Pokemon Liquid

[RM2K3kid]

I'm making a game called Pokemon Liquid it's being made in RPG Maker 2003. I'm almost ready for a demo so stay tunned.. also for Info and screens goto my site(it's in my sig). :D

EDIT: I just added some new screen shots to my site so check them out. :D

[Neko Keeshi]

They look great! I can't wait. And I hope you injoy using the new RM2k forums :D

[~Heart]

they look really great :). how did u made those text boxes small?

[jj984jj]

I have a question, why did you make that pass thing in the first town. I'm not saying it's wrong or anything, it's just unusual, that's all. Couldn't you have just made a new map w/o that person standing in that spot or something similar to red/blue/green/yellow? Anyway, just a suggestion, since it's pretty easy to just copy and paste maps and edit that one thing.

[Porygon]

When it's available for download, can you make sure to include the RTP in the GameDisk? I've tried to play some RM2Ks but can't because there's no RTP to run them on [but ones I make can run].

The whole RTP doesnt need to be in the game.. just the stuff you use from the RTP, because if you add the whole RTP it will be over 10 mb, and thats JUST for the RTP files.. i dont think you'd want that

[DarkMage31]

OMFG! MY PLAN WORKED! WE HAVE AN RM2K SUBFORUM!!!! WOOT!

The site looks great. Keep it up!

[jj984jj]

lol, well I think they should've made this a long time ago, but why is it in two places?

[Krazy_Meerkat]

This is so kool!! I saw it in the scrolley bar and though WTF?????
Your game looks really great! Can't wait to test play it!! How are you doing your battle system? Is it going to be like the original or a new CBS? I wish you luck!

[RM2K3kid]

Hey guys the battle system is coming along better than I expected and it's almost done. A demo will be released very soon so stay tunned. Also any comments welcome... Bye for now...

[Porygon]

Hmmm… well, I've always had trouble with the program not being able to run RPGs because it can't find the RTP. Besides, it's on my brother's comp anyway, so I can just run it through the network without him knowing about it… hehe…

[DarkMage31]

You can find a link to download RTP through www.google.com. It's a big file, so be wary! Also, you may want to download the RTP expansion.

[jj984jj]

You can also find it on K-lite 2.6. ^_^

[RM2K3kid]

I just released a demo of pokemon liquid :D . Goto my site(sig) and download it. I hope you guys like it. If their are any problems please tell me so I can fix them... Ok bye...

[Krazy_Meerkat]

I am downloading it now But it seems a bit too small.. only 884kb? My demo is about 14MB so I'm not really sure if it worked right.. I will let you know how it goes!

[RM2K3kid]

The pics are compressed. There is around 105 files in the zip. So thats why its so small..

[Krazy_Meerkat]

Dude It's Great!!!! I didn't even know you could do half that stuff with rm2k3!! Such attention to detail as well!! DarkMage, a few other people and I are working on an official Pokemon Battle system so why don't you implement that into your game? It would make it pretty much 100% original. I really like your town design as well. Great to play for a few minutes!

Also, there was pretty much no sound in the game.. Except for a little sound effect here and there.

[RM2K3kid]

Yeah I might I'll keep it in mind thanks..... :D And no sounds except the door. I can't find any sounds and music....

[Krazy_Meerkat]

Do you have msn messenger? I have almost all the F/R L/G Music, I have a lot of R/S music as well. If you don't have msn messenger then go to http://www.vgmusic.com/music/console/nintendo/gba/index-classic.html It has all the R/S music. If you want the F/R L/G music then you will have to contact me.

[Krazy_Meerkat]

Do you think I could use some of your battle animations, chipsets etc? I was thinking about doing the same thing but I just wasn't skilled enough with graphics to do the animations. Thanks anyway - Rusty

[Neko Keeshi]

I got all the way to the woods, and then when I tried to catch the Pichu, after I baited twice and then threw a pokeball, the came froze!

[Imakuni?]

EDIT. I tried it but yah it freeses after i used the ball on the pichu. well g2g
fix it soon

[DarkMage31]

I haven't downloaded it, but I am.

That's some high praise you recieved from Meerkat! I can't wait!

And, um, Meerkat, rm2k3kid is one of those people helping us on the game. lol! ;D He's doing map design!

[RM2K3kid]

Fixed the pokeball problem and I uploaded the a Fixed copy. A tip for catching pokemon use rocks and bait more than 2 times it helps.

Yeah as long as I credit for making them.

[DarkMage31]

Well, you're on the team anyway! Why not! I'm going to make my own animations for dust and grass movement for lunar. My first one is going to be for the sand though.

So, I played your game, and it was great! I really liked it! Your message system was good with the custom picture. Is it a pain to space everything just so for every message? It looks like it! I noticed one of the signs in the second town was a little off, but not bad at all!

I like how there were so many things to interact with. This was a level in my game I never got to. I prefer to get the general idea and work on specifics and fine tuning later. I see you'd rather perfect small areas at a time. Everyone's different!

My game froze upon trying to catch pikachu in the National Park. I'm going to revise my strategy to see if the outcome will change. If I figure out why it freezes I'll let you know ;) I saw some events for a CMS in you Common Events. However, it didn't activate for me. I also saw the running thing I used in my game as well. You should add an option for those that can't go into test play mode ;)

Nice job! Looking forward to further updates!

[RM2K3kid]

I just fixed it read my post above DarkMage31's post to find out more. Oh and thanks dark for your comments I appreciate them thanks again.

[Imakuni?]

the game looks great. i love the idea. i wish my games were as good as yours!

