Pokemon XP

[rm2kdev]

Here is a teaser screen shot of our map editor.
It feature's
Flood fill tools
4 layers!
Transparency
Streatching Zoom
Grid Display
Saving and Loading in special Format
Amazingly Fast Engine
28 x 24 sized maps (default)

The mapformat i have designed is completely hack proof unlike rm2k games which crackers and hackers could change the maps 2 bypass Collisions this map system cant have anything like that done to it because the first changing of data even copying and pasteing the same data over its self will corrupt the map file and generate a hack report.

[Sion]

Your making a maker just like I am? Impressive....

[TheAbsol]

Yeah the map hacking thing sucks. I just include the map in the program...more hack proof.

EDIT: Will this just be for VB?

[Pete]

I like it! Is there a BS/MS creator

[Neo-Dragon]

Looks really good, hope all turns out well for it, I'll sure be using it :)

[Neo Genesis]

So far its looking great! Any plans on when you'll release it?

[mattgcn]

Every graphic? FRLG and RSE insides and out? Into 3MEGS? If so, PM me with it please :)

Does it allow custom tilesets?

[Superiority]

Will this come with its battle system,you just have to import the pokemon sprites and type the attacks and stuff like that?
btw,i can send you an oven and fridge sprite,had to make it for my game,fr/lg didnt include it and i hate mixing styles...

EDIT

will you make the teleportation system so that it goes like the official one?

[rm2kdev]

It will have its own battle system
Yes every graphic from FRLG RSE and they are avalibal in the resource thread its a mix of loads of chipsets from there so im assuming it has every graphic cuz theres a darn lot lol
Plans on releseing eh hmm maby when its stable :P
Please explaine the terms BS/MS creator

[rm2kdev]

Latest Updates:
-All 4 Layers now work correctly
-Shift + Left Click Sets a tiles Block Property to true.
-Shift + Right Click Sets a tiles Block Property to false.
-Map Saving and Loading Works


TO Be done.
-Beginig work on the Engine for play its self today.

How will games work o.o! well let me tell you
With pokemon XP you will not need to have a RTP as any graphics used are in cluded in the exe its self. to distribute your game you save all your maps into a folder includinng the Key "Start Map" which is the map the engine picks up as default load then in with the Map Editor there will be a file named Pokemon XP (can be renamed) and a folder called games in this folder you put a folder with all your maps in it thus meaning if a person has the Game.exe allredy you dont need 2 make a whole 10 meg seup file 2 send them (cough like rpgmaker) you zip up all your maps and send them a small 1 meg package of maps :D but if the person does not have Game.exe then you have to include it what are the possability's of this well
Multiple games can be played with just 1 Game.exe rather than rm2k which has a 3 meg exe for ever game waisting your space which you paid for wen you braught your computer where as PMXP uses 1 game.exe for an unlimited ammount of games.

[Peekimon]

It looks great. I can't wait for its release! The teaser was nice, keep up the good work.

[Superiority]

Hey i could make the gfx stuff for u
like the open,save,object one and stuff gfx

[rm2kdev]

Actually that would be quite good when do you think you will have them by?

[Superiority]

I dunno,im going to try to do them now

EDIT
here's the new game thing or whatever..

[rm2kdev]

Cool thanks for this ^^ Im working on the engine now as we speak :D

[Superiority]

Hahha np,i got some more done,couldnt do the folder though,creds to Kyle_Katarn for it

[rm2kdev]

Thanks a heap Superiority im just resizing them now so that they are all the exact same size and fit ^^ :) thanks again

NEW updates :D heres a Photo for everyone to drool on :P

[Superiority]

Sweet,and np,i love helping people out
and wow it looks amazing,cant wait for a beta or something
btw can i do something else to help?

[Illusion]

Pokemon XP looks great, but will we be able to import some pictures(ex:new pokemon, new trainer etc...)?

[rm2kdev]

At first i dont think so
Me and ExtraOrd wana get everything sorted with the first 151 monsters lol since we gotta program them all and get batlles and items n stuff working Ord is programing on it now my break :P i had it for 2 days now its his 2 :P but yeah i have plans for adding Ini Scripting which gets compiled into your mapProject so u script some monsters up
Name
Hp
Att
Str
ect
Group

then when u place grass u assign group's and only monsters from the group appear
So yea Adding your own monsters is going to be a breeze.

As for changing the tile set no (full stop) this is a pokemon engine which has every pokemon graphic you dont need more lol so no changing tilesets

Changing charsets Yes there will be a choice of many Player Images + adding your own but when we start adding out own stuff this is where we get into including RTP ect so the no RTP version is a non adding stuff version where u work with what uve got but there will be a changed one where u can include graphics as u want.

[Superiority]

Yea,but if the player accidentally deletes an important file..well that would suck,could u like do a protection thing so that it cant be deleted?

[rm2kdev]

what if the player accidentally deleted an important file in rm2k or rmxp the exact same thing wud happen the game wudnt work.

ofcource resources arnt guna be left in a folder or anything
ill prolly make some kind of packaging system where u make a .PMP (poke mon package) so all the Important files are togher and cant be edited.

