How are you all, dudes?

Here comes my second topic about POKéPC! It's a continuation of the topic I posted last year, but this one is more advanced and complicated!

1-What is POKéPC?
http://members.lycos.co.uk/pokepc/img/box.png

->Script-driven actions are now supported.
->Started in programming wild POKéMON battling system.
->In-game animations (non behaviours of tiles) are supported.
->Forelayer of tiles overlapping the sprites.
->Map border like trees or running waves is supported.

4-Screenshots from the engine :

What should I post in my reply?
->Your windows type (XP/ME).
->FPS you see while running the engine (i.e. the number you see up in the screen while you are running the engine).
->Your rating for the engine (0 to 10)
->Your personal opinion and suggestions for the engine (feel free! :classic: )
->If an error occured, DON'T POST IT! Instead PM me.

5-Where can I download the engine?
You can download current version from HERE (http://pokepc.normmatt.com/downloads/pokepc_1.5.zip) or HERE (http://members.lycos.co.uk/pokepc/pokepc/pokepc_1.5.zip).

Major Update (1.5.0.0):
1- Supported map connections finally!
2- Different walking modes like running mode.
3- Supported map wraps and gamma fading methods.
4- Fixed speed issues.
5- Wild POKéMON battle finally!

8- New bonus map (LEGEND ISLANDS).

Waiting for your replies................... :rambo: :rambo:

[Dream Illusionist]

It's nice... Dunno what to say more, I have to see more things ;)

[Dawson]

I suggest you use a better host because Lycos is poor and unreliable. Sounds like you've made great progress though, I'd love to test it out.

[ExtraOrdinary]

Thanks for your replies, dude!
Links were fixed!

Feel free now to test it!

[Jeff_PKLight]

Hmm... the demo ran smooth, although I couldn't move anywhere else besides the town. :D

Just some things...
1. The controls (with arrows) are a bit weird. If you are, say, moving up, and you hold the right key with moving up, then letting go of the up key, you can't move right. Instead, you'll have to press and hold one key at a time...
2. When you use the action key, the words just pop up, instead of doing the letter by letter effect.
3. You can stand on doors.

Otherwise, very neat. 7/10 :)

[Raccoon]

I really didn't like the movement system at all... its horrible... fix that and it'll be fine :)

[Superiority]

Umm..why is the site in chinese??

Please it's only version 0.4!!
These missing things you are talking about are still in make!
Remember that I offer extra programming not using RPG Makers!! :D
Maybe I was bit busy in programming the new tools for programming sphere, and adding new features to the map editor scripts! :classic:

I really didn't like the movement system at all... its horrible... fix that and it'll be fine.

What's horrible in it? You didn't explain enough!

Umm..why is the site in chinese??

XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD
The site isn't in Chinese! That has no relation to our topic!

I did the 0 to 10 one...


Otherwise, very neat. 7/10 :)

Also, I was just trying to tell you things to fix. ;)

[Chimou]

I would like to post the steps, but I can't figure out how to download it. Your direct-link doesn't work because Lycos doesn't support direct-linking.

True, the site isn't in Chinese. It's in Arabic. I can still get a general idea where to go, by looking at the link targets, but that's it. In the programs section, it isn't listed. I'm at a loss.

[Jayje]

i just downloaded it. pretty cool. can't wait to see what else ya do. keep it up! :D

[Sorye HK]

My computer shuts down every time I try and run the program. Weird.

[Illusion]

My computer shuts down every time I try and run the program. Weird.
It's strange me too, when t asks me if I'm using winxp...Screens look nice.
Pokemaster_shiny

[ExtraOrdinary]

My computer shuts down every time I try and run the program. Weird.

In fact, it's not shutting down man! It's just loading the data but in a black window. So, we may have thinked of Shut Down :D

Other questions are n00bish, so I won't reply as I said "If an error occured, you MUST send a PRIVATE MESSAGE to me"!!! :chinese:

[Illusion]

My comp really shuts down, i have to push the power button to start it up again..(It always shuts down when I'm trying to run a program it doesn't like..)

[TheAbsol]

Can't you auto detect XP? After all its is VB.

