Pokemon Rusty II

[Krazy_Meerkat]

Hey everyone I have been working on a game called Pokemon Rusty II for the past two years. I am near completion now and I wanted to know what everyone else thought. If you want to see my game click the link below to go to the official Pokemon Rusty II website. I will post screenshots, If you want more, go to my site

I will just post the link here in case I change my signature: http://www.freewebs.com/pkmn-rusty

[007]

it told me 4 hours and 10 seconds to download. sorry i would like to play but i have not the time to be doing that type of download.

[Krazy_Meerkat]

it told me 4 hours and 10 seconds to download. sorry i would like to play but i have not the time to be doing that type of download.
That's wierd.. It took me about that to upload, but i have dial-up..

Ok I have worked it out, Freewebs is making the download take too long, if you go to the downloads section and go to DarkMage's site, the link there is much faster, like only 20 mins or something. Here is the link in case you don't know what i'm talking about: http://darkmage310.tripod.com/darkmage31clubhome/id3.html
It's right down the bottom..

[007]

thanks i have dsl so when i saw 4 hours i started checking my wires. lol

[Krazy_Meerkat]

No problems. Please tell me what you think of the game:)

[Krazy_Meerkat]

Got some new screens now, these aren't available on the site yet so enjoy!

[DarkMage31]

*waaaaaaaaa*
Tripod just brought down my site! They thought I was abusing some Liscense Terms thingummy, but I really wasn't!

In any case, I really liked your game. I have some comments:
~I like the title screen- no need to use mine
~Good intro, inspired me to make one for my game
~Love the spinning "Rusty" after the intro "press start' thing
~Great picture usage for the "Mysterious woman." I thought you can see the WB logo in the corner though...
~The tilesets are all messed up in the pokemon center. But I just held down <ctrl> and walked to the PC to check it out. I like the door idea, taken right out of Pokemon Galaxy!
~Nice ABC. You should add some variety, like long ranged attacks. That would make it that much cooler
~I like how the enemy trainers run off with a "****" when you defeat them.
~Good visible/random encounter option
~When I opened the game, none of your Common events, switches, events, or variables were named! Is that because of the patch you use?
~When arranging your party in the PC, You can only set your first pokemon. Maybe some more options???

That's all I can think of right now, so good luck and nice job!

[Krazy_Meerkat]

~Thanks, I had a few others but this one was my favourite
~I worked very hard on my intro, just think it could be better though..
~I really thought the spinning letters would add a lot of effect
~Ok that's noted, i will probably change that anyway..
~I will fix the tilesets as soon as i can. Yes the pokemon storage system in Galaxy was the best i could find, so i mimicked it as much as i could.
~I have worked a lot on the ABS, And there was an option for long ranged attacks, but I just didn't have the correct graphics. In the end, I spent too much time coding for such a little detail.
~What else would you say?
~Yes i really like that addon. That way you can see what you want to battle and even (if you want) run away from it lol. Took a lot out of me though
~No that's just so people can't steal various parts of the game. I can send you a version with all the variable names and switches etc.
~Sure I will put in some more options, what did you have in mind? I just couldn't think of anything else to do with your pokemon.

[Krazy_Meerkat]

Does anyone think I should kep the system graphics I have or switch to the new ones? Hey Darkmage, could I use yours?

[DarkMage31]

Sure, I'm going to say this once and for all:

THE SYSTEM GRAPHIC IN POKEMON LUNAR IS PUBLIC!!! EVERYONE CAN USE IT IN THEIR GAMES

*panting* Yes, go ahead and use it. I think it'll make it more pokemon-esque

[Krazy_Meerkat]

Thanks DM..........................................

[DarkMage31]

No problem. It's so satisfying to see your work in other people's games. BTW, I'm going to make some changes so you can have two lines of text instead of four like in the real pkmn games. I'm doing some tests now.

[Krazy_Meerkat]

lol sorry mate, already done it. even got the correct graphics

[DarkMage31]

'tis okay. It's being used in enough peoples' games already to make me very happy! I don't know why people get so hyper about people using their graphics... it's great to see your stuff in others' games. Oh well.