[Blitz~2005]

Wow cool. Cant wait till I can use it :D


It sounds like your making everything easyer and better

[Neo-Dragon]

Those screens are amazing, I'm really hoping this works out for both of you!

[Sion]

Wow... Really good... Would you like to Affiliate with REM? ( Rpg Enviornment maker )
My teams making an rpg maker as well. That'd be cool if we were to affiliate, some of my team might even be able ot help you...

[rm2kdev]

Note to all Rem and Pokemon XP are now affiliated with long negotiations with Sion over Aol and Msn we have come to an agreement all my people out there if you truly support Pokemon XP Please Drop a line 2 Sion

[Sion]

Yeah, And I'm notifying all of Createamation to Help you out in any way possible rm2kDev...

[rm2kdev]

Thanks a heap man but i dont think that we will need any help from your team if we do i shall contact u on msn :P

[rm2kdev]

New screens to be posted in about 7 houers cme back and have a look if your intrested :P

[Superiority]

lol cant wait
and i cant do the layer thing sorry

[rm2kdev]

Yeah thats cool lol im at work now so im not ment 2be on here but heh :P

[Blitz~2005]

lol coool, keep up the good work XD

even if you are at work XD

[rm2kdev]

Okay Here are your new ScreenShots

First screenshot is a shot to show you the powerfulness of the Mapeditor You will see a Black Rectangle with a white Rectangle Under it this is the TreeSnap the white bit is the part of the tree that should overlap the old 1 and the black is where new tree goes

Second screeny is a photo of the Collision Layer Turnd On Unlike Rm2k you can set AnyTile to Blocked or unblocked anywhere this means you can have a Wall Blocked one place and the same wall Unblocked another Place :D and you can even see where is blocked and where isnt

and the last screen is a photo of the game running in the engine at 67 FPS on a 1.1 Ghz Machine :D

[Datriot]

Wow! Oh, man these are looking good! I hope this gets finished! It's awesome!

[Neo-Dragon]

Looks really good, I'm getting pretty hyped over this.
How are u letting the users code thier games? Will it be point and click commands like RPG MAKER?

[rm2kdev]

Well my thinking is a good system should allow both sooo ill be making a point and click command named Execute Script

u put it on a tile and u cant use any other point and click commands for that tile anymore from then on you have to script that tile with a basic like code i will make here is an example

''Define iInt
Loop(iInt = 0 to 10)
MessageUser("Basic Script ' " & iInt & " ' .")
Next Loop

[Peekimon]

O_O Wowz, the screens are awesome!

Eep, that language is erm... confusing... so, we'd have to code what we want in through that script? no more point and click?

[rm2kdev]

Okay Guys You got me im really building up your suspense by not relesing much infomation I will Compile a PMXP Version of the mapeditor which i will call PMXP Limited u can save and load and map nothng else none of the other special Feature's ive made :D just for u 2 have a quick look at the engine :D and actually try it (i will upload soon) Have FUN :D

[Peekimon]

oh, okee. I would really like to see this engine in action!

[rm2kdev]

You will need winzip to Unzip the archive. :D
Im going to run a small Compatiton :D
Design Maps In Pokemon XP Limeted Edition! take a photo of them and upload them minuim of 2 Maps Per User Comp Entries maynot be posted after i post END COMP the user who i choose will be PMed in secret to create the Pokemon XP Demo Game B4 it is relesed your name may not be disclosed until the editor is relesed that way Suspence to who made the Demo game will be Build :D Get your entries in soon :D

[agentalexandre12]

i get this message when i open pokemon xp.exe:

[rm2kdev]

Yeah Common problem easly Fixed Search google for Comctl32.ocx and download it :P
Put it in your C:\Windows\System32 folder then go
Start > Run and type in regsvr32 Comctl32.ocx ^^ then try running PokemonXP

[agentalexandre12]

wow very nice indeed. but i think you make the tiles in the map editor a bit bigger? its a bit to small to handle.

[ashly138]

Here a map i made with pxp :)

[Sion]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v628/FFsonic/Levica.bmp


I was bored so I mapped this, If you want you can enter it... Just showing you how i map...

[rm2kdev]

Both are GREAT Submissions and i like them both Thanks for all the support on this project everyone. Working on autoriles and Zoom tomoro morning :D

[Neo Genesis]

It still dosent work...it looks really awsome so far rm2kdev! Keep it up!

[Illusion]

Is there a way to select more than one tile at a time?Or to map using a rectangle
ex:http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/1188/rectangle8on.png like in rmxp? I can't wait for the full version!
Pokemaster_shiny

[Superiority]

Okay after playing with it for an hour or so,theres only 3 things to offer up
1)What pokemonster shiny said
2)You should be able to Move tiles (like in rm2k3)
3)You should be able to undo things(hey,people make mistakes)

[rm2kdev]

Ill inplement Diffrent Pen Styles Sooon,
Move Tiles? Explane this i dont use rm2k :P
Undoing hey sounds good :D ill work on some Undoscripts wen i finnish Zoom and AutoTiles

[rm2kdev]

YAY! finally i worked out the amazingly hardcore mathmatics of terraforming(AutoTiles) Check out the screenshot of my terraforming Demonstraion.

