[Hall Of Famer]

Good work, dude! Keep it up and I'll see how good the demo is once it's released.;)

[PokemonPlatnum]

[PokemonPlatnum]

Everyone can you keep posting to keep this Forum alive...
It is slowly Fading away.

Back to the Game Procress has been halted due to our Scripter Trogdorhump who is making custom screens for the Game. I am also pleased to announce a Demo which will be arriving early July,Stay Tuned!

[legendarytamer]

JULY!!! I've seen this on epiphany. But will you make it online? So... Whatcha need help with?

[PokemonPlatnum]

It won't be online in the Demos but in the final realease there will be Onile Trading and Battling.

[mewunlimited]

knock, knock! Anyway, great idea.
Are there gonna be any fakemon?

[PokemonPlatnum]

There won't be any Fakémon in this game..sorry.

[cuttyflam]

There won't be any Fakémon in this game..sorry.

You don't have to have Fakemon in your game because personally from my experience I know it takes forever, to think them up and its a pain, and to sprite them take forever so I think you made a good choice not using them.

[Kronos]

Screenshots look nice =] I like how you used transparency with the windowskins.

[PokemonPlatnum]

Cuttyflam that is the main reason I did not use them but sky form and Origin FORME Girantina will be in the Game.
And Kronos thank you Very much.
I am currently looking D/P Pokémon Overworlds in RMXP Format.
Thank you

[CollosalPokemon]

Awesome custom features... good luck

[PokemonPlatnum]

Awesome custom features... good luck

Hey PP, hopefully you saw my most resent post on the PE version of this thread but, I finished the Shaymin Sky Form sprite.

[PokemonPlatnum]

Sorry for the Late post...Yeah thanks for the sprite :)

I have all the moves.txt completed with the Help of Wichu!
Thanks Wichu!

[Hall Of Famer]

It's good to see you back on your project, keep it up and it will be going better and better. Btw, you claimed that Wichu helped you modified the moves.txt so did he help you implement the D/P moves?

Really? So can you please upload the moves.txt file to this web since I need to take a look at how it looks like. Besides, did Wichu make all the D/P moves for you or he simply gave an example?

[PokemonPlatnum]

I was already Half way through the procress in making the d/p moves but I dropped Wichu a Pm and he was happy to give them to me maybe you could do that to HOF...

[Hall Of Famer]

I see. That does sound awesome. I'm okay with adding and modifying Pokemon Moves so just send PM and the unfinished file to me if you need me to help you add D/P moves in Moves.txt. However, some of the move effects(for instance, that pokemon could be prevented from attacking after using that move) are still not available in current starterkit and that's the reason why we still need scripters like Poccil and Wichu's help. Hopefully it would be a nice project and can be released for the next starterkit.

I've finished moves.txt all I need to do is edit the pokemon file so pokemon can actually learn those moves...

Nice graphic update, keep it up! I wish I could get someone who's good at graphic editing as well so I can implement the D/P scenes in my game.

Don't credit me, credit poccil. He made it...

Did you modify it to remove the uncoded effects or something? I can't seem to open it right now...

Hall of Famer...

That's all right for me. I don't ever have a banner since I started my game project so I don't really mind if there's still no banner for my game. Can't believe you really made one for my game, that's so kind of you and I'll sure give you more credit dude!:)

[Neo-Dragon]

The updated graphics make the game have more appeal.
Got me interested lol.
Good luck man.

[shinylugia249]

Banners look great! Did you get all the graphics for the battle system I sent you?

[PokemonPlatnum]

Thanks Neo for the comment =]
It feels really good to get a comment from the man behind Pokemon Protectors!

[Hall Of Famer]

Thank you very much for those battle garphics, dude! They look awesome. It's slightly different from yours but the effect is good. Just like I claimed in Pocci's pokemon essentials thread, maybe we should PM some artists to make a complete Pokemon D/P style graphics for starterkit. The pics are just way better than those of R/S/E and FR/LG, like this one:

Yes, yes, use the sprite.

[Hall Of Famer]

So Do you like I should use that sprite?

I have another question Platnum. I don't know how to change the font color of that D/P battle scene(my font color is black as you can see so it doesn't look well). I saw your font color is white so I'd thank you very much if you can tell me how to edit this.

Go into Pokebattle_Actualscene. Line 1007
replace this:
BOXTEXTBASECOLOR=Color.new(64,64,64)
BOXTEXTSHADOWCOLOR=Color.new(216,208,176)
With this:
BOXTEXTBASECOLOR=Color.new(248,248,248)
BOXTEXTSHADOWCOLOR=Color.new(104,88,112)

[PokemonPlatnum]

Looks good, I'm looking forward to the hack.
It's not a hack >.<
ShinyL that doesn't work for me... can you give me your scripts for Pokebattle actual scene please?