[MissingChu]

Well i never had that experince because my older games never got finished :tired:

[Krazy_Meerkat]

Fixed a bug where the battle halted when fighting leaf bandits.. I have gotten a bit further with the new battle sytem as well.... Uh this is tough

[DarkMage31]

For the PC, you should have options like set position 1, position 2, position 3, and position 4 instead of just 1. Get Pokemon 2k for rm2k. They've got something like that

[Krazy_Meerkat]

Do you mean me? I have never played pokemon 2k, can you give me a link or something? It is always good to get more experience before trying new things.. I think we chould do the battle system before we start thinking about the PC

Ok sorry I didnt understand properly (thought u were talking about the new game).. I will consider putting these options into the game.. but I would have to change around all the old battle options to include this..

[DarkMage31]

No, not really. It would just kinda be for show. We all know the first pkmn is all that matters. After that it's all just player's prefference.

[Krazy_Meerkat]

I agree.. That's why I didn't put it in at the start.. Anything else you would like done?

[DarkMage31]

Nope, everything else is good! I especially like the precision of which you conducted your catipillar system. Nice job!

[Krazy_Meerkat]

Thanks, It was very frustrating getting him to follow you and stop following you, also the move back function

[MysticSwampert]

I played Rusty II this morning and it was really good! The only problem was that I had to import files under the names of: don_pikachuu (Charset) and crown5 (Charset) why is this because they didnt appear in the game (or at least up to the point where i played). Apart from that, great game! Also, I've noticed that you two keep on talking about this battle system that you making. Is this with a game? When will it be able for download? Can everyone adapt it? Or just people that you've given permission (by the way, i think you might of given me permission in the first page in my thread. It's just I know somebody who might be starting a pokemon game and he asked me if I could ask you for him if he could adapt it.) Anyway, Good luck both of you with both projects!!!

[chrissmith_uk]

yeh mysticswampert, u plaayed it at my house 'cos your 56k connection couldn't handle it....... anyway, i thought it was ME who was playing it?

oh well. yeh, it's brilliant. i like the intro and the rusty thing that goes in circles. Oh yeh, i also like the graphics of the pokemon, and all the features like the battle system etc.....

in other words... its a GREAT game! :D

[MissingChu]

Hey rusty are you going to upload it to angelfire or somewhere else? Cause I have cable and when i download it says its downloading at 1.2 kb/sec. :shocked: THATS SLOWER THAN DIAL-UP!!!!!!!! :dead: gracias mi amigo.

[Krazy_Meerkat]

Thanks heaps guys! I know about the charasets but Don't you have the RPT? I tried it on another computer and I noticed I need to download that RPT thingie to play, I thought I included all the files.. Oh well this is only a demo..

Hmm.. about the battle system I know we will be using it in our game.. I will have to talk to my friend about releasing the battle system to the public.. I am writing a tutorial on how to add pokemon and attacks to the system, So if we did give a version to the public for ADAPTION then I would include that for sure. But the trouble is, there are always those people that download it and implement it in their game then they claim credit for it!!!! Hate people like that!
As for your friend.. I'm sure we could work some thing out (Me and DarkMage that it)
Thanks Chris, always good to hear positive comments! I'm glad you enjoyed it, I just wish there was a faster download. Most people don't play it because it takes too long.

[MissingChu]

yeah i know.....

if i could download it i could upload it to a faster server, or even your angelfire account.(dont worry, i'm not a hacker that will steal your life from a password :D )

But still, speed is the worst problem on the net these days, so its not your fault.

[Krazy_Meerkat]

Thanks, I'm thinking about taking all the HTML from my downloads section and putting it in angelfire, then I could host the download from my site.. I think that's why it kept saying I was doing something wrong by their their terms and conditions.. I don't have time now though.. Maybe I will do it tonight
EDIT: I needed to fix a few bugz in it anyway.

[Walker]

I played Rusty II this morning and it was really good! The only problem was that I had to import files under the names of: don_pikachuu (Charset) and crown5 (Charset) why is this because they didnt appear in the game (or at least up to the point where i played).

Had the same problem. Meerkat, you're assuming that EVERYONE has the rm2k ADD-ON. Well, hate to break it to you, but most people don't. Most players and game creators have the basic RTP, but not the add-on. Don_pikachuu charset is only in the 1.32 add-on expansion to the RTP. So in the future, please include add-on files in the game folders.


But all in all, GREAT GAME :)! I've seen better, but you did really well on it. The only parts I dislike are:
1.) The battle system wasn't very good. No offense, but if I liked that style of battle I wouldn't build games with Rm2k and Rm2k3. For an action battle like yours, you should use Game Maker 5. Anyway, Rm2k/3 are not meant for action battles.
2.) Swearing. Yes, I know it's very mild swearing, but most parents won't want their 8-year-old pokemon lovers playing a game that uses even MILD swear words. Just making a point.