[Krazy_Meerkat]

there were a few small things I noticed. Umm i looked at your game, hope you dont mind. Anyway when i looked at the battle, i noticed you have to bait it to get it to trust you and throw rocks to get its hp down, why don't you tell people this is happening..? I thought it was just an effect.. Anyway you should say something like "threw rock... pikachu lost 10 hp... pikachu looks at you in a hurt way" and then your trust can go down or something and if it reaches zero, the pokemon runs away. anyway this is just my opinion, got a bit confused on how to catch a pokemon and game froze whenever I didnt catch it. I really liked it though!

I'm so sorry i didn't know you were working on the game with us. Do you have msn messenger or something?
sorry again, and glad to hav u on the team, especially map designing!

[Imakuni?]

i like the game. its really good. when will it be finished?

[DarkMage31]

Okay, I'm going to download the fixed version now. How much is there after the national park?

Once again, great attn to detail!

[RM2K3kid]

Remember this is just a demo I will change things later, anyway Krazy_Meerkat I got AIM and MSN Messenger. Oh and the only thing after the national park is just a little speech from me *hint *hint goto prof kurr *hint *hint. I'll try to release another version next week. Once again thanks for your comments :) .

[DarkMage31]

Every time I play this game I like it more and more. Excellent job, once again!

BTW, did you draw those hero pictures when you select gender?

[RM2K3kid]

BTW, did you draw those hero pictures when you select gender?
The male hero is a relcoloured version of the leaf green/Fire Red male. The Female is the Fire Red/Leaf Green female.

I'm adding the first 3 pokemon to the pokedex at the moment. And later I'm going to continue doing the rest of the game.

[DarkMage31]

I just noticed you got a lot of your resources from Booda Sack's PKMN: COL game. But heh, yours is good too!

[Dawson]

has pokemon:col been released as a demo yet? ive been waiting for it for ages...

[awkwardsilencer]

yeh i was gonna ask the same thing, when i click on download at the site it comes to an error

hey also can i use your menu system for my game right now?

[DarkMage31]

I think he's redoing his website, so the download page isn't working. I don't think, anyway. And besides, he's discontinued the RM2K version and he's doing it in Sphere now. He may put the RM2K version download up anyway.

[RM2K3kid]

I just noticed you got a lot of your resources from Booda Sack's PKMN: COL game. But heh, yours is good too!
99% of my resources a ripped directly from pokemon Leaf Green/Fire Red by me. None were taken from other peoples games. The only thing that I didn't do was the 3 pokemon. I got them from a japanese site that I gave credit too. I don't steal and I don't like people that steal. Anyway sorry but I had to say that. I started to make some secret islands like the misty islands in FR/LG these islands will be available after beating the elite four. The islands will have small quests and other little things like a very rare legendary pokemon. Anyway bye for now... ;)

[Shinin]

awesome hack!!!!!!!!
those screens r awesome!!!!!!!!!1

[Krazy_Meerkat]

ok shinin, it isnt a hack :). this is an actual game built from scratch. please remember this in future :)

[DarkMage31]

WRONG SECTION!

http://boodasack.dumb-geek.com/col/girlorboy.PNG (background is the same pic, as well as message box for your signs)

http://boodasack.dumb-geek.com/col/cherry.PNG (message system is the same)
---

Anyway, I don't doubt you, I'm just looking at the facts. I regret to say that Pokemon Lunar, my game, doesn't have all original graphics. The Hiro sprite isn't original (I'm going to use a different one for the final though), and most of my chipsets and charsets aren't either. How do you make rips? How do you get every frame?

[Sorye HK]

If you go to gamingw.net there's a utlity called animget. It saves a screenshot of every millisecond when the game commences. That's what I use.

[RM2K3kid]

I use Visual Boy Advance for maps ,doors, menus, text boxes and pallets. For the characters I use TLP(Tile Layer Pro). It takes a while but the end result is worth it. Anyway boodasack is using sphere and I can't wait till he releases his game. Thanks for your comments and what do you think of the seceret islands idea?

[DarkMage31]

Thanks you two. I'll start making my custom resources now! w00t! I'll need that frame capture thing for the panning intro of the CBS.

Anything secret sounds very cool!

[Avatar]

If you go to gamingw.net there's a utlity called animget. It saves a screenshot of every millisecond when the game commences. That's what I use.

You use animget too?
That program is sweet... it makes it so much easier to rip graphics and it is very easy to use too

[DarkMage31]

Alright, I got Animget, and I captured some screens. Now I have to edit the frames to three walking poses for each direction, and give a solid background to composite out?

And where can I get that TLP thing?

[Sorye HK]

Tile Layer Pro is a program for the GBA. Check the Emulator/Patch section. I think I downloaded mine off there.

[Avatar]

Alright, I got Animget, and I captured some screens. Now I have to edit the frames to three walking poses for each direction, and give a solid background to composite out?

And where can I get that TLP thing?

Are you making a charset or..?

And yes you need a solid background

[DarkMage31]

What about TLP? Where can I get that?

Edit: Sorry, didn't see your post daegon :D

[Intuition]

Sounds great man.. I like the secret islands idea

[RM2K3kid]

great, thanks I'm ripping the seceret islands maps right now. The game is going great I'm almost upto the first city. bye for now!!

[freakboy]

did you know that you can see your (running) hero in the intro of your demo,
if you press [shift] (for speed), do you have fixed this?

[RM2K3kid]

Yeah i knew that I'll fix that in my next demo k.

[Krazy_Meerkat]

when will that next demo be comming out?