[Dawson]

Okay, as requested by you:


->Your windows type (XP/ME). XP
->FPS you see while running the engine (i.e. the number you see up in the screen while you are running the engine). 64 FPS
->Your rating for the engine (0 to 10) I think it's too early in development to give a fair rating.
->Your personal opinion and suggestions for the engine: There didn't seem to be much there, just talking to a few NPC's. I was expecting to see some kind of early battle system since you listed it as one of the things you'd been working on.

[outlaw]

->Your windows type (XP/ME). XP
->FPS you see while running the engine (i.e. the number you see up in the screen while you are running the engine). 60 FPS
->Your rating for the engine (0 to 10) I can't give it a rating since not much happens yet
->Your personal opinion and suggestions for the engine: It was just 2 maps of talking to NPCS there werea few buildings that you couldn't go in. You should work on it more before you release another version

[sphereslayer]

I think it's great that your doing this. Vb, while considered an easy language to learn, is ALOT harder to work with than the rpg maker series. Anyone who criticizes ExtraOrdinary's work needs to ask themselves "Could I do this ?" The majority of you will answer "NO I can't, I'm too useless and lazy to learn how to." Constructive criticizm, Im sure is appreciated but not blunt remarks like:

I really didn't like the movement system at all... its horrible
Anyways on a lighter note, ExtraOrdinary keep up the good work, I'll be following closely, this looks like a project thats actually going to be finished :classic: Good luck !

I only now realized that there are still good people in this world!

As you said, Constructive criticizm! That's it!

[Hack_Slash_Scizor]

lol, good work, im makin a side game with sphere, and i know how hard that is, so this must also be pretty dmn hard to make.im srry, but i dpont get what it is tho? is it a pkmn game or what, cos all i culd do was walk around on 2 maps... which is cool, but i dont know if immmissing something or not...

[sphereslayer]

Don't mean to be a pain but correct english helps alot ;) This is an engine like the rpg maker series but it's sole purpose is to make pokemon games :D So basically think 'Pokemon RPG maker' . . . pretty much sums it up lol I hope that helped :classic:

[Hack_Slash_Scizor]

oh ok, thx :D, good luck Extraordinary, and btw, what are u making it with...?

[TheAbsol]

oh ok, thx :D, good luck Extraordinary, and btw, what are u making it with...?

To be fair to Raccoon, ExtraOrdinary did ask for "personal opinions" of the engine. That's exactly what he gave, he didn't like a part of it so he said it.

Well, true, the movement does need to be fixed. Jeff explained the problem earlier in the thread so I wont just repeat what he said.

[ExtraOrdinary]

Totally true, I asked for personal opinion in the CURRENT VERSION but after you reply by the steps I put in the head of the topic!

I only tried to make the topic more regular like a wide non-limited poll, but it now seems to be a jungle of acute criticizm!! :dead: :dead:

[sphereslayer]

Like I said CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICIZM, theres no need for blunt unhelpful remarks, if you've got nothing good or HELPFUL to say, don't say anything at all.

[Burninating_Torchic]

are we supposed to be able to make our own maps and stuff, or just walk around in the ones you made, because that's all I seem to be able to do...

[ExtraOrdinary]

Concerning editing maps and other stuff, I haven't made a decision yet!
I should first finish the basic functions in my engine, then I will decide what data can be edited and other data which are constant.

Any way, I won't make any release for the public before version 1.0 (Official first release)!!

[ExtraOrdinary]

Major Update (0.6):
Supported map connections finally!
Wrapping methods were fixed!
More tilesets and sprites were added!

[shadow909]

umm i tried downloading but theres no files inside the zip.

[Chimou]

So... What's the purpose of this then if you're not going to make it a game engine?

[ExtraOrdinary]

Shadow909: The file is working try those mirrors:
http://pokepc.normmatt.com/pokepc_0.4.zip
http://www.gamedash.info/pokepc/pokepc_0.4.zip

Chimou: The engine I'm making have many facilities......
Through it gonna be online, I don't think that it'd be open-source or mapping-enabled.
But I'm replacing this with great features and surprises soon XD !