[Hall Of Famer]

Go into Pokebattle_Actualscene. Line 1007

If it's not a picture(I checked), and it's not under the games windowskin(assuming you are using Rpgmaker XP), then it's going to be in the actual scripts. I'd assume that the script has a predefined text color.. Hmm.. I'd try ctrl-f, and then search for the word Font in your scripts. I hope this helps.

Ok,I demo is coming soon but only until the first gym...I am currently waiting on overworld sprites from are spriter.

[CaspianSun54]

It looks really good but it needs a better title name, no offense, because there are a lot of other words that mean dark, for instance Pokemon Cryptic would make a better name than Pokemon Dark, and they still mean the same thing.

[Marshmallow]

Awesome. You guys really need to keep it up. =D

This game will be fun to beat xD I'd apply for a mapper, but, i only have basic FR tiles with no grass/water animation. I'm good with RPG Maker XP 1.02 though (I own a copy xD)

Awesome game! keep up the good work Can I ask if there is a main pokemon like in pearl or diamond?

You could design the maps and I'll make them in my game!

If you mean a new generation of Pokémon,No.They are not needed in this Fan-game.

Update:
With the Brilliant and much needed work from Hall of Famer we have now got the full Region of Kanto in our Game!

You're welcome. I can even send the Johto Maps to you if you want(though I don't think it's necessary to use that at this point of your game project). Btw, I saw you made custom window screen for your game at the first page so can you please help me with the D/P window skin issue? I've already got the D/P text skins but the window skin is still in Pokemon R/S/E style so it looks unbalanced. Anyway, feel free contacting me if you need anything for this fan game. Have a good time!

I am not sure by what you mean by this I'll help I=f you'll explain it clearly.

[Hall Of Famer]

I am not sure by what you mean by this I'll help I=f you'll explain it clearly.

Okay I'll explain. You can see the attachment I uploaded. The first one is an example of Text skin, which will be applied when you walk into an NPC and talk to him/her. The second pic is the window skin that you will see it when opening the Menu. Wichu already helped me editing the text skins into D/P style but the window skin remains the original R/S/E style. I thought the game would look weird if the text skin and window skin don't match each other well so I wish you could help me editing the window skin like the way it is in Pokemon D/P.

If you still don't get it, see the post #59 at your own game thread and you'll see what I mean by Window skin.

I thought the game would look weird if the text skin and window skin don't match each other well so I wish you could help me editing the window skin like the way it is in Pokemon D/P.
I'll try to help.
I say I'll try because I've never done it befor.

[Hall Of Famer]

That's okay but didn't you ever try editing the window skin before? I thought you did 'cause the window skin looks different from the original skin Poccil provide in your screenshots.

Good Morning! ^_^
Today I want you to make a couple of routes up.
With the maps I was working on I' was actualy at that point. I'm backtracking through the kanto maps and I'm overmapping Cinnabar through to Fushia transforming seafoam into a new cave. It makes it easier if I make the maps flow. Any other Ideas?

[PokemonPlatnum]

Emm...
Do what you feel like doing.

Well your game threads goes five pages and over 100 posts? Congratulations! I think it's quite meaningful for we game makers to get our games approved and accepted by others eventually, so keep it up and you'll get more supporters.

[SDODC13]

Ok that took a little longer than I had hoped.

Nice maps, but if it would be better if it hadn't that much rocks on the side, you get what i mean. in real pokemon games it's not like that too..!
So maybe you need to change that.. Not sure though cause if you like it who am I to say you need to change it ;)!
Otherwise the maps except for all the rocks on the side look good!
oh and p.s maybe add an extra floor to the outside cavern.. (but that's only for the last one:P)

[PokemonPlatnum]

Good Suggestions Pokemaker I totally Agree!

I'll look into the stone thing its just the tiles I'm working with are kinda weird and i can be a perfectionist when it comes to symmetry....As for the extra floor...I can try to but since it was a map over of seafoam I'm not sure if i could fit in another map acurately w/o the rom crashing. I likes to test the maps a bit to try and file out any kinks. But I'll surely look into it. Just got home though from vacation so I'm taking a bit of a break.

You're welcome, everything to help the community you know!

Do you mean you're making a hack?!

[SDODC13]

You're welcome, everything to help the community you know!



Do you mean you're making a hack?!
I'm using a map editor. I dont really know how to use rpg maker so I use Advance map. but I like to try and test my maps a bit so i have it all strung together. so esentialy my hacking of the game is going to the benifit of this game's production. I make the maps and well he said he'd put them in. Anyway onto the crashing issue. I've tried to creat my own hack a long while back but I experienced problems when I tired to add extra stuff into the game that didnt exist. So i've learned to work with what I have. I'm still inexperienced at some things though so I could never make some things work like I would want such as using a different tile set or making the maps I edited from a different part of the game flow with the ones from the part they should connect to. Stupid stuff like that has kept me from actualy making my own hack. So instead I decided to help someone else with the skills I do have rather than the ones i dont. Make sense?