[DarkMage31]

Hey, I've got a question. How do you change the fonts in your game? More importantly, where did you get the Pokemon font? If you made it yourself, how do you make fonts? There are fonts in .png format at www.pokefor.tk, so how can I convert these to .fon or .ttf? I have an rm2k utility that changes fonts, but I need to get the fonts first!!! :D Can you help with this?

[RM2K3kid]

Krazy_Meerkat - Not sure still working on it, hopefully soon.

DarkMage31 - I just changed the font in the rm2k3's Database. You change it when choosing your system graphic. I guess thats what you meant.

[Sorye HK]

Darkmage's talking about changing his .png file into a .fon file and then implementing that custom font into the game.

[RM2K3kid]

But I did not make the font. The font is one of two default fonts used in rm2k3 all I did was change it.

[Cartmic]

sorry if this is a bit off topic, but hows your blue hack comming along.

[DarkMage31]

Right, I just figured that out. Thanks anyway. Off to find R/S fonts!

[RM2K3kid]

Hey cartmic I gave up making my hack it kept screwing up so I just put more into liquid instead.

[RM2K3kid]

Hey everyone I just like to give you a small update on the progress of liquid. I just finnished the pokedex. I've added some screens of it to my site.

[DarkMage31]

Thanks for putting those fonts up! Where did you get them so I can credit them in my game?

You made all those charsets/chipsets?

Did you draw those pkdex pics yourself? Looks great, and reminiscent of mine (I just gotta make higher-res pics of my pokemon and add the data and entries). Looks great!!!

[RM2K3kid]

I'm not sure where i got the font's from. I ripped all those characters and maps directly from fr/lg. And yes I did draw all the pokedex pics except for the pokemon :D . Your game looks great too DM.

[DarkMage31]

Why thank you! In any case, is there anything else new with this game?

[RM2K3kid]

Well I'm working on the Trainer/Pokemon battle system at the moment. I'm also working on the first city. But i've been tired :sleeping: lately so not much has been done. But more will be done this weekend :P .

[DarkMage31]

Thank all the greatness in the world for the weekends!!!:D:D:P

[RM2K3kid]

I would just like to give a small update on my site. I added a page that has all the new pokemon that are going to add to my game. Please give comments on them. Oh and Pokemon Liquid is going good I might add some new screens later :D .

[Scyther]

i went to your site
i was so happy to se my volteon there :D
will he be in pokemon liquid?
and is that what u made the other topic for so you could get sprites for liquid?
because if you need sprites il have a go at them for you
p.s i cant do the ones new ideas you put on the other topic
i need ones like volteon cuz i find it easyer to edit pokemon than to make newones and i only used jolteons body

[Gymdawg]

The game is very, very (ubertastically friggin', super-dooper, I'm outta breath) good. I downloaded the demo last night, it's amazing...

Anywho, I was wondering if you would mind me using your sprites in my game? You said to ask so that's what I'm doing...

[RM2K3kid]

Scyther - Yes all the pokemon that are in the Pokedex on my site are going to be used in Pokemon Liquid. Yes I made the other one because I needed sprites for liquid. You can do some sprites for me if you want to I will give you some later on k.

Gymdawg - Yes you can use my sprites remeber give me credit please :nervous: ....

[Scyther]

[FONT=Comic Sans MS][COLOR=Navy]Scyther - Yes all the pokemon that are in the Pokedex on my site are going to be used in Pokemon Liquid. Yes I made the other one because I needed sprites for liquid. You can do some sprites for me if you want to I will give you some later on k.
either post them here, Pm or email me at shane_adamc@hotmail.com
i will sprite the creatures for you but the ones at the moment on the other thred are too complex for me

[RM2K3kid]

I will post them here when I find some that I want to add to my game. Thanks

[Gymdawg]

If I wasn't gonna give credit would I have bothered to ask?
Thanks rm2k3kid, too bad I have to start over. Our computer's a big POS so my mom wiped the hard drive and I love everything I couldn't fit on my dad's new 128 Mb USB watch thing...

[DarkMage31]

Oo, you've got a USB watch? I'm getting one! They're so cool (or at least for geeks like me, j/k)! Too bad about the hard drive... lots of peoples' comps are crashing/getting formatted/wiped. It's really too bad...

[Gymdawg]

Yep, my dad got one, along with his $2000+ laptop! And I'm stuck with a 5-year-old POS running ME...

[RM2K3kid]

It sucks to have a realy old PC. I got 3 pc's, 1 i've had for around 7 years, the other one for 5 years and my laptop 1 and half years. Anyway's back on topic. I've ripped the rocket characters from Leaf Green and i'm changing them into the classic evil team for liquid. The new team is the andros team it may sound weird but I like it :P ....

[Sorye HK]

Another improvement! Yay!
Nice to see you still busy with the project.

Town's & City's: 85.03%
There was only two towns/cities in the last
demo. Does this mean you're only going to do
3~5 towns/cities?

[Blitz~2005]

so i was thinkin about this new hack

i like 2 play other ppls hacks and was wondering if i could hav a demo
or beta test it or somthi :P

[Misdreavus]

Its not a hack, its a game made from scratch on RPG Maker
Why do people get this wrong? Theres a big difference!

[Thunder]

umm this is not a hack are u dumb or somethging*Puts him on list of dumb idiots for dumb idiot of the year award* this is a game made from scratch so it is not a hack i hack is when u modifiy something ok and anyway there is not a a next beta he is gonna realese the full version when it done

[RM2K3kid]

People and hacks... yikes... Anyways I might release another demo befor I polish it off and release the full version(Long time befor I finnish it). If I do release another demo it will have 1 city + 4 towns but don't expect it too soon. Anyway more to come :D ...