[Matt12345678]

What should I post in my reply?
->Your windows type (XP/ME). XP
->FPS you see while running the engine (i.e. the number you see up in the screen while you are running the engine). 50
->Your rating for the engine (0 to 10) Based on the fact that you just began it, i'd rate it 10/10 for what was there
->Your personal opinion and suggestions for the engine (feel free! ) I can't wait to see the Custom Battle System!
->If an error occured, DON'T POST IT! Instead PM me.

[shadow909]

thank you very much extraordinary.! this things cool....

[Outermon]

on the main page of pokepc.tk you could put a direct, ENGLISH link plz. I cant read it, i am downloading .4 now.

[Outermon]

My computer just gives up on the download in 5 mins (literally) and it says its done and then it says the zip is incomplete!

[Chimou]

Don't double post.

Delete the incomplete file, and then attempt to save the file another folder when downloading it again.

[Avatar]

Your windows type (XP/ME)
FPS you see while running the engine (i.e. the number you see up in the screen while you are running the engine): Average 56-60 FPS
Your rating for the engine (0 to 10): 4 (not much to rate ATM)
Your personal opinion and suggestions for the engine (feel free!): The color palettes on your ripped sprites were horrible, I suggest you get new ones.

Other than that everything else seems fine. Didn't really have any problems with the engine myself.

[ExtraOrdinary]

Thanks everybody for the cool replies!
for pokepc.tk it's such crappy! It's an Arabic site in fact for translating pokemon ruby and ninja gaiden game!
Gonna fix sprites more!
Finally, big thank you goes for Chimou!

[ExtraOrdinary]

I really forgot about version 0.7!!

Things look like they've brightened up. The colour of the words look bad, but that's all I can say for now.

[ExtraOrdinary]

No problem our great moderator!
This font can be changed in the future, so it's OK! :)

[ZeroArmada]

...um I think the link is broken but this does seem really cool but 1 question, how easy will it be to use the engine?..

[PokeCreator_09]

oKAY, IT'S GONNA TAKE SOME MORE WORK and
1. Why don't you make it to where the person gets to choose the color of the text
2. What are you using to make this game

If you had read the first post, you'd know what language it was programmed in.

[ExtraOrdinary]

Sorry cuz the server is being upgraded or something x_x
The link workZ fine now!

[TheAbsol]

How do you go in the houses?

[ExtraOrdinary]

Hey guys! Where are your replies???

Wild system now works very fine!
I'll post some shots later soon! :rambo:

[ExtraOrdinary]

No replies yet?
What happened, friends??

[DarkPegasus]

I haven't been here for awhile(Game Devolopment) so what's new here? Were are those screens you promised?

[ExtraOrdinary]

I haven't been here for awhile(Game Devolopment) so what's new here? Were are those screens you promised?
I will post more screens when I find that this forum is really interested in what I do ^^'.

[AbareMax]

Well, ExtraOrdinary the only way people will be interested is if they see what you have accomplished so far. I for one am eager to see.

AbareMax

[Jayje]

yeah me too. i wannna see how far you've come with this. dont keep us waitin.

[Chimou]

What's your game going to be about. I can only assume it's a game you're making.

It's just that you gave the impression that this would be a customizable engine, and it's not.

[AbareMax]

I agree with Chimou. I thought that it was a gamemaking progam. That is what it was perceived as by my many of us.

AbareMax

[ZeroArmada]

Ditto, honestly I think people would like to see progress on the engine, you really haven't released that many features about your engine and your demo only consist of an example of a game but it dosen't allow you by any means to develop a game. If you do finish this engine, you could consider using the game as an example though to give a clearer idea on how the engine works. Well...good luck! :)

[ExtraOrdinary]

Thanx for your replies!!
Making this engine will be the present for all PC! :)

Well, please be patient as many members told me "You didn't show something new.", but I say that I created something that I can call it new!
If it wasn't at gaming field, I think it'd appear in the PC platform system and programming work :D

Have fun!

[ExtraOrdinary]

What's your game going to be about. I can only assume it's a game you're making.

It's just that you gave the impression that this would be a customizable engine, and it's not.