[Superiority]

Wow looks cool
cant wait for the final release..
no literally im dying of boredome

[Chimou]

This looks so awesome!

Some suggestions:
1. Visual battle system editor.
2. Visual menu editor.
3. Visual Pokédex editor.
4. Visual trainer status editor.

I hate dealing with scripting. I would rather be able to drag and drop the way I want things to look and behave. Is it possible to do this?

[rm2kdev]

They Sound Good :D ill have to think up some Theory Behind it then try and implement:)

[Kyle_Katarn]

1. Visual battle system editor.


What exactly do you mean by this? Is it like programming an attack and then it'll show you what it does in a seperate window?

Comctl32.ocx < I dont really want to get this file because

A. Whatever site I download it from, I'd probably get a virus
B. I never EVER get anything like this unless I know exactly
what it changes on my computer.

Anyway judging by the screens, this is gonna be awesome as a full version

[agentalexandre12]

its no virus or anything like that. it is just an active x component needed to run some programs

[Kyle_Katarn]

Well, Im convinced, I'll download it and put it in when my mum goes out of the room,
its her computer :( I had to use it since my other computer got a virus (thats why my
last post was vigalent (sp?)) and is currently being reformatted lol.

[Datriot]

This is really cool, I can't wait to see the full version!!!
Is this terraforming thing basicly a random map option, 'cause if it is, that's awesome!

[rm2kdev]

Comctl32 is basically Common Controll Library 32 Bit basically it allowes me 2 use windows buttons and textboxes and stuff in my Program ill include it in the full version and yeah its nothing unsafe or anything lol

Terraforming is autotiles basically it generates the borders of a tile like in RPG Maker series its just a very time saving feature and it will be added soon

[Datriot]

Oh, that's good then.:)
SO, there will be an events editor and stuff, and a default battle system?

[rm2kdev]

There will be 4 Battle System's
Pokemon ReD Blue green Style
Pokemon Gold Silver Crystal
Pokemon Ruby Saph and Emerald version
and
Custom

Custom is script and graphic driven you program it your self using the script language and special commands for the Battle like Battle_Init(); and BattleBG = ResPath ect so you can either use a premade battle system or make your own Easly

[Datriot]

Oh, this IS gonna be good.....calm down datriot....you're getting too exited......
breathe slowy.....

[Superiority]

Hold on...no fr/lg?
too short....

[Datriot]

Well, that's basicly the same as R/S/E

[Superiority]

yea,but the battle backgrounds are diffrent and the battle box is diff(i hate the red one..)

[Datriot]

true. but if you can import graphics you may be able to import your own battle window and stuff.

[Chimou]

1. Visual battle system editor.
I'd imagine something very clean and easy.
Tags: ailments, strings (Go! (POKéMON)! Good job, (POKéMON)! Come back!), Import specific graphics to replace the default (Status Hub: [default] [import button]).

On this note, you should probably make the editor know the difference between wild Pokémon battles, trainer battles, gym leader battles, and the champion battle. I would imagine that the event menu is something similar to RPG Maker. It would be buttons in order like:
Wild Battle Start
Trainer Battle Start
Leader Battle Start
Champion Battle Start

2. Visual menu editor.
Similar to the above, but also a tab for choosing where the menu is located on the screen.

3. Visual Pokédex editor.
Tabs: Pokémon Graphics (sorted by number, editable array size), Pokémon descriptions (sorted by number, editable array size)

4. Visual trainer status editor.
Choose between status and card.
Tabs: Badge Names (Sub Menu: Badge Graphics), Hero graphic (Male, Female; Sub Menu: Background)

Also, will the maker make auto events based on terrain. Meaning, the game already knows that if something's water, it can be surfed on. If it's long grass, wild Pokémon can appear there. If so, could you do a wild Pokémon editor similar to Advance Map? Except, you can edit the array size, of course.

[rm2kdev]

Visual Battle Editor will be very self explanitory :P

There will be flags for each battle you can set Trainer Leader Wild Champ Battle

Visual Menu Editor hmm idk about this im thinking of again making that a 3 selection thing where you can have Red Blue Green , Gold Silver Crystal Or Ruby Saph Emr

Visual PokeDex Editor will be self explanitory

and trainer stats will be implemented after all the base is made

the game engine its self will know tile types yes.

[Blitz~2005]

Wow this sounds like its getting better and better. PMXP Is going to be so great, I love the terraforming(AutoTiles). And i think what chimou said is a good idea, expecially about the pokedex editor

[rm2kdev]

Pokemon XP's Game Engine :cross-eye FIRST SCREEN! :D
-handles all the layers the mapeditor does
-handles 24 and 32 bit transparency
-handles a specially formatted CharSet with MagicBlue Transparency
-Smooth Scrolling View and Player Movement
-Player Animations Fully work as he is walking
-Collisions with collision tiles fully works.

