well you can figure out the storyline and find out what to do.

So yeah, I'll be adding some Screenshots of the new Beta that will come within the month sometime down the road. Until then, Peace.

[ChronicNightmare]

Thats awesome, it was kind of a dull story line, but nice game, and now that we have to play up to that point is a great idea. I can't wait to see how it turns out.

[NytewolfAU2k7]

Keep up the good work Flameguru :) I can't wait to see the finished product :)

[Alistair]

Hey, Flameguru. I just made an updated version of the tileset. (By the way, I have no idea who's tiles those are at the very bottom. Also, credit to Serg!o for some of the new tiles) I also fixed the lighthouse at the bottom.

Tileset (http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/8524/tileseteb6.png)
By the way, this tileset is huge!

[spike6958]

wow i can't beleave that i haven't looked at this game before i love johto games good luck finishing it

[Flameguru]

Wow! Those tiles are awesome :) Thanks.

Anyway, I will be adding new screenshots soon, either today or tomorrow sometime. A new demo might be released but only to show off some new stuff and bug fixes and a major new demo won't be for at least a few weeks. Until then post your comments ;)

[Akio123]

We are gonna have an update int he game soon!

[Houndoomed]

Game is looking good; anymore news? :3

You know, most people who keep on posting the same pointless messages in every game thread to raise their post count gets themselves banned? I think you should stop annoying people and just wait for more news like everyone else. Just letting you know.

I played the latest demo - It's very impressive ^^

[Edge]

The game is looking great Flameguru.Poccil's Starter kit is a big help to me but when I modify the maps it always screws up so I am glad it worked for you.Keep up the good work with the game I am looking forward for more!

[lanroxas]

LOL, Caladbolg is a Sword! LOL
You've been playing Final Fantasy X/X-2...

[Akio123]

Actually, the sword name was taken from Norse Mythology...and you spelled it wrong. XD

[Klingon]

Looks nice, hope we see more soon dude -_-

[Akio123]

We are planning a demo release possibly Friday depending on how much colelge stuff I can get done and help out.

[Klingon]

Cool, can't wait for it; hope it's nice :)

[Flameguru]

I've been busy working on the game for the last few days so that's why I haven't been posting any updates.

What Akio said about a release on Friday is true and will be in 2 or 3 gyms in length. If not 3 then you will at least get to Goldenrod City and be able to go shopping and stuff. If I have a lot of time a release may be sooner but I need to personally test each beta and that takes like 4 hours because I try to raise hell in the game.

Peace ;)

[vivekharin]

looks really cool.
great job man.

[Edge]

The beta to Metallic Silver is magnificient.The way the cutscenes play and the vocab of the characters are just incredible.It reminds me of playing a rom on an emulator;That's how similar the game is to regular GBA games.Just a few typos though you may want to watch out for your speling<--Haha.

[chibo_wolf]

nice game i played it and i have to say well done

[Akio123]

nice game i played it and i have to say well done
Thanks and people we are still workiong on the demo, just getting bugs out.

[OmegaGroudon]

This game really great! I like those idea~~
Well, do you need titlescreen? "Omega"'s style titlescreen...
I can help with that!^^
If you need proof of work, take a look at Pokemon Raptor thread or Pokemon Titanium: the return...Those titlescreen made by me^^

[Flameguru]

OmegaGroudon, I'll discuss that with you over PM ;)


Anyway, sorry about not releasing a demo Friday. It's just I have other priorities such as school and this weekend was dedicated to a presentation. I'll be working on MS after school today and tomorrow and if all goes well you can expect to get to Goldenrod City and explore it and buy crap. I'll rate the demo somewhere from 2-3 Hours depending on how much time you spend training and other factors such as wild Pokemon battle ratios.

[Edge]

This game is looking really great!That would be great to have an "Omega" style titlescreen!

[NoOb GaMeMaKeR]

Wow,It has been a while since I have seen this project.This is coming along great.I would love to play the demo but I only have rpgmaker2003.Well I hope this game comes along great.And I am not just going to never look at this thread again.I will look for more updates.;)

[Flameguru]

You won't need RPG Maker XP because the next release will not require the RTP so you can play it on any Windows PC ;)

[Edge]

How would you declude the RTP file from the game folder?