Oh, it's still in progress :rambo:
Wait until I make a good decision about this sensitive case :confused:
I think it'd be 65% rpg maker and 35% a game :\

Whatever, I'd be happy to see you enjoying a true online pokemon game using my little POKéPC engine! :)

[ExtraOrdinary]

Here are the new wild battle mode pics......
Please no comments about the "ELEKTRIKE Lv13 m" Sign as itz not ready yet ^^''

The other picture is the boxart made by my good friends ;)
For viewing the box art select "Save target as..." :cool:

Waiting for replies :rambo:

[Sorye HK]

The battle system looks great! I was just wondering why the screen though isn't in the center..

[ExtraOrdinary]

The battle scene without the text box is in the middle, but the text box gonna be reset to make the whole box in the middle ;)

[shadow909]

i downloaded thee demo and to it just stayed black and that all. well nice screens.

[ExtraOrdinary]

i downloaded thee demo and to it just stayed black and that all. well nice screens.
1- You didn't mention which demo version you are talking about.
2- This isn't an error in version 0.4, but it's a black screen waiting for loading gfx.
3- You should download the latest version 0.7 and post your reply as in the thread header.
4- Please guys, I got fed of these short replies. Please when you get a problem, post more information and a screenshot if possible.

Yours,
ExtraOrdinary.

[Chimou]

Don't demand replies. We have nothing else to discuss. Give us something to discuss.

OK! What do you want in POKéPC upcoming game concerning storylines, new features... etc. Feel free to post your impression and ideas for the games gonna be made in POKéPC toolkit.

[QFred]

Ok, I have XP and I downloaded the latest version, the 0.7. The FPS was between 40 and 44. I played for a bit and I noticed some things:
- You don't have a menu,
- The movement was a bit slow even while running,
- You can't enter Birch's lab,
- Wild Pokémon didn't appear on the first route.

Thanx my dear friend for the notes u posted :D
1- FPS 40<->44: FPS methods got better in winXP I see.
2- Menu: Added finally in version 0.9 (v0.9 not released yet).
3-Slow movement: Map buffering functions was fixed in v0.9.
4-BIRCH's lab: not a problem, as this is only an engine not a complete game, eh?
5-Wild POKéMON: Surprise ;) .

Wait for next official version 1.0 soon :D

[freakboy]

amazing screens, battlesystem looks very good.
is it possible to remove the purple background and replace it with the map?
like in booda's game.
and is it possible to change the resolution of the screensize, so that it looks like a gba size?

hope to see the next version soon :D

Thanks freakboy for your reply! :)
1-Purple background is just temporary and gonna be replaced soon. ;)
2-Booda's Call of Latios is the best game out there at the moment, I hope I can design a single adventure like he made.
3-Resolution here is 320x240, I see that this resolution is very optimum for all POKéMON games on PC.
4-There is also a fullscreen mode that will work if you don't have the buggy Windows XP Service Pack 2. :D
5-Windows ME is my favourite gaming OS. If you think that Windows XP is better than it in game speed, try yourself running a game on XP and ME and you will notice the gap in gfx performance. :\

Hope to see more replies....

Those look awsome! But you spelt Salamence wrong.Looks like you also made the hp bar work and that looks good too! 5-Wouldn't the game be fast depending on what processer you have? Not by the windows os?

[Cursed]

Yeah, I bet so. (I'm typing this because my message is too short.)

[The Dash]

....Hey..... link ist borken man :(

[ExtraOrdinary]

Shade: Oh my! Oh my! @______@
1- I didn't mis-spell "Salamence" name only I nicknamed it "Salamency" XD
2- Windows XP isn't efficient in gaming as it has some speed issues in DirectX library that I use to program POKéPC, this bug was fully completed in Service Pack 2 as I said before.
3- Processor isn't all! There are also RAM, VGA and your brain so as not to insult me again saying "YOU SPELT Salamence wrong". :nervous:

Cursed: What do you mean? x__X

ダッシュ: Which link is broken? If the download link try http://pokepc.normmatt.com/downloads/pokepc_0.7.zip

[Sharpedo]

I don't really get it anymore. Is this a pokemon based rpg-toolkit or a full game?
Keep up the good work. The battlesys looks awesome;)

[ExtraOrdinary]

Thanks for the reply!
Of course it's a toolkit that can be used to make full games! :)

(VI)Troubleshoot FAQ:

1- The program gives me a run-time error "Object doesn't support this action". Why?
A: This has probably occured because of running the fullscreen mode of the program under Windows
XP with Service Pack 2 installed. You should run the windowed mode instead as SP2 doesn't
support resolutions less than 800x600 pixels.