As for the enter hero name system, I see you used the Italian version of the RPG_RT.exe file. Well, it's annoying cuz it erases 2 letters and a time and only displays 2 letters at a time. To fix this, please use the RPG_RT.exe found at http://www.brunslo.com/infraticate/creation/rm2k/Rm2KEHN.zip
It's a very good modification of the Italian file that allows you to see ONE letter at a time instead of TWO.


Anyway, keep up the good work. You're doin great.

[Krazy_Meerkat]

Well thanks very much for that HARSH critisism, Instead of telling me how i forgot various things and couldn't do my game properly, you should just KINDLY advise me of the problem I ALREADY KNEW about. When I export the full version I am going to use RM Tool to find all the needed files, so don't think I'm not capable of this. Furthermore, I do not care what types of battle systems you like and DO NOT recommend that I change to GM. I have put lots of hard work into this game and I didn't do it for nothing. What would you know about being a parent? DO NOT TELL ME HOW TO MAKE A GAME!!!!

[Sorye HK]

Well, I couldn't download your game, but I'd like to help; if you need any that is.

[Walker]

Meerkat, that was very uncalled for. I told you, your game is GREAT, I liked it a LOT, and I said to KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. So please chill out and cool down.

Let me review what I said. I can understand you being SLIGHTLY upsetted by the battle system suggestions, but not nearly enough to blow up like this! You have a serious temper problem.
I happen to think my suggestion about using the better Enter Name RPG_RT.exe was a good one. It's quite simple to apply and makes the game better.


And I thought I made it VERY clear that you did great and your game is really neat.


At least I learned something from this: NEVER give constructive criticism OR praise to people like Krazy_Meerkat. I just get my head chewed off for the effort.



Anyway, if these are the kind of people that populate Pokecommunity, then I won't hang around here long.

[Krazy_Meerkat]

lol i didnt think i was that harsh. I just worked so hard on that then you come along and say its crap. I downloaded the rpg_rt.exe file but from the looks of the readme, it's exactly the same as the current one i have. I have tried using GM 5 but it just wasn't for me. I could never figure out how to do the rpg thing in there.. I will admit, GM is a very powerful tool but I don't like using it very much.. It is also possible to make online games in there (which i did) but i gave up after that..

I was just having a bad day, I'm sorry if i said anything to offend you.

At least I learned something from this: NEVER give constructive criticism OR praise to people like Krazy_Meerkat. I just get my head chewed off for the effort.
And another thing, shut up.

[MissingChu]

uh oh..... get ready people, heres where the fighting could start :laugh: j/k

EDIT: Please stop fighting. And Walker, he was having a BAD DAY. Meaning he isn't mean(mad or whatever) ALL THE TIME. Why do i have to point out simple things like that? :tired:

Anyway, if these are the kind of people that populate Pokecommunity, then I won't hang around here long.
THAN DONT, CAUSE THIS IS LIFE. WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD.(note:i wasn't shouting, just highlighting the READ point) ;)

[DarkMage31]

Alright ppls, time to shut it.

Anyway, if these are the kind of people that populate Pokecommunity, then I won't hang around here long.
Not everyone is like this. Don't make generalizations. It's not nice, and offensive to those who aren't how you describe the above person.

Meerkat, I don't think he was saying it was total C124P. It sounded like demanding constructive criticism to me- trust me. My message board is all about critique, and you have to constantly be splitting up fights.

1: Story
2: That sucked!
1: No it didn't! You suck!
2: wtf? Who are you to say I suck?

Alright, maybe that's an exaggeration, but you get the idea. If you already knew about it, you probably should make a readme.txt or something with all the "known bugs" or say what you're currently fixing on this board. That's what I did, and it helps avoid arguments like this.

BTW, thanks for that link. My EHN deletes two at a time as well, but in the new game, that shouldn't be a problem ;) you'll see!

BTW again, RM Tool's rpg dependency scanner only scans for RPG 2000 RTP, not 2003. That's why I have problems with the files in my game. I have to add all the 2003 RTP manually.

[Krazy_Meerkat]

Yes but Pokemon Rusty II is actually rm2k so I am in the safe zone, that isn't going to work for the new game we're making though. I wish we had a rm2k3 dependency scanner! I can accept that critisism but I can't accept the way he stated that I was the type of person he didn't want to be around! That is an extremely uncalled for comment, He obviously thinks that I am always like that and that everyone else here is. If that's how he thinks then I'm not sure I want him here. EVERYONE has their bad days.