[PokemonPlatnum]

well i'm back from holidays and you'll see an exicting update soon, just post 3 times after this post and i'll show it to you...

Yeah that makes sense, I used to hack pkmn games myself..
and yeah I kinda had the same issue, so I downloaded rmxp, learned myself (!) how it worked (not scripting wise though :()..
And now with the fantastic sk of Poccil I'm able to make my own Pokemon game (Pokemon Eternity, a bit of advertising isn't bad, is it ?:P)

well i'm back from holidays and you'll see an exicting update soon, just post 3 times after this post and i'll show it to you...

So update time huh?
Nice, I'm looking forward to it..!
so post people !! :D

Still learning some things with am and finaly figured out how to change the connections. I've just had a slight problem with the allignment lol. I've been toying around though trying to fix any bugs that might have occured while I made the maps. I also recently updated my program so it should be easier on me. Anyway looking forward to the update.

[PokemonPlatnum]

Ok so I would post the update......

The map's quite ok, but there are a lot of plain area's...
I'm not sure how you should fill it on this map though..
You made it kinda hard for me to improve although I know it could be improved XD!
So anyways I would give it a 7/10 !
It's not much of feedback but I hope I helped :)

PoKéMaKeR

[OblivionMew]

The map seems to be a pit too square and wide open. If you think about it when the player's walking through it the place would just look empty and plain in some areas, maybe make the map smaller and put the buildings closer to make it seem less plain. Otherwise it is a good concept.

[SDODC13]

I thought the same thing but my brain died on me last night. I have an idea though. (goes and implemens it)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v631/LF196/CentralCity-1.jpg
I kinda thought back to Goldenrod and put in more buildings and I thought it'd be funny to have a small city pond to go with it's new bike shop (Also inspired by theory of Goldenrod) Plus the railing was the best thing I could come up with to represent railroad tracks.

[PokemonPlatnum]

Ok,
I am sorry but I have lost hope in this project, if you can provide me with reasons on why I'll continue making this game post them here.
And I may change my mind.

The Reason that made me lose hope is when I see games such as Pokémon Ryen, Pokémon Raptor, Pokémon: Morning Dawn, they get maybe 10-15 more posts everyday, I try my best to work on this project, I work everyday but the people of PC just don't seem interested in a game from a newcomer, except from the likes of SDOD13 and Pokemaker. Most of my staff has left me. And what I hate the most is people Pming me for my graphics, which will never be given out: Hall of Famer has those permissions.....

If you provide me with enough reasons to continue this project post in this thread.

[Shadowlurker]

Err 1 reason , THE GAME IS REALLY GOOD :P C'mon Continue with this game people are counting on you

[PokemonPlatnum]

I really appreticate your support Shadowlurker, I hope others think the same.

I have the one and only reason for you to leave aswell as stay..!
Don't make this game for the community, make the game because you love to make games...
Really that's what keeps me going with my game, just because I love making games..
So I really hope you continue on this project, but if you don't I understand, because I felt the same way some time during my project..
But for that matter, I have one last thing to say..: Look at the bright side of it, even if it doesn't seem, much people like this game..
You can continue for the people who DO like the game!
(Jeez, what a lot of text :O)
But yeah I really hope you continue, don't let ingnorance of your game, make you discontinuing it.. :)

PoKéMaKeR

EDIT: Oh and about the map, it looks better already, but there are sme slight errors in the railing.

[Shadowlurker]

i dont see no error in the railings but that could just be my eyesight

[PoKéMaKeR]

Ok they're not real errors, but al the railing could be conected, which in my opinion looks better ;)

PoKéMaKeR

[shinylugia249]

Don't give up on the project just because of the lack of supporters! Back when I started my project I would've never thought that I would many supporters (my game was really bad).
I'm sure if you keep working on the game you'll get more attention.

[PokemonPlatnum]

I'll continue the game!
Thanks Shadowlurker, SL, Pokémaker
That means alot to me!
And Halokid I'm reporting you!

[Shadowlurker]

hey no problem your game is excelent and we just love it

[SDODC13]

I agree with pokemaker I'd assume make a game to have fun and enjoy myself even if people arent happy with it I'd still be because it was fun to do.

As for the railing I'll work on it but the tileset can be a little weird sometimes so thats why I did it that way.

Hi Pokemon Platinum:

How's everything going? It's sad that many people fail to see the potentials in your game and bash your thread but hopefully you'll have these problems settled after a series of game progresses are made. I'm recently busy with my college stuff so I may not show up on this forum very often. Anyway, I wish you good luck with this game project and please don't give it up since you've reached this far.

Have a good time!