2- The game hanged in the middle of wild battle scene. What to do?
A: Right click on your Desktop -> Choose Properities -> "Settings" tab -> "Advanced" button ->
"Monitor" tab -> Set refresh rate to 70 Hz at least or higher if you have good VGA card.

3- The game is running slow on my PC. What to do?
A: You should set your VGA card refresh rate to its optimal value or at least 70 Hz following
the steps mentioned in the previous answer.

WAITING FOR YOUR REPLIES :D :D

[Barry]

Well I said it wouldn't work because I thought I was missing some files but I found out why so nevermind that. Looks good. Still in great development though.

Edit: Nevermind about the map transition. It was something else, lol. So what do you use to code this? I mean, notepad won't open it.

[ZeroArmada]

Very Nice! There was a little problem with Zapdos and Articuno where if you press Z they cry but you wont ingage in battle until you press Z again. Other than that its great especially the cbs.

[Dudedude]

iS THIS a gme creation programme of an actual game?

Where's the credit for my hero sprite? I specifically noted that you MUST give me credit when using in the readme file on my website.

Oh my! Are you the maker of these sprites?
I think you should be proud of it instead of complaining about the credits...

Well, I asked you before to make some sprites and be member of the team, but you refused :(

Others: Yes! It's a part of an actual game called "POKéPC : Rainbow Edition" :D

[Dudedude]

sO,ITS A SYSTEM TO CREATE POKEMON GAMES AND A GAME!cool!!!

[ExtraOrdinary]

I'm pleased that you've finally got it although you could notice it in the beginning of the topic ^^'

YAY!! Now 100 posts :D

[Dudedude]

One LAST QUESTION!wHEN i DOWNLOAD YOUR LATEST VERSION,i CANT ENTER IT!wHAT GIVES!

[ExtraOrdinary]

Use a download manager like DAP
Download it from www.speedbit.com

This link works:: http://members.lycos.co.uk/pokepc/pokepc/pokepc_1.5.zip

I'd like to point out that he has every right to be annoyed. Technically you have stolen his work without asking. Basically its like you follow a guy around all day with a camera without letting him know, and then make a movie about it, which is ilegal because you didn't have their consent.

So technically he should be angry at you for stealing his work.

[Avatar]

I think you should be proud of it instead of complaining about the credits...
Not much to be proud of if you leave out the credit and people think you made it. That kinda defeats the purpose of my work.

Well, I asked you before to make some sprites and be member of the team, but you refused :(
That was probaly around the time I was extremely busy with my personal life. Hence why I refused.

[Barry]

I run XP, I get around 64 fps which is really smooth.

Rating: 9.
It's in an early version and I know everything will work perfect when you complete this engine. Otherwise in its current state for what it is supposed to be, I'd give it a 6. But I know it will be far better as this used to be last year terrible. Come a long way.

If I could figure out how to edit ppm files, that'd be great. Or like if you could explain how people use this to make their own full games.

[ExtraOrdinary]

Take a look at the resource thread, you should find what you need there.

That was your reply to a private message of mine, then I began to follow the resources. Well, I've only used one sprite of your work. I'll then replace it with another one if u still complain about the credits. :\

[Webmaster Tyler]

this isnt that great of a game cause of how you have the words on it you shjould take that away

[ExtraOrdinary]

this isnt that great of a game cause of how you have the words on it you shjould take that away

Please re-arrange your words again so as to understand what you mean :surprised
If you mean the logo of the team, you don't have the right to say this :P


Here's the new spriteset (lite) attached :P

[Webmaster Tyler]

IM saying to have that logo on the screen cause when you play it, it can screw people up and its really annoying

[Barry]

You know how you have your company across it in the game? That's what he's talking about. Yeah.. removed really easy. Just make the picture the same color as the background. Easy.