[RM2K3kid]

You guys might already know this but if you want your games smaller import pictures as xyz it helps alot. If I didn't do that my game would be over 2mb but it is only 435kb :D yay :D Oh and that is in a .zip without the rpg_rt. Thats just a tip sorry if I went a bit off-topic. Krazy_Meerkat good luck with Pokemon Rusty II....

[Walker]

Well. Anyway, sorry if I came across as overly critical. Seriously, Meerkat, I don't understand you. I said over and over again, i LIKE your game. It's great. It's cool. So what exactly is your problem?


I can understand if you were having a bad day and were irritable. But in that case could you please STOP the anger now?


See, on the forums I usually visit, people LIKE constructive criticism on their games. It helps them know what needs work, what popular opinion is, etc.
But now that I know you don't like that at all, I won't do it again. I promise. In the future I just won't say anything.

DarkMage has been cool. Seems like the kind of guy that makes forums worth visiting.

[Krazy_Meerkat]

ok, can we got back to the topic here? I know you don't like that battle system, but if you liked the original one, you should have a look at the game me and DarkMage are making. it uses the original battle and should turn out to be a pretty good game by the looks of it..

[MysticSwampert]

Is there a thread for this game you and dark mage are making?

[DarkMage31]

No but there will be when we come up with a name.

[DarkMage31]

sry for the double post, but we just got the RM2K subforum we've all been waiting for! Hip hip, horay! It's under the Game Boy Games section. w00t!

(the mod they selected I haven't seen around here, they probably select them at random.)

[Krazy_Meerkat]

Finally! Wow I didn't expect this! Yes we are still deciding a name..

[DarkMage31]

Remember that topic I made asking for this? It worked! Yay!

[Lightning]

(the mod they selected I haven't seen around here, they probably select them at random.)
Satoshi-kun is the moderator... he mods all of the forums in this section, so he mods the RM2K forum as well. We don't randomly pick moderators.. ^_^;

[DarkMage31]

Satoshi-kun is the moderator... he mods all of the forums in this section, so he mods the RM2K forum as well. We don't randomly pick moderators.. ^_^;
Alright, thanks. I just thought it was a little odd to assign a forum to someone who was unfamiliar with the topic at hand.

[Krazy_Meerkat]

Err.. hate to spoil your fun but this is getting very off-topic

[DarkMage31]

And the ironic thing is that last post was off topic in its own respect, lol!

Back on topic: any updates?

[Boarder Nat]

I've tried a few times to download Pokemon Rusty II but so far it hasn't worked. Anyway, any chance of some more screenshots or info on it?

[DarkMage31]

I used to host it on my site, but it was taken down. You also need the RTP to play this one. Meerkat said he'll add the necessary files in later releases so you won't need RTP.

[Krazy_Meerkat]

I'm so sorry man, You caught me in the middle of transferring my downloads section.. I will have the upload done at a later point in time.. because I am thinking about releasing the full version. I still have to patch a few things but it is almost time to upload the FINAL VERSION. Hmm.. You want more screenshots you say? I will see what I can do. BTW if anyone hasn't noticed yet, Your pokemon evolve (even in the demo). I will change the link back to the old download for now (the 4 hr download) but when I get the full game done I will upload it to angelfire and everything will run a lot faster.. hopefully..

[DarkMage31]

Final version you say? I think that would mean Pokemon Rusty II would be the first FINAL game on PokeCommunity (I think frostweaver did something a while ago, some anniversary game, but that doesn't count ;))

[awkwardsilencer]

hey, im just wondeing if the rusty webpage will work soon?

[DarkMage31]

It's working now. http://www.freewebs.com/pkmn-rusty

[Boarder Nat]

I downloaded it from a different site, it was somebody who was in the guestbook, Tom5555 or something's site. I used WinRAR but it said it couldn't open file Crown5.

[chrissmith_uk]

yeh, that happened with me to.

[awkwardsilencer]

i downloaded rusty and it said the crown error, how do i fix this?

[DarkMage31]

i downloaded rusty and it said the crown error, how do i fix this?
Import the following file into the game's "Charset" folder:


Why am I doing your tech support Meerkat?