[Craig619]

rm2k3kid are you allowing other people to use your battle system if they provide you with the credit. (by 'other people' i mean me, by 'they' i mean me')

[Dawson]

can't wait for the new demo to come out. i hope you made it a bit easier to catch the first pokemon because i could never catch one.

[DarkMage31]

Hey, nice new sig. What program did you do that in 2k3kid?

Heh, catching it is simply a matter of throwing three bait and three stones, every other one. Instant win (I think)!

And good luck, it's lookin' great!

[RM2K3kid]

Yeah sure go ahead you can use my battle system with credit of course :) . I can always make catching a pokemon easier but I will do that later. Thanks DM31.... I used a program called Ulead Photo Express 2.0 SE...

[Gymdawg]

I'm hoping you'll release another demo soon, as I must redownload Liquid again due to my POS being rebooted completely...I know I can get the old one but, I was looking forward to some updates.

[RM2K3kid]

I'm going to work on it this weekend so I might release a tiny demo with the next city in it. So keep an eye out...

[DarkMage31]

Sure will! Sounds good! Make any changes to the CMS besides adding the Pokedex?

[RM2K3kid]

The next city will have the first GYM and lots of other things... I'm hoping to release it either friday or saturday :D ...

[PatriotFan89]

Sounds awesome! I can't wait! Any possibility of an earlier release? lol I'm really anxious to see what's new!

[RM2K3kid]

oooow we'll see... I'll see how much I get done tonight...k

[PatriotFan89]

OK, I was just wondering. Take your time, because we'd rather wait to have a better game than be impatient and get a poorly made piece of junk. lol

[RM2K3kid]

Yeah I'll take as much time that is needed....

[Dawson]

another demo! can't wait. im guessing that since you'll have the first gym that your battle system will be playabe, am i correct?

[DarkMage31]

More updates... yummy.

So what might we expect in this new release?

[RM2K3kid]

1) First GYM(with playable battle sys)
2) Meet the evil team
3) Learn more of the story
4) Bag, Pokedex, Pokemon menu's
5) New pokemon
6) also an intro
7) I also added music

So I hope to release it either Friday or Saturday no promises for it's release on those dates k :) ...

[Thunder]

YAY NEW DEMO YAY YAY YAY *goes and kills osama cuz hes happy*

[Gymdawg]

W00t updates!

*waits for weekend*

[RM2K3kid]

lol... I'm still working on the battle system so if I have any problems with it I will set the demo release date back a bit.

[P-Reaper]

This will be good week for me even if you don't release it; because, tomorrow is the last day of school. But i'm still hoping this week will be the week of its release.

[RM2K3kid]

I need some battle formulas for my battle sys if I can get that I can release the demo as soon as posible. But until then I need a damage formula and an exprience formula. Thanks alot... Oh and the game is coming along great even the battle sys(holted until I get formulas).

[RM2K3kid]

Ok I have made up a damage formula all that I need todo now is get an exp formula. Demo set back a few days sorry guys.

[DarkMage31]

There were some formulas posted in the group project thread... can't remember the link though... :dead:

[RM2K3kid]

Yeah I based my damage formula on one of those formulas. And I'm planning and exp one right now.

[DarkMage31]

Let us know what formula you'll use :) I'd like to know!

[RM2K3kid]

Ok I got the experience formula planned out. All I have todo now is get the skill's base damage. I have also updated menu's here and there and I have made a way of showing money on the trainer card. The menu were you chose your pokemon is underway. I'm still planning the Item menu so that's going to be put lower on my list of things todo. I have also ironed out a few glitches. I have ripped some new chips for my game. And that's about it so far... As you can see no demo for a while but there will be one... I'll put some screens of the battle sys up some time soon. Oh and DM as soon as the formulas work I'll throw them the your way... Ok gotta get back to work now :D ....

[DarkMage31]

Making a lot more progress with the CMS than I am... I'm such a procratinator when it comes to the Pokemon select screen and item screen :)

[RM2K3kid]

I wish I had more time on my hands I would have had alot more done if I did. Oh well I will not be able to anymore until the weekend :tired: ...Bye for now.

[Avatar]

I wish I had more time on my hands I would have had alot more done if I did. Oh well I will not be able to anymore until the weekend :tired: ...Bye for now.

I have alot of free time on my hands, but i cant really think up any story/game/ etc. :confused:

So hows the game progressing?

[RM2K3kid]

Well none of the game can be continued until I get a few menus and the battle sys working. But I have finnished nearly every map in the game just a few inner maps left to do. I'm in around the first city second route area with events. Well anyway I gotta go...

[Sorye HK]

Then could you at least show us a few screenshots of some towns and events in the game? It's been quite a long time since you uploaded any.

[RM2K3kid]

Ok I'm very happy about the battle sys I used and moded Krazy's naming sys and made it store stats instead of storing letters. And Krazy im giving you a load of credit for it. Anyway I'm going to add some screens if freewebs is working... Ok bye

[Sorye HK]

Yay! I'm glad you made some progress with the battle system.
If you do add any more screens please let us know. I'm really
anxious to see them.

[Krazy_Meerkat]

Ok I'm very happy about the battle sys I used and moded Krazy's naming sys and made it store stats instead of storing letters. And Krazy im giving you a load of credit for it. Anyway I'm going to add some screens if freewebs is working... Ok bye
i was about to say!

thank you very much for the credit, I worked very hard to code letters into variables and I had to use some very complicated maths. I hope you can get your game finished soon.