Pokemon XP's Game Requirements :D
<MIN REQ>
-100 Meg of freespace for speed reasons
-32 Meg Graphic Card
-128 Meg of ram
-56 KB Internet Connection
-1.0 Ghz Processor Intel Chipset Pentuim2/3 or Celeron Equilivant
-Windows XP / Windows 98

<RECOMENDED REQ>
-5 GIG of freespace for speed reasons
-128 Meg Graphic Card (Ati or Nvida Perferably)
-256 Meg of ram
-256 KB Broadband connection
1.8 Ghz Processor Intel Chipset Pentum 4MT or Celeron Equilivant
-Windows XP / Windows 98

PLEASE NOTE THAT THESE REQUIREMENT SPECIFICATIONS MAY CHANGE IN THE NEER FEAUTURE AS CODE WILL CHANGE AND THINGS MAY BE ADDED OR TAKEN OUT.

If you dont meet these Specifications in the relesed version there will be a Lite version will be relesed after the first XP only engine is relesed it will work on 98 machine's much more efficiantly and will remove all 24 and 32 bit transparency so non XP users can use Pokemon XP without it lagging like hell.

PS . I hope you meet the requirements guys :P

[Chimou]

Could you try to make it compatitable for Windows 98? Thanks.

[rm2kdev]

Well it is 100% compatibal for windows 98 but it just totally favours XP but thats not saing it wont work 100% on 98 since im developing it on XP using some XP Api calls and some 98 Api calls it shud theoretically work on both BUt more so you will get better performance on XP.

NOTE just because you make a game on 98 and it runs good but not as good as it could means wen the game is played on an XP machine it will run perfectly. But 98 users dont loose hope at all as i will develop on the 98 side of things more from now :P

[Jayje]

i'm using the prog now and i gotta say. with the exception of the few things missing this is good work. heck i might even make a pokemon game myself. GOOD JOB!

[Neo Genesis]

Heres the file if you need it. COMCTL32.OCX (http://www.ascentive.com/support/new/images/lib/COMCTL32.OCX) This engine is looking awsome!!!! I really hope you finish it!

[rm2kdev]

Thank you very much.
Would you mind telling me what those missing things are? so i may implement them i know of heaps of stuff im to add but i gladly add things the people want since its you guys who are going to make games in it :)

[TheAbsol]

Is there gonna be full screen, it doesn't look right in a normal window.

[Raccoon]

Sweet,and np,i love helping people out

No... you just totally don't. And also, you're not a RM2k/3 Wizard.
Thought I'd point some stuff out.

This maker looks really cool, rm2kdev!
Make sure you include everything, all the sounds, minor details and such before the release.

[Superiority]

dude,you even said u'd flame my topic just because i said ur friend was fat,and now you hate me.
this is kinda stupid,so just shutup about this.

[Chimou]

Take this into PM, guys! Don't spam up a topic. How rude.

This is exactly what I've been waiting for all this time. I think a lot of Pokémon fans have been waiting for something like for a long time. It's good that a programmer finally decided to do this.

[Firemaker]

I have questions. Will you have items? will you include music? For pokemon will you include Munchlax, Bonsly, Manene, and Manyara? This will be a great program. I can tell!

EDIT: How many maps can you make? How big can a map be?

EDIT: What font will you have?

EDIT: Can you convert from RM2K/RM2K3? I am making a game in RPG Maker 2000 but I think this would be better.

[Sceptile_Master]

Because of it's 13 by 11 tile screen size does this mean you are going to have a different battle layout?

[Chimou]

Oh yeah. When you create a map, maybe you would have a world map indicator option. Meaning, when you open the world map, it shows where you are without any complicated stuff.

[Neo Genesis]

if you could convert from rm2k/3 can you from xp?

[Kyle_Katarn]

This is brilliant man, simply awesome, I really cant wait for the next release lol

[Blitz~2005]

Wow this is getting really popular, this could end up AS BIG as rpg maker or rm2k/3

[Raccoon]

Or perhaps bigger? There is quite a demand on Pokemon games these days!

[Chimou]

Bigger for Pokémon fans alone.

[Firemaker]

I have another question. Can you change Battle Systems for regions (Kanto, RBG Battle; Johto, GSC Battle; etc.)

[Superiority]

what exactly do u mean by G/S/C style?
Animations?

[Firemaker]

GSC style battle system. You were talking to me right?

[rm2kdev]

Sorry i havnt replyed guys ill reply to all your posts later tonight qutie busy today :) had a game of golf got a mate over and going iceskating till tonight :P ill reply to all of your posts 2night b4 i go 2 bed

[Datriot]

Wow, this is lookin' good! I have a question, you are able to add Pokemon on a game you can make on it can't you?

[rm2kdev]

How many maps can you make? How big can a map be?
Unlimeted Maps, 27 x 24 is the max size.

What font will you have?
Im thinking of making it coustomizable.

Can you convert from RM2K/RM2K3? I am making a game in RPG Maker 2000 but I think this would be better.
No you cannot copy games from rm2k / rm2k3 / rmxp due to differing tileset algorythms.