[awkwardsilencer]

haha rusty, ur games not working for me, i got it to come on, and i liked the intro and all, but i tried to step out side the house, and booom! error, i needed some don_pikachu file or sumtin

[Krazy_Meerkat]

dat aint good.. hmm i will attach the other file but if this keeps happening, i iwll asume you don't have the rtp or the addon.. or whatever one you need.
dont worry i am about to release the full version which you should not have this problem with..
EDIT: oops forgot to attach the file, remember to save as .png format

[awkwardsilencer]

Nice Demo, i like the battles, but in the houses and like the pokecenter, i couldnt make it to the counter, and its really short demo

[Krazy_Meerkat]

Yea i know, sorry about that it will b fixed in the full version

[DarkMage31]

When will you think the full version will be released???

[Boarder Nat]

yeah thats a good question. bring on the full! lol i can't wait to play it

[Krazy_Meerkat]

I will do some work on the full version today.. Hopefully, if I can get lots of work done today, and doublecheck lots of stuff tomorrow then, I will upload it.
I'm not quite sure though.. I will have to fix my bro's half of the game up.. There is lots of stuff he did that I thought would **** people off.. Like a house that never ends and a room which just says GO BACK spelled out in tiles, and there is no teleport to get back. That and patching up my half will be a big task.. I also STILL have to convert half the tiles in the game to R/S lol. Well anyway, My half of the game (which is the boys half) will have two gym battles (you cannot use the shift battle feature with gym leaders), The team battle at the end of the game, A few new last minute towns I added, A battle tournament which you have to wait 1 day to re-enter, Pokemon day-care center which you can BE your pokemon and go on little mini-quests to get trainer stars, You also learn the ability to surf, Maybe some slight changes to the boy's half of the storyline or major changes (whichever I feel like).
I have put quite a lot of effort into the AI in your friends pokemon (in the team-battle) and you can actually kill it, you can also kill you friend if you don't want help with the battle. All in all, I quite liked doing that part.

[DarkMage31]

Sounds great! But I gotta go work on my game(s)!

[Krazy_Meerkat]

sorry no work got done, i have been out with my mates and i got burnt. didnt feel up to doing pretty much anything.. work will be done later..

[lighterhead2001]

Oh crud I can wait though ...what happened?....Hope your ok....*Best Wishes!* hehe

[Krazy_Meerkat]

I will get some work done now. I had work placement today but the contracts arent ready so i have some spare time.

[MissingChu]

what have you done so far?

[Krazy_Meerkat]

I have done some work, but there is more than i expected. And it isnt just a matter of switching over chipsets, I actually have to re-design all of the cities and houses i have already made. I havent had much time to re-design any of the intro or ending... It will come soon.. *sigh* back to work for me

[MissingChu]

i'll help you on ur game!

[DarkMage31]

To test out the evolutions, I trained my ryhorn or someone up to lvl 20 which is when I realized nothing was happening.
Then I checked your common events
I realized the pokemon I was trying to evolve you didn't put in yet.
So I tried another one that you coded.
Mid evolution animation, an appearance began and it skipped out. By the time I exited the battle, the evolution was over. It was really messed up. Just thought I'd let you know.

[Krazy_Meerkat]

hmm... so it evolved in the middle of battle?? that shouldn't have happened?!?!
I didnt put evolutions for ryhorn and the other starting pokemon.. but there are evolutions for the cheated starting pokemon..

I dont quite understand.. what do you mean by apearances beginning and skipping out? It is supposed to appear, then pulsate and change into the new pokemon...

[DarkMage31]

I finished the battle, it started to evolve, and I must have pressed an arrow key and walked into a pokemon (visible battles I think) behind the evolution and the battle started mid-evolution.

There are cheats? I saw something about clipping and a paper in a plant pot, but I didn't know where to find the crumpled paper!

[Krazy_Meerkat]

oh of course! i made it wait because you can move around while the evolution is happening.. mustn't have waited long enough.. maybe i could just make the evolution an autostart thing... that would make things work better

EDIT: oh yes cheats! well thee was that one about the crumpled paper but you have to finish Pokemon Rusty 1 to get that cheat.. the other cheats are at the end of pokemon rusty II. Dont really want to give any of them away just yet I give you a hint though, you enter them at the title screen.

[MissingChu]

Where's Pokemon Rusty I at?

[Krazy_Meerkat]

It's going to be packaged with Pokemon Rusty II, so really, it's two games in one! Pokemon Rusty 1 isn't very detailed but it has a lot of kool effects such as a bike system (this was done 3 years ago so dont think it was easy) and your pokemon follows you EVERYWHERE in the game instead of just in town. There was some more stuff but I will leave it at that for now.