[RM2K3kid]

I'm uploading them now It also has one screen of the battle sys. So check back at my site in 5-10 mins. 10 screens total. And thanks krazy you did a great job with it.

[Krazy_Meerkat]

:) no probs. i will check back after dinner, cya then

[RM2K3kid]

I have uploaded the screens now you can drool over them :laugh: ... Anyway as soon as the battle sys is complete I can continue with the rest of the game... I gotta go dinner is nearly ready :) ...

[Krazy_Meerkat]

wow great screens! sorry I couldnt say anything before, I have been working.. so close now..

EDIT: I just noticed something. my posts are 333 and rm2k3kid's are 111... wow

[Sorye HK]

Nice screens! I especially liked the battle screens.
For the long building in one of your screenshots, I suggest
making the roof's length a little longer.
{width (-) length(l)}

[DarkMage31]

{width (-) length(ㅣhttp://pokecommunity.com/images/smilies/Normal/wink.gif}

What's that supposed to mean?

Anyway, those screens look great! Awesome ripping!

That's one small gym you've got there

And I found a typo. It says "Signup has not begain" and it should be "Signup has not begun." (I think ;))

[RM2K3kid]

Thanks for the comments. Oh and DM thanks for spotting the typo and the reason why the gym is so small is because the first gym is nearly always small and I might remove a trainer befor I release a demo. I'm in the proccess of adding and moding the damage and EXP formulas.

[Sorye HK]

What's that supposed to mean?

That was a typo.
It's really meant to say

width(-) length(l)

I can't explain it better than that.

[DarkMage31]

How is (ㅣhttp://pokecommunity.com/images/smilies/Normal/wink.gif} a typo for (l)?

Anyway, it doesn't matter. Why would you remove a trainer?

[RM2K3kid]

I'll have to see how it works out with the trainers. I haven't got anyt more done yet but more will be done soon.

[Sorye HK]

How is (ㅣ} a typo for (l)?

There's a letter in the Korean alphabet that looks like l.
However; when I type it into the message box and post, it comes out
as ㅣ. Hope this explains everything.

[DarkMage31]

You use a korean keyboard? That's kewl! How is it different from english ones?

OK, let's try to stay on topic for once :(

[Sorye HK]

There's a little button you press to change between Korean and English.
Or ALT. You have to get the Korean IME First. The Korean keyboard is the
same as the English one. Except for the fact that some capital letters are
replaced with double Korean ones. (ex:ss-one letter)

Anyway, let's get back on topic!

[RM2K3kid]

Please do... I'm working on the battle sys still.. :tired: ..but it's going very good. I just implemented the hp bar into the battle sys. Oh and lucky I had a copy of liquid on my other computer because this one got wiped clean :laugh: ... Now I'm running XP Pro instead of home edition...

Anyway I'm working realy hard on the battle sys to get it ready so I can continue with the rest of the game. I best get going.

[PatriotFan89]

Good luck with the battle system! Hope you do an awesome job! Keep us updated!

[RM2K3kid]

Thanks... I'll keep you guys updated on the progress of the batte sys...

[Rhykasho]

cant wait till its done, i want a Stalageon :'(

[RM2K3kid]

I might put stalageon in somewhere but the battle sys is almost done yay :laugh: ... So it's plain sailing then on :) ...

[RM2K3kid]

Ok Everyone I have made a forum for pokemon liquid I will be posting most of my updates there. http://s8.invisionfree.com/Pokemon_Liquid/index.php . Please sign up and I hope you enjoy it.

[Sorye HK]

I joined your forums. Doesn't seem to be a lot of
members YET

[Blitz~2005]

have you got a beta test for pokemon liquid

[Krazy_Meerkat]

Go to the Pokemon Liquid Site (http://www.freewebs.com/pkliquid)

[RM2K3kid]

I'm still asking for people to join. So please join :D .

[DarkMage31]

According to the rules, you're not supposed to advertise forums in your posts, but you can do it in your sig. But since you didn't make a new thread advertising it, I don't have to edit your post or anything :)

Since I run an IF forum of my own, take some advice: use lots of skins and codes. Enter all sorts of cool javascript stuff in your Board Wrappers, and make a skin selector. Just raid the invision free support forums for all the best stuff ;)

I'll join :)

[RM2K3kid]

Ok some people think that I have quit making Pokemon Liquid well wrong I have been working on it without telling many people. I have put some new screens up on this (http://s8.invisionfree.com/Pokemon_Liquid/index.php?showtopic=6) page. Just so people don't go asking when the next demo is going to be out I'll say that I have been working around the battle sys (Avoiding it) and will wait until the r/s battle sys is released to put in liquid. So the release date for the demo will not be set until the battle sys is released. Any way Liquid is moving fast and should be complete in a few months story only. The rest should be finnished after the story that's what I'm hoping :nervous: . Byre for now :D .

[Sorye HK]

Well, I saw those screens yesterday but I like them all the same!

[Krazy_Meerkat]

Just remember that a few variables and switches are being used. Can't wait for the demo :)

[RM2K3kid]

As soon as the battle sys is complete I should be able to release a demo :) . Thats the good thing but until then you guys will have to wait :disappoin . And Krazy can you tell me how many variable are needed for the battle sys?

[Sorye HK]

Well... The battle system uses (so far) variables: 1-74 and for some reason 145-146.. I think it uses some variables from the 2500 block for pokemon information. Also it uses switches 1-27.

This is what I've heard.