Because of it's 13 by 11 tile screen size does this mean you are going to have a different battle layout?
Absolutly not battles will be totally exactly the same as Pokemon its self.

Oh yeah. When you create a map, maybe you would have a world map indicator option. Meaning, when you open the world map, it shows where you are without any complicated stuff.
No world map creator i will be creating somekind of World Map Creator yes but it is not a map. it is a small mapeditor roughly the same size as Pokemon with 8x8 Sized tiles each tile will represent Path Water Town Route ect.

if you could convert from rm2k/3 can you from xp?
Read the other question about this.

I have another question. Can you change Battle Systems for regions (Kanto, RBG Battle; Johto, GSC Battle; etc.)
No because Kanto joto ect are not specifyed maptypes it is just Output text that gives the user a description of where they are (as is pokemon)

you are able to add Pokemon on a game you can make on it can't you?
Well what kind of PMMaker would this be if you coldnt LOL :P


Okay hope that awnserd all your questions if i missed anyout please just Post it again or something and i shall awnser.

[Superiority]

U missed my question lol
"What exactly do you mean by G/S/C battles?"

[rm2kdev]

What exactly do you mean by G/S/C battles?
Well each pokemon game "Gold , SIlver, Crystal" | "Red , Blue , Green" | "Ruby, Saph , Eme" has a theme for their battles

Gold Siver Crystal = a colourd version of the old gb games battle system
Where as Red Blue Green has a Colour themed battle system
And Ruby Saph and Emerald have nice Colour Battles this allowes people who wana make classic Game Boy pokemon remakes the oppotunaty to use the old battle systems rather than the new ones.

[Chimou]

I meant. Could you import a world map image, then under map properties specify the location the current map is on the world map?

[Superiority]

huh?
confusing..lol
*too short..*

[Kyle_Katarn]

When youopen the world map, that little face that shows you where you are, thats what she's talking about I think

[Sorye HK]

A lot of people seem to be gaining interest. I hope that you do well.

[Superiority]

Yup this is ownage
fan-made systems rule =p
if theyre made right that is...

[rm2kdev]

Ah i see what you mean okay well each map will have a propertey that i will call the "Common Tag" then each Town i place in the townmap Maker will also have a "Common Tag" thus if both common tags are identical then that is where you are on the map :)

Example:
I have mapped my map i go Settings > Common Tag and type in Map00001
then
i start making my world map i place a town and i set its Common Tag to Map00001

then i go File Run Game
I walk to the map with the Common Tag Map00001 and hit "A" to bring up the menu i scroll down to PokeNav and select (NAME) world Map because both common tags were the same my little man is displayed on that map :)

[Datriot]

hmmm...intresting, I think we're gonna have to get used to using this...

[rm2kdev]

Well ofcource it will come with a Full Help File explaning every nook and cranny of the engine and how to use it and it will come with Example Games and all sorts.

[Datriot]

That's good, 'cause I didn't have a help file with rm2k or any help whatsover, so it took me ages to learn how to use it.

[rubyrulez]

I know it may not be for a while, but I can't wait for this to be fully completed!

Good Job and Good Luck! :)

[Chimou]

It seems to be progressing pretty quickly. I hope demos will be released now and then though.

[rm2kdev]

im glad you all have taken intreset. and i hope that you dont get bored waiting lol cuz it will take some time to fully make it but it is progressing well.

[Hacker]

WOW!!!!! this looks exelent!!! please, please can i help you?

[Kyle_Katarn]

Oh will you be able to name your maps? I think this was asked before but the pages end up being too long here so I just cant be bothered going back lol

[King Boo]

Gimmey! how did you get it just asking?

[Datriot]

just wait for rm2kdev to post a demo, I can't wait either!

[mko]

Awesome! I hope you finish it soon. ;)

[Jayje]

best of luck to you guys on this game system. looks goos hope the demo is as good as it sounds

[Chimou]

Some more suggestions:

1. Font Editor
2. Tile Editor
3. Intro Movie Maker/Editor

[Jeremi the Anubis]

This is awesome! Keep up the good work!

[Burninating_Torchic]

I'm almost blinded by the sheer pwnage. This is especially great for me, because NONE of Elitemap's extra tools, besides the map editor itself, work for me. A new tool will be great.

Anyways, I decided to enter the contest thingy, if it's still going.

http://img318.imageshack.us/my.php?image=examplepxp8hg.png

Mine's the first city map entered...which could help or hurt me, I guess.

Anyways, that's the prototype version of the map of one of the cities in the game I would currently be making if elitemap didn't hate me.

The place is called Evolution city, and as the name suggests, it's where you get evolution stones in the game.

The story behind it is that the mines beneath the city(that's what the little cave leads to) were the first place evolution stones were discovered. They then exported to all over the world, making the city very rich.

The gym leader there uses eeveelutions. =P

[Chimou]

Pokemon XP is for making original, PC-generated games. This is not for hacking a ROM. Please, learn the difference.