[MissingChu]

Cool! But you could let it be downloadable seperately too, for dial-up users(i'm not one tho).

[Krazy_Meerkat]

Nah it would end up being a bigger download, they both use the same files.

[MissingChu]

o....... ok... now i see....

[DarkMage31]

Yeah, I was going to ask why there was Rusty II and not Rusty I. That clears stuff up.

[Krazy_Meerkat]

Well I completed Pokemon Rusty I but I didn't think it would be good enough to release. Anyway I ended up working on number II and really enjoying it, Number 1 uses the default battle system so don't expect any amazing details.

[MissingChu]

I dont really care cause i'm using the default rm2k3 Battle system.

[The Kraig]

Have to say this is really great, it makes it seem more realistic as well (especially being able to see pokemon). Awesome job Meerkat, I had a bit of trouble getting it to start but after a quick visit to your site and a google search for the don_pikachuu file it's been plain sailing. Thanks for all the hard work. :)

[Thunder]

i dled it and installed it and i only got 1 file thats gay

[MissingChu]

I just downloaded it and it works great! Yeah the pikachu file was missing but i got that outta da way! NICE JOB!

Thunder, thats not gay. Its life.

[DarkMage31]

It really burns to know that people use the word "gay" as a derogitory term synonymous with something "bad." Open your mind, and accept differences and minorities. That's what I was taught through childhood anyway.

[MissingChu]

Well dark mage that was a joke..... :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

[Thunder]

can someone put don piakchu file up here??

[Krazy_Meerkat]

can someone put don piakchu file up here??
hey thats wierd.. i didnt even use this file in the game... here it is anyway.

[Thunder]

oh man i want next demo!!!!! or ill kill someone :badsmile:

[DarkMage31]

I wasn't talking to you MissingChu. I was talking to Thunder. Too many people are homophobic now-a-days.

[MissingChu]

oh......:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

[Krazy_Meerkat]

k.. this is gettin wierd..... there will be no next demo...


Because i am releasing the FULL game soon. Fair bit of work to go so dun get ur hopes up.. But it still is very close. I have the ending all done now, battle tournament is done, still working on last town, still changing chipsets... Very heavy workload guys.. Did I mention I am doing this all entirely by myself with no help whatsoever?

[Thunder]

must have full now!! muahahah or ill kill kill!

[007]

k.. this is gettin wierd..... there will be no next demo...

take it easy and don't rush

[MysticSwampert]

i dled it and installed it and i only got 1 file thats gay

I think that using "gay" as a derogative term might be against the rules or whatever you call it. Its worse than double posting!

[Misdreavus]

I think this game is gonna be brill when its done.

I know im not much of an expert but WOOOO! it looks gd.

^And take your time as well

[Krazy_Meerkat]

I have to go to skool now but i see u in 6 hrs. Thnx 4 the positive comments :D I will get the game done super quick now!

[awkwardsilencer]

dude people arent homophobic, its just people in different areas have different words and vocab. no person talks the same as the next. the way one might say gay, another might say bad and another could say stinks. its all just our different vocabs. but yeh he could of ment it in a homophobic way, but who knows. just dont jump to conclusions.

[Krazy_Meerkat]

alright everyone! lets not turn this into a big fight about vocabularies and derogitory terms. everyone has their own opinions, respect that!

no more discussion about that now.

[MysticSwampert]

Can we get back to subject?

[Fox_Die]

Hey meerkat, I found some hidden abuse in your game,

lol

don't worry, Im not going to steal anything from it though.

[Craig619]

i downloaded the demo and got the error 'can't open file vehicle' what do i do?

[DarkMage31]

What do you mean, "hidden abuse?"

[MissingChu]

i think he meant that meerkat stole something but was edited in a way to be hidden....

But he wouldn't do that, would he?

[DarkMage31]

What's to be stolen? I'll look around, but what can you possibly steal for rm2k???

[MissingChu]

i dont know people can be so inmature about their work. My work is free and anybody can use it AS LONG AS THEY SAY I MADE IT.... :D

[Krazy_Meerkat]

i have not stolen anything! i have used other people's charasets in my game but not claimed credit for them.
lt. surge, i don't exactly know what your talking about.. hidden abuse? would that be the occasional swear word here and there?

your not going to steal any of it? any of what?

I made the hiro charaset (well, modified if you want to be picky)

[Thunder]

hey wat did he do wroung huh huh huh!