[Dawson]

I was really looking forward to your battle system. Oh well, if it means that you can concentrate on events and maps then it must be good.

[RM2K3kid]

Well I did a bit to much concentrating last night and I did so much work that I had a major headache afterwards :sleeping: . Now that I have slept it off I'll be right back into it! But the bad thing is school starts again tomorrow, so much for my holiday :'( .... Anyway the good thing is I got alot of work done :D . If you guys realy want my CBS as well as the R/S one I'll be glad to finnish it of when I complete Liquid. Bye all

[Sorye HK]

Well, I'm happy that you got a lot of work done.
Where I am, summer holiday hasn't even started.
Anyway, keep it up!

[RM2K3kid]

Ok I have added 10 new screens go here (http://s8.invisionfree.com/Pokemon_Liquid/index.php?showtopic=6&st=0) to see them! ;)

[Booda Sack]

looks awesome rm2k3kid.
Keep up the good work.

[Dawson]

screens look great, can't wait for the next demo.

[Sorye HK]

Neat looking screens, rm2k3kid. I'm sure me and plenty of
other people are waiting for the next beta of your game. Keep
it up!

[Auriok_Steelshaper]

Wow!
Those screens are awesome!
I can't wait for the next demo, it's gonna be so cool!

[SKainuiG]

The first Chip reminded me of Glitch City... O_o

Wow, cool game you got, I just d'loaded it and looked through the screen shots and it's pretty awesome, too bad it's only a demo... Also where did you get RPG maker 2003... can you down load it from somewhere or do you have to buy it? I remember hearing someone say you could download it, but I wasn't sure.

What I would add to the game: Battle scenes like in the games, I've seen it done with RPG maker 95 and also some running shoes...

[Sorye HK]

Read the FAQ about where to get RM2K3.
Or just go to www.rmdownloads.com
Remember to read the FAQ. It's been stickied for a reason.

[PKMN_Sage]

Awesome work rm2k3kid! I can tell you've put a lot of work into this game.

[RM2K3kid]

Thanks guys :) You made me realy happy, now I know that all my hard work isn't going to waste. Now I want to work harder on it! :)

[rubyrulez]

This game is coming along great, you really are putting all you've got into making this game the best it can be! Everything looks awesome and I can't wait for the next demo!

[Sorye HK]

Thanks guys :) You made me realy happy, now I know that all my hard work isn't going to waste. Now I want to work harder on it! :)

Nice to hear that. hope to see more work from
you, rm2k3kid!

[RM2K3kid]

Oh there should be lots of work! I'm just writing the script to one of the scene's in Liquid at the moment, so as soon as that’s done I should be able to move on from the cave in to one of the large cities!

[Sorye HK]

That's good to hear. It's like hearing myself when I first
started using rm2k3. Stopped because I couldn't get enough
chipsets and charasets. Anyway, I'm going to keep following up
on this game until the finish!!!

[RM2K3kid]

Good thing that people are still interested in my game! If nobody said anything I would have dropped this project ages ago! But now I'm never going to give up on it :) . Thanks Daegon and every one else who are supporting me! :)

[Krazy_Meerkat]

I'm with you too man! Can't wait for the next demo :)
Scenes? :D This is gonna be such a mad game

[RM2K3kid]

Thanks krazy! The demo should be good! I just heard about the demo of the battle sys being released tommorow so if I can get that I should have a demo realy soon!

[RM2K3kid]

Thanks to the complexity of the group project's battle sys, I have decided to make my own battle sys but mine is FR/LG Style! Anyway I have added some screens of the battle sys and the mart sys here (http://s8.invisionfree.com/Pokemon_Liquid/index.php?showtopic=6&st=15) !

[Brittany]

Simply stunning. Umm, it's hard to find more words to describe it though...
Maybe I'm just feeling stupid right now. I'll find more words to describe it later...

*dies from hangover*

[Dawson]

Great! It's a bit similar to mine. I like the fact that you've made the screen smaller because it gets rid of a lot of plain space.

[Sorye HK]

I agree with phoenix. The buy, sell box should be more alligned with the message
box in my opinion though. Great work!

[DarkMage31]

Great job! Your strength through all of your screenshots and demos and such is very much so your natural knack for working with pictures and manipulating them on the screen, something I could never quite figure out. I love it all. This will be so much better than my game ;)

[Dizzy]

*Shocked* I've been stalking your game lol, But I wanna play the Demo! You're Site is "Account Frozen" at the moment... So what am I to do?

[PKMN_Sage]

It seems that I'm a little late, since everyone has given you praise already. Nevertheless...Awesome work rm2k3kid! You really deserve all these compliments for your hard work on creating your own CBS even when there is already a Pokemon Style battle system created for you and the public to use. I'll definetly be in the LOOOOONG line awaiting to download the next demo!

[RM2K3kid]

Thanks guys! The good thing is that I already attempted the CBS which failed due to lack of GFX, I already have most of the formulas in rm2k3 :) . So the battle sys should be done very soon! And the black boxes around the battle area will be changed to some nicer colorful GFX suiting the area which the battle is located! The mart thing will change a bit I'll just see how it goes :) ! Once again thanks guys for all your support!

[RM2K3kid]

I got board so I put a pole up so you can vote on how you think Pokemon Liquid is! Oh small update on the battle sys... It's almost done yay :P !!!! I'll Post some screens when I finnish it!

[rubyrulez]

Well, I can't hardly wait for the next demo. I voted awesome on the poll, by the way!

[Sorye HK]

Me too. I think this game's really awesome. Keep it up!