[Original T]

This is so cool well done

[Burninating_Torchic]

Pokemon XP is for making original, PC-generated games. This is not for hacking a ROM. Please, learn the difference.

No, I realize that. I realize it's not a ROM Hacker.

However, if I'm understanding it correctly, it does generally the same thing: lets you make your own pokemon games.

The point of my story isn't ROM Hacking, it's just the fact that I want to make my own pokemon game, using any program necessary.

And don't suggest rm2k3. I can barely even do that the way it's originally intended to do, let alone all the scripting that would go with making a Pokemon game on it.

[Firemaker]

Burninating Torchic, in your map, the houses have the trainer tip signs, should have the same signs as the town

[Burninating_Torchic]

Burninating Torchic, in your map, the houses have the trainer tip signs, should have the same signs as the town

Actually, the trainer tip signs are intentional. It's the new style of signs in the game, I feel that houses are not as significant as landmarks and therefore should have different signs. All houses in the game will have the trainer tip signs, and there aren't going to be Trainer Tips in the routes or w/e.

Also, you'll notice the "streets" in the city aren't very organized like in previous Pokemon games. That is also intentional. In the real world, streets aren't always lined up in straight fancy little lines.

Both those aspects are more things that could help or hurt me in this contest =P

[Firemaker]

Actually, the trainer tip signs are intentional. It's the new style of signs in the

That is a good idea Burninating Torchic

[Burninating_Torchic]

That is a good idea Burninating Torchic

Please, call me BT. It's shorter, easier, and less formal.

Anyways, I don't know if this has been adressed yet, but I've found your system of putting objects on the map to lack one thing.
The ability to put multiple tiles on the map at the same time.
What I mean by this is in rm2k or rm2k3, you can highlight/select more then one tile at a time in the chipset window, then click on the map and all the tiles you selected will be there.
This is useful for things like buildings, where in the version of PXP you gave us to make our maps with, you would have to select each part of the building one by one, but in the RPG Maker games, you could put the entire building on the map at the same time, not each part one by one.

[Firemaker]

That was the demo, not much to do, RM2KDev is making a full version. I think that is one of it's features

[Burninating_Torchic]

Yeah, I know that was the demo. What I was saying is that I hope the full version has that feature.

Anyways, I'm working on another map now, much better then my Evolution City map. If you're allowed to enter 2 maps in the contest(I think I read that that's the case), I enter them both, but if not, I'm going to enter the one I will be posting shortly.

[Datriot]

man, he hasn't updated in ages!:(
What's happenin'!

[Chimou]

Stop complaining. It's only been three days.

[Burninating_Torchic]

I agree with Chimou. 3 days isn't "ages".

Anyways, here it is...I think it's much better then the Evolution City Map...

I'm not sure if that would be part of Hydrogen/Oxygen(my games) or not.

If it is, it's like this: the little river with dock at the bottom is how you get there, whether by boat early in the game or by surfing later in the game. Then, various parts of this town become availabe when you get certain HMs. The cave thingy at the bottom is what I like best about this place, and I think that if it is in the game, inside the cave is one of the three legendary dragons(the game's 3 pokemon, in place of the birds, the beasts, the regis). The item at the top of the cave is obviously something rare, I'm even considering making it the master ball.

[Sorye HK]

The map looks nice, but how about a couple more houses?

[Innocence]

32 meg graphics card

32 meg? isn't that a bit much for a pokemon fan game map editor? atleast make a low graphics mode.

[Datriot]

sorry, i'm just excited.....:(

[Burninating_Torchic]

The map looks nice, but how about a couple more houses?

If you're talking about my newer map, this is why there aren't many houses:
It's not a city.
It's just intended to be a little island-type thing surrounded by forest, rivers, and the sea(which, btw, I didn't see a tile for-where is the tile? You know, for the sea water, not the river water I used in my map). It's got a PokeMart, PokeCenter, and the one house belongs to the guy who owns the boat you get there on.

[Firemaker]

That is because the sea water is an autotile which RM2KDev is working on still.

[Burninating_Torchic]

Well, I made a new map. I like it a lot, so I am replacing my city map with it as my entries.

So my two entries are this one and the second one I posted.

[freakboy]

is it possible to change to resolution of the screen?
so that people can make it in gba style

[bu_doko]

This Looks So Awesome! (too

[Chimou]

Just so people know, this does work fine on Windows 98.

[Bigfoot]

This is great although I would like a link to the updated pokemon xp version that lets me compile the game or a least run it.
Will it have a custom tileset feature?

[sphereslayer]

32 meg? isn't that a bit much for a pokemon fan game map editor? atleast make a low graphics mode.

Lol that had me laughing for a while. And what do you call 'low graphics mode' ? 32megs is a pitiful amount, if you have a 32meg card or less then you need to have a serious talk to your parents (don't be scared to use the back of your hand ;) ) or you need to get a job, I mean come on 32megs was like 1999, they cost like $10 now :\

[Chimou]

This is great although I would like a link to the updated pokemon xp version that lets me compile the game or a least run it.