[Fox_Die]

Does this ring any bells:

(this quote is taken from your game)
Hey mother *******
How Are you reading this
lil *******

[Krazy_Meerkat]

only did that cuz i was bored. there is no way to get to it other than opening it with rm2k.

never tell me that i have stolen anything when i havent

[DarkMage31]

Where is that? *starts looking furiously*

[MissingChu]

i saw it but i just laughed.... :D

[awkwardsilencer]

who cares lol, people swear all the time, maybe its good you put that in to show that pokemon isnt just for kids.

[Frostweaver]

who cares lol, people swear all the time, maybe its good you put that in to show that pokemon isnt just for kids.
... and there's tons of little kids who are perverted, and tons of adults don't swear... how does swearing prove a game being for kids only or not? If people are willing to judge after researching about something, they'll know from the carefully planned mechanics of the Pokemon game that the game is for kids and adults.

[DarkMage31]

Simple, frostweaver. It's not so complicated. It has to do with game ratings. The ESRB (www.esrb.org (http://www.esrb.org)) rates each game based on things such as language, sexual themes, etc. It goes from Early Childhood, to Everyone, to Teen, to Mature, to Adults Only. A game with mild language still falls under the category of Everyone, but language such as what Meerkat used would earn it a spot in Teen, or even Mature based on how much of it there is. Little kids don't buy M games because they're not allowed; they buy EC and E games. Therefore, EC and E games are kids games, although older people may play them. The fact that there is swearing instantly makes it not a kids game, because it no longer will fall under the kid-safe rating.

[Frostweaver]

(Sorry to go off-topic but)

Those are safety ratings so that parents will know what are the contents within the games... And include swears/sexual themes will instantly make a game prove itself that "it's not just for kids?" A joke... I lost track of how many little kids in elementarys playing GTA3 (a game that I hate absolutely with all my heart). If others do not understand the Pokemon game and refuse to play it because it's "childish", let them think that way then as they'll be missing out. But why should we degrade our own morality values just to get a higher rating? It's the content and quality of a game that will determine if a lot of people will play it or not...

(back on topic)

Really... seems like close to no one thought of a way to repulicate the battle system in Pokemon yet for RM2K(3). So without working out the mysteries of the battle system, how will this project or any others ever be finished?

[Krazy_Meerkat]

hehe, battle system's back in my hands now. lots and LOTS of work will be done now :D *has waited so long to work on it again*
Frostweaver, whether you think it will be done or not is one thing, but whether it will be done or not is another. I have alot of faith in this and to have it completed would be the most wonderfull thing in the world. I don't think any of us that are working on the game plan to not use a pokemon-based battle system. I can't wait to share our battle system with everyone else that needs to use it. :) i have to go shortly, bye

[DarkMage31]

I'm pretty sick of this. Not EVERY game is going to use it. My game Lunar isn't! I like my CBS!

Anyway, since everyone's saying you can't do it, I uploaded it to Yahoo briefcase. It's elementary, but definately getting there. Hopefully this will show that we ARE doing it, and it's not all talk. See it for yourself! I'm not sure if this'll work:http://us.f2.yahoofs.com/bc/40961df1_10e77/bc/Battle_Sys.zip?bfLbilABGPhIH5hP

To heck with it, I'm just attatching.....

[Krazy_Meerkat]

are you sure that was a wise idea dark..?

[Craig619]

Krazy_Meerkat, i tried to continue one of the saved games on Pokemon Rusty II and it said something like 'c:/program files/pokemon rustyII/map0109.imu cannot be opened.' what's wrong with it?
Oh and the battle sys is cool!

[DarkMage31]

Sure, why not. Since it's going to be public domain anyway, people should have the right to view it now. That way people more rm2k-saavy can add on to the engine as they please and not have to edit our games' stuff. Now people can see what is done, what needs to get done, and what is possible. I think this is especially necessary for skeptics like Frostweaver. If you want though, I'll take those links down.

[Krazy_Meerkat]

no.. i actually think thats a good idea. now we don't have to release anything else to the public and we can just start making our game!

craig.. you can't continue a game which doesn't exist. map0139 is only in the full version. seeing as this is a demo, it doesn't have all the maps added in.