[ExtraOrdinary]

Yes, the logo isn't a problem at all. If you got (screwed up) "sorry for bad language", you'd remove it very easily :pirate:

[Dudedude]

um...Where is the game making system?

[ExtraOrdinary]

um...Where is the game making system?

My team doesn't agree to present the toolkit for free.
Sorry, but you should PM me if you insist on having the toolkit ;)

[Webmaster Tyler]

thats jsut plain old stupid cause if its a free game maker thing it should be said

[Alistair]

ExtraOrdinary, by law, the toolkit must be free. If you didn't post the notice saying that the toolkit was not free in the first post, than it is automatically decreed free. And no, editing your post will nt change the rules.

[ExtraOrdinary]

Sorry, but I can't do anything betraying my team x__X

In law, toolkit is for programming MMORPGs not only pokemon, so it's not free in law Korean guy.

[Barry]

Sorry, but I can't do anything betraying my team x__X

In law, toolkit is for programming MMORPGs not only pokemon, so it's not free in law Korean guy.

Well yeah, I agree that it's fine if it's like rpg maker but if it's got anything Pokemon in it without permission, then that's a problem.

[dotFallen]

tell the team that. Its sorta pricy too in that pm im not paying that much money for that thing

[Avatar]

Sorry, but I can't do anything betraying my team x__X

Making profit out of franchise you do not own the right to is illegal. No matter what you're making.

[ZeroArmada]

Yeah and he's charging $60 bucks for this, man thats just not right...

[Alistair]

ExtraOrdinary, your stuck between two rocks. You can have the risk of going to jail, or you can make the toolkit free. It's your choice.

[sphereslayer]

It wouldn't be illegal if you removed all nintendo graphics and trademarks. You could sell it and leave it up to the end user to find their own tile sets. In saying that I think you'd find one person MIGHT buy it then just post it for free on a site. I don't think anyone cares about your toolkit if your going to make them pay for it.

[Alistair]

Actuallu, it still would be if he didn't remove the name PokéPC.

[DarknessMonkey]

This is highly ILLEGAL becuase you are selling a name that is already registered (Ex. Pokémon). I really don't think you can say you made all those tilesets & characters.

[mattgcn]

About all that copyright ****...See the other thread by ????? for that disclaimer.

No, wait, its my clipboard:

"The activities of this site fall under "fair use" as defined in 17 U.S.C. § 107, as they are transformative and noncommercial, do not copy a significant portion of the copyrighted work and have no detrimental effect on the marketability of the copyrighted work."

All of it is true to the Pokemon Online engine. It is all non-commercial, no profit is made, and though this slows need for development, it keeps us safe. The only money we get are sponsoring gifts to keep the site and server up, mainly righ now through google ads, which are perfectly legal. Part 2, though we use lots of Nintendo materials, most of it is our custom, except in names of anything and sprites of old Pokemon. We created new Pokemon, new regions and completely rehauled Johto to a new level. New items and types and such overshadow the old as the game's majority and most of the tiles and art we use are custom built by our own staff. Part 3, this will do nothing to deter the sales of Pokemon games. At all. We'll still buy every new game that comes out, as will anyone else, since it's always good to keep up on the best Nintendo projects. If anything we're advertising, and we're trying to put out a temporary solution for the fans before Nintendo stops being stubborn and does it themselves.

Also, if you're thinking "PO's run out of Canada, US Constituion doesn't apply!", well we can avert that, we're even more lenient up here! If not, we can simply say its "run" out of the country with the best law on it since we're so multicultural. US, Canada, Holland, Australia, NZ or the UK..

The only thing illegal we've done is use ROMs, but if you come searching, you'll find our computers quite devoid of them, and without evidence, no trial can be set up against us."


Fweheheh, so as long as PokePC is majoritarily their own, certain things, like chipsets and coding, ranking above names for importance, and not sold for cash, you all =safe

[ExtraOrdinary]

Hey kiddos!!

What do you think yourselves?

I'm not selling the toolkit and not presenting here Mr. Korean!!

The toolkit is LEGAL 100% as long as it doesn't contain any copyrighted materials of pokemon, consider it like RPG maker!

Mr. Korean you're wrong and I think you deserve to be punished for insulting a good member in a good community, heard me chaos maker??