[NoOb GaMeMaKeR]

Alright that's awesome!I can't wait for the next beta to come out;It looks so great!

[scienceboy]

You won't need RPG Maker XP because the next release will not require the RTP so you can play it on any Windows PC ;)

yatta! that rocks!
i havn't been able to play it because of that :)

[mackoo]

Can you post an image of Calabolg ? I wonder how it will look like.

[Klingon]

Pretty nice. I like it.
Not sure on how ya can improve^^

[Akio123]

Can you post an image of Calabolg ? I wonder how it will look like.
Well we are currently having spriter problems.

[LokiFerne]

Hey the demo file seems to be gone, as I've just tried to download it. If you still need a mapper then I'd be glad to make something up for you, though I have little spriting experience so if you wanted custom tiles then you'd have to send them to me.

[Akio123]

If you want a job at MS, IM me over AIM or MSN.

[LokiFerne]

I can't seem to catch you online, maybe because I'm in a different timezone? I live in the UK so I might be going to sleep as you get up.

[Flameguru]

I havent given an update in some time, but pretty soon I will. A demo should be ready for around Christmas and just might get all the way to Olivine in Johto which means you get to go to the Orange Islands too, what we've mapped of them anyway :P

[gotron228]

Can't wait for the demo man!

[Akio123]

People, we need some mappers that can do Johto Cities. If you are interested, please submit one of the following maps and we will judge you based on it:
1. Goldenrod
2. Illex Forest
3. Ecruteak

[Edge]

I have a goldenrod map! I could let you use it!

[Akio123]

Post it here and me and Flameguru will judge the map.

[.Kai]

This is the best remake of all time! I love it!
You must be very expierienced to do somthin' like
this.

[Flameguru]

We don't need Goldenrod anymore, because I just spend the last 2 hours on this one:

http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b64/Harshboy/Metallic%20Silver/Goldenrod.png




Comments? I'm going to add some more grass varieties to the map but other than that, this map is pretty much final.

[Kitoshi]

We don't need Goldenrod anymore, because I just spend the last 2 hours on this one

I know what you mean, I've used that tileset before and it sucks.
I spent five hours on mine.

Well, it doesn't have that metropolis feel (more like a port town) to it since the background is grass.
I used autotile concrete to replace the grass.

[Infernal Contraption]

We don't need Goldenrod anymore, because I just spend the last 2 hours on this one:

http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b64/Harshboy/Metallic%20Silver/Goldenrod.png




Comments? I'm going to add some more grass varieties to the map but other than that, this map is pretty much final.That map was pretty expertly done. Though, why does the P.C. say P.C.C., or is that an abbreviation for some other phrase?

[Flameguru]

It has grass because when I had it as all concrete, it looked too plain and open. I think the grass adds to the map itself.

I will add some more concrete, but I think some grass needs to be there to make the map look nice.

[Kitoshi]

That map was pretty expertly done. Though, why does the P.C. say P.C.C., or is that an abbreviation for some other phrase?

PCC was introduced in the Japanese version of Pocket Monsters Crystal as the Pokémon Communications Centre where users could battle or trade with other users on-line using their Mobile Cellular Telecommunications device (cell phone) and the Mobile Phone Adapter.

Features introduced included:
Pokémon News (Similar to record mixing in Generation III)
Trade Corner (Similar to the GTS in Generation IV)
Egg Ticket
Celebi (Not obtainable in international versions)

[Infernal Contraption]

PCC was introduced in the Japanese version of Pocket Monsters Crystal as the Pokémon Communications Centre where users could battle other users online using their Mobile Cellular Telecommunications device (commonly known as the cell phone).Ah, I understand. But what's that got to do with this game? I don't see a point, since that would be impossible to insert into a fangame.

[Kitoshi]

Ah, I understand. But what's that got to do with this game? I don't see a point, since that would be impossible to insert into a fangame.

It was in the tileset that FlameGuru used.
I'm assuming since he's tired from mapping that mess of a tileset, he would not bother to change it (Editing PNG file).

--
To FlameGuru

I hated that tileset. It was a mess.
In my game, I scrapped it and used the RSEFRLG Complete instead. I was so frustrated by mapping it that day that I almost didn't bother to redo it.
But when I did, it looked better and the buildings don't all look similar to another. And I could add the mountains on the side too.