You can't just demand that he post a demo update. Right now all it does is make simple maps. You can't make events or anything yet.

[ExtraOrdinary]

Erhmmmmmmm...........

Please Chimou don't give me acute messages again!
Have this small present! :P :P

[Firemaker]

What is that? This is pokemon XP, not Pokemon Pic

[DarkDoom3000]

whao cool !!!!
that remindes me fo thoes pokemon hack programs

[Chimou]

That wasn't Pokémon XP, it was PokéPC, but Doom is right. I wouldn't like it if you had to script out all of the events. That would suck.

[shadow909]

hi where did you guys get the demo version of pokemon xp, oh and it looks awsome.

[Firemaker]

A few things Shadow 909, wait for other people to post. Triple posting is not allowed. Also pokemon XP has those items in the tile set already.

Where is RM2Kdev? Did he quit? I thought he promised not to quit. It's been 24 days since he updated

[shadow909]

first of all i did not triple post. and sencond, i would use advadce map than this. since i havnt use this. cause i dont know where you guys got the demo.

[Chimou]

Pokémon XP is NOT for hacking a ROM. This is the game development forum, not the ROM Hacking forum. Learn the difference please.

[Firemaker]

first of all i did not triple post. and sencond, i would use advadce map than this. since i havnt use this. cause i dont know where you guys got the demo.
You did triple post (or it looked like you did) You can't just delete your posts and lie. As for the demo it was on the 2nd or 3rd page

[shadow909]

lie?????????????????? i didnt lie....... jeeze well if i did well sorry for "lying",, really really sorry.

[Sion]

Alright guys, Since I'm affiliated with Ryan he tells me a bit about Pokemon XP over Msn most days, Last time we spoke about it. He said his holidays were over and it;d be hard to keep working on XP. Summers are kinda short. I just want you all to know that. heh he should make Chimou secretary she always protects it.

[Pete]

Haven't been on this for ages....
It looks really good though. Can't wait for it!

[Chimou]

I think he should get a programming partner that can work on it when he can't.

[Datriot]

yeah, I agree. The progress will go a lot faster then

[Hacker]

yes, i did already ask if i can help program it, but he didnt awnser

[ExtraOrdinary]

x__x
I think this project is dead :dead: , but ryan can make it alive again :D

[Smarties-chan]

Nooo live, live you can't let this thing die, it's the best project ever.

[ShadowEmperor93]

When is the download page going to be uploaded?

[Datriot]

*sigh* I think it is dead, how come all the good things die...:(

[Smarties-chan]

It's because the makers get bored of all the hard work and no one else has the skill to continue the project.

[shadow909]

man i think this is dying , man all the good thing goes to waste............

[Sion]

He's busy i already told u guys. School sucks... I start next week...

[shadow909]

He's busy i already told u guys. School sucks... I start next week...

welcome to my world... you start in monday huh? hmph of course.

[Hacker]

Well i been talking to Ryan on msn. He doesnt want help :(

BUT he did tell me something to tell you all.. it will have 3dfog or something :)

[Datriot]

3dfog? oooh, sound intresting!:)

[Smarties-chan]

3dfog? Ooo cool well I'm looking forward to new updates.

[Firemaker]

I wonder when he will update here again. Maybe on the weekend. I think 3d fog will be neat.
RM2Kdev was on yesterday. Maybe he will give an update. I saw 3 threads named "Should Pokemon XP live"
He should he took a lot of time into that game. Also, the english versions of RPG Maker downloaded for free are illegeal.
If we keep on posting about the program, the thread won't die

[Hacker]

well as most of you know, ryan has quit Pokemon XP BUT dont worry! he has let me take over. I am pretty good with Visual Basic so i think i willl be allright. but currently i cant use VB at my mums (over the weekdays) so over the week end i will bring the cd and install it on my laptop :)

[Cursed]

Yay!!! It's alive!!! Celebrate!!! *festive music*

[Datriot]

well, actually, I don't think it is, rm2kdev hasn't posted on here for ages, someone just decided to post in this thread.

[Cursed]

Read Hacker's post before you blame me.

[rm2kdev]

Hence hackers name Hacker no he didnt hack me and steel it i did give it to him who knows maby i will come back and team with hacker also and program with him
(quiet hush from croud)

[Jalapeno]

This would be so awesome. =\

[Hacker]

yes. one thing though unless ryan does it for me i wont be able too do the 3d fod (i havnt a clue how!)

also i may fix a few of the major errors and release another version of it :)

as i know you have been waiting sooo long

[rm2kdev]

Major Erros PFFFT theres no major erros when i program :D XD Jksjks :P yes ill help with the 3d fog also i have a small update for you Hacker i did some work on the engine it runs much better now contact me on msn if you want it

[Hacker]

lol, i just mean a couple of stuff that i havnt got time for yet as they take a long time. but here is a version with the game engine in but as to programs, you have to make the maps on Pokemon XP then open them on Pokemon XP Game Enigine and play it, on the game engine there is many errors and bugs but... i will get this new engine from ryan and put it in for the next version.

