Click the Tools tab and then Resource Manager.
You can import your files in the Resource Manager, just select which type of file in the folder tree and then click Import.

Once you've imported them, then click Tools > Database, and go to the Tileset tab.

[[_DarkDragon_]]

if it says unexpected fiel format means you have to save the images into a more popular format like PNG

[Yuoaman]

in the resource manager I don't know where to send my charsets

[Yuoaman]

Oh, and also when i change from one resource to another my screen is deleted and it changes. Why?

[MasaXGPMat]

is there any sort of program that allows me to make MMORP games?

[[_DarkDragon_]]

hey, there's a edit button, if you forget to say something you don'T double post, you edit the previous post. Double posting is against the rules, so use the edit button on your post next time.

when u import charsets they will go to your database, so they will be there for you to use in the game, if you change one tilesetset to another and the map is using the previous tileset, the tiles corresponding to one of them will change to the ones corresponding to the previous one but of the new one, so if you have tile number one as a pink tile on one of them and a map is using that tileset, when u change it to a new one and it has a window tile on number one, all black tiles will change to a window tile.

[Darkatheu]

Hey... can you guys please give me a windowskin? i don't know if there is one in the starter kit, but the link is broken... thank you!

[Minorthreat0987]

Blizzy's Pokedex script works, just that its under the map, like where there is empty space, you can see it. well do something like how the trainer card is made. this is what i did, and it looks okay...

If you need help just PM me, I'll be glad to help you again.

Problem with trainer card system folks. I have managed to do everything but i am having problems with the name. how do i get the name bit and the actors name (heros name) i have tried \n[x] and $game_actors id [...
but it just fails every time.

[Scompi]

do you try getting the name in the scripts or in the events?

if script then i think its,
for i in 0...$game_party.actors.size
$game_party.actors[i]

or

self.contents.draw_text(x,y-4,w,h,"Name")
self.contents.draw_text(x-32,y-4,w,h, $pkmn.trainername, 2)
if Blizzy's Starter Kit

i dont know for sure, though.

if you were to use \n[x], x=1, it will only show, 1 ate breakfast at 10am.

[.-'Infernal Hylian'-.]

Thanks scompi (by the way the code that i am modifying is blizzys) i will try it when i get home. ( i am at school at the moment)

[axlefoley]

Could I please get a chipset from inside a radio station (for a pkmn game) also a one with cobwebs and all dusty would do great as well

[Minorthreat0987]

Thanks scompi (by the way the code that i am modifying is blizzys) i will try it when i get home. ( i am at school at the moment)

what scompi said mght work but i recomend this $pkmn.trainername for the heros name.thats how its coded in the starter kit it saves the name to variable 1 so i think that will work. and then to call it in a message jsut write this in the message where you want the heros name \v[1]

[Yuoaman]

Uhh, how do you make the white lines dissapear from around the buildings. And which resource do I put my characters and pokemon. (I use RMXP) And how do I make things unwalkable, my character just walks on water and buildings.

[PokemonXP]

Did you set the white around the buildings to be transparent? That is most likely your problem.

[.-'Infernal Hylian'-.]

either that or work with the next layer.

[kittenluvermeowz]

HOW do you guys put your scrrens on the web i did it before but forgot how

[tyl2704]

Im looking for the saffron city chip set from fr/lg and inside the silph building, thanks guys

[Ati]

Hey People,

How to make texts like that:

Hi PLAYER, how are you?

The player should be replaced with your name.

What I meant is on starter kit you can set your name in the starting .
And I want that people should call you in your name.

How to do that?

[Shiny_Latios]

Can someone please give me a link to rapidshare with the starter kit

[.-'Infernal Hylian'-.]

I have this pic and where the white block is is where i want my item icon to be displayed. I need to alter some of my script to change the position of the item icon but how do i do it?

download RM2K3 Kids's Pokemon Liquid, it has all the chipsets in it and you have permission to use them all.

Oh, does anybody know if there's a way to disable the traditional title screen menu(new game,continue,exit) so I can put in my own menu at the title screen, like in all the other pokemon games.

[tdata]

Sure, that is easy. if you are talking RMXP... I've seen only one custom title menu for rm2k(3). He had to hex edit the program...

[Demonic Budha]

[Matt Silver]

Can I please get help?:
1. How do I make screenshots of games on RMXP?
2. How do I change Tilesets in RMXP?

Thanks for your time...

[Joey the Cockroach]

what game making program would i have to use to make a game like sonic the hedgehog on the master system? and also, is it free?

[rpg pokemon]

well i have downloaded some games which are hacks or rpg maker ones and they dont work. Theres nothing wrong with the games but i just dont know how to make them work so i can play them.

[[_DarkDragon_]]

@Sonic_15 - Use Sphere, it's free and it adapts to any kind of game.

[.-'Infernal Hylian'-.]

Ok i need to know how to make random encounters. wnyone?

[rpg pokemon]

well i have downloaded some games which are hacks or rpg maker ones and they dont work. Theres nothing wrong with the games but i just dont know how to make them work so i can play them.

[Avatar]

Perhaps you could be a little more specific? What is the problem?

[rpg pokemon]

well i have downloaded the files but i dont know how to gte them to work so i can play them. What program do i need to run them etc. I have vba but it doesnt work. Any help?

[Avatar]

...These games are NOT hacks, they are games made in programs like RPG Maker and Sphere (these are the most commonly used programs at the moment).
All you have to do is open the respective game folder and run the .exe (For RPG Maker 2000/2003 games, the file is called RPG_RT.exe)

[rpg pokemon]

Ok try that. Thanks.

(message too short)

[rpg pokemon]

ok well i just tried it and it doesnt work.

[[_DarkDragon_]]

1. do not double post (use the edit button instead).
2. do not try to bypass the message too short rule.
3. As avatar said they are not hacks, if all you see is an IPS file then u need to go on the Hacking forums, if you see a bunch of files and folders and it still doesn't load you will probably need to download the equivalent version of RPG Maker that the game was made on.

[.-'Infernal Hylian'-.]

Ok instead of veiwing my game with the tiles bigger than they catually are can i view in a smaller mode so the graphics look how they should (this is for xp).
thanks.

[tyl2704]

dude i told you like 5 posts up or something that i put it into the resource thread, If i missed some tell me and itll probably only take like 15 mins to get.

[Jesus Freak Josh]

Don't suppose anyone has a chipset of the interior of a plane? Preferably Pokémon style? If so, a normal chipset of a city, Chicago/New York looking preferably? RMXP preferably.

[BlueSonic]

Sorry to bother anyone but on RPGXP when i try to make a event e.g a letter from someone ,It won't apper in game.can someone show me how to come over this problem?

[Dragon.Beat]

Sorry, but I didn't understand the question. Could you tell me in more detail what you mean by it not appearing in game?

[.-'Infernal Hylian'-.]

Ok i really need a Pokemon catching system and a pokemon storing system.