[sphereslayer]

Actuallu, it still would be if he didn't remove the name PokéPC.
I honestly doubt "poke" is a trademark of Nintendo... :dead: f**kn idiot

[ExtraOrdinary]

Hey my friend , sphereslayer!!

You forgot to type pocket pcs to be illegal.

Don't u know that N owes "Pocket" monster logo? :D

[Alistair]

It may not be registered, but it still refers to Pokémon.

ExtraOrdinary, you started all of this. here is the proof: My team doesn't agree to present the toolkit for free. ;)
ExtraOrdinary, if you want all of this to stop, distribute the toolkit for free or rename it and remove all reminance of Pokémon from it.

[ExtraOrdinary]

ExtraOrdinary, if you want all of this to stop, distribute the toolkit for free or rename it and remove all reminance of Pokémon from it.

Hey! You are NOT the decision maker here. If you want all of this to stop, get outta this respectable forum and go search for another forum which enables you to insult other members and flaming them :dead:

Edit: I'm not Japanese, just for you information :surprised

[n4pst3r]

i think its your that should leve you said that the tool kit wasnt free so that means you dont belong here cos every thing any 1 has made on here is totaly free and you know what **** it i dont give a **** if i get banned your way out of line there its stealing if you want to sell this crappy software then sell it who cares just not on this forum your nothing but a thief



p.s u can bann me for my post or pm me or warn me i dont care i just hate ppl like this punk who thinks he earn an extra quid or 2 by stealing somthing and making it off for his own it doesnt surprise me ifits rpg maker 2k3/xp and he's edited that

[Alistair]

I did not call you Japanese. And thank you n4pst3r

[n4pst3r]

and whats makes u think your a respectfull member after what u tried to do

[ExtraOrdinary]

who said that i'll sell my toolkit? give me a proof!!

yes it's not free and i will not sell it.

IT ONLY BELONGS TO EO TEAM!!

crappy? make 1/1000000 of it and call it again crappy!

[n4pst3r]

dude all youve shown of it is some maps and a battling system wow woppy there are alot better games made here by members that beats your game

[ExtraOrdinary]

dude all youve shown of it is some maps and a battling system wow woppy there are alot better games made here by members that beats your game
Well......

Stick with RM2K and show us your experience not to show us your rudeness in a respectable community, eh?

[n4pst3r]

i dont use rm2k2 i use my own 3d direct draw engine that i made my self ehich i will BE GIVING away when i finish it atleast i share and yes your right this is a respectfull forum and you aint you charge ppl for things and if u want to stay then i suugest you start sharing cos as soon as a admin sees this your gone

[Alistair]

Napster, I didn't say I was respectful. I am just fed up with people trying to sell things. I was actually just trying to get ExtraOrdinary to present the toolkit for free so he doesn't get in trounle for selling it. Instead, he insisted that he was right, and here we are.

[n4pst3r]

na **** him and his bull**** maker its probably fake anywayz

[Silver Pearl]

na **** him and his bull**** maker its probably fake anywayzyou are soooo dumb. this is real! i even tryed it out myself. so shut the hell up, jackhole.

[n4pst3r]

[Silver Pearl]

just prooves your a kid cant handle your own battle got to get friends/cosuins to fight them for you and some1 needs to wash your mouth out with soapHaha you make me laugh.

Quote from Dumbass: u can try and get mine but all u get is a fake ip my pc is well guared from fools like you.

Oh Im so scared well I have to go now because my sis wants to go on the pc now. so **** you.

I'm Pokeflute, and I'm outta heyah!

[n4pst3r]

1 of these days your gonna regreat mouthing off to older ppl wait till you get to secondry school lol

[Silver Pearl]

i dont origanally do this but **** you

[Alistair]

Silver pearl, just to ask: how old is your cousin? I am lead to believe that she is 3 years old. Kinda like you, except actually that age. She's not acting like you are..

[n4pst3r]

couldnt have said it better

[Alistair]

Silver Pearl, you could be a little more original than a couple of swear words.

Also, If anyone wants to know, I have AOL Dialup. There is no known way that I can switch on and off accounts in minutes.