[RM2K3kid]

Here are some new screens of my CBS! I would like to ask if anyone could make me some boarders for the battle sys.(The boarder is the Gray Tiles in the screens)

[rubyrulez]

wow, those screens look awesome! Keep it up you're making a great game!

[RM2K3kid]

I decided to add some more screens for you guys to look at! A question how do you show the hero's HP on the HP Bar?

[shaz3d]

Looks good from here keep going

[PKMN_Sage]

It's very impressive! I think it's one the most accurate looking Pokemon battle system out of all the games here. Just add the HP bar and it would look perfect!

[RM2K3kid]

Thank you PKMN_Sage, and that's the only thing that I have todo befor I release the demo!

[PKMN_Sage]

Hooray! I always get excited over a demo release, and I already know this one will be a great game to play. Can't wait rm2k3kid!

[Sorye HK]

That means it's only a couple of days or hours before the next demo!
Yay!

[DarkMage31]

A question how do you show the hero's HP on the HP Bar?

Set a variable for the hero's health (if you have all your pkmn as heros) and then use fork conditions and pictures. I don't have time to fully explain how I would do it, but there are tutorials on GW.

Whoa, I'm using your font and color. Cool!

[RM2K3kid]

I got the HP bar working so I'll go and see what else that I have todo and then I should have a demo!
Here's a screenshot of it:
http://projects.lateralshift.net/pkliquid/files/BattleSysHPBarYay.PNG
Yes it does need a few little details added but that will be done ;) !

Comments welcome! :)

[Sorye HK]

Well, your screens look really good!
I think that the trainer should be more on the left though.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

[rebellee1187]

Awesome screens, but you spelled MarilL wrong. Needs another L. Otherwise, looks good. And I think Daegon had a point about the trainer.

[freakboy]

nice screenies rm2k3kid :D

@Daegon_Kimeron... maybe he wanted the trainer sprite is in the middle of the grass.
@rebellee1187... maybe there is no space for that L cause the font is to big :dead:

[Fox_Die]

my pc does a little bit weird so sorry for this dubble post^ Just click the edit button and delete one of them.

Nice screens rm2k3kid, can't wait for the demo to come out, Keep it up.

[PatriotFan89]

Screens are looking great! I can't wait for the demo either.

[PKMN_Sage]

Really nice screens! The battle system looks really good, and it's much better than the one the previous demo had.

[Barry]

It is a very exact demo and even though I like this battle system better, the other battle system idea was a great idea anyway.

[Tetris]

Awesome screenshots! This looks to be a very promising game, and I like how you remade the battle! Super! Anyway, I'm probably gonna line up for your game! Pretty wicked! And pretty good too! I can't wait for your demo, so I will check a lot! You seem to be getting good at this, so I hope you have a fun, excellent and great time! Anyways, good luck!
~Tetris

[RmDragon]

Ha Ha so my bro rm2k3kid wasn't lying when he said that people liked his game! I've played it and it's pretty good! But I wish he would let me help him but oh well! I just signed up here so hi every 1 here!

[DarkMage31]

I noticed you two had the same IP, but I didn't realize you two were brothers. Hello, RmDragon! Does the "RM" stand for "RPG Maker?"

[PKMN_Sage]

Maybe there's hope that you could bring something to the board like your brother has. Sometimes people don't want help so that in the end of creating the game, he'll be more satisfied that he did himself.

[RM2K3kid]

The demo is getting closer and closer! I have completed the trainer CBS and Safari CBS and I'm now moving on to the Wild Pokemon CBS! So I'll keep you guys posted! Oh and I just found out last night that my bro signed up, so it looks like he'll be here as well!

[RmDragon]

Yes RM stands for RPG Maker! I'm thinking of starting my own game! The good thing is that my bro has alot of knowledge of rm2k3 so it's gonna be way easier to make! But I'm still thinking about it!

[Sorye HK]

Well, good luck to the both of you!

[Krazy_Meerkat]

That would be interesting, i wonder how it turns out...

[PKMN_Sage]

I wish I had a brother that could have helped me my first time. Lucky you. :)

I really would like to see how your game would turn out. Keep us updated!

[Barry]

Well I'm kind of with everyone else, though I don't need a brother. I've got all of your support right here. :D

So then don't forget about your topic.

Maybe your just working on it.

[santadidit102]

nice work rm2k3kid!!the demo is awesome!!!!!!!!!

[santadidit102]

[PatriotFan89]

Dude! You posted the same thing three times O_o! The game is sounding really good rm2k3kid!

[Mena]

Dude! You posted the same thing three times O_o! The game is sounding really good rm2k3kid!
He probly did it cause it wouldn't send so then he pressed submit a billion times, and good luck on your game rm2k3kid.

[Avatar]

He probly did it cause it wouldn't send so then he pressed submit a billion times, and good luck on your game rm2k3kid.

I doubt that's the case, they put in a spam filter so people can't do that anymore.

[DarkMage31]

Yeah, I think there's a thirdy second flood gate. Unless his comp is seriously derranged, there's no excuse ;)

[Barry]

I accidently made three threads in a row. It's possible if there was a database problem that this could occur (that's what happened to me).

Stupid mySQL...

[DarkMage31]

I doubt it's MySQL. Anyway, BACK ON TOPIC!

Any updates for this game?

[RM2K3kid]

I'll have the demo ready as soon as I add some trainers and I get the testers evaluations on it! Then you guys can play it! 2-3 days I hope!

[rubyrulez]

Awesome, this is great! I really can't wait to play this demo. It's gonna be so cool!