Also, use the rail in the centre of the Gym roof (On the tileset).
Because I thought the two bars you used for the rails looked too thick. It's more suitable for a wharf facing the ocean or something.

[Flameguru]

Yes, that Tileset is ridiculous. But, the map is done and so nothing to worry about anymore.

I will edit the tileset eventually, but for now it isn't a top priority.

[Infernal Contraption]

Currently, the tileset looks completely fine. I don't see any reason to change it in my point of view, but I guess it's hard to map with.

[Akio123]

ALright, we decided any mappers that can make Ecruteak or Illex PM me or Flameguru. Show us your work and we will judge if you can join as a mapper.

[Edge]

I am working on Ilex forest right now.

[Akio123]

Alright, send it to me over PM and we will check it out.

[Flameguru]

Alright, heres a tiny Update. I have finished mapping the insides of Goldenrod City and as of now, this is what is planned for the next Demo:

Okay so Ecruteak is now finished, but we have a problem. People we need Mappers and Spriters. If you have talent in either, PM either one of us and show your work.

[Flameguru]

Yes, Ecruteak is done. Here it is:

http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b64/Harshboy/Metallic%20Silver/Ecruteak.png


More updates to come later tonight...

[Mitchio]

Woah thats a nice map! I feel stink whenever I make a town from that region because mine doesnt look as good as yours... nice job! And kudo for your work on orange islands, especially without alot to go on...

[Akio123]

Just wanted to say that we actually have a spriter, but still looking for mappers. We still do need mappers for Mettalic Silver. Also, we have a Battle Tower Script...more updates to come...

[scienceboy]

give me a program to map with, and i can try to map
and just to be clear, those lines won't be present int he game, right? :P

[Flameguru]

give me a program to map with, and i can try to map
and just to be clear, those lines won't be present int he game, right? :P

1) RMXP, $60
2) Of course the lines won't be there.


I don't have much to say right now because I just woke up and it's almost time to go to school but I'll see if I can give an update later. If you don't hear from me tonight it just means I'm working on the game.

[Flameguru]

Sorry to double post, but here is an update of how much is done. Only 2 maps need to be redone, and none are left from scratch so we are almost done and a demo should be ready soon enough.

[scienceboy]

ouch. $60
just to be clear, (and this was probly mentioned before but ic an't remember) you wont' need it to play the final game, right?

[Pidg]

not really a bug or glitch just a bit weird.

On the connection between Route 29 and New Bark Town, before you go to Olivine, if you hold Up and the connection it blurs for a second and moves. Probably just a random thing not to do with anything butjust mentioning it.

Another thing, when the Prof's assistant gives you the Pokeballs, it says - 'NAME found one Pokeball.' 'Put it in the ball Pocket' - 5 times.

Also so far what I've played of the Demo id good.

[Wichu]

This is looking really good! One of the best, if not THE best, Johto remakes out there! Plus you have the Orange Islands. I don't really like them, but the way you're doing it might just change my mind. Can't wait till it's finished!
Scienceboy: I believe you won't need RMXP to play it, luckily.

[mackoo]

Yes, RMXP is not needed, you just need RGSS102E.dll

[sprugles555]

Nice, making a game myself... Quite hard, so keep things up guys, hope you reach your targets!

EDIT: Your islands look a bit square, make 'em look a bit more rugged... Just a tip!

[Infernal Contraption]

Yes, Ecruteak is done. Here it is:

http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b64/Harshboy/Metallic%20Silver/Ecruteak.png


More updates to come later tonight...Woah, the tileset looks incredible! I never thought there would be an existing one.

Well, good luck, and I hope to see the next map coming. :D

[Flameguru]

National Park is done, all thats left is Ilex Forest. Heres the map:

http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b64/Harshboy/Metallic%20Silver/NationalPark.png

[mackoo]

It looks good, but you mean, that after reaching Olivine City we will go to Orange Islands - and what then, will we back to Johto or it will be the end?

[Flameguru]

It looks good, but you mean, that after reaching Olivine City we will go to Orange Islands - and what then, will we back to Johto or it will be the end?

It's going to be like Firered/Leafgreen. You will be forced to go to the Orange Islands. After that, you can come back to Johto and finish Johto and then basically screw around.

[shuppet_is_dumb]

I loved the game. GSC were my favorite series...