[Silver Pearl]

Silver pearl, just to ask: how old is your cousin? I am lead to believe that she is 3 years old. Kinda like you, except actually that age. She's not acting like you are..A she? WTF? HE is 14. How about you?

[sphereslayer]

What I can't understand is that you give extraordinary no credit for what hes' achieved. This whole thing is made from scratch, programed! 9/10 people on her can't understand rgss for f**k sake! You give it a go! Most people hear Vb n think "pft what a noob use a real language like C++" It's not as easy as you may think! Programe something worthwhile yourself, I bet after the months of time put in to it you'll be asking for some form of gratification before you give it to someone aswell! To be honest with you I'm not happy to hear it won't be free when it's finished but it's fair enough, I fully understand they want money for it. Keep up the good work EO, you've got my support

[Aisu K.]

Listen!! I understand you are all angry at each other, but we can't have a flame war in this or any post!! Stop swearing at each other and be a little more mature. If ExtraOrdinary's team wants to sell it, then you can't flame him for doing so!! Stop flaming and being n00bs!! Please, the last thing we need is this wonderful program might never be released.

[Alistair]

Actually, I am turning 15 this December Silver Pearl. And all of you people supporting ExtraOrdinary, read all of his posts. When I posted my topic, it was for his protection and the protection of the community. But no. Then ExtraOrdinary comes to my thread and completely destroys it with his flaming and immature behavior with his Teletubby friend Silver Pearl.

[sphereslayer]

Lol thats rich a 14 year old telling me off. No offense... just keep in mind in if this was the real world you'd be on the ground crying now :) But it's not in the real world coz the sad thing is everyone on this forum (including me) are delusional little freaks who like pokemon. Time to grow up, I'm over it now, sure I'll play a game if a decent one gets released but untill then **** pokemon. I feel so much better :p

[Alistair]

Who would be crying on the ground? You? Oh, I am terribly sorry. I was just correcting the sentence to make it a true statement.

[Sorye HK]

Let's stop flaming each other guys and chill out;; Anymore flaming and I'll have to close the thread.

[sphereslayer]

I wasn't referring to you, idiot. Lol you honestly think I'd sink as low to argue with a little kid on a pokemon forum? GET A LIFE :dead:

[Naito]

Can everyone stop flaming and arguing here?If this continues, banning could be issued by the higher staff. Plus, E.O. would stop making this, which i'm looking forward to. The toolkit is what E.O. and his team is using to make the program, so the program is free. The toolkit isn't. Correct me if i'm wrong.

[ExtraOrdinary]

1-Thanx our moderators for stopping this disastre.
2- The toolkit arguement: My last word says that the toolkit is free of course but my team doesn't agree to offer it now.
3- Member like me shouldn't be banned so easily as others may think :chinese:

Thank you all anyway, and expect new and new from my hardworking team ;)

I didn't say you should be banned =D Sounds good. Can't wait to see the toolkit. I agree that it should wait anyway to be released as it's current form is probably in bad shape, since you havn't worked on it that long. Good luck to you.

[Silver Pearl]

Well, Im also looking foward to this toolkit...

I don't know what to say next...

[n4pst3r]

thought you said u have used this tool kit? silverpearl

[NeoBlade]

Iwas thinking when u told me you're gonna sell pokepc+game......but, you must need nintendo's permission to use pokemon's trademark....and I really don't believe they give it to you :classic: so my point is....you CANT sell it

[Naito]

He is not going to sell it NeoBlade. He is going to make it free when the program is finished. His team doesn't want to offer it for free right now.

[Alistair]

Yay! ExtraOrdinary is finally going to distribute the toolkit for free! ExtraOrdinary, you are back on my "good list." I can't wait to see what will be of it when you release it. Oh, and sorry for the entire argument. Just to let you know, it was for your protection that I started that topic. I was't intending for it to get that out of hand.

[Silver Pearl]

thought you said u have used this tool kit? silverpearlno i said i tried the game. or are they the same thing?

[n4pst3r]

no i said i tried the game. or are they the same thing?

well you said u have used this toolkit in a post but i have played the game it isnt that bad there are better games its not good but its not bad etiher

[Sorye HK]

I've thought about it, but I thought it might be better if this thread is given a fresh start~