[PKMN_Sage]

Same here! So many demos have been released lately. I can't wait for yours rm2k3kid!

[Mena]

This is most definitly going to my MUST PLAY LIST, I can't wait!

[Mephias]

sounds good rm2k3kid i hope the demo comes sooon cause i can't wait any longer!

[Gymdawg]

Yea, I've waited a looong time for this demo.

Oh yea, I'm back. I've been busy with making a game with my friends (sorry everyone who signed on to help, but we just weren't getting anything done :(, we could still use some help if anyone wants to try again, send me a PM...)

Back on topic, I can't wait for the demo.

[Mena]

I just wanted to post this real quick, TAKE YOUR TIME! Don't hurry for the next demo, I would rather wait instead of trying to hurry you up, the more time you spend on it the better it will get, so take your time.

[RM2K3kid]

I'm almost done with the trainers but there's a couple of things that i'm going to do. Not much longer guys all I need is the support and things will be done!

[Mephias]

you've got my support man 100%

[Avatar]

I'm almost done with the trainers but there's a couple of things that i'm going to do. Not much longer guys all I need is the support and things will be done!

[PKMN_Sage]

If all my post don't show how much I support this, then I don't know what will.

[Krazy_Meerkat]

[Blacktrooper]

You got my support rm2k3kid keep up the good work

[DarkDoom3000]

You got my support dude I cant wait till your demo is relased

[Barry]

So if this isn't a big line of spam all saying the same thing, then I support you to even a possible game after this one. Good luck with everything. Can't wait to see the playable progression.

[RM2K3kid]

Ok I got "a" demo of pokemon liquid but it's not the one that I wanted you guys to play because it has bit's missing but I got board of it so here it is!

[rubyrulez]

Awesome, I can't wait to play this it's gonna be so awesome! By the way, glad to see you back man it's been a while! :)

-Edit- There's actually a problem with the name enter thingy. I get stuck there and can't continue. By the way, the intro is really cool!

[RM2K3kid]

I'll fix that now and reupload the rpg_rt.exe!

EDIT:
Ok everyone replace the rpg_rt.exe in the pokemon liquid folder with the one attached to this message!

[Mena]

I am going to go play it right now, can't wait!

[Barry]

I think Iwas the first person to play it =D :: brags :: Looks really good.

[Brittany]

I just played through it and I LOVE it! I just wish it didn't take forever to catch my first Pokemon, lol.

[Goatman56]

there is know way to catch a pokemon u throw a pokeball breaks free then runs its impossible i gave a pichu 5 bait thingys and 5 rock boom broke free its impossible to catch one

[Sorye HK]

Well, if it's that hard, make the variables pokemon trust to 10 and enemy Hp (var11) to 1. For Gym battles and such change Enemy HP (var44) to whatever.

Evaluation

1. once you decide to back out of the 'club' you can go back in.
->which causes more problems
2. When you're pokemon's Hp's 0, the message 'fainted' covers the previous message.
3. If you press 'bag' twice it goes on to Trainer's card.
4. How do you exit the pokedex?
5. The girl in the route upwards Prof.James's house comes toward me in a weird direction and the battle doesn't start. (route 4)
6. The 'rm2k3kid's test battle' in the first town doesn't work for me.
7. There's a couple of cut off rooves in Wimma Port.
8. The test battle in blackhawk town doesn't work. (NO HP BARS THEN IT FREEZES)
9. When you first meet Jessica, she says 'you mut be Daegon' no s in must.
10. The chairman says 'were counting on you' it should be we're.
11. The kid says 'their stealing pokemon' it should be the're.
12. 'were counting on you' we're.
13. I liked the idea of the stupid pokemon trainer that can't move her pokemon.
14. GREAT GAME!

[rubyrulez]

I just played through it and I LOVE it! I just wish it didn't take forever to catch my first Pokemon, lol.

I still haven't caught my first Pokemon! How can anybody do it?

[Mephias]

omg I love it
-Aw man I looked at your pictures, I have those pics ripped from fr/lg too where if you enter an important cave or forest a pic pops up. Good Idea I didn't think anyone else would do it, your too quick for me. You've made me proud rm2k3kid! :P
-Where did you get those some of those pics, those parallex background, and omg im speechless where do you get this stuff, you are the man.

[Booda Sack]

Played it and it was pretty good but way to rushed so there are quite a few bugs but definatly cool.

[AbareMax]

I love the demo, but I can't catch a pokemon! Has anyone figured out how to? I'm so sad... Anyways, keep up the good work RM2K3kid!

[Mena]

I caught a POKEMON! But I actually cheated so I guess it doesn't count, anyways I thought your battle system was cool but when I talked to the gary guy it didn't show any hp for the battle test, but I liked your game!

[Sorye HK]

Well, if catching pokemon is that hard, make the variables pokemon trust to 10 and enemy Hp (var11) to 1. For Gym battles and such change Enemy HP (var44) to whatever.

I mentioned how to get a pokemon here. (easily)

[Mephias]

AAA no i caught one then got stuck in the pokedex and didn't save, *goes to try again*

[RM2K3kid]

As some people have noticed I forgot to delete some test battles so they may not work because they are not meant to be there. Bugs well it’s a demo. Spelling, not my strong point and I hit keys accidentally. If there is anything that you want me to change, make better or add to the game just tell me. Anymore bugs just tell me(I need to know). Thanks Guys!

[Booda Sack]

There is a bug in the shop when I whent to exit the menu the box with the arrows was still there I couldnt move around and I start again.

[Mystic-Blaster]

I can't enter a name, what should I do?