[DarkMage31]

Yeah, but the only problem is we didn't do the items/run/pkmn cases. We'll release the public engine once those are done. What I did a few posts back was to show off :D

[Thunder]

w00t that means ill be able to use your stuff for my games or i can get u to also make people sets and pokemon sets etc

[Krazy_Meerkat]

everyone will have to make their own pokemon/people sprites.. not that hard if your unexperienced.. just copy a picture, edit it and paste your picture in (make sure you get it lined up at the bottom or it will look wierd in the game) then you might have to add some stuff to the events.. a tutorial will be done.

and there you go!
dm your a show-off :P jk:) i forgot about the item/run/pokemon parts.. ****

[Sorye HK]

I've been looking into a couple of sites lately, and many of them
have screenshots of an "RM2K/3 compatible pokemon battle system."
Then I found that they were claiming that they've made it all by themselves,
when it's actually the joint project here at the community.

[DarkMage31]

So what you're saying is that you were viewing this site? I'm going to go search that.

[Krazy_Meerkat]

say what??????? someone is claiming credit for our battle system that hasn't been finished yet?? who was it daegon? whats the site you were looking at?

[DarkMage31]

A google search didn't pull anything up. What keywords were you searching?

[Krazy_Meerkat]

hey all, I have just quickly come to say that if you download it and there is a file or two missing, just copy one of the other pictures and re-name it whatever the file you're missing is. I've been told there's Don_Pikachuu.PNG and another one.

These charasets are not important for the demo, and are not even used. So feel free to use any charaset you want.

[MissingChu]

omg, people just go and steal stuff. I'll try and search too, and i'll tell ya'll what comes up.

BTW, darkmage, fix the link to the Darkmage Community in your sig.
That will get more members to join. :cool:

[DarkMage31]

Righto, totally forgot about my sig. (The name of the community is evidence to my lack of sleep and creativity :))

Wasn't this game supposed to be done ages ago?

[Krazy_Meerkat]

yes but i have benn.. kinda pre-occupied with other things.. this is the next thign to be done on my list

[DarkMage31]

Along with MissingChu's game, the sphere game, the group project, and everything else? What exactly is your priority list?

[MissingChu]

its ok meerkat, you dont have to work on Turquesa anymore. Scratch that off your To-do list.

[DarkMage31]

Don't feel guilty about it! I'm just curious how much free time Meerkat has to be able to handle four projects at once. Anyway, it doesn't matter. Sorry if I had anything to do with you two breaking up, lol :). That sounded so wrong :D

[Krazy_Meerkat]

lol yer it did. Missingchu is working solo now, he only needed my help for a bit of his game. I would just like to do the sphere game for fun, It would also be a great learning experience. The group project is TOP priority and I am still trying to do this bit by bit but it will have to wait until the group project is done, everyone else's game is more important than our games. :)

[MissingChu]

i will gladly help you if you need any help with your projects. I have too much free time(i'm always playing halo now :))

I dont want you to get too worked up, cuz as i say "Always have fun while working"

EDIT: darkmage, no more umm i'm not going to say the word comments. :cross-eye

[Krazy_Meerkat]

Hey all, there is now a poll. I just got tired of people asking when the game will be finished. As I said, it will be finished as soon as I can complete my other work.

[RM2K3kid]

Krazy take as long as you need. There's no rushing a masterpiece :laugh: .

[Krazy_Meerkat]

:) I will. There is actually a lot of work to be done so I will try as hard as I can.

[DarkMage31]

EDIT: darkmage, no more umm i'm not going to say the word comments. http://pokecommunity.com/images/smilies/Normal/cross-eyed.gif

What's that supposed to mean? I think I know, but I was just kidding ;)

Anyway, take as long as you need. No rush!

[MissingChu]

lol it was a joke :D :sleeping: :sleeping: :sleeping:

[nirvana]

i've downloaded pokemon rusty II and i install but when ash gets out of his house it gives an error(couldn´t found don_picachu) and the game crashes.

i dont know if i have everything installed but perhaps you can help me..please???

[Dawson]

go back a few pages and it will tell you how to fix the problem

[nirvana]

a few pages..lol..ok thanks

[nirvana]

i found don_pikachuu.png where shall i put it?

[Fox_Die]

You need to paste it into the pokemon rusty rtp package

[Sorye HK]

In the RTP>>charaset section or the charaset section of the Pokemon Rusty Directory

[nirvana]

yea thanks..well..i've played it..its a nice demo..

[Krazy_Meerkat]

Thanks nirvana.. I can't help noticing it's a bit short... But I had to completely change all the charasets and chipsets for the demo.. I will have some time to patch up the ending soon, I have been putting in my all for the battle system so it won't be that long..