[rm2kdev]

L00kin good hacker i like the new GUI Changes i would susgest messaging me for the new fixes ive made lol but meh if u dont want them

[Hacker]

got them! :) btw. how do you make the collions that you made on your test1.pmx?

(the red spots)

[QFred]

I downloaded it but I doesn't let me do nothin!

[Hacker]

well... errrmm you must not be usin it properly. later on i will write a help file for it.


but right now i have 2 big problems!


1. i now have dial up so i cant come on often.

2. i got new update for Pokemon XP but now the frmMain page of the editor (main page) has diserperd!! so i need to try and get it back!... cn anyone here decompile the editor?? otherwise i have to start it from the first version mad by ryan,a i dont want to have to go that far back!!!


But i will keep on trying.... also later on when i have it workng again i will create a newtopic for Pokemon XP.

[rm2kdev]

O.o OMG dude how can you loose a frmMain.frm file o.o seriously dude out of all the projectes ive ever done ive not lost a file for a project o.o i mean cmon dude its all in the same directory under signifigantly named files.. what did u do go in trying to make space on your computer and delete it o.o .....

oh and btw i dont think you should be asking
a, can any one decompile it being that VB is UNDECOMPILEABLE (and any one who beleves otherwise is being led on by projects like dcpl4vb)
and
b, i dont think that this is something you broadcast... Oh ive lost the project soruce code... should come to me nexttime o.o

[slayerseitaro]

I read the first page or so of your thread and desided to post without reading the rest. So if youve already anserwed my question im sorry I was to lazy to read all of those pages. I wanna start by giving you mad props and just say "Respect". Now for the question that you may not like and I do not mean to "dis" you with this at all but, Other then to expand your own skills why whould you make another game makeing program. If you finish it more noobies are gonna use it and not take the time to learn how to code for them selfs. At most I would just make a open source pokemon engine in c++ or somthing like that so people whould be motivated to learn how to code and not wait for more game/RPG makers to come out.

If this sounds like disrespect I pormise I dont mean it like that...

It sounds like your saying hes doing this so noobs can be lazy?
NO! Hes doing this to help people who can't code in RGSS You can't come and say this will stop people learning it won't people will lear from the code in the starterkit so don't come here and say people are using it to be lazy ;)

[[_DarkDragon_]]

dude, this has nothing to do with RMXP it's C++ for God's sake!
but I think you misenderstood this thread with the starterkit one because this one is not what canbe theoretically called a "Starter Kit" and it isn't for RMXP but C++ :)

[Hacker]

Ryan, I have never lost one before either. But i think mabye.... when i put it on my flash card it didnt copy, it cut. So over the weekend i will look at my flash card to see if frmMain is on it. if not then.. i will have to start from the begining again.

btw. i cant get msn working (doesnt work on my mums laptop)


EDIT: dark dragon, this is not c++ this is VB (Visual Basic).

[slayerseitaro]

LOL Hacker you need to back dat @$$ up and by @$$ I mean dont lose your porjects...

Are you guys useing pure VB or what are you guys doing so this Prog of your goes fast?

[[_DarkDragon_]]

my bad then :P I had the idea that ryan said smth about c++ but forget it then :P

[MasaXGPMat]

i have an error wen i try playin your game

[bob5000]

I also get an error .................

[Hacker]

soo... whats the error? some errors i put in on purpoe, like New. It is just saying that if you havnt saved already then you have losd the map, i will change that later.

[bob5000]

no an error that disallows me to open it

[rm2kdev]

Ok firstly this isnt being made so N00Bs can be lazy because N00bs have to start somewhere... this will be a steping stone for people who want to make a pokemon game and totally suck at rmxp or 2k or 2k3 and once they have grasped the concepts of game design they should move on up to bigger things like c++

[Hacker]

I have got it! Pokemon XP V1.1!

I found the files on my flash card so i edited back to what V1.1 was.

here you got, i have you like it.

[slayerseitaro]

Keep Up the work...Rockin! Truely Rockin!

[rm2kdev]

Pretty Glitchy Dude o.o
u mite wana send me some updated soruce so i can go and debug it

[Hacker]

ok will do. works fine on my comp.

btw. a thing for you all,

Even though i have many idea for pokemonxp which i wont say yet.

Can anyone give me suggestions? and what to program for it next?

[Budgie_boy]

What do you have?

What I want to see:

TCG
Minigames
Pinball
Fusion Centre
Online Capability
Lan Capability
Less Bugs and Glitches!

[tdata]

A bigger screen size. I can't see much with it so small... So 'zoom' in a bit.

[[_DarkDragon_]]

change your screen resolution and there you go XD

[Hacker]

What do you have?

What I want to see:

TCG
Minigames
Pinball
Fusion Centre
Online Capability
Lan Capability
Less Bugs and Glitches!


OK! most should be doable.

I had already thought of online compatilabty! so i will ask yan for help with hat and should have it in version3.0 or something.

last one will be sorted sooon... minigames... well... mabye. but probly only a choice oflike 4 or 5.
